So glad a new oban series is in the works

Love me cartoon characters without noses.

[tricksterly-conduct]

I'm trying to upload art again cause i have still been drawing, but i just don't do anything with it other than share with my friends. So i'm going to be uploading my Miraculous Ladybug au/redesign thing that i did a while back.

I didn't really intend to share this on my blog, but i feel like I might as well put these somewhere.

Putting this under a cut cause i'm about to yap

So i started with Ladybug and Chat Noir. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them at this point. At first they were going to be sonas, and then things got out of hand.

So this is sort of a space race au. Like, a mix of Ōban Star-Racers and Motorcity.

So every episode is basically Ladybug and Chat Noir racing for the miraculous to collect them. They have to travel through space and such to get to the next race. (btw this isn't Marinette and Adrien)

Ladybug is more akin to Batman in this. They don't talk often and when they do, it's usually to Chat Noir or the main villain. They use their Lucky Charm similar to those arcade games where you could use nitrous for a burst of speed or something else. Their earrings are also at the end of their antennae. Because i wanted more of a buggy look for them. They also have long nails to represent the tarsal claws that Ladybugs have.

Chat Noir doesn't have a vehicle. They just ride on the back of Ladybug's hovercycle and launch attacks while Ladybug drives. They're the chatty spider-man/catwoman figure. I wanted their Cataclysm to be more neon green like their eyes or the jewel on their chest. They can also shoot their cataclysm like a blue shell from Mario Kart.

Their reasons for teaming up is that they both want to keep the miraculous from falling into Hawkmoth's hands. However, there's of course backstory to it all.

“WHY AM I ONLY FINDING OUT ABOUT THIS NOW?!”

OOC: this reminds me of this thing I made a bit ago

[kustas]

sorry for the more critical requests before.

Top 10 anime that you think went under the radar or are generally unknown

Top 10 anime you like the world building of

It's all good! I'm not gonna know enough anime for all this so I'll do the broad categories.

Anime I like that's unknown or went under the radar

The reason why I spent so many posts shilling Inu-oh is because of how hard it was flopping in american theaters. Many things factored in it but still disappointing. It's a great movie!

Related ish, I had a lot of fun watching Heike Story and saw nobody talk about it.

One of my favorite shows I watched this year was the second season of Megalobox which I had never heard of. The first season is not good though

"what if Ghibli made-" have you seen Ronja yet? If not watch Ronja. I can bet most of you will not have watched Ronja

While I'm at it Castle Cagliostro is by no means recent but it's a delight

One of the best kid's shows I watched was Ōban Star-racers which I've never seen talked about online at all barring french people. It's a cute and clever show with extremely Y2K designs and it's just a fun time. Should be entirely up on YouTube for free, if you're in the mood for jetix type nostalgia go wild, it's pretty short

Speaking of stuff that's free on YT: the little prince and the eight headed dragon! An old movie (1960s) with an amazing art style

Third round of free on YT: the animated Ramayana. It's a long one so prepare for that but I liked it a lot. Got remastered recently too so if you want to buy it in HD

Shows (... and I'm adding manga) who's worldbuilding I like

Mushishi. Mushishi is a lovely, well thought of and touching show in the first place who drifts seamlessly between horror and slice of life. The worldbuilding aspect that rules is the presentation of the mushi at each episode, their variety and creativity and how they are portrayed as beings and as part of an ecosystem.

Letter Bee. I'll give a disclaimer - the worldbuilding is pretty much the only good thing about this series especially if you are watching it. But in terms of casually presented fantasy world, it's original, insanely in-depth and the manga treats you with a bunch of extra information about locations, folk tales and things that are a treat.

Dungeon Meshi manages to take every generic fantasy trope but spin it with an eye for biology and history to make it fresh again. The author also gives via blog posts and bonus pages a whole bunch of details that aren't in the main series yet are interesting to know.

The first half of Castle in the Sky has to be one of, if not my favorite works of fantasy of all times for how magically it depicts a bunch of very normal people living in a land that is rather alien if you squint.

Politics are usually my least favorite worldbuilding topic, but I found myself drawn by the relationship between political drama, science and large scale environmental catastrophes that makes up the backdrop for the story of Number 5

Cowboy Bebop... The chill little human pockets of life in space, their variety and cluttered quaint goodness, the musical backgrounds for them, it's all so good

Dorohedoro's worldbuilding is stupid and it works so damn well. Having God be an asshole with ADHD tendencies explains so much

[dieuecaflip2004]

I'm so glad I grew up with Ōban Star-Racers instead of whatever the fuck america is/was doing. i distinctly remember going on a holiday to visit a friend in the states and crying when she tried to make me watch that shit

The amount of notes and the nice tags left on Ōban Star-Racers gifs I made really make me want to continue making the gifs for the rest of the episodes 🥺 the show deserves it

[canmom]

I was wondering scrolling through these if I'd recognise the name of the dad, and it turns out I do. Thomas Romain is a French animator who created Code Lyoko and directed the FR/JP coproduction Ōban Star Racers, and subsequently moved to Japan to work on various other anime like Space Dandy and Sk8 The Infinity, mostly as a designer.

I know of him mostly because he did a really good series of guides to practical perspective drawing. Highly recommend these, they succinctly cover how to use the eyeline properly and a lot of perspective gotchas.
