KISIDA KYODAN & THE AKEBOSI ROCKETS. Another classic J-rock band I'm unfamiliar with, but their new anisong is really good. Apparently they're iconic for HOTD (another classic series I haven't touched yet x)

After 7 years, Kyoto Animation finally reveals the first teaser of their upcoming drama anime Sparks of Tomorrow (Nijusseiki Denki Mokuroku: Eureka Evrika or 20th Century Electricity Catalog);

High On Life v58 Ain't Letting You Down with Saksham is out now! New EP ORIGO is out now;

Japanese rock band BAND-MAID releases their new EP, titled SCOOOOOP:

It's confirmed. We're going cheep again by recycling a former artist...

Are we still having two more contests this year? (Just want to make sure)

To think that my confidence in Moskau was only beaten by a tiebreaker! I was completely sure @gooddelta was behind it because of the Schlager CD, but @jimwatts had some good taste here! Congratulations, @Dobbo! I ranked your song 16th, but this contest is brutally tougher than I expected. Thanks @danG for the hosting!

The situation with OPM keeps getting even worse — JC Staff's Shinpei Nagai, the director airing for S3, has deleted his X (Twitter) account after facing backlash from both Japanese and overseas fans. To be fair, the criticism should've been directed more toward Bandai, the licensor for not investing seriously in the franchise. While I disagree with the idea where "Anime X doesn't deserve better production than Anime Y," it actually is disappointing that Bandai (through the sub-division Sunrise) manages to give a random, obscure isekai title (My Status as an Asssassin...) far better production quality.

sorry for the lateness. Votes are in now

I'm confident my +12 will win :D

sorry for the lateness. I promise the vote arrives before midday 🙏

Adoring how stacked #92 was when I checked its entries beyond Gareth Emery — Reol, HONNE, Age of Love, Troll (surprisingly fun!), and LiSA 🔥

From the author of the manga Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, Uoto's other work "100m (Hyakuemu.)" is getting an anime movie adaptation. There's no release date for UK theaters yet, but it will premiere first at Scotland Loves Animation on November 1st. The trailer looks festival-esque, similar to Fujimoto's Look Back last year (and nowhere near the shounen trope x), so please give it a chance, too, like all the Ghibli & Shinkai works.

the Yellow Claw album that featured Love and War is still fantastic up till this day; it was one of the albums that led me to broader dance/EDM subgenres.

My clock says it's Cor Lupus time.

Judging from the score on MAL, apparently studio Madhouse fell off once again after being the GOAT for adapting Frieren, Orb, and Trillion Game (by the Dr. Stone author; haven't watched though). Wandance certainly struggles with 3D-CGI; a hardcore Overlord content creator was disappointed with its new spin-off movie; and I wasn't sure what happened to Dinner Table Detective (didn't watch this, too). Hopefully it won't affect their next three anime, which are all promising: Frieren S2, Liar Game, and One Hundred Views of Awajima

Moonlight w/ Elley Duhé is out this Friday;

Gotta admit I haven't even started Gintama yet but HOLY MOTHER LONGMAN performed the ending theme of the new Ginpachi-sensei spinoff?!
