A foreigner asked me,

“Are Japanese people still wearing masks because they’re scared of viruses?”

Honestly?

Not really.

Of course,
some people wear masks for health reasons.
But many Japanese people wear them because they didn’t do their makeup.

Because they forgot to shave.

Because they look tired.

Because they don’t feel like talking.

Because they just don’t want to show their face today.

And every spring,
pollen attacks the whole country like it has a personal grudge.

So no.
Japan’s mask culture is not just about fear.

Sometimes it’s health.

Sometimes it’s manners.

And sometimes it’s just,

“Please don’t look at my face today.”

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

I Lost my wallet in Tokyo. Like completely lost it. I had all my cards, my cash, everything. I was freaking out.

Went back to every place I'd been that day. Nothing. Went to the police station to file a report, not expecting anything.

The officer asked for my name and address where I was staying. Went to check the lost and found.

I came back with my wallet. Everything is still in it. All the cash, all the cards, even receipts I didn't care about.

I was shocked. Asked where it was found. He checked the report and said "Family Mart, Shibuya. Turned in by an employee 20 minutes after you left."

I went back to that Family Mart to thank whoever found it. The employee who turned it in wasn't there, but his coworker said he'll pass along the message.

I asked what the person's name was so I could come back. The coworker looked confused and said "he doesn't need thanks. It is normal to return a wallet."

Like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Of course you return a lost wallet. Why wouldn't you?

I'd been living in the US too long, I guess. Forgot that some places, doing the right thing is just... normal.

I remind you that manga artists are human beings who have feelings and who only wish to bring happiness to readers through their works. I consider bullying towards Syundei completely disrespectful, does nobody remember what happened to Hinako Ashihara? You are heartless.

[Você Sabia Anime / Hoss @VoceSabiaAnime]

Devido aos Acontecimentos recentes aonde a autora de Ganbare Nakamura-kun sofreu hate e deixou o twitter e outros autores falaram de "fãs" que querem influenciar nos mangás, o Anime Trends reviveu uma antiga fala do Tite Kubo, autor de Bleach.

Ele disse na época:

“Vou dizer isso porque há algumas pessoas que parecem não entender. O que os leitores têm não é o direito de mudar a história de uma obra. O que eles têm é o direito de escolher se vão lê-la ou não. Se você não gosta, então apenas pare de ler.

Se você tem talento para criar algo mais interessante que Bleach, então deveria imediatamente se tornar um mangaká. Se realmente for mais interessante, você definitivamente terá mais sucesso que Bleach.

Se você diz que não sabe desenhar, então trabalhe duro, torne-se editor e dê conselhos aos mangakás. Se você realmente tem talento, será bem-vindo em qualquer lugar.

Mas se você não tem talento, não se esforça e mesmo assim reclama daqueles que dão o seu melhor — se você é o tipo de pessoa que só atrapalha quem está trabalhando duro — então vá se esconder em algum lugar, mantenha os olhos fechados, a boca fechada e viva da chuva e da sujeira.”

30 years old animation quality 🤯

[Zak Wood (zakaz96.bsky.social 🦋) @ZakaZ96]

I feel a scene like this made 30 years ago adds ammo against people who think Kids Movies are expected to be a babysitting timewaster and not have significant in them outside of visuals, especially for characters that previously had little to them to work with

"Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder blasts AI creators as "losers" and says she wants to "put their head in the toilet and flush":

“The people who make this stuff are losers. They’re not artists. They’re not creative. And they’ve wanted their whole lives to be special. And they’re not special. So, they’re trying to rob real creative people of our gifts. And you can’t. And even if you try, you will never be cool. You guys suck. No one likes you. Anyone who’s near you is because they crave power and access over any ethical standard. You are a loser. You will never be cool. And you probably had a rolly backpack in high school. I wanna put your head in the toilet and flush.”
