The thing I'm most curious about from that last batch of pages is the comic strip about Evan Dorkin's Eltingville Club comics. There was a cartoon adaptation that aired a pilot in 2002, which I guess is what this strip is responding to, but it's still a super deep cut for a Japanese toku magazine. I'd love to know what the artist was getting from a show about American otaku, and their weird fascination/obsession/fetishization of Japanese culture.

The comic strip you are referring to is manga artist Naoki Karasawa's monthly column for Newtype the LIVE. In the case of the strip you are referring to he was commenting how he felt that there are no borders when it comes to "otaku" as he was watching the Eltingville Club pilot animation on Cartoon Network during the late hours circa 2003. The trivia battle scene seems to have left an impression on him.

It always blows my mind whenever I'm reminded that Japan actually watches American media, haha.

あ! the beauty of this magazine! I remember Isoyama Sayaka was really big at the time this came out and you couldn't move sideways in a Family Mart without being hit with some magazine featuring Sayaka gravure, lol.

Man, it's a shame the choseishin series never really continued cause Daisazer looks like GOAT material looking back. Befitting too considering this is TOHO's project so of course you need some draconic giant thing to be the ultimate weapon. This is the same studio that gave us Godzilla after all.

Either Izenborg or Ganbaron given it was 1977. But judging by how you describe it as Tokusatsu Astro Boy, I shall go with Ganbaron, which I did not know but was apparently the last of the three Baron series, the previous two being Red Baron and Mach Baron. Weird. Last edited by Sunred; 02-05-2021 at 04:38 PM.. |

... ...This is only tangentially related, but there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a while now. You did a bit at the start of your Hibiki thread, when talking about your writing style, where you direct people to my Kuuga one if they want "historical context or linguistic analysis", and I remember reading that and being like "Linguistic analysis!? I never did any OHHHHHH wait, that's right – I totally did linguistic analysis in that thread. On more than one occasion!" I just, I feel like I needed to get that off my chest at some point, so thank you for providing the opportunity.

One of the best things is completely forgetting about what I write, so I can reread stuff and be like Oh This Dude Is Not Bad At This. (I got weirdly sucked in on the Faiz thread a couple days ago.) Completely forgot about that drive-by. Man, I got you good on that one! Nice work, Die!
