Good Hunting (from Love, Death, and Robots on Netflix - Dir. Oliver Thomas):

Duration: ~17 minutes

A poignant and beautifully animated story about a Huli jing and a human being forced adapting to technology. The steampunk aesthetic contrasted with the initial serenity of nature demonstrate impressive skill and talent by the animators. This is a short in which every word counts and not a frame of screen-time is wasted. I won’t say much because it’s a short but it’s as touching as it is heart-wrenching. (Tws for non-graphic rape and middling gore)

Jojoquarium ( @jojoquarium​ )

Blog

Okay this blog just sends me. I have loved marine biology and the ocean since I was a kid and with my current year long and still going strong Jojo adoration this blog was a heaven send for me. They link articles to the species so you can learn more about them, which gives you the opportunity to learn more about fascinating new creatures. And these mashups?? 👌👌I highly recommend following this blog.

Jojolion (Hirohiko Araki available on Mangadex):

Duration: 91/??? Chapters

So I’m sure most of you are aware of this but I just really started reading this again and I don’t get why so many people dislike it. It is very different from Araki’s previous parts of Jojo but I’m loving the emphasis on mystery. It has some very cool gore in it too — I highly recommend it. I’m around 25 chapters in and so far each chapter gets better than the last. You’ll be drawn in by the mystery surrounding this town and fascinated by trying to pull all of the information and detail Araki offers together. If you haven’t gotten around to it yet I highly recommend reading it. And Josuke’s stand, Soft n Wet, is one of my favorite stands ever both conceptually and in design. (tw for gore, trypophobia)

Hazbin Hotel (Animation Pilot by Vivziepop on Youtube):

Duration: ~30 minutes

This is a hilarious and refreshing animation pilot that breathes fresh life into the somewhat derivative scene of contemporary western animation. It has adult themes and jokes, some of them may be found slightly offensive (although it’s always aimed at the right people) so keep that in mind. But for me, as someone who is a fan of dark humor and good animation this pilot is a must. It’s cynical and pointed jabs at modern society (lol we live in a society guyz) are contrasted nicely by a sweet, optimistic (but also very human) main character. And! Lesbians! Main character lesbians!! Also Angel Dust is a personal favorite. If you like X rated cartoon villains, incredible music (oh yeah, did I mention it’s a musical?), and refreshing plot this show is for you. Think Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends meets Archer. (tw for mild gore, slightly offensive humor).

(video accompanying awesome dio art with even more awesome dio art)

Bree has an amazing art style and a great sense of humor. You can tell by these samples alone. This blog is full of awesome Jojo stuff, original content as well as reblogs. You’ll find top tier memery as well as some good Jotakak and Gyjo content for your soul.  Another blog that I simply cannot recommend enough.

Enigma of Amigara Fault (Junji Itō available on Mangadex):

Duration: ~30 pages

Speaking of those Jojolion wall eyes...have you read The Enigma of Amigara Fault yet? If not, you definitely should. Junji Itō is one of my favorite horror writers and in this short manga, he does an amazing job of both building suspense and dread over a short period of time and also working in some social commentary along the way. This concept has always been so unsettling to me, the idea of having a “perfect” place made just for you. Predestination and lack of will. I highly recommend this although you may need to fucking meditate or something afterwards.
