Anime blog of Johanna, an adult watching too many cartoons. Fan of Masaaki Yuasa, Satoshi Kon, Kunihiko Ikuhara, and whatever weird stuff catches my eye. Sorry about all the Yuri!!! on Ice. Non-anime posts are on my main blog, breakityourself.
This might get taken down at some point but here you are, fellow fans, if the other website didn’t work for you or you want to maybe make gifs and whatnot!
It’s the Whitney, a museum in New York focused on 20th/21st century American art. They had an exhibit about how technology influences cinema so I guess that means MMDs? I didn’t film it but there was other weird anime stuff like what might have been a Lucky Star character with a gif from the movie Clueless superimposed over it.
Cool choreography in this rotoscoped OP. I want to gif it all but there’s text in the corner 😞
The Golden Kamuy anime gets pretty bogged down by lackluster production values, but I remembered this scene when I was on a plane yesterday and laughed out loud in public so the anime did something right.
Today in Johanna judges anime geography: Ash and Eiji are obviously on the Staten Island ferry which everyone knows is best way to see the Statue of Liberty (my hot tip - stand at the West end of the Smith-9th St. subway station platform in Gowanus and you’ll get nice skyline views + Statue of Liberty). However, Ash tells Eiji they have to turn back and Eiji asks about their plans to go to Long Island, implying that the boat they were on was in fact headed for Long Island. There is no Manhattan to Long Island ferry! There’s ferry service within the 5 boroughs of NYC and Brooklyn and Queens are technically part of Long Island if you want to be pedantic, but no one tends to acknowledge that fact in their everyday lives.
And there’s plenty of ferry service on Long Island too, you can get to Bridgeport and New London in Connecticut via ferry. There’s also the Greenport ferry that will take you out to Shelter Island and multiple South Shore towns have service to Fire Island. But the lesson of the story is that you’re not getting from Manhattan to Long Island on a boat unless you own a boat and are sailing it yourself.
