A lovely story Masako Nozawa (Goku) shared with Mayumi Tanaka (Krillin) and Koichi Yamadera (Beerus):
One February, she got a letter from a father. "My son is ill and won't make it past this month," he wrote. "He loves Dragon Ball, so could you send him an autograph?" [1/4]
Attached to this second letter was an additional note from the doctor. "We did everything we could to prolong his life as much as possible, but we still fell short. Now I understand the power of anime." [4/4]
Yoshino Aoyama (Bocchi) talked about how she fell in love with Bakemonogatari in middle school and would post clips of herself imitating Hitagi Senjogahara's voice on social media. The nice comments she got convinced her to go pro.
There would be no Bocchi without Monogatari!
Nearly three years ago, Kenjiro Tsuda introduced "Orb: On the Movements of the Earth" as a series he'd love to be cast in if it ever got an anime adaptation.
He went on to get the exact role he wanted (Nowak) and give an all-time performance. youtu.be/VTxR7VvLeZ0?fe…
"A miracle happened. My son got to watch the movie. Thank you very, very much."
Although the boy was bedridden, they carried him—bed and all—to a theater because he wanted to be seated for the movie no matter what.
The following day, he passed away at the hospital. [3/4]
Nozawa went one step further and recorded an audio message. "Hey! It's me, Goku! I'll be waiting for you at the theater! Promise me you'll come!"
There was a new Dragon Ball movie scheduled for August that year.
Six months later, the father sent another letter. [2/4]
To celebrate the final episode of "Chi: On the Movements of the Earth," here's some trivia about the original creator, Uoto:
-He was born in 1997
-He was a philosophy major in college
-His favorite manga include Doraemon, Kaiji, Parasyte, Ping Pong, and Ushijima the Loan Shark
Firsthand account of MAPPA and Netflix underpaying animators, in case any doubters are out there. Ippei Ichii was offered ¥3,800 per cut, which is a bottom-of-the-barrel rate for work he values at ¥15,000 minimum.
I watched 10 more videos on his channel. Happy to report that his entire gimmick is pulling off batshit combos with protagonist decks while screaming anime quotes in perfect Japanese. He has 2.4 mil subscribers.
Ain't nobody doing it like him in TCG land. space.bilibili.com/1958342
