A friend recommended “In This Corner Of The World” and … I feel like I've been run over by a truck. I wasn't ready for this movie but I don't know how I could have been. It's unique.
The story of a young Japanese woman in a small regional city during WWII. That's all I'll say. Unforgettable.

#QuestionOfTheDay you can re-experience a piece of media all over again as if you've never read/watched/etc it before, like you get to experience it for the first time again, what do you choose?

#QuestionOfTheDay What's something (a trope, plot point, character type, twist, technology, magic, decision, conceit of the genre/world, whatever) in fiction that you just can't buy.
i.e. you get that it's fiction, & that it's a thing that happens, or that in the fictional world it's accepted, justified, or explained, or fans love it, etc. It's not that you don't understand it, it's just that you don't buy it, it doesn't work for you, you just can't accept it or take it seriously, etc...
This is a judgement free zone (at least from my end) so if you're like "when space magic shows up I can't take it seriously" or "ppl being able to fly makes no sense to me" etc that's totally fine.

A miss mid 90's videogame and anime magazines.
Good times.

If consuming media was a competitive sports, I’d be in the top ten.
I finished all the Laid-back Camp. And started watching a silly one called “Aharen-San wa Hakerenai”. #anime
The follow-up to “Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway” is demanding, visually captivating and deeply satisfying, especially for fans who know the universe inside out. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/02/05/film/mobile-suit-gundam-hathaway/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #japanesefilm #anime #mobilesuitgundam

With its new exhibition, the cyberpunk anime icon “Ghost in the Shell” creates a feeling of diving into the vast data of the internet like its protagonists do. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/02/04/art/ghost-in-the-shell-exhibition-tokyo/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #art #hostintheshell #masamuneshirow #mamorioshii #kenjikawai #anime
#QuestionOfTheDay who is a character that ruined a work of fiction you were otherwise enjoying and why?
bonus points if you actually stopped watching/playing/reading etc because of this character, so not just like an annoying character you hate but you still kept going

Anime and manga are being increasingly introduced by global companies from McDonald’s to Lego to promote their products and convey their corporate messages, banking on the global appeal of the Japanese art form. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/02/02/companies/anime-manga-promotion/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #anime #manga #amtrak #gucci #mcdonald039s
#Crunchyroll is increasing their monthly subscription fee from $7.99 to $9.99 starting April 2nd.
For a service that's pushing AI generated subtitles, how can they justify the price change?
#QuestionOfTheDay the single greatest scene in any fictional work you've enjoyed (describe it, spoiler tags if necessary, and why you love it)

I saw 'Castle in the sky' recently. Beyond its beauty and solarpunk themes, the movie is a great example of how destitution and anarchism should work: we could have power, but we reject it, we stop any possibility of authority to grow, we fiercely act against hierarchies.
While the villain, Muska, wishes to use the technology and military infrastructure that Laputa holds within its now infinite biodiversity for authoritarian purposes, Sheeta, the anarchist princess ( 
) declines, using power against power, renouncing.
The end of the movie is quite symbolic: the non-human will persist beyond us, the pursue of infinite growth, domination, wars, power, will lead to our demise.

#QuestionOfTheDay what's a piece of fiction that really blew your mind/impacted/changed your perspective/taught you an important value as a child/teen where that impact/perspective/lesson isn't particularly unique or groundbreaking but it was your first encounter with it and it's meaningful to you?
everybody has to have their first encounter with a concept, no matter how obvious/tropey/overplayed etc, at some point in their life. So don't be ashamed if your answer is like "this episode of a cartoon show taught me not to hate ugly people" or something. This is a safe space for sharing. At least I will try my best to keep it as one.
