It's similar to the fanbooks like the recently published xxxHolic fan book, filled with character profiles, favorite scenes, sketches and background info about the story. well worth picking up if you can read a bit of japanese (it's a bit more text-heavy than your average manga). http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/2148931561512105327/?src=hsr#2919706 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:34:51 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/2148931561512105327/?src=hsrs#2919706 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/2148931561512105327/?src=hsrs#2919706 Thanks for linking to that! How'd you ever know that I would enjoy a video focusing on Tite Kubo? ;) I think I enjoyed part 1 even more with the mini-tour of Kubo's pad. (Love the hat and shoe racks as you come in.) But the breakout star of both videos has to be... PIRATE HITLER! http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/2148931561512105327/?src=hsr#2919699 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:54:51 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/2148931561512105327/?src=hsrs#2919699 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/2148931561512105327/?src=hsrs#2919699 Wow, that video is downright hypnotic. I've never really understood what goes into the screentoning process, so that was interesting, and kind of strange in a way. I love videos like that and seeing the amazing ease with which they do it. Though not as elaborate, I think you'd appreciate this video of Tite Kubo coloring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx6NSVHyU0A It starts around the 50 second http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/3397643644572553617/?src=hsr#2919583 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:39:36 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/3397643644572553617/?src=hsrs#2919583 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/3397643644572553617/?src=hsrs#2919583 Your "No-Prize" is in the mail! Thank you for allowing me to maintain my positive impression of Mori! http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/3397643644572553617/?src=hsr#2919581 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:11:28 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/3397643644572553617/?src=hsrs#2919581 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/3397643644572553617/?src=hsrs#2919581 I bet it's a moving story of a poor ornithologist trying to make ends meet by purchasing too-small clothing from a thrift shop. Yeah, that's it! http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/3397643644572553617/?src=hsr#2919577 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:29:06 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/3397643644572553617/?src=hsrs#2919577 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/3397643644572553617/?src=hsrs#2919577 Totally just tweeted this to David. I'm both fascinated and horrified at this at the same time. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/5368688904254370379/?src=hsr#2919192 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:29:17 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/5368688904254370379/?src=hsrs#2919192 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/5368688904254370379/?src=hsrs#2919192 Thanks for the concern! Nothing interesting, just the usual story of real world stuff eating up formerly free time. I think what really killed my blogging momentum was going on vacation for 10 days and never quite catching up on my feed reading. I hear there was some news about Marvel several weeks ago...? http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/5368688904254370379/?src=hsr#2919190 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:03:35 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/5368688904254370379/?src=hsrs#2919190 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/5368688904254370379/?src=hsrs#2919190 Seriously, I was beginning to think you went the way of Dick Hyacinth. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/5368688904254370379/?src=hsr#2919182 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:24:37 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/5368688904254370379/?src=hsrs#2919182 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/5368688904254370379/?src=hsrs#2919182 JOHN JAKALA! I was getting worried about you? http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/7115934954768765405/?src=hsr#2918904 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 09:21:55 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/7115934954768765405/?src=hsrs#2918904 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jlj01/7115934954768765405/?src=hsrs#2918904 Surely it's impossible to compare Western comics and Manga in such a way anyway, since the purpose is so different. But the most hilarious bit is the outselling of regular manga. Surely that's like saying... (ranomness warning) sometimes apples outsell regular fruit (and in an article about shoes). As if apples... I mean shojo is some sort of freaky phenomenon. That made less than no sense, didn...
