Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 29.5

...or, to put it another way, I can totally imagine that freaky Honeycombs monster thing being a Digimon.

Weekly Anime Comic: Magic Knight Rayearth - page 1.5

I mean, yeah, I know it's a magical girl staple, and I do know that their armor gets more elaborate down the line, but still! You gotta admit it's a little weird, right?

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 29

Yeah, I've seen The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari before, but that was a looooooong time ago. And let's be honest here, it's not like this particular, extremely striking setting actually MEANS anything in the greater flow of the episode. They could have had just about any kind of backdrop for these scenes, and very little would need to chan...

Weekly Anime Comic: Magic Knight Rayearth - page 1

I mean, I know Hikaru ACTS a lot younger than the other two, but the dialog in this episode makes it sound like she LOOKS like a grade schooler. Sure, she's SLIGHTLY shorter than the others... in certain shots, but she still has the same generally tall, lanky design of just about every other character. My brain just struggles with the implicat...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 28.75

I tried to keep all that vague enough to obscure my own lack of knowledge on the topic, and I am ABSOLUTELY sure I still got some details in that whole spiel wrong. See kids, this is what happened back when franchises had "multiverses" that weren't diagrammed out my committees years in advance. Even setting aside that must of us in the Western...

Weekly Anime Comic: Magic Knight Rayearth - page 0.5

As over-used as the trope could get, I do really miss the days when characters could and did turn into blobby, big-headed versions of themselves at a moment's notice. Not, like, in some bonus content or spin off or something, but right there in the actual anime. I'm sure it's still out there, but I feel like I don't see it anywhere near as muc...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 28.25

Yeah, just as your latest reminder: even though I still use the dub versions of names where applicable (because those are the names I learned first), I am actually watching the subbed versions of these episodes for comic purposes. And while the dub does include some scattered references to the previous seasons of the show as something the charac...

Weekly Anime Comic: Magic Knight Rayearth - page 0

Look, all I know is that I sat down to watch the first episode of Rayearth, and got hit with inspiration for more comic pages than I got from watching the entire first SEASON of Konosuba. Make of that what you will.

But seriously, both this week AND next week's comics are generic enough jokes that we won't "officially" start digging into ...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 28

Preemptive hello to any diehard steampunk fans getting offended over this. I don't even dislike the whole steampunk thing, just how severely overplayed it got for a few years there. This'll be especially ironic in retrospect a few days later, when I finally get around to finishing this month's blog post. (Though you'll only get it if you're a...

Weekly Anime Comic: Baccano - FINALE

Look, I'm not even saying that I desperately WANT to know the amazing backstory of the fat guy getting robbed of a box of candy bars by Santa Claus and a pumpkin. I'm just saying that it's exactly the sort of gag I would have expected a series like Baccano to pull at some point. I mean, they bring back the immortal mouse for crying ou...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 27.75

I mean, I couldn't NOT draw this, right?

Weekly Anime Comic: Baccano - page 16.75

I will never EVER get tired of sniffing out and laughing at odd signs in anime backgrounds. This I vow.

But, believe it or not, this actually NOT the last Baccano page! I've actually been holding one last doodle in reserve for WEEKS now, just waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger on it. So come back this time next we...

Weekly Anime Comic: Baccano - page 16.25

Okay, I'm wading into unfamiliar waters again by trying to get some comics done early and queue them up to go live while I'm away at Otakon. HOPEFULLY you're seeing this when you're supposed to, but any time I do something out of my usual routine, I get all anxious and uncertain.

Anyway, yes, that's a real movie. And it's not just a "kil...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 27.25

Sorry the art on this one is so rough... that is, even rougher than it usually is. I had to bash this comic out REALLY quickly due to Otakon preparations, so that wide shot in particular is a lot more... "impressionistic" than would usually be acceptable.

Also, it felt REEEAAALLY weird to write "Adult" instead of "Champion" for this comic...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 27

Basically, what I'm saying here is 1. Midlife Crisis + 2. Short Man Syndrome = 3. Impmon.

...and that's not even the only motorcycle joke I got out of this episode.

Weekly Anime Comic: Baccano - page 16

See, if I take a step back and say how I DON'T say these things, then it's YOUR fault for bringing it up if you disagree! ...though, for the record, if they DID hook up, I'd probably say that Rachel could do way better than Claire/Vino/Felix/whatever. I guess the main point here is that I find her a lot more likable than Chané, so I wanted mor...

RAYEARTH WINS!

AND WE HAVE A WINNER! A surprising one at that, if I'm honest. I was quietly hoping for Gundam to win, while bracing myself for K-On, so I'm a little blindsided that Rayearth wound up getting the nod. But this is what we're doing next!

Some quick bits of housekeeping: Obviously, there's still a BIT of Bacc...
