All of the production crew finale art of GQuuuuuuX, while lovely, don't hold a candle to Hajime no Ippo mangaka George Morikawa's celebratory illustration of Chalia Bull.

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

Del Rey really made a go, down to the graphic design, of trying to get their Robotech readers hooked on the pure stuff from Japan, but it didn't really take. (It's been years since I flipped thru their editions so I'd forgotten they call the series "Gundam Mobile Suit" -- yes, in that order.)

The same way a lot of people didn't realize how big the QAnon problem was until those fuckers literally stormed the capital, I fear we're a year or two away from a shocking discovery of just how many "seemingly normal" people have lost their minds "talking" with ChatGPT.

This rules for a lot of reasons, but especially because it dispels the myths that A.) old games were never political and B.) games like this are just stories, they aren't "about" anything. Should serve as a reminder to anyone writing about games why we should be close reading 'em.

we desperately need fans to: A. know that AI localization will absolutely ruin their favorite manga, anime, games, and books B. fan outrage over AI use is one of the best and only ways we can fight back. most loc professionals are freelance. we're not union. we have no power. Fans must speak up.

My favorite example of this comes from over a century ago when the Self-Playing Piano industry argued that if they had to pay royalties on the hit songs they were programming their machines to play, they would go under. This really is a second verse same as the first situation.

No, say it louder. It's absolute bullshit how Across the Spider-Verse made over $300 million in profit, yet neither Marvel nor Sony could be bothered to defray the hospital bills of the man who co-created Miguel O'Hara. Instead they left his wife and family scrambling to afford to live.

That's just not true. GameStop was originally Babbage's (1980), a (new) software retailer that mostly pivoted to selling video games with the rise of the Atari In 1999, it launched the GameStop brand to focus entirely on games and allow people to order games from its website

Outside of the fantastic OP, my abiding memory of Lain is the October 1999 interview with American anime magazine Animerica where original concept creator/producer Yasunori Ueda could not even conceptualize Americans ever connecting with the show.

A history lesson Anime club programs started in the '90s, as a way to: 1. Build goodwill 2. Create new customers 3. Generate catalog interest 4. Mitigate piracy Having legal access to anime reduced the need for tape trades. This feels like a bean counter saw a line item and said "Fuck them kids"

The big reveal is that this - what you’re seeing right now - is in fact exactly how businesses are run; chaotically and at the whims of sociopaths who think they know everything, actually know nothing, and run away with a golden parachute to leave others to clean up their mess.

Diebuster was one of the late examples of the sequel that goes in a wildly different direction, changing virtually everything. Think Orguss 02, Macross II, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy Legend of the Crystals. In an age where reboots and multiverses are mainstream, these have fallen out of style
