Mamoru Hosoda’s “Scarlet” shows what hybrid animation can do: fluid battles, detailed facial expressions and a Shakespearean narrative painted on vast digital landscapes. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/11/20/film/scarlet/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #japanesefilm #anime #mamoruhosoda #manaashida #masachikaichimura #kojiyakusho #masakiokada

"Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Party Tried to Kill Me, But Thanks to an Infinite Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends and Am Out For Revenge"
That's cool, but have you tried to focus on a single page of text for more than 5 seconds?
Fortunately her outbursts were funny enough to distract me from overall low quality of the ep.
Mizuki got probably the worst, the stair scene and Genos new body were also to cry for.
Tatsumaki being both insufferable and adorable at the same time
NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE | TEASER TRAILER
I'm so glad I've started watching Yano-Kun's Ordinary Days. It's got some very pretty animation and it's reaally fun show. The first episode was a really poor introduction to the series and made it appear quite flat, which it's not. Also I really loved this scene, it reminded of me and my buddies in high-school. (cw for spoilers of episode 6)
I wanna take this moment to clarify that there are staggeringly few reasons I'll watch a subbed #anime under any circumstances.
English dub or don't bother recommending it.
Thank you

Garou keeps aura farming. Easily the best character. Looks like Saitama became a guest star so far :t_blink:
