Do not follow me on Twitter if you don't want to see venting/ranting about politics as I absolutely hate the duopoly (red and blue). Neither political party cares about actually helping poor people. For a more positive feed with less politics, follow me where the sky is blue.

Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: https://t.co/uwcDp6AhEU

Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc almost a week out still has very few pre-sales, yeesh. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle did quite well for us, as well as Jujutsu Kaisen 0 3.5 years ago, so I was hoping to see it do well and uh... My hours will remain low with low attendance like this.

Halloween weekend is going to be particularly bad this year. When Halloween falls on the weekend, the studios avoid it like the plague because they fear nothing can make money as people are out partying and trick-or-treating. Only thing coming out on Halloween is Bugonia...

We had to rely on Snow White bombing to do decent business. Snow White did far better for us than Tron: Ares. We sold the merch faster for that than for Tron, and we never sold out of all of that merch... https://t.co/v6vaEG3zwX

Tron: Ares struggled, the highest a single show got up to on Friday night was around 60. 549 tickets sold for the entire day, Tron was less than half of that. This is the worst October I've ever worked, and I thought March 2025 was bad, which reminded me of July 2014.

And my 10/31/2025 paycheck is going to have only 17 hours on it... Happy Halloween? It hasn't been remotely busy since the second weekends of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale* and Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle a month ago... *Seniors are one of our most reliable demographics.
Have I time traveled back to my senior year of high school? I haven't seen hours this low since I was 18, 13 years ago, and was working 2-3 days a week only on the weekends. I didn't regularly get weekday hours on school days until 2018, but it was very rarely this bad...

Anyone who hasn't seen The Vision of Escaflowne is definitely missing out. It would also show people what isekai shows used to be like. The concept is nothing new, but it manages to feel so unique and special, it just can't easily be replicated. https://t.co/EnZMKkK24b

Willing to bet my co-workers at the movie theater that are into anime who are in their teens to early 20s have never heard of it. Had one not know of it when I mentioned it's my all-time favorite anime, though they somehow had never heard of Gurren Lagann nor Code Geass as well.

I do feel though that the popularity Escaflowne once had is fading though. Newer fans are still aware of very old shows like Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis Evangelion, but how many have even heard of Escaflowne? It doesn't help the show is no longer streaming on on Crunchyroll.

I also watched the Inside Look extra FUNimation produced because of the new dub despite the fact I still haven't watched the FUNimation dub yet. Everyone echoed similar sentiments, though they dropped spoilers, so if you haven't seen the show before, watch that extra afterward.

It's probably going to forever remain my all-time favorite anime no matter how many times I view it.

This is the slowest rate I've seen the show, and I'm now 12 episodes into said rewatch. It's still maintaining its status as my all-time favorite anime, all of the elements come together so nicely, combined with the fantastic animation and god-tier OST. https://t.co/qyaWgT7llF

I slowed down the rate of stuff I watched stuff on Blu-ray & DVD years ago it's now 2 episodes at a time, 4 episodes a week, a pace I'm happy with. This is what I'm currently doing for The Vision of Escaflowne on my long overdue first subbed viewing of the Director's Cut version.

I watched 8 episodes in a row the first day, 10 the second, then 8 the third. The cliffhangers, the impact it had, I could just not stop watching it. To this day, excluding that 2016 rewatch, that's the fastest I've ever seen a 2-cour show.

The very first time I watched The Vision of Escaflowne was in late 2012 when at the time when I was watching stuff via Blu-ray and DVD, it would be at the rate of 4 episodes at a time or 16 in a week. I broke that with Escaflowne because of how much I quickly got into it.

Watching it in one single sitting can be rough. Only time I've ever done that for a 2-cour show. I'm not much of a marthoner, I tend to watch most catalog stuff at the rate of 1-2 episodes at a time, and 4 episodes a week.

As I'm getting through my The Vision of Escaflowne rewatch, a few days ago I finally got around to watching the Club Escaflowne extras for the first time, and uh, I actually did this 9 years ago. I don't plan on doing it again though. https://t.co/nZ5zg9sQyd

Is this the first time GKIDS has been on a production committee? They were credited that way in both the English ending credits subtitles, and on the JP Wikipedia with a source from an AnimeAnime article. https://t.co/okeRA7Gym6

Credit where it's due: rallying 10 million people is an incredible organizational achievement. But if those 10 million people march, make their grievances known and Trump ignores them all the same, what was actually accomplished? Nothing. You've proven that you can mobilize
The second “No Kings” protest is set to take place nationwide on October 18, in opposition to Donald Trump and his administration. Organizers anticipate over 10 million participants, which would make it one of the largest protests in American history.
