Japanese pundits coined the term "Galapagos syndrome" to express how their country lost its role as global consumer electronics innovator. But in a world driven mad by tech disruption, is Japan’s having fallen behind turning into a secret super power?

Hey, y'all should read this because it's very good. Marcille did an amazing job on the piece, and @ellyberries.bsky.social was a fantastic editor for it.

Anime Herald @animeherald.com · 5d

Hi everyone, it's new article day. 🥰

This week, we have a piece by Marcille Donato that explores the story of the real-life Oguri Cap, her role in Japanese horse racing, and how that's reflected in Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray. It's a fantastic read and we hope you enjoy it!

#history #umamusume

The Real Cinderella Story of Oguri Cap and Japanese Horse Racing

There very likely won’t be another horse like Oguri Cap, at least perhaps not until horse racing once again needs a star to rescue it from obscurity. And even when horse racing needs a new hero, they still won’t be Oguri Cap, because each star of a generation has been truly unique, like all horses are.

We love Emanon! It was such an enjoyable manga. We’ve even got the extra big French edition of volume 1. We have vague memories that Wandering Island 1 is due for a reprint? We went on an eBay binge to get all the volumes of Spirit of Wonder.

And, I thought my San Francisco was unusual.
If you were in London yesterday, you might have seen Hello Kitty (who was born in London) walking w Hoshoryu and Onosato.

Hello Kitty and Hoshoryu met in Tokyo last month where he couldn't help but compliment her on her kimono.
The yokozuna is sauve!

If you need a spark in your day, I recommend spending some time with @patriciajaydee.bsky.social 's skyline. It is a bunch of sumo gadding about town in London, and every post is a delight.

I was an English major. I read regularly. Only two authors have ever made me laugh out loud: Kurt Vonnegut and Tomihiko Morimi.

If you have never read Morimi and want to laugh your butt off, I cannot recommend his work highly enough.

The cover for Tomihiko Morimi's The Tatami Galaxy, which features a collage of characters and elements from the story.

It came with a Lenovo Tab M8 mini tablet, a heated mug, & a plush blanket, which my cats cant wait to deposit their fur on. 😃
