Although I don’t consider myself anti-reboot, over the past several years, I’m over them. I want something new, something interesting, something daring. That being said, though, I would love to see a 21st century take on Bubblegum Crisis. The reboot is already over twenty years old (#cries) and wasn’t necessarily successful at translating the BGC…

I remember when I was going to see The Phantom Menace in theaters with my dad. We were both so excited to go back into the world of Star Wars that it seemed like nothing could dim our spirits. And then we walked out of the movie basically like this: All credit goes to Kevin…

OMG YUSSSS. Once again, I’ve reached one of my favorite days because it’s music dayyyyyyy! And I have literally never been so happy to introduce you to the incredible music from Bubblegum Crisis. It’s so deliciously 80s, enough so that I feel like I’m in an episode of Miami Vice … and you know what?…

Fan art is so much fun to root through, partly because that’s how a lot of artists get their start initially. I know I got started by copying Dragonball Z characters and then following that with the Gundam Wing style because I felt like that fit me more. I’m still discovering my style and will…

I haven’t always included promotional art for my challenges, but I think that, if there’s enough of it out there, I’m going to have this be another one of those staple topics that I cover. As an artist myself who is planning on doing cover art for my own stuff (I know, I’ll probably change…

A few days ago, I said that I really wished Daley Wong had been allowed to have a boyfriend or husband. Sure, all the hints lead to Priss being a lesbian – who has no issue leading a man (aka Leon) along to get information she needs for her vigilante job – but she at…

I mentioned this before in an early post, but ugh, it still creeps me out because I think it was featured in almost every episode: Mackie’s lecherous obsession with his sister’s boobs. Or just catching her in her underwear. I’m an anime person, and I am aware of the Japanese obsession with panties (although it’s…

Yay, a quick and easy one! The subbed version is the superior by far. The dubbed version is quite possibly one of the worst examples of voice acting that I can find, just after the original cast for Akira. From the pronunciation of Genom – it’s GEN-um, not gen-NOM or jen-NOM, GOD – to just…

Bubblegum Crisis was both revolutionary and exceptionally disappointing in its portrayal of homosexuality, or honestly, just non-hetero approaches to sexuality in general, but this is the 1980s; sexual identity was still, as a topic, very much on the binary scale, almost as if the other parts of the LGBTQIA+ didn’t exist to the larger public,…

I am honestly unsure as to what I meant when I said I would be discussing the hardsuits. Past Me can be inscrutable. I mean, for those who don’t know, the hardsuits are basically one anime’s answer to Iron Man? But you can tell they’re for girls because high heels (hardcore eyeroll here). But here’s…
