A new addition to the Anime Home Video Museum. It's an episode of Honey, Honey on Sony's Video8 tape format. Wild that these even exist!

thinking back to the time I covered fidget spinners for Big Review Site and I had to get on a video call with like 12 full-time editors who all peppered me with questions and comments about how I should write it. I did hours and hours of research and testing all for $500. for fidget spinners

kendrick's music video for not like us over 16M views in the last 20 hours... wild... unlike drake dealing with just under 16F views on his latest video

give that film a 100 million dollar budget instead of the next superhero installment.

I assume they're' some kind of "The Producers" situation, though their weird, uncanny valley, CG backgrounds are, in some shows, very accurate love letters to the areas they're set in (this peaked W'z perfectly capturing Americamura/Dendentown/Dotonburi during Halloween season,) so maybe that helps?
Avatar
I mean, for me personally, W'z was a turning point because I had literally just been in those neighborhoods during Halloween & with that context grounding the rest of their surreal if not visceral choices, the possibility arose in my mind that they are sincerely some kind of weird, outsider artists.
Avatar
Like, the second W'z featured a pan of the Animate building in Dendentown & it specifically cuts off before it shows the billboard for Handshakers that was up there at the time, someone there is too clever. They are screwing with viewers in an full-on "if you know, you know"-fashion.

Watching the trailer, and yeah, GoHands continues to pursue an aesthetic where the best shots are somehow always the least ambitious, and again, with such an aggressive consistency to that inversion that it's undeniably by design. They will never change beyond avoiding their worst camera movements.
I felt like I was having keys dangled in my face while multicolored bleach was poured into my eyes.

That said, knowing that about GoHands, I kind of respect theit commitment to their production flow & design choices. They continually refine their often off-putting, nauseating & migraine-inducing look & so long as they never adapt something I'd want better for, then let 'em cook. It's fascinating.
Avatar
Like, there's probably an essay or even a documentary in the bizarre case of GoHands. I can think of no other animation studio on Earth with such an aggressively identifiable look where that look is off-putting to the point I'd call them the 100gecs of anime or the Japanese Paper Rad.

Big "what's wrong with your face???"-issues too. Like, no other Miku gotta face like that.

It's beyond wild that it's officially licensed. It's worse than anything I've seen on Temu or AliEx.

Like, you'd think it'd get old watching Drake get walloped on repeat like it's Groundhog Day, but yet, no. Pride goes before the fall & there was a long decade of pride that somehow only got worse after the first time it was checked by Pusha T, so yeah, gonna be a while before this loses its charm.

"Not Like Us (Campaign Remix)" could be the most brutal or corny thing ever, but it would make the right people furious either way probably, so...

Drake should just be thankful this didn't drop on Canada Day with a back to back with the rumored West Coast Remix today. If the latter exists, it must've been held back for Labor Day and/or an album rollout.
