TEASER VISUAL for TV Anime "Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You" (Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari)—Animation Studio: Asahi Production Broadcasting scheduled for July 2026.

Appalachia was not abandoned because of progress. Appalachia was abandoned because we stopped being profitable to exploit. The moment the profit margins dipped, the corporations packed their bags. And instead of reinvesting in new industries or building a real future for our people, they walked out and left us holding the bill. And our politicians, Republican and Democrat alike, just shrugged and let the market decide whether our towns lived or died. To them, Appalachia was only worth something as long as our labor was cheap and our land was easy to tear apart. When the coal markets crashed, they did not step in to save the miners. They cut checks to the companies. When opioids tore through our communities, they did not hold the pharmaceutical giants accountable. They threw our people in jail. When our schools, hospitals, and infrastructure crumbled, they did not show up with resources. They showed up with lectures about “self reliance.” But here is what they never understood: self reliance is something we have always had. We have been feeding our neighbors, raising each others kids, hauling each other out of floods, and surviving what most places would not. Self reliance was never the issue. What we have lacked, what they have denied us, is power. And that is why we fight. Because this region deserves more than abandonment disguised as progress. We deserve the power to build our own future.
