On Anime

While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.

This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.

On Technical Discussion

While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

I'm watching so many things at the same time, so it won't really vary from week to week:

  • Dandadan - watching weekly. The band's bassist looks like he patterned after Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath.
  • The Summer Hikaru Died - watching weekly. They're really taking time with the pace. I'm not complaining, but hopefully the conclusion is satisfying. It's gonna be infuriating if it ends on a cliffhanger for a next season.
  • Ayakashi - as an introduction to the Medicine Seller in Mononoke.
  • Mononoke
  • Berserk - just finished the latest version. The animation is great, but it feels like they purposely skipped all the important parts and focused on the wrong things instead. I didn't read the manga but since I had to look it up after watching the 13-episode show, that's where I finally understood the motivations of the characters; because the show didn't explore it much.
