I knew from the start that I wanted to do something from Wicked for my musical sequence, and while I was going through the soundtrack, the first thing I thought when I heard this song was “Oh my god, Asuka and Rei would be perfect for this.”
‘Saturday Night Live’ Skewers Anime and J-Pop Fans [Video]
Actress Anna Faris hosted Saturday Night Live over the weekend, appearing in a skit called “J-Pop America Fun Time Now” that parodied American fans of anime and J-Pop and even implied — via Jason Sudeikis as a frustrated Japanese language professor — that the fetishization of Japanese culture in some corners of fandom could border on racism. What do you think of the skit? Is it a fair satire of some of anime’s more extreme fans, or does it go too far?
Don’t think it’s a tight fit. It’s giving her trouble ‘cuz she’s not bothering to first unbuckle it from around her chin. She’s just yanking it off her skull through brute strength and/or weaponized agitation.
have you ever wondered why anime people have such big eyes like this:
that’s because of scrooge mcduck
Osamu Tekuza. creator of Astro Boy and often called “The Godfather of Anime,” was a big fan of the Scrooge McDuck comics from back in the fifties and when he created Astro Boy, he based his art style on the Scrooge McDuck comics
so basically this character
who serves as the visual basis for the modern-day anime art style was inspired by this
which means that every time you get horny for this
or for these guys
you’re actually getting your jollies from the great grandkids of this motherfucker
(if this submitted twice, I apologise.) Manchildren complaining about how having shirtless men in anime threatens their fragile heterosexuality is the funniest thing. The second funniest thing is the idea that women somehow ruin anime or don’t buy anime. Ah, the mantears, they flow strong and sweet.
ModT- This is great; also I checked out your blog and your other art is great too.
