I have nothing to say about Manga and Anime, I was looking up YouTubers today and I saw how many with millions of subscribers have been posting for more than a decade. Obviously I have nothing to add. I’m in it entirely for myself. But ironically, the very impersonal, pseudo-buddhist bliss of Japanese entertainment, that joy of belonging that it always brings (even when it’s pornographic) makes me feel I could just generate something, although I’ll have to follow the quest until the end to do it. It’s so nice to have so many titles to choose from, all of them in that quaint, safe anime-space, so similar to gamer-space, so antithetical to Hollywood whore-space. I can even use AI image generators to illustrate my own ideas, so much easier than getting them to create photorealistic pictures of imaginary people. So I’m doing the Tokyo Drift for real now. My spirit guides and all the characters they play are changing. I’m progressing toward the womblike Existence-Knowledge-Bliss-Absolute.

What do I have to say to fans? To anyone interested in this subject? Nothing yet but I did keep my progress, I have extended my project through a sophomore post, I have begun collecting magical energy around it.

But what is magical energy? What is it when it’s in your imagination, in the existence-knowlege-bliss of immersion in the multivalent coziness of anime, and what is it when it hits the cold, harsh, daylight of this polluted, sad world of injustice? I want to find out now, walking the edge in Edgewater, doing the Tokyo Drift, leaving little hints of breadcrumbs for myself as I go.

My laundry is almost done, I’ll have to go downstairs and put it in the dryer.
