by far the funniest thing you can say immediately after winning the NBA finals

for those of you who don’t follow basketball, this guy is the best player in the world right now

#you don’t understand how completely devoted jokic is to racing horses#he’s tried to quit basketball several times to commit full time to his horses#he doesn’t even like playing basketball i don’t think, he’s just stupid good at it#he’s counting down the days until he can retire to move back to serbia and work with his horses#his post retirement plans are becoming a ‘trotting coach’ his words @sayheykid​

#HOW TO DODGE NBA DRAFT

#basketball#I LEARNED THIS LORE I LEARNED THIS LORE#DUE TO OUR STAR WARS CHAT MELTING DOWN INTO ESPN SPORTZONE#so jokic has been giving these vibes for his team’s ENTIRE championship run up to and INCLUDING after the win#at the press conference afterwards (bear in mind he has just won the most PRESTIGIOUS PRIZE in all basketball)#he said to the reporter 'the job is done now we can go home 😐’#and then in the morning presser after someone asked if jokic was excited for the parade#he was like 'parade? when is parade? no no - i need to go home’ and put his head in his hands#AND THEN THE PARADE HAPPENED AND THE TEAM WAS PLIED WITH COPIOUS CHAMPAGNE AND ADORATION OF DENVER POPULACE#jokic got on the mike after several Champagne ™ applications#and said 'HELLO DENVER I KNOW I TOLD I DIDN’T WANT TO STAY ON PARADE BUT I FUCKING WANT TO STAY ON PARADE THIS IS THE BEST’#(yes that is a verbatim quote you can CHECK me on it)#that night the entire team went to a club and jokic got a round of this special plum vodka for the table#it apparently DESTROYED them all bc the next morning one of his teammates did an IG live from his hotel bed#it was super dark and you could see like half the poor dude’s face smushed against the pillow#and he said in the most Sickly and Hungover Voice Imaginable#'i want you all to know…this is nikola’s fault…he did this to me…#i’m never drinking again…it was that serbian shit…nikola did this to me…’ (via @takiki16)

Anime studios need to strike next

Down with seasonal anime down with overconsumption down with every series regardless of how complex needing to be boiled down to fit into 12 episodes

there’s just too many shows

too many shows and they’re coming out at such an unprecedented rate that we can’t even fully appreciate them. and I KNOW that people are slaving away in unethical work conditions to make them, all so that nobody can even remember them, no matter how lovingly crafted or beautiful they really are

here are some numbers from wikipedia that make me want to scream so everyone can see exactly how correct OP is!

in 1983, during the 80s anime bubble, there were 35 anime TV series.

In 1993, the aftermath of the 80s bubble popping, there were 15 anime TV series.

In 2003, during the early days of digipaint (which reduced the workload need to make an anime series), there were 48 anime TV series.

In 2013, there were 143 anime TV series.

In 2023, as of today (July 18), there have been 151 anime TV series premieres, with a further 46 shows set to debut for the fall season.

I’m a big fan of retro anime so trust me when I say that there have always been absolutely hot garbage anime series, but the number of garbage shovelware shows made to be forgotten have increased every year, and even the hit series are virtually forgotten within months as the studios promote the next hot thing that you have to see and watch and buy merchandise for and cosplay before all that gets left behind for yet another new franchise. OP is entirely correct; animation takes tons of effort, and this much animation cannot be made without severe labor abuse.

In 1998, the show “Lost Universe” became notorious for being the first show to have to fix the animation for the home video release; it was considered a colossal failure to the point that particularly bad animation is still sometimes referred to by the name of the most infamously fucked up Lost Universe episode. By 2013, instead of “we’ll fix it for home video” being a horrifying production failure, it became the absolute norm to the point it’s one of the main ways companies market Blu-rays. In the last five years, we’ve had more than one production go so far off the rails that the staff started soliciting extra animators on Twitter. I don’t know enough about the Japanese labor market to say whether or not a strike or union would solve these problems, but this industry is clearly not doing okay in the slightest.
