I think this also speaks to the North American desire to label anything produced outside of the English speaking world as foreign and different. It sure would be cool if the average English speaker just thought of anime and manga simply as cartoons ✌️
I should add: I don't have a dog in this fight. Call these animated productions whatever you like and I'll know what you mean through context.
Also obviously I do use the term "anime" quite frequently myself.

Wanna know why #Sonic looks so terrible in the Hollywood adaptation? It's because people in positions of power & influence genuinely think the new look is a better, more globally appealing design than the classic Sonic that we know and love. This is a thread on why that's dumb✌️
Throughout my career in videogames and animation in general, I often hear this hoary old chestnut:

"Only Western style art is mass market. Anime and everything else is niche"

It's this out of touch attitude that results in the butchering of something as iconic as Sonic.
Certain forces behind the film (and it's most likely from up top, not from the individual artists--don't go blaming them so fast!) are so arrogant that they believe their arbitrary meddling will result in improvements to classic time tested franchises.

RIP Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto, one of the most talented and explosive fighters to ever step into the ring. He was like a fighting game character come to life, competing at the highest levels of combat sports. He will be missed.

Longtime fans of MMA will recall that during the 2000s Kid Yamamoto was an absolute killer in the ring.
While the stereotype for Asian martial artists is one of stoic honor and discipline, Kid was known for his expolossive athleticism and raw ferocity (as you can see from this flying knee, one of the flashiest KOs of all time)

Found this big bad beetle boi on my porch the other night. It's a Xylotropes Gideon aka Thai fighting beetle (my fav animal)! Looks like our dogs had already found him and roughed him up a bit. He was writhing on his back covered in dirt, but these things are built tough!
I put him in a plastic bin with a longan (we have longan trees in our yard and they're everywhere this time of year). I left the top open so he could leave at any time.
When I checked in the next morning he was still there going to town on the fruit!

(1) Forget the headlines from the lying, leaking, liberal MSM. Read the official statement here:

whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…
(2) The MSM critiques of the President's statement focus on peripheral aspects like his use of exclamation marks. Reflect on that, against the incredibly serious points made about Iran, international terrorism, global oil prices etc.

Which side is talking about what MATTERS?
(3) Every point POTUS made was already known to me, & to you, if you've been following actual events & trends, instead of the MSM spin.

YES the murder of Mr Khashoggi was AWFUL & it is NOT condoned by Trump, the US, or me, or you.

A President must consider the whole picture.

@SauravDatta29 @IndiaSpend Whatever Ambedkar wrote in 1940 is coming true today. We ignored his wise advise of total population transfer. Now, how so much lipstick we put on the pig, Islamic terror at local level is going to be the number one menace grappling this nation.

#American friends, if I lived in your great country, near an outstanding public official like @SecretaryCarson, I'd respond to this #LeftistHarassment by standing silently outside with 🇺🇸 & a #MAGA sign.

"Protesting" can't undo the election. It helps with #WalkAway though.😄
Exhibits A, B, C, and D.

Stay classy, Leftists. #WalkAway
The fed officials the Left is targeting are protected by one or more of the:
>US Secret Service
>Federal Protective Service (DHS)
>The US Marshals (part of the DOJ)
>US Capitol Police
>Other agencies at fed, state & local level
>Private security.

This won't happen>

Donald & Ivanka Trump’s Worst Deal
The President helped build a hotel in Azerbaijan that appears to be a corrupt operation engineered by oligarchs tied to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. newyorker.com/magazine/2017/…
The Trump Tower Baku never opened. Trump partnered with an Azerbaijani family that U.S. officials called notoriously unethical. #Ivanka Iran's Revolutionary Guard
Photograph by Davide Monteleone for The New Yorker
Any guests of the Trump Tower Baku would likely feel marooned.

The timing of the project was also curious. By 2014, when the Trump Organization publicly announced that it was helping to turn the tower into a hotel, a construction boom in Baku had ended,

(1) Religious freedom thread.

"the law [...] doesn't just apply to protect popular religious beliefs: it does perhaps its most important work in protecting unpopular religious beliefs, vindicating this nation's long-held aspiration to serve as a refuge of religious tolerance"
(2) That quote is from Justice Gorsuch and is referenced in a WaPo article: washingtonpost.com/politics/court…
(3) Like the right to keep and bear arms, the right to religious freedom is a part of the US Constitution that promotes your freedom whether you partake of the subject matter or not. A non gun owning, non religious American still needs these protections.

And now I present: a thread based on my love of #science, #scicomm, and #animals, and the fact that I'm a huge #nerd:

The other day at the library, I got this book by Ann Tompert for my 2yo (2/?): amazon.com/Just-Little-Bi…
The premise: an elephant and a mouse want to ride a see-saw. #Physics has other ideas, so some other animals come to help. (3/?)
