70 year ago Tomoyuki Tanaka first thought a giant monster rise from the sea when he on a plane after failed to make a war film called shadow of glory with a Indonesian. With the news of Lucky Dragon no.5 exposed by radiation fallout he combined the monster on the loose from The Beast from 20,000 Fathom with the horror of atomic bomb they create a monster that spawned the Kaiju Genre. Thank you Tomoyuki Takana,Ishirō Honda,Eiji Tsuburaya, and Akira Ifukube and the past and future of Godzilla crews for giving us the greatest movie monster of all time.
Rare Animated Adaptation of Cat
I found this rare picture in the google search I’m so shock seeing this

Our Country is in worse condition as we speak.we have no president since 2008. Instead our country is run by a corrupt man with no heart. I felt something will happen on the Night of Elections day. The Us People will turn against Donald by killing him as a revenge for the death of their family and love one.I hope that peace will restore and rebuild the country from the corrupt. May you soul stay safe.
Gen Z has a collective hero complex and that’s going result in a massive emotional burnout. Advocating and raising awareness for issues is undoubtedly a good thing, but thinking you are obligated to end or solve every injustice in the world is going devestate your mental health. I don’t want to sound disheartening or pessimistic but signing a few petitions won’t end the humanitarian crisis in Yemen or police brutality. It will of course help reach our goals, but not end it. Thinking the world will change in two month won’t work, this will take generations. Many have felt so burnt out lately and feel guilty about not being able to do more, I admire how empathetic our generation is, but we have to understand that we can’t save everyone. Many others have been in activism and protesting for decade, not just gen z, change takes time. Prioritize advocating and donating in your own communities. Change is slow but it will surely come. Keep your heads up. Think globally, act locally.
Happy 35th Anniversary Dragon Quest. It been a long time since this game is once a Dream JRPG Game into a icon in Japan. Without this series we wouldn’t have Final Fantasy and Pokemon to this day. All I could this is that. Yūji Horii,Kochi Nakamura,Kochi Sugiyama,and Akira Toriyama Thank you for 35 years.
Happy Birthday Terry Bogard
Happy Birthday to The Legendary Hungry Wolf that want to keep his hometown from criminal boss.
He standout from the rest of the Fighting Game Heroes.
He just a good dudes. He not the wandering warrior who travel the world to fight strong opponents.
He not the chosen one waiting for his destiny. He spend time fishing, like to eat hamburger, and play basketball he doing to Southtown.
He seem kinda a guy who help a person move a couch.
Are you ok…..BUSTER WOLF
And also include angsty teen boys who get beat up. Also angsty teen boy get attracted by waifu.
Ok but the man is speaking facts here.
This is why I mostly watch magical girl anime like Precure.
Not all modern anime is like this of course, there’s modern anime that doesn’t do this stuff but it seems like a lot of modern anime you see makes me feel uncomfortable knowing how young and overly sexualized minors are in them and how (usually a girl) that looks like a literal child but is actually in their early 40s to make it seem “okay”. it’s creepy I’m sorry.
On this day 80 years ago Walt Disney released one of the greatest animated film of all time and one of my all time favorite movie. A story of deer learn about the tragic and beauty of the forest meanwhile meet new friend in the like of Thumper,Flower,Friend Owl and Faline. Also this film contains one of most tragic and sadness death scenes in cinema history.
The Death of Bambi Mom is very sad as she is the most kind and nicest mother ever. Her death has a huge impact on everyone including myself as I have experienced with this death.
Wild Fire scenes show what happen if we don’t take care the environment. We ourselves will become he enemy of nature.
Today is a classic film that has effects on us even 80 year after this release
And remember Love is a song that never end.
I felt in joy to hear Dragon Quest Overture,Final Fantasy Theme,A Brave new History,Star Light zone and Monster Hunter thème during the parade of nation at the Tokyo Olympic. I jump and scream in joy to hear the music from my favorite video game series. Amen to Japan.
I would go with Mazinger Z. Since it was the first mecha series to having a cockpit,being pilot by humans and first female character to pilot a giant robot.
What IMO are the most importat/innovative series of the mecha genre:
* Tetsujin 28
* Mazinger Z
* Getter Robo
* Gundam
* Macross
* Evangelion
Not really. Everybody still nice to Jun. She hate her self loathing which is her alter ego Devilman Lady. Kazumi is the only person to help retain Jun’s Humanity. LAN Asuka in this version is a Babylonian God who want to bring a new golden age.
I finished watching devil lady anime
Hot take:
Everybody being mean to Jun, no wholesomeness, Jun constantly suffering, Lan being creepy ass, Akira who's Takeshi now, Kazumi-chan - is all the price, the sacrifice to god we have to pay for something close to devilman universe to have a happy not so bad ending. But the primary theme is still the same: does the end goal justifies the means? Fuck no.
