Hi. My little buddy Baxter invited me to share some space on his blog and I wrote an overwrought emotional essay about my favorite Japanese media experience of 2025. Lots of good writing and fun perspectives in here. His site is one of my favorite things going, so I was happy to contribute. 💜

It's finally happened! I've moved out of my small hometown and am in The Big City. Look forward to a year of much more consistent releases as things finally become Normal for me. This month we'll start rolling out the Oops All Movies minisodes and by next month The Special itself should be out.
