Comic Update: I wanna stay with you
Original Post While not a totally widespread practice, it’s become more common to leave titles of Japanese properties untranslated to appease the needs of the 13-year-old Japanophile crowd. However, this practice seems to limit itself to titles which most Americans can kind-of-sort-of pronounce, not titles in which they’d just...
Comic Update: Yameru toki mo issho da yo tte kami ni chikatta yo ne?
Original Post This meant to go up on Saturday, but in all the confusion that was Anime Boston, I neglected to post it. Gonna keep this short and sweet. This month is going to be hell, as it’s my last real month in college. I say “real” because after...
Comic Update: 東京は夜の七時
Original Post This is a cheapshot, I know, but I love cheapshots, so there we are. I had a hard time aping Yaz’s style, so I think this comic turned out pretty bad. I still think it’s funny, though, because my sense of humour is lame like that. I’ve...
Comic Update: Dream Fighter
Original Post Even though they have changed their tone a bit regarding this issue, the fact that we’re still talking about editing anime in this day and age is quite nostalgic. When I was younger I used to read sites documenting the multitude of edits done to various Toonami...
Comic Update: sugar sweet nightmare
Original Post Yeah, another comic about SHAFT, but not about Vampire Bund! That said, the next comic will be about Vampire Bund again due to recent events. After that I’ll try to think of something new, I promise! For those not in-the-know, Bakemonogatari changes its opening per story arc,...
Comic Update: Sorry I didn’t make love to you last night and instead fell asleep.
Original Post Yeah, yeah, yeah. Another comic about SHAFT and Shinbo. Next week is probably going to be about them, too. What can I say, they make great cartoons, but they’re also hokey enough that I can make fun of them. But speaking of noise filters, the more acute...
Comic Update: Cobra loves the danger
Original Post I find that amongst some anime fans, there are those that think like computers. For instance, when an adaptation of a popular manga takes one step away from the original story, fans label it a failure because the outcome doesn’t fall within their narrow set of expectations....
Comic Update: Whydunit?
Original Post This is one of those comics that got worse and worse as I continued drawing it. The sketches looked fine, but as I continued on things just become more dire. The end product isn’t too bad, but I’m not happy with it. But that’s the usual story,...
Comic Update: 二度と戻れないOH FRIENDS!
Original Post I think I’m going to give Shinbo a rest after this comic. I was going to say I have nothing planned for next week, but then I came up with a bunch of really stupid ideas, and fully intend to use them. (In Shinbo’s head SHAFT animators...
Comic Update: My lunch was just one sandwich, and I didn’t even want to eat it.
Original Post After running this comic by a few people last night, my hypothesis that I’m the only one who finds this comic funny was proven to be correct. It’s not terribly funny unless you find Shinbo getting on Yamakan’s case for storyboarding an episode of Chu-Bra funny, and...
