The latest episode of Mahou Shoujo Ore is in line with the irreverent tone of the series, but it's basically a standalone scathing critique of the state of the anime industry. It's actually ruthless.
It goes all the way putting the whole industry on blast & Pierrot (Plus) in particular - the whole thing is about rushing an episode to calm down one of their production supervisors so that it doesn't rampage and destroy all of anime.
In theory you couldn't pull this off unsupervised, but the director (who's also the sole writer, main storyboarder, pretty much the anime's father) deleted his account just today before it aired so you have to wonder...

But hey it's fiction.

Probably.

Can you imagine if there were multiple reports of unpaid work - especially exploiting the vulnerable position of overseas workers - AND of consistently inhuman working schedules for production assistants for the same major anime studio, just a couple days from each other.

Wait.
The latter's a well-documented tragedy for the industry as a whole, but I'm wondering if I should put together a list of anime studios with... dodgy payment records, let's say. I've heard enough private reports & others from trustworthy creators to shame a bunch of studios.
Anonymity would be required of course. The reason these don't get openly reported all that often is because no one wants to be perceived as a troublesome worker, as immensely fucked up as that is. When specifics are made public the sources tend to be veterans allowed not to care.

The special cut with Popuko & Pipimi blowing up the building of the series' publisher Takeshobo needed the best treatment possible, so they got Naoki Yoshibe aka yotube to direct/animate/paint the sequence, since he's the strongest FX animator affiliated with the studio.
It was always his target (lol)
The effects morphing into faces is a gimmick he's used before but it's perfect with these cursed kids.

Out today! My new, chart-rich paper on trade, globalization & US public opinion:
cato.org/publications/f…
So now a thread on why I wrote this paper - the data for which were surprisingly difficult to gather (thanks, @pewresearch, @Gallup, @ChicagoCouncil, etc for the help!) - and what it reveals /2
The malleability of US public opinion on trade is something I first noticed years ago (and briefly discussed in this paper from 2011: cato.org/publications/f…). Trade polls have long fluctuated depending on politics, rhetoric & the economy. /3

Latest episode of so-called “alt-lite” e-celebs demonstrating what shameless, disingenuous parasites they are (THREAD)
(2) About a month ago, QFD censorship went into effect and crippled right wing Twitter.

A group of ordinary people in the dissident right and the MAGA movement came together, put aside our differences, and started a petition against it.
petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/call-…
(3) We pushed this petition relentlessly under
#StopTheBias
and reached out to everyone we could think of to help break the blockade of QFD censorship.

Ordinary Trump voters stepped up and helped out enormously. But none of the various e-celebs we contacted lifted a finger.

#Series ¡Me gustó la música de #Versailles! He terminado las dos primeras temporadas de esta ambiciosa serie de #ficciónhistórica disponible en @NetflixLAT, y ya espero la tercera y última temporada. En este hilo compartiré una apreciación personal del #Score y del #Soundtrack.
En primer lugar va la intro, es tan poderosa, que no usé en ningún episodio la opción de saltar intro o adelantarla. Es un tema compuesto por los franceses @M83 llamado #Outro. Se puede escuchar en @Spotify - @SpotifyColombia :

O si prefieren en @YouTube.

Should I ramble about Yoshida Shin, or at least what he's done? 🤔
I'll take Qu and Siliva's likes as a Yes. Okay, let's see.
This is Yoshida Shin himself. Pretty average guy. Pretty unsuspecting. Can't talk much on his early work, as it goes back to some really generic 90s anime.

There are a lot of prominent people, who claim to be principled anti-war activists, who led us to believe that Hillary was the *real* threat, that should be absolutely ashamed to show their faces right now. Yet they're all pretending like it never happened.
None of this is surprising if you were paying attention & weren't looking to confirm your biases that #actually Trump might not be so bad (not as bad as Killary). Most of us saw the threat in real time & called it out. It wasn't subtle.
It's just so incredibly frustrating bc it was all so predictable. You demanded that every journalist & pundit who predicted the election results incorrectly be disgraced; yet this was infinitely more consequential. And yet, you've taken zero responsibility for your actions.

So I have a ton of series I’m behind on, and many more I haven’t even started. BUT, I also have this. I’m gonna do a rewatch thread instead~ I’ve seen this show many times, but the last time I got all the way through it was probably more than a decade ago. So let’s do this! 🦄
First, to set the mood: The opening. a classic. Admire Miki's floofy clothes~
Admire Miki's willingness to shill the official MB goods right away in the OP
