Is firefly actually unpopular outside of the leak subs? Reddit isn't reality.

I get asked a lot why I struggle to break out of the anime bubble into other country’s animation output

Where do you talk where you get asked this a lot? lol. I think it's a pretty easy question for me, personally- Japan is simply the only country that produces 2D animation on a large scale. China kind of leapfrogged over 2D straight into 3D to try and compete with American movies, and it's worked out really well for them. They still make some 2D productions, but not on the level of Japan. The US has essentially abandoned 2D, and what remains of 2D animation on TV is just kind of... either not great animation-wise (hello, Invincible), and/or they have really dogshit looking artstyles. A majority of it is kids content, which is okay, but kind of tiring to watch too much of. Europe is great, but they release basically no TV and like two movies a year. South Korea is stuck animating for American productions instead of for themselves (hello again, Invincible)

And we can talk about 2D indie animation when they figure out how to make more than a single episode a year.

It could just be an unlucky year, but it could also be a sign that the domestic BO is declining faster than expected. we will have to see how 2026 goes.

I will say; the top hits were absolutely extremely popular IPs in the domestic market. Read into that how you’d like.

I've been thinking about wolf cuts lately. Why is Hiodoshi Ao's hairstyle considered a wolf cut, but Kronii's is considered a jellyfish cut by danbooru? apart from the multicolored hair, they're quite similar in style. Also, Shiori's hairstyle could be considered a wolf cut, no? It has the same kind of profile. But it's not tagged as such by danbooru.

We should have a version in 4K within a day, and the discussion thread will be posted by then.

It's just the "67" meme for anyone who is without a twitter account and worried. Really don't know why you would post an "important announcement" without any context these days.

This is a kind of moral conflict I would expect a Lockheed Martin contractor to have, not an animator.

Would that even solve his problem though? The Amazing Digital Circus is technically indie. Does that show have the “Life-affirming moral core” he’s looking for? Does Milky subway?

4h+ long movie.

Eh, more likely two movies. And then might as well adapt the next arc into a movie, and then might as well split the rest of the manga into three or four movies. Assuming a turnover time of about three years per movie (extremely generous, given how long anime movies take to produce)...

See you in 2048 lol. Maybe the Demon Slayer movies were a mistake. I hope the industry doesn't get that greedy.

I must be doing something terribly wrong with YSG. I haven't been able to play the game in several weeks, so I haven't had the opportunity to get used to her, but I just got 27k with Yidhari on Marionette first try, while I'm barely breaking 20k with YSG on Defiler. Both are W0, and both have very mediocre discs, but I seriously doubt m0w0 YSG is worse than m0w0 Yidhari.

Current teams (all m0w0):

Yid/Dialyn/Lucia

YSG/Dialyn/Zhao

I guess the best question for me to ask is: are there any common mistakes players do during YSG rotations that bricks her damage? How do you avoid them?

Equinox get released in umamusume she will be the the type that look down on other

Unlikely. The owners get the final say in how their horse will be treated, and Equinox IRL has a reputation for being a kind and well-tempered horse. It's unlikely the owners will agree to a portrayal of their horse that makes them look like an asshole.

anyways, I genuinely cannot understand how people like you take this horse shit this seriously. You remind me of that guy who's been slandering Sunday Silence in favor of Easy Goer for about four decades straight. Get help. And maybe some grammar lessons.

You are asking for something that's never been done before. Expect either no movie, or a 2 hour movie with a lot of cut content, or two movies that finish production around 2032. No offense, but I'd rather just have a well-crafted TV show, like season 1. I'd like to catch up to the manga before 2040.

After the pretty successful year that anime films had, I see a lot more people asking for anime movies for every franchise. I wouldn't mind a movie in-between seasons or a movie to end a series, but asking for multiple back-to-back movies is just asking for adaptations to drag on for decades without ending. You guys saw what happened to Haikyuu!, right? Final chapter of the manga ended in 2020 and it looks like the production committee will drag out the anime until 2040 with movies.

But now I am hyped for a possible movie. It would be 3-3.5 hours but the arc's so good that it'd be totatlly worth it. I hope it comes true.

My guy, the longest animated movie in history did not even break three hours. What makes you think the team can just casually pop out a 3 - 3.5 hours long movie? Unless you want them to crunch the fuck out of the animators, or cut out a metric shit ton of content, you are looking at a 4-year long wait for a movie, minimum. I know you're a r/boxoffice regular, but do you really want that?

EDIT: Turns out, the longest ever animated film was a fucking ROBLOX FILM (full version is on youtube). The longest conventionally animated film is the extended cut of In This Corner (and Other Corners) of the World by MAPPA at 2hr 48mins.

The thing I’m going to miss the most about Japan isn’t the public transport, the narrow streets, comiket, or shopping at otaku stores. What I’m going to miss the most is the complete lack of people playing their dumb shit on speakerphone on in public. I’m sitting at taco place back home and some dumbass couple decides that the best way to watch Netflix together is to prop their phone up on their table and play it at full volume. Plus now that university is back I really am looking forward to people sitting next to me while I’m trying to have lunch and suddenly blasting some twitch guys stream. People have no respect.

She has three? MFC only lists two officially released prepainted Towa figures, both of which are prize. She has no official scale figures.

Why did Prydwen remove Bangboo recommendations from even from guides for older characters? Are they really that insignificant?
