While at @animazement.bsky.social, I spoke with the fine folks of Animator Supporters about their efforts to help new talent navigate the industry in the face of low pay and toxic working conditions.

If you compare the anime industry to a historical document, Masao Maruyama has been around since ink was first put to parchment—or, in his case, paint to celluloid.
