An Anime AI Chase Scene...

Playing Chase With the Cat

"I can create my children from these Seeds..."

NOISEMAN SOUNDINSECT

A short animation created in 1997 by Studio4°C. It tells of the battle between the Noiseman monster that robs the people of music and controls the town, and the boys and girls who have been freed from the noise spells by the truth of music. The director is the creator who represents Studio 4°C, Koji Morimoto. Appointing Masaaki Yuasa to handle character design, environment settings, and animation directing, a never-before-seen feeling for color and a sense for molding brings new perspective to animation. The music, so full of a sense of speed was composed by Yoko Kanno.

Gintoki is Cool (Debatable)...

Gintama the Movie 2026: Yoshiwara in Flames

When the Hyakka go after Seita, Gintoki steps in to protect him at the last moment... with interesting consequences.

"They told us we were Travelers..."

Cosmic Travelers

An animated dark sci-fi series about a crew surviving a deadly cosmic

arena, discovering "travelers" isn't just meant for humans.

Cosmic Travelers is an indie dark sci-fi animation series. The story follows three teammates: a human boy, an android girl, and a robot that looks like a cross between a red panda and a rabbit. They get pulled into a strange game set inside a local zoo. But they soon realize the zoo is actually an arena run by higher civilizations, and Earth itself is just one small section in a massive cosmic theme park.

Forced into dark, bloody, and bizarre competitions alongside alien rivals, they must fight to stay alive while uncovering the cold truth behind Earth’s civilization.

He Was Sent to Kill Chop...

He Became Something Else Instead.

Neo Tokyo 85

A quiet stranger finds Chop at a roadside noodle stall — calm, watchful, and clearly hiding something. What starts as a lie about "just passing through" turns into the most personal fight in the series: two souls who both refused to dissolve in Yomi, but who ended up as very different things. Chainsaws, sledgehammers, rockets, and a blade that cuts through everything in its path — but the real reveal isn't in the fight. It's in what comes after.

Part of the Neo Tokyo 85 anthology: a connected universe of AI-generated cyberpunk anime shorts set in a decaying 1980s Neo-Tokyo.

RIP Optimus Prime, Dolly Parton and Tim Curry

What an awful week. We've lost Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and now Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, all within days of each other. They say that celebrity deaths often come in threes, but these three were all legends.
