Generative AI is an affront to humanity.

I saw a post on another platform excitedly sharing a photo of the pirated print edition of The Apothecary Diaries light novels. As someone who works on the real English print versions, it made me so sad. If you like something, please make sure you support the official release.

Didn't expect to find out today that I have something in common with Michael B. Jordan.

Adults are allowed to have fun. Play video games. Read sci-fi and fantasy. Watch horror movies. Buy superhero comic books. And if anyone tells you otherwise, tell them to grow up.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

ANNOUCEMENT: Kodama is officially adopting the Handmade label and committing to a clear Human-Made production standard. We do not use generative AI in translation, lettering, editing, design, or creative content. Every Kodama book is translated, edited, and lettered by human professionals credited accordingly. We will be formalizing this with our partners in the coming weeks! Kodama is made by people, for people.

Happy 30th birthday, Pokémon! You've made all our lives a little bit more fun. I could go on, but for now, here's a picture from November of the Pokémon manhole cover at the Nintendo Museum. And, yes, I wore an Eeveelution sweatshirt today.

This looks AI-generated. Given that Level 5 has openly admitted to AI use, it’s a damn shame that a company which once produced some of the most charming games ever with gorgeous hand drawn artwork is resorting to these cheap shortcuts. Pains me as a Professor Layton fan.

I truly believe that if everyone committed to reading a book for just an hour a day, we could heal ourselves and the world.

I need everyone to get better standards. You shouldn’t be reading books penned by AI. You shouldn’t be watching brain-rotting videos. We need to consume quality things, made by human beings. A world where everyone is addicted to slop is a bleak, dystopian place.

The Olympics have bastardized the work of Tatsuya Tanaka in order to make cheap knock-offs and terrible graphics. Instead of hiring him, they were "inspired" by his work and made slop. This is the fate of originality in art with AI. "In the style of Tatsuya Tanaka"

Here are many of the projects I've worked on that released in 2025. The list includes Wash It All Away, A Man and His Cat, Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick, The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses, Just Like Mona Lisa, Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, and Apothecary Diaries.

Kodansha announced they released all 26 episodes of Mushishi Season 1 to watch for free on their Youtube Channel (Availability limited to English Speaking Countries) English Sub youtube.com/watch?v=SvsAOf… English Dub youtube.com/watch?v=oXpgvk…

Let this year be the year you read again. Literacy is alarmingly low. Times are dark. We need books now more than any of us probably has in our lifetime. Do yourself, and ultimately society, a favor. Pick up a book.
