El-Hazard: The Magnificent World. It's a fun, short watch, gorgeous animation, and shockingly relevant for examinations of isekai of the last 30 years... ...and, eerily enough, our current political climate.

Today the Camelot & Vine audiobook is 2 years old! It was nominated for the 2023 Society of Voice Arts and Sciences award for author narration, and might have even won if the competition hadn't been the likes of Bono! (whose audiobook is gorgeous, by the way). books2read.com/camelotandvi...

Everyone, we could not imagine that after starting this campaign, we would double it with two weeks left still to go. Thank you all for 100k! kck.st/3EwQgdZ Stay tuned, we'll soon have some big things to share.

"Part of me wonders if the reason there’s no manosphere in Japan is because even the most fragile of males can take solace in the fact that women really do have it worse than them." Even though there's no simple answer to this complex comparison of cultures, this splendid write-up is insightful.

nothing new for this #bandcampfriday but if you're looking for something to yearn through or heal with, perhaps my emo jambient glitchscapegaze tunes could take you somewhere you need to be for a little while 💗 all purchases help so much! ourdearfriendthemedic.bandcamp.com/music

"Of course, [the campaign] doesn’t mean that we’re getting new content that’s never been seen before. However, [it] shows that there’s a demand for Tenchi Muyo! content, and that could be the start of a true comeback [. . .]." Well put, Melissa! @comicbook.com comicbook.com/anime/news/9...

Definitely getting noticed!😁 screenrant.com/classic-anim...

Leo Reyna wrote a great article about our Kickstarter on CBR!

FYI: April 27th at 3PM Eastern time, 25 additional slots for the highly coveted Space Pirate Elite tier are going to become available. If you wanted it but missed out initially, or haven't backed yet but are interested, set an alarm! www.kickstarter.com/projects/arm...

Tenchi fandom, you showed up: in under a week, this campaign reached $50,000! We're speechless. Thank you ALL who made this project a reality. We'll be posting an update for backers soon. (And if you're not yet a backer, there's still time to hop aboard this train!) kck.st/3EwQgdZ

34k and we got the Project We Love badge! Thank you @kickstarter.com and thank you to all the backers so far! kck.st/3EwQgdZ

Get your 90's nostalgia fix by picking up @jdcalderon.bsky.social & Matt Lunsford's OFFICIALLY Licensed TENCHI MUYO series, now re-released in a collected omnibus edition by @armigerentertainment.com ! (I did the lettering, btw 😅) PLEDGE NOW: kck.st/3EwQgdZ

Super fun time, and now it's almost 20k! Thanks, everyone! 29 days to go....

To kick things off, we'll be hosting a livestream on the 19th, 3-8PM Eastern on our YouTube channel! Mike, Jon, and Wes will be joined by special guests to talk about the comics, the campaign, and all things Tenchi! See you then! www.youtube.com/@ArmigerEnte...

New review of #camelotandvine #audiobook! “...a wild and circuitous ride...exploring the cost, courage, burden and perhaps the reward of being truthful even in a land of legends and fantasy...a perfect lighthearted escape into wishful thinking...highly recommend!” books2read.com/camelotandvi...

About 500 people have clicked 'Notify me on launch' so... I'm just sayin, certain tiers with limited availability might end up going fast! 👀

Fahrenheit Side 451

Folks, he's been politely offering this idea for YEARS and I'm telling you, please, bring it up at your local convention! Josh puts on a great show, plus he's a frequent guest at many conventions...I mean, it's like peanut butter and chocolate, the combination would be a natural fit.

Save the date! The Kickstarter for the American Tenchi Muyo! Omnibus goes LIVE on April 19th at 12 PM Pacific / 3 PM Eastern! www.kickstarter.com/projects/arm...

Sincerely feels like a @gamechangershow.bsky.social skit.

I say this a lot, but every dollar we raise goes a long way toward making Anime Herald bigger and better. Of our average $517.97 per month last year, about 65% of that went to paying writers and editors a fair rate. (The rest went to infrastructure, tools, and taxes 😅)

Lost in Translation: AI’s Influence on Anime and Manga: Jonny Lobo examines the growing use of AI and Machine Translations in the anime and manga industries. In addition to independent research, he speaks with translators Kim Morrisey, Zack Davisson, and Matthias Hirsh for insights on the matter.

Interesting how this ties into the whole masculinity taken to ridiculous extremes thing that Trump/et al in the grifter manosphere have long used, but has now reached its inevitable endpoint: in all things, there HAS to be a winner and loser. There can't be ANYTHING mutually beneficial.

Hey everybody, sorry for the radio silence! We had to finish assembling our team. Watch this space! We're almost ready to announce the launch date.

Since this is getting noticed...I can't say specifics atm, but if you're interested in this campaign, follow @armigerentertainment.com right here on bluesky! I think there's going to be something announced fairly soon.... 👀(till then, like @bunnycartoon.bsky.social said, get an icy hot patch)

looks like i've been nominated for best English voice performance for Senshi from Delicious in Dungeon, noice
