When Island of the Giant Pokémon was being conceptualized, Yuyama even toyed with the idea of writing the script for it himself, because head writer Takeshi Shudo was dragging his feet on putting that episode into rotation. Shudo eventually wrote the screenplay himself. #anipoke

Chief Director Daiki Tomiyasu wrote the screenplay for today's episode. This isn't unheard of (Yuyama has a few writing credits, including Ripple in Time, and Yajima co-wrote M21 and M23). I think three episode credits gets you membership in the Japanese Writer's Guild, which has union benefits.

Ive heard x2 videos name drop/mention "Kingdom Hearts Stupid Files."' I don't doubt many remember and watched those videos back in the 2000s, but I almost never heard people bring them up in more recent years.

Was thinking to myself earlier about "what happened to Kishimoto's twin brother" But then I realised they literally released a new manga this year. image source: natalie.mu/comic/news/6...

WOAH! Shou Zama Kitazume one in 1986! Oh the seller listed this as Judau, yeah it's clearly meant to be Shou Zama. But yeah I do consider that "Judau style" to originate from Shou more or less. image source: jp.mercari.com/item/m245413...

Melancholy Hearts.

Jamming.

ZZ I guess, by technically, references the 1986 Dakar rally.

This is live South African TV broadcasting. Most of our TV shows on national TV are subtitled. We all grew up with this. This is why when I hear Americans say things like “dub is better because you are too focused on reading subtitles” didn’t make too much sense to me.

Never played the second one before….mostly played the first on PSP in any case.

First time I witnessed a live action Japanese drama name drop Wikipedia directly.

[ 名作に学ぶアニメのつくり方 ]

The ZZ Japanese Wikipedia page now even has a section mentioning Non Japanese reviews/reception. Ollie's ZZ 2016 Blu-Ray review is directly referenced.

By the way, the ZZ Japanese Wikipedia page has indeed been upgraded earlier this year. I revisit it every now and again over these past 5 years, it's come a long way. Many of these citations I recognise from scans and other translations. Hell even one citation is from 2026.

Look at them waddle away.

Please guys, let's show some support.

This will be the last sample I'll share for now until I have final chapters ready to go, but even that is very likely far off. Please, if you can, support my ability to someday focus on my art. I cannot express myself in words how much I want to be able to create this series in my lifetime.

"I have been deeply interested in ZZ's production since 2021. But this myth about Tomino's lack of involvement in ZZ came as a shock to me when I first found out about it. It never made sense. Even the settei proves he was there to the end." x.com/Petsuchan/st...

Recently the ZZ related "Tomino wasn't that involved with ZZ because of 'CCA' " thing has resurfaced again. Again, from the Japanese side of things. However these days; it tends to be met with push back rather quickly. The below is actually an example of pushback to this: x.com/sakami_kenit...

Series of 3 Commissions for a client on VGen that I just finished. It's the client's unique designs for Arle, Amitie and Ringo from Puyo Puyo.

Oh so the WILD ARMS TV adaptation was supposed to have 26 episodes? Oh? Yeah so they did work on scripts and storyboards of those episodes . Not surprising I guess. Haven't seen this show since 2005. source: www.aniplex.co.jp/WILDARMS/inn...

Dang. Even the JPN Wiki page of WILD ARMS doesn't really say anything about its production. It's not a short Wiki page, but it's just about the gameplay, mechanics, characters and lore. I actually have never watched a WILD ARMS 1 video that even touches no the production. . .
