Just got this link from my old friend Robert Fenelon, one of anime fandom's greatest historians. As he says, the early dates linked to images are a bit off (he's in them so he knows) but the overall story arc and conclusion is spot on. Brilliant.

One thing someone lost culturally on this book is that Shigeru Mizuki is MASSIVELY famous in Japan. On a scale unimaginable.
It would be like say... Jack Kirby writing a memoir of serving in WWII. You would WANT those personal stories alongside the larger historical perspective.

Showa 1926-1939 by Shigeru Mizuki.
At first I wasn't really sold on the juxtaposition between the personal and national. It seems to make slight of the events. But as the book progressed the more I found myself admiring the ability to position 'normal' life alongside the grand sweep of history.

NHK is a treasure trove of anime, manga and general cultural interviews and documentaries. It should be on every researcher's watchlist but it has a lot to offer all fans. Honestly, if we'd had access to this fifty years ago there'd be a wider range of anime books in English now.
A special TV report on the late Osamu Dezaki will air this Saturday in Japan on NHK (as part of the "I Want to Meet That Person" program).

#StandAloneComplex is one of the finest and most complete #anime series ever made. 52 fantastic episodes. Some are stand alone and others part of the complex #LaughingMan and #IndividualEleven narrative. The best thing Kamiyama-sensei has ever produced. Also the only anime owned by #Lionsgate!

As a Matsumoto Leiji fan, there are things you must accept.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Earlier this week I found out my friend John Staton had passed away. I hadn't talked to him in years unfortunately but he was a big part of a foundational part of my life. Here's what I wrote over on FB with 2 pics from the June 2013 signing of his EMPOWERED oneshot with @adamwarren.bsky.social.

What's Doraemon's count? Pretty sure it beats Conan as well
Just read someone lauding Detective Conan's 30 years on Nippon TV as the longest running anime TV series, and had to mention Sazae-san, airing on Sundays since 1969. It isn't constantly mentioned in English language sources but that doesn't change history.
