"AI relies on compute — nanoscopic silicon wafers with tens of billions of transistors. 90% of the world’s most advanced semiconductors are fabricated in one place — TSMC.(...) In the science fiction novel 'Dune', 'spice' is the most important resource in the universe; in an AI economy, compute is the new spice. Somehow, this tiny tropical island has become Arrakis, sitting on the first faultline of the future — compute."

Yamamura Kōji on anime vs animation:

"What is animation?
I'd like to call what I make not 'anime' , but 'animation'.
In Japan, the term 'anime' has become prevalent, but first I'd like to provide an explanation of the difference between 'anime' and 'animation'.
"Animation began to be called '動画' (dōga) when production started in Japan, and in the '50s, it became known as 'アニメーション' (animation). However, at some point, it transitioned to the abbreviated term 'アニメ' (anime)."

Small-circulation, self-published works known as zines are quietly gaining traction in Japan, as a growing number of writers and artists are moving away from showcasing their creations on social media. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/08/10/japan/media/zine-culture-publishing/?utm_content=buffer0f4a1&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #media #publishing #magazines #zines

"Film archives are fast spreading around the world, and with them issues surrounding archival digitisation, artistic appropriation, and academic reinterpretation of film material that demand scholarly attention. This volume aims to fill this demand with a thought-provoking collection of original articles contributed by renowned scholars, archivists, and artists"

since the Barbie movie is upon us...
in 1990 Licca chan, the Japanese answer to Barbie launched by Takara/Takara Tomi in 1967, had a OVA directed by Mochizuki Tomomi (Ocean Waves, Twilight Q), リカちゃん ふしぎな不思議なユーニア物語...an homage of sorts to Alice in Wonderland...

no promotion for the new movie by Miyazaki Hayao, as we all know, but in recent years we had the Ghibli Park and and incredible amount of Ghibli or Ghibli-related exhibitions around Japan (not only in Tokyo), so this pervasive presence of Miyazaki and Ghibli "things" and discourse in the everyday life might function as a sort of promotion of sorts...
