the irish prime minister gave biden a “shamrock bowl” but as far as i can tell this isnt like… a thing? they have sprigs of clover in their suits? this seems insane
proud irish tradition of fucking with americans about irish tradition
I remember reading about this guy when I was researching about the early weeb fandom in the US. Like the article says he was one of the main organizers in the 1980s NYC anime fandom and iirc AMVs were directly inspired by the legendary Daicon III opening animation and Kaposztas’ desire to make similar music video style anime-mashup shorts but obviously didn’t have access to an animation team so he did the next best thing and used his video editing skills (I wouldn’t be surprised if he was an early fansubber)
I discussed this on the Twitter as well - in the early 2000′s AMV’s were the peak of ‘intense’ fandom in Anime, they were the highlight event of cons, people learned about shows from them, memes were born from them, etc. Its niche but Kaposztas is an innovator who played a role in building a slice of culture, its a real achievement.
Also love that the Kotaku article just puts the Evangelion/Tribute Mash-up AMV in at the end just because why not, that video dominates, definitely watch it.
Okay so like, this is a hound right, they’re bred for large groups and the bark is more of a bay, and they bay both in their pack (group singalong bonding moment) and also at prey.
This? This is not an unhappy dog. That tail is loose, wagging slowly, and the dog is having fun.
This dog is demanding that their human gets up and does a group singalong with him on the piano (because humans can bark right but perhaps the piano sounds similar enough to him that it passes the vibe check) and she does (which reinforces the behaviour, hilariously).
So yeah, this is a group singalong: hound-dog-style
