On Anime

While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.

This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.

On Technical Discussion

While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome.

I finished off the third part of Crisis on Infinite Earths. Much like the other two it was very forgettable.

Feels like the DC animated stuff has taken a huge nosedive in quality a few years ago.

Yeah :( Even the suicide squad anime was such a disappointment..

Yeah it's disappointing. I thought the first one was okay but forgettable (as you said), but the second and third just straight up weren't good imo.

I just caught up on season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen last night.

I wasn’t paying attention to the episode count as I was watching, so the season finale really caught me off guard as the tension climaxed. Can’t wait for a season three announcement date!

I watched Sirocco and the Kingdom of the Winds over the weekend and it's a beautifully made film with stunning art and music. The director was apparently inspired by Miyazaki films and Yellow Submarine and it shows in the fun plot and trippy visuals. Like most great kids films, I'd recommend this to adults as well because of how it deals with themes of family, love, and empathy.

This sounds really really cool, though I'll have to catch it when it's available for streaming because it's not playing anywhere near me

I watched the movie Felidae. I didn’t know what it was about; I had only heard that it wasn’t a kids' movie, and I can definitively attest that it is certainly not a kids' movie. It's pretty good.

I'm just waiting for Terminator Zero to air.

Started to finally watch the Hulu Futurama seasons, as I hadn't done so yet. After getting through the first meta-jokey one about returning again after being canceled again, I really enjoyed the next few ones!

I saw some King of the Hill as a kid but I didn't appreciate how good the cultural commentary in the show was.
