Nice argument. However, I have already portrayed myself as the happy Japanese dog and you as the downtrodden Filipino dog.

What’s Out This Week 12/14

PLEASE SEND HELP THESE LORDS WON’T STOP LEAPING

Art Brut #1 (of 4) -  W. Maxwell Prince, Martin Morazzo, & Mat Lopes

Presenting here the first major work from the creative minds behind ICE CREAM MAN-re-lettered, remastered, and under its original intended name! The world of fine art is falling apart, and only ART BRUT knows how to fix it. Alongside the Bureau of Artistic Integrity, Arthur Brut the Mad Dreampainter (and his trusty sidekick, Manny the Mannequin) must dive back into the very paintings that made him insane...or reality itself might just crumble to pieces. A colorful, gonzo romp through art and art history, ART BRUT is equal parts police procedural, hyper-fantasy, and psychological thriller-a veritable Pollock-splatter of comics genres tossed onto one giant pulpy canvas! Each issue features new covers, new design, and a new Silver Age-style backup story featuring the art hero that no one's ever heard of-until now! Originally published under the title The Electric Sublime, this special edition presents the NPR-lauded, critically acclaimed material in its intended form.

In a world where fairy tales are fact and humans live in fear of werewolves, witches, and monsters, only the Hunters Guild can keep the monsters at bay.

survey by caitlinen

Clothes & body.

What color is your shirt? The one I’m currently wearing has some white, red, and black on it.

What length is your hair? Too long than how I want it to be; I just haven’t had the time to have it trimmed + Covid’s bad again so I can’t even go out of the house anymore. Anyway it’s already down to my boobs but I really want to have it cut all the way up to my neck again.

Do you have any broken bones currently? Nope, never happened.

Have you ever broken a bone? See above.

What color are your favorite pair of shoes? White, as are all my favorite pairs to wear.

What style are your favorite pair of pants? Denim, mom jeans.

Do you like shorts or jeans more? It’s definitely a lot comfier to wear shorts, but it’s frequently hard to find one that suits my style so I don’t own a lot of them.

Do your socks match more than not? I never wear socks anymore lol.

Do you like wearing hats? I would probably enjoy wearing them if I invested in them, but for the most part there’s a bunch of other stuff I’d rather spend my money on.

List the songs that come up on your iPod/mp3 shuffle: I’ll just put my Spotify on shuffle based on the last song I listened to:

1. Grow Up - Paramore

2. Simmer - Hayley Williams

3. Escape Route - Paramore

4. Pool - Paramore

5. Ain’t It Fun - Paramore (I guess I had my angry!Paramore playlist on last...I could swear I was recently playing BTS though, lmao. Oh well)

6. I’m Not Angry Anymore - Paramore

7. Playing God - Paramore

8. Moving On - Paramore

9. Forgiveness - Paramore

10. Rose-Colored Boy - Paramore

Favorite movie by genre:

Comedy: Not a big comedy buff but I do have a soft spot for White Chicks, hahaha. The jokes have so far never failed to make me laugh.

War: Gone With the Wind.

Horror: I’ll have to go with The Shining or the original Carrie for this. I can’t even tell you the last time I was able to watch The Shining all the way through; I always get disturbed enough to turn it off at a certain point. That alone makes it great for me.

Romance: If we’re talking full-on romance and not romcom, probably The Vow. That and Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

Rom-Com: The Proposal, Love Actually, Roman Holiday, Funny Face, and Two for the Road.

Animated: Toy Story.

Drama: Revolutionary Road, without a doubt. Room and The Reader are great as well.

Foreign: I mean...all English-language movies are foreign to me lmao so I guess I’ll go with my all-time favorite? Two for the Road.

Suspense: Eh, not really a fan. I guess I’ll go with Gone Girl.

Musical: Even more so not a fan, but I do love My Fair Lady. I remember being super excited to view La La Land thinking it would just have some songs squished in between scenes, so I was disappointed when the first scene was literally a song number.

Documentary: Jiro Dreams of Sushi was life-changing. I’m glad one of my home ec teachers introduced us to the full docu in one of our classes.

Sports: Not a fan.

Religious: The Exorcist, if we can stretch what ‘religious’ means hahahaha

Family: Let’s just go with Toy Story again.

Holiday: It’s A Wonderful Life, and Love Actually again!

Black and White: Not really a genre lol, but Roman Holiday.

Historical: Schindler’s List. I guess Steve Jobs can also kinda technically count as historical even though it covers a super modern period. The screenplay in that movie was *chef’s kiss*

Based On True Events: Spotlight.

Classic: Gone with the Wind.

Book to Screen: Revolutionary Road, though I’ve never read the book.

Adult animated: Anomalisa.

Thriller: Misery.

Western: Ew hahahaha bye

Food:

How do you like your pizza? Very simple. The less toppings the better, 

Do you put parmesean cheese on pasta? If there’s some available, yeah.

What is your ideal salad? With chunks of tuna sashimi and spicy mayo.

Which is your favorite kind of macaroni & cheese? Isn’t macaroni and cheese just...that? Hahaha I’m not aware of any other kinds of it; I don’t get to have mac and cheese a lot.

Which juice is your favorite? I find some of the more exotic ones actually taste nice and don’t taste too overpowering, like guyabano.

What do you dip your french fries in? Mayonnaise, or any kind of sauce that has mayo mixed in it.

Which is your favorite kind of pie? I usually gravitate towards savory ones; doesn’t matter what kind.

Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate? Milk > white > dark.

How do you take your coffee? Creamy and milky.

Crab legs, shrimp, or lobster tail? Crab or lobster. Not the biggest fan of shrimp and I’d honestly pass on it if I could, but if it were the only seafood being served I wouldn’t mind getting one or two. But generally, the flavor doesn’t do much for me and I hate that they’re usually too small hahaha.

Steak medium rare or well done? Ultra rare.

If you said well done you can see yourself out. Lmao damn, I love steak but I’m not a gatekeeper...

Do you grow any of your own food? No, never really tried doing so.

If you do, which is your favorite to eat?

Name 4 foreign dishes you want to try. Can’t really name exact names of dishes off the top of my head, but some cuisines I have yet to try and would love to are African (in general), Brazilian, Sri Lankan, and Swedish.

Do you like guacamole? It’s fine. Not super common here, and I wouldn’t seek it out even if I were despeately hungry.

What is your go to snack? Corndogs or spicy tuna salad.

Do you prefer mustard or cheese on a soft pretzel? Cheese. Hate mustard.

Do you like oysters? Looooooooove them, but they’re kinda expensive so I don’t get to have them a lot. I usually settle for mussels.

How do you eat them? I’m down for any kind of oyster dish.

What kind of pasta is your favorite? Fettuccine.

Favorite alcoholic beverage, if you're of age? Long Island Iced Tea or some kind of fruity, sweet cocktail.

Favorite cold beverage? Cold water or soju.

Favorite type of junk food? Pizza always.

What could you eat every single day? Literally spicy tuna salad. I wish I could have one right now :(((

What food do you hate the most? Fruits or raisins.

Are you a good cook? Hahahaha, not at all. If I’m having a craving I usually have to have it ordered for delivery.

What is your favorite thing to make?

How do you eat oreos? I never eat the actual cookies because I had them a million times as a kid and now I’m sick of them. I do love Oreo-flavored stuff, like milkshakes and cheesecakes.

Anime NYC 2021, Day One

So first of all, in regards to what everyone’s talking about, I can’t speak for the line problem. I arrived at 10am via the press entrance with no issues, but I talked with other press folks who arrived later who were in line forever. So I’ll let them go into details. My own start of the con was relatively sedate. At 10am the place was almost deserted. I found out why later. Plus my first panel wasn’t till 3:15. So I leisurely sat, read manga, read books, ate lunch, and visited a show floor that was absent a lot of the usual suspects. Viz is entirely absent this year. Kodansha has a panel and an Attack on Titan art exhibit, but no booth. The manga contingent consisted of Yen press, J-Novel Club, and Denpa Books.

Speaking of Denpa, they had my fist panel. First of all, the biggest news: Ed Chavez was audible through the entire panel. Anyone who has seen Ed’s prior panels knows what a big deal this is. As for the panel itself, a lot of it was titles that Denpa has already discussed, either in previous con announcements or in tweets. The combination of COVID-19 delays and printing issues owing to the sudden explosion of manga popularity means that getting books to the printers takes forever. A few of the slides Ed had gave Summer 2021 release dates, which isn’t true. That said, he has had a lot of new titles go to the printers recently, so 2022 looks far more promising on the Denpa front.

A big surprise to me, and showing that my own tastes do not necessarily match that of the average manga buyer, was hearing what Denpa’s big sellers were. For all that folks mocked Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji’s delays of Vols. 1-3, now that they’re out they’re selling very well. Also selling well is Pleasure and Corruption, the high school bondage and discipline manga. The Girl with the Sanpaku Eyes also has its 3rd volume out soon, and is also selling well. There were also two special editions of Shūzō Oshimi titles at Denpa’s exhibitor table – they have a very good working relationship with the author.

“Old” new announcements included Baby Bear’s Bakery, an adorable-looking series about, well, a baby bear running a bakery. March 2022 for that. The Man Who Created Gundam, a nonfiction-ish manga with real people in it, is trapped in clearance hell at Sunrise. Hopefully soon. Guyabano Holiday should now be Fall 2022, and we also saw updates on yuri vampire series Vampeerz and comedic action series Under Ninja. We then got “new” announcements, though we knew most of these from tweets the last few months. They Were 11, which will have an oversize trim, posters, and color pages, and will also feature the “extra” chapters never published in English before. They’re looking at Winter 2022. Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack: Beltorchika’s Children has Char abandoning Gundams for the life of a Broadway stage actor. Possibly.

March Comes in Like a Lion got a big reaction from the audience, though Ed is worried about the title. The author has had failures here before, and the shogi essays make it hard to find a translator. Renjoh Desperado is a comedy action manga about a woman searching for love and her fanservice to the manga reader that will hopefully help that search go well. And we heard about two new artbooks. Black Tights WIDE has 48 different illustrators give their interpretation of thighs and stockings. And The Art of Jun – TabeGirl is about girls eating. And looking good while doing it.

Ed then talked about Denpa’s books on the KUMA boy’s love label. They have not released much on that label yet, but that will change next year, they plan to do a lot more. You Are My Happiness is out soon (it was at Denpa’s table) and is by the author of Melting Lover, also from KUMA. Boys of the Dead is (groan) “Zom-BL”. The Song of Yoru & Asa is a band BL series that’s edgy but also has great character development. Sick is a series about a college student who likes to bully… erm, tease the boy he likes. And Canis – Dear Hatter is a sequel to the Canis title KUMA did earlier.

Lastly, they had a license from the FAKKU imprint that definitely surprised me, as I recall when it was coming out ages ago. Nana & Kaoru ran in Hakusensha’s Young Animal, and typified the magazine in many ways. A series about a virgin with an S&M fetish and the twisted relationship he has with the girl who discovers this, it’s a great example of a title that is almost explicitly porn without actually being porn. It’s 18 volumes long, and will be released in 3-volume omnibuses. Eds Q&A included a more extensive discussion of the supply chain issues going on right now, what made them decide to license a title like Kaiji, how how they look at licenses in general – per Ed, do not expect an isekai from them ever.

After this I bummed around and got more tea till it was time for my next panel, Inside the Manga Industry. This featured five experts in the field: Mark De Vera, sales & marketing with Yen Press (and formerly Viz Media); Jani Olove, translator and editor with Kodansha; Julian Robinson, designer with Viz Media; Nikolas Draper-Ivey, artist on DC Comics’ Static and heavily manga-influenced; and independent artist Koyuki Panda, also heavily anime and manga influenced. They introduced themselves and then noted most of the panel would be a Q&A; audience asks questions, they give advice. Things got off to a bang up start with the first question, which was “what advice would you give your younger self”?

More than one person said “don’t go to art school”, which ended up occupying a lot of the panel as it turns out that several folks in the room are art school students. It was generally agreed that if you need to learn the fundamentals of the craft, it’s a good place to be, but in general a lot of the art schools tend to frown on heading in a manga/anime direction and they also don’t focus nearly as much on the business end of things as they should. This led to the other running theme of the panel, which was learning about business and knowing how contracts worked. Everyone recommended supplementing art school with business classes. Everyone also agreed another good piece of advice is “don’t give up”.

Marketing your work was discussed, and it was mentioned that even established companies can have difficulty using marketing as a tool. Trust in your own likes, and (admittedly) it helps to like things that are not just Shonen Jump – even if Koyuki Panda admitted that she was a huge fan of “the big three” back in the day. It’s mentioned that things are very different now than they were 10 years ago – there’s a lot more breadth to what’s coming out in manga publishing. In fact, when a trans woman asked if there were specific titles available, the panel was able to easily recommend Boys Run the Riot, an excellent choice. Hopefully the boom market will also mean more opportunity for manga-influenced artists in the future – publishers like Oni, Image and Viz were mentioned as being open to this sort of thing, and a non-Japanese title, Radiant, was namechecked.

The panel ended with the wonderful news that they would meet up at Koyuki Panda’s booth in Artist’s Alley and answer the questions from the people they didn’t have time to get to, which was great to hear, and the panel was interesting and inspiring all round. This ended my Friday, as I grabbed dinner and returned to the hotel. Tomorrow will be much busier, and hopefully will have less line.
