What the fuck are Shogun fans doing on Google man?

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Gundam Wing! This series helped mainstream Japanese animation in the west. If you’re feeling the Rhythm Emotion, check out my essay breaking down this iconic series youtu.be/d2BkBfFAE1M?...

Stumbled into a conversation about the idea of kanji phasing out from Japanese in an increasingly digital world, and it's weebs vs linguists. Now, the important background here is that kanji is used in written Japanese to resolve the large number of homonyms in the language.

Ahh spring

Hottest of Trek takes: I love “Faith of the Heart” and the entire intro sequence of Enterprise.

“He’s never given me a reason not to” that hurts

Success!

Bokurano messed me up. I’ve wanted to do a video on it for ages but I’m not sure I can watch it again

I think Dairanger straight up ripped off the Imperial March…as well as that Darth Vader expy

Won it on my first try!

Remember that ALL of the events of Final Fantasy VII could have been prevented if someone bad just told Sephiroth his mother’s name was like…Kelly or something

What actors portrayed a preexisting character so well that it redefined how the character would be perceived and portrayed from then on? I’ll start

So…I had to read through an executive order last night because I wasn’t 100% sure if this birthright citizenship thing would or wouldn’t affect me. What a time to be alive.

Watching and reading Dragon Ball from the beginning and I love that the people Bulma and Goku get the DBs from are still getting a wish in a way through the help of our two heroes. The idea that we make miracles by helping one another is a really nice message these days!

For a show called Cobra Kai, they seem to really hate Cobra Kai in these later seasons…

Chozen and Amanda are the best adult characters on Cobra Kai. They’re so goddamned funny

Look, I’m not proud of the things I did while back in America…

My haul from stateside

Actually, it's Dr. Ugoretz. 💅✨

Blue Cross rolls back policy change in wake of recent events. The internet:

Finish Final Fantasy VII Remake and ready for Rebirth when I find out it’s not on PC yet…

Obama: Yes, we can! Yoon: Yes, I coup-ld!

Korea Expert here. I’ll explain what’s going on over there because the Orient can be confusing to Westerners. In Korea, there is a concept known as “the law.” (법) This is a set of rules which are enforced to encourage prosocial behavior and ensure stability which leaders aren’t allowed to break.

South Korea declaring martial law and then it almost immediately being shut down by Parliament was not on my 2024 bingo card.

The YT algorithm has once again started recommending me Chess YT and I couldn’t be happier

I think it was a missed opportunity not to build the “My Cousin Vinny Cinematic Universe”. A thriller film following the actual killers called “Rear Wheel Positraction”. A fun little jaunt where that one guy goes on a journey to learn his memaw’s grit recipe. Endless opportunities in the MCVCU

Hey everyone, I have an ask. Earlier this year, I left an extremely toxic work environment due to the effects it was having on my health. Since then, I’ve been slowly building up freelance creative work in the Tokyo area. It’s a bit too slow, though, and I need help rounding up more work, ASAP.

@scriptingjapan.bsky.social Random question! Since you’re a scholar of Japanese written language, do you have a baseline ability in Chinese as well to be able to do etymological looks into the history of whatever kanji you’re working on?

Preach!

As Blue Sky gains a lot of users, we are naturally seeing the level of political discussion rise. Part of the relief of moving off the other app was we could get respite from it and just see fun stuff again. So here’s a throwback song to brighten up your feed and day! youtu.be/X5jlTlUTWfQ?...

Where my FLCL fans at?
