With artificial intelligence supercharging manga piracy online, Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs announced it’s developing an AI-backed system to help fight the spread, but is it coming too late? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/19/tech/manga-anime-piracy-ai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #ai #tech #intellectualproperty #copyrights #anime #manga

French animated film “Mars Express” draws inspiration from Japanese classics such as “Ghost in the Shell” and “Akira” for a sharp, cyberpunk ride that feels familiar yet entirely its own. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/01/15/film/mars-express-anime-influence/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #anime #jeremieperin

Tamon's B-Side Episode 1 Impressions
As a K-Pop/J-Pop fan, this show is already starting off hilariously. Love how the Tamon is all manly and confident while on stage and in front of cameras, then IRL he's an overthinking worry wart with zero confidence.
The female lead Utage is hilarious as a fanatic. Love how she sees this side of him and immediately instead of being crushed by seeing his real self, she works to exude her love for him as an idol.
Then when he swaps back after eating her food... ROFLMAO. Could do without the CG concert, but it didn't look terrible.
Love a good rom-com, and this could be one to watch this season.

Today is Monday, I think (I've been in a time vortex) and so it's time for #MoodMusicMonday! Today's mood is "fuck authority!"
You can take that in the conventional meaning of defying/hating authority or the sex way if you really want to. It's whatever you want.
Post a song that reflects the mood, preferably with a link to the song. And remember the hashtag #MoodMusicMonday and to include the mood (you can censor it if you feel that's necessary for your audience or whatever)
