I miss gravity falls. I'm glad they didn't drag it out forever and make it bad, though. It's amazing and totally deserved the wonderful ending it got. And now I'm going to rewarch it over and over again for ever.

I just want to know how much these audiences overlap
Please consider reblogging for a larger sample size.
*If you don't know what qualifies as "watching" (ie you're not done or have given up on the show), if you've watched season 1 to completion, then consider it as you’ve watched it.
Edit/clarification: If your definition of "watching" doesn't align with mine, that's fine. Use your own definition if you want, the definition I added was just for the people who I knew were going to comment under this with "OP, define 'watch'"
Nimona is a movie coming out tomorrow, June 30th that’s been 7 years in the making! It’s based off the tumblr webcomic turned best-selling graphic novel of the same title.
It was originally being made by Blue Sky Studios and was going to have a theatrical release aimed around 2021, but after Disney acquired them and shut the studio down the film was scrapped. The movie was only about 10 months away from being finished, and it was shut down after Disney execs had pushed back against the queer themes/characters in the movie. BUT, Annapurna studios picked the film back up and finished it!!
Onto the film itself!
The movie follows Nimona, a spunky shapeshifter who teams up with the knight Ballister Boldheart (previously Ballister Blackheart in the graphic novel) after he was framed for a crime he didn’t commit and sent on the run. His ex-boyfriend, Ambrosius Goldenloin, is tasked with hunting them down, but is conflicted between fulfilling his duty and his feelings.
The animation style is stunning and dynamic, and the visuals are so so good!! I would highly recommend checking out the movie and supporting it when it comes out, this is a big step for stylized animation and also queer rep in animation as well!
But the best part is that it just looks like an amazing movie!!
Don't be scared, kiddies. After all, it was only a story. Still, if on some Halloween you pass by a spooky old house that wasn't there a moment before, please come in and say, "Hello." We'd love to have you.
I absolutely love how Evangelion has left such a lasting impact on popular culture even outside of Japan! So much so that there are several references to the classic anime in major American animated shows like Steven Universe & Gravity Falls!
Knowing that Rebecca Sugar & Alex Hirsch are apparently also fans of Hideaki Anno’s magnum opus puts a massive smile on my face!
