The first story trailer for Bellolandia Studio's 'Electro Andes,' its upcoming South American pilot.

Set in a dystopian future shaped by Andean mythology, the project will make its world premiere at Annecy next week.

Bellolandia calls its approach "Sudakuga," a portmanteau of Sudaca, the colloquial, often derogatory term for Latin Americans, and sakuga, the Japanese word for sequences of especially high-quality, expressive animation.

"We consider what we're doing an anomaly. You don't get to see much anime coming from South America."

Fucking amazing.

But I had to read the english subtitles because I didn't understand anything. XD

In 1914’s “Through the Brazilian Wilderness”, Roosevelt noted the following: “They are the most ferocious fish in the world. Even the most formidable fish, the sharks or the barracudas, usually attack things smaller than themselves. But the piranhas habitually attack things much larger than themselves"

Roosevelt got pushback on his inaccurate description of piranhas as vicious killing machines. He didn't take it well...

From the summary of this 1915 letter from Roosevelt to J. D. Haseman: "Theodore Roosevelt cautions J. D. Haseman that Haseman’s personal experience with piranhas is not enough to ignore the facts regarding piranhas attacking men and animals"
