    I’m proud to announce my first book ‘Weirdo’ being published by @01FirstSecond and illustrated by @JesnCin. In a world that doesn’t value black lives, I feel a responsibility to create stories that show just how spectacular and magical they are. forbes.com/sites/robsalko…

    Yall aren’t talking about this enough. A small Nigerian group of creators with a few kickstarters and some webcomics under their belt somehow secured a PARTNERSHIP with the largest entertainment company in the world!? THATS more newsworthy than anything else in the announcement

    Akira Toriyama got into manga hoping to make a quick buck in a competition. But when his first published story was voted the worst in a reader survey, he took that personally, and said he wouldn't stop until he wrote a hit. Over 10 stories later we got Dragon Ball. NEVER QUIT

    I hate when people say characters of color are hard to relate to. Statistically there are more children’s books about cars and animals than about kids of color. If you can relate to Lightning McQueen you BETTER learn to relate to me or KA-CHOW your way into therapy.

    Guess who just went from being made fun of for his voice to signing with the agency of his favorite voice actors. Happy to join the CESD family!

    A beloved mangaka died. And in the wake of his passing. His "fans" declared that they knew his work better than him, and decided to create the adaptation fans "deserve." That don't sound a lil disrespectful to ya'll?

    Networks saw firsthand what could happen when you let your creatives create and decided to NEVER DO THAT AGAIN

    Everybody talking about how one anime episode only takes $80k to produce is dramatically ignoring the terrible working conditions and borderline human rights violations that happen to enable that price point. This video has a lot of info.

    How can you watch over 100 episodes of an anime and still miss the point?
