I know that some others are posting themselves with obviously edited sunglasses to censor their eyes as to maintain some privacy, so I decided to jump on that bandwagon.
"But Nova you already had glasses on!" I know but they weren't sunglasses. That's the trend. Lol.
I've been having genuine bouts of struggle come around.
I was made homeless because I refuse to live with someone that treats me poorly, only to then become ill and physically weak in a way that feels nearly permanent no matter what progress I make.
I have somewhere to live and sleep now thanks to the care of a friend, but it wasn't like that for a bit and it's made me feel spiteful and full of hatred for people so content to see others struggle, no matter whatever pretense they may try to justify themself with when asked about why they refuse to help. Usually, this pretense is "well it's not me nor is it my concern I'm putting myself first" yeah no, fuck off with that.
Posting normally soon maybe if I can become stable for real this time.
I will say this, though. When I come back to posting, it'll be similar as it was to when I first started posting on Tumblr. Things about Anpanman and Zelda and my fandoms in general that probably only make sense in my head. The posts aren't going to be some kind of performance, but rather just me prattling random details and thoughts I find interesting. This profile will also completely turn away from discussing the woes of life like it currently is.
As is the case with my @novas-pilot-anpanman blog, I'll become active there again too posting the Pilot Anpanman related content I was meant to post plus eventually also updating the profile itself to show relevant and current information.
That is all.

I'm starting this post by apologizing for my inactivity.
Things have not been easy. Over the course of 2024-2025, I lost the last 3 family members I had. In terms of biology/genetics and whatever, I'm the last person left. I live with my girlfriend, and her family treats me like part of them. It's a blessing, really. However, the grief and losses being so close to one another has irked me enough to avoid posting to Tumblr for a bit while I work myself out.
On top of that, I'm sitting in a hospital for what I have learned was a car accident. The taxi that my girlfriend and I were taking home from an event was T-boned, and I'll let you guess which unfortunate boots-wearing Tumblr user ended up taking most of the physical blow. I had no initial knowledge on what had happened at first, but I have been told this afternoon. I have mixed feelings over the entire ordeal, but at least I'm healing and receiving the help I need.
I will return and post more content soon, thank you for being patient during this awkward time of my life. I swear it isn't normally this out of its mind.
hello agian! idk how long it wil take for you to see this one but i have a question that has been siting in my brian for a while
so in my last ask about the anpanman pilots you mentioned "bootlged pilot episodes"
WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE?
HOW DID YOU FOUND OUT THOSE EXIST?
HOW MANNY ARE THERE?
WHERE CAN I WACH THEM?
ARE THEY ADAPTATIONS OF THE MINI BOOKS? ORIGINAL STORYS WITH THE ONLY ANPANMAN ELEMENT BEING ANPANMAN HIMSELF? ARE THEY ALL FROM A SINGLE ENTITY OR FROM MANY SOURCES? AROUND THE WORLD? HOW
i have so manny questions...
To answer:
-Exactly what they sound like. Episodes appearing to be Pilot Anpanman made by someone that is not the creators.
-Piracy websites. Pirated a movie and found those. Piracy is still wrong, kids.
-Numerous that I know of.
-They are from numerous sources everywhere, almost anyone that could pick up a pen and animate Anpanman to a semi-decent tier. They don't reflect any actual event in Pilot Anpanman or any other official Anpanman media.
im sorry but this wil be a long long one...
info i gathered about the anpanman pilots
WARNING: most of this info came from some yt coments i found so take it all with a HUGE grain of salt
lets start with some actual relyable sources:
the credits say that the pilots where dirercted by some tetsuo yasumi guy and animated by "studio Märchen" who worked on "nippon mukashi banashi" wich many pepole tough this was from but it wasnt as we soon wil see.
as for what Yanase himself said about it in an intervew in the late 2000s he had very little involvment and it was made inpedenently by forbel kan.
it was aparently shown on places such as libraries and street shows in 16 min tapes (whatever those are)
the frist one was released in 1984 and the second one in 1987 (wich is odd since is the year the TMS anime started production)
aparently there where plans to adapt "anpanman and gorilaman" in a third episode but it never came to be (probably bc TMS was already working on soreike anpanman) and its unknown how far it got into production
strangely the vas arent credited anywhere in the short and since the japanese audio is lost its a total mistery. i beleve theres a chançe anpanman could have been voiced by toshie kusunoki who voiced him in the musical Märchen anpanman/ringing bell records but that was like almost a decade before but i stil beleve in the posibilty.
if you read it all from an unofical anpanman historian to an anpanman purist thank you!
*Cracks knuckles.* I have been studying Pilot Anpanman stuff for over 2 (almost 3?) years now and feel like I've been called to fulfill a prophecy, so thank you. To start, a decent chunk of what you said is proven correct. Yes, the Pilot episodes were directed by Tetsuo Yasumi and animated by Studio Marchen, whilst being made by Forbel Kan. Yes, these tapes were played in places like the mall, library, you name it. Anywhere that had a small overhead TV with public access was fair game to these tapes. The reason these had aired as they did was because they were being used as audience "test samples" i.e. seeing how the consumer would react to an initial product. It's a market strategy. At this time, animating the Anpanman comic and anything else was still merely a test idea. There were plans for the third tape you mentioned, but it didn't come to fruition in Japan because they were trying to aim for a new angle plus the perception and understanding was that Anpanman needed upgrades.
The initial episode 3 idea was scrapped, but another one was made in its place. Around the time Soreike! Anpanman came out, there were still tapes for libraries and malls and other places still being made for spaces that didn't have cable TV or could otherwise broadcast TV, which eventually stopped after public TVs gained better access to cable TV and could therefore show Soreike! Anpanman.
Unfortunately, however, most of those tapes are lost media and the Japanese versions even moreso.
(These are even harder to find considering that most were just made to advertise, not to broadcast).
Japan wasn't the only country that Pilot Anpanman had any relevance. Other official dubs existed in greek, urdu, arabic, and other languages. Some of the dubs for that exist on Youtube for the first episode, even. There were (at one point) bootlegged/fake episodes being made in other dubs that were very poorly representative of Pilot Anpanman content as well and look nor sound nothing like it. As far as I know, they're not sold around anymore.
Occasionally, a Japanese auction site will auction off a random episode tape here and there that is legitimate but expensive. I've had a go at getting them numerous times, but to no avail. It's hard to find the original pieces of media that started this odd appreciation people are starting to have again and even harder with other dubs and bootlegs.
Tell me, Noble Nova, what will it take to sit on your face again....~
Nice try, Peppy. No one gets laid on Tumblr. Nobody.
Pilot Anpanman and his ability to express tears.
Soreike! Anpanman isn't good at showing Anpanman in tears when an emotional situation comes up in which he really would feel upset and therefore cry. He's come close, but the show doesn't actually let him properly.
Pilot Anpanman however doesn't give a fuck and lets you see that side of him which I think is important in characters if you want to get attached to them.
i dont wanna be THAT person but...
TMS anime anpanman CAN cry as well!
Alright then, let's have this conversation because you're not the first to have it with me.
I have seen Anpanman tear up and get upset and yes, Soreike does that as well. Awesome that they do.
There's just an extreme difference between tearing up/holding back tears and full on crying. They don't let Soreike Anpanman often go past tearing up since water would technically spoil his head, and the show has to stick to its own logic. Tearing up is a thing he does which is cool because it shows little flickers of emotion but, as a guy myself I stick by the point that a Single Manly Tear moment is completely different from full on sobbing crying and breaking down.
The fact that the older cartoon was not afraid to show Anpanman's weaker and more vulnerable moments as something more than just holding tears is significant to me, especially when thinking about just how much of his own "person" Pilot Anpanman can be in comparison to Soreike. It shows Pilot allowing himself to be weak for just a few moments, but for Soreike he's not often given the chance to express what's inside, rather just needing to dust himself off and "follow his heart" in order to help others.
If I came off unclear in my original post I apologize, hopefully this clears that confusion.
God, I'm so sorry about recent inactivity. I've had work and other things standing in the way. I'll eventually come back and post as normal.
*pokes you with a stick* you're alive? great!
what are your thoughs on 1969 anpanman? (if you ever saw him)
Actually, I have seen him, albeit briefly. I really like some of the concepts that existed for 1969 Anpanman especially because he was more of a man that handed out bread rather than being a man MADE of bread. I also know that without 1969 Anpanman, we wouldn't have neither Jam or the Anpanman we know today, since this version of him was split into the 2 characters we know and love today.
Figured i haven't posted the baby boy here. Still love this piece to bits, and shall spread the love here too. MIGHTYYY

This is so fucking real
I’ve been tossing around this idea for a new Anpanman OC for a while, so glad to finally have a good idea for him! X3 Sampuru-san loves two things: food and art! He loves good food, and he loves good art. Sadly, he knows that no matter how amazing a dish can look, it’s fleeting, and can never look as good as it once did. That’s where he comes in! Using his amazing wax and paint skills, he can copy any food with a lifelike sculpture! Perfect in a land of food, he’s made good business advertising for others, but an enemy out of Baikinman: that food should be edible, dangit!
