fully obsessed with this Ult X-Men variant cover by Yuji Kaku

It's 2025, and we're still doing the inscrutable/weird Japan thing? Why does no other country get this level of absurdly ignorant discussion?? Why are these losers so obsessed with mansplaining Japan in particular??? *flips table*

I've translated enough 18+ BL manga to say with confidence: These two are indeed friends.

Bird Wing Hime Cut

nice workaround for a little wordplay from FMA Brotherhood. Ed: うま…うま… Winry: 馬?馬がどうしたのよ? Ed: 産まれるってサテラさんが!

Anime's In the Mood for Love.

Toradora streaming on Abema and they show my favorite scene.

No, that's just a library.

Fantastic! I was curious to check this one out.

Größter Fauxpas? Einen Isekai zu übersetzen.

The Evangelion to classical music/psychology pipeline is so real.

Morning read: Shibuya Near Family Vol. 2 by Kumeta Kōji. I am still not the biggest fan of the Shibuya setting (I think local jokes are cheap). But Kumeta still got it, many great puns and the closest thing we got to Zetsubō-sensei. His art style will never not be a joy to look at.

This is exactly why book prices are fixed by law in most of Europe.

Just finished "Little Witch Academia" (again!). Akko is such a gem!

Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh...

Another incredibly poor NYT article, doing the same for food that they do for politics. Of course food *is* politics, and the NYT helps people ignore the evidence that their choices are making the world worse.

Counter-point: please continue to make these Zone of Interest-cosplay dorks the face of the natalist movement

he’s right and he’s right to say it

Princess Maker 2 Regeneration or LA Noir? Both are on sale on the Switch store.

I'm convinced this music video changed my brain chemistry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBDk...

They suck and aren't useful.

Zetsubō Sensei drinking game: Drink every time Abe is made fun of.

She is literally perfect.

Omg, Zoku Sayonara Zetsubo-sensei is streaming on Abema!

she so pretty I can't focus on her oblivion stream

DROP FUCKING EVERYTHING. PEAK HAS RETURNED. THERE IS NOW A TAROMAN MOVIE. youtu.be/7rUv_zY4p9s?...

Shaman King accurate lore.

This is genuinely so fucking sad. One of the main reasons I love the switch is the ability to own my games and just play them without the need to install anything. I feel so much more connected to video games because of this. I won’t be buying into this game-key bullshit

My disordered translation baby is coming to traumatize you this fall!

Shaman King accurate lore.

Wednesday is an anime.
