what files do you use to make gifs? they're very smooth and pretty 😢

Thank you! 💙

I used MakeMKV to convert my Blu-ray discs to mkv files.

UPDATE After I ripped them with MakeMKV I ran the MKV files through HandBrake. That gets rid of the black bars as well as makes the file size considerably smaller. I don't remember if I changed any of the default settings other than changing the format to MKV.

I use MPV Player to take one png for every frame of the moment I want. The link goes to a tutorial on how to set it up.

Then I use Krita to turn those screenshots into gifs. Adding filters and such.

I could go into more details if you want (though it might take me a while) but that's the basics. If you have any specific questions I could answer those as well.

Although I'm not a big Himitsu no Akko-chan fan, I do really love her compacts from both the 60's and 80's series.

However my favorite is probably the Holy Grail/Rainbow Moon Chalice from Sailor Moon, specifically the 90's anime version! It's just so cool and I'm glad I finally own two different versions of it.

I keep hearing Togashi originally planned the ending of Three Kings to be an all out war arc that Kuwabara would come back for, but I can’t find anything from Togashi or anything to confirm. Is any of it true?

If not, how would you have changed the Three Kings arc?

I've heard something similar, but I've never seen Togashi saying anything like that in any interview. I doubt that's true. He wanted to end Yu Yu Hakusho right after Yusuke fought Sensui, because he was already exhausted at this point, and had already explored every possible direction for the yyh characters. So, JUMP and Togashi agreed on having six more months to conclude the series.

Maybe, that's because in Yoshirin de Pon he says he had the idea to start deconstructing the characters, something Jump turned down, so people started to assume he wanted to do an all out war similar to what he's been doing in the Succession Contest Arc in Hunter x Hunter? I have no idea how this rumor started.

"If I ever manage to have a long serialization in Jump, I will end it on my own terms". That's what the man said. I beg everyone to read the "Yoshirin de Pon!" interview to understand more about his feelings at the end of the Yu Yu Hakusho series.

I think the all out war arc with Kuwabara is something people wanted, not Togashi. At the end of the bunkoban edition (2011), when letters arrived asking for more Yu Yu Hakusho content, Togashi replied with a short comic, killing most of the main characters and showing he was really done with Yu Yu Hakusho.

I don't think I would have changed the 3 Kings Arc. Sometimes, I think I would have wanted a war, then it would be an arc focused more on Kurama, my favorite character. But, Yusuke wouldn't have much space in a cold war, full of military strategy. I believe tournaments and face-to-face confrontations suit more the spirit of Yu Yu Hakusho, and that's one of the reasons Togashi wanted to end it, to avoid repeating the same storylines over and over.

But, now I am curious, how would you all have changed the Three Kings Arc?

@brickme

can authors refuse to draw for the anniversary of another manga without consequences?

It’s really poetic how today a bunch of mangakas decided to collaborate with convicted pedophile Nobuhiro Watsuki, author of Rurouni Kenshin, and among them WASN’T Chainsaw Man author Tatsuki Fujimoto, who instead released a chapter today in which a character would rather face certain death than harm children.

In an industry filled with pedos and sex degenerates, Fujimoto stands as that author who just wants to draw big booty dominating gals in their 30’s kicking ass and being deadly.

Here's trivia for Cutie Honey episode 14: Ah, The Last Day of School.

Screenwriter: Masaki Tsuji

Art Director: Mataharu Urata

Animation Director: Eiji Uemura

Director: Kazukiyo Shigeno

The episode title could possibly be a reference to When Worlds Collide. In Japan, it's known as "The Last Day of Earth" or 地球最後の日. Thanks to @brickme for the heads up!

In addition to the Elvis and National Geographic posters in Honey and Natsuko’s room, there is another that says “Musik, Mante Banye.” Mante Banye is probably a botched transliteration for “Mantovani,” as in the famed musical conductor and composer, Annunzio Paolo Mantovani.

Thanks to Switchpoint for the heads up!

Danbei mentions Sanada Yukimura, also known as Sanada Nobushige, who was a samurai from the Sengoku period. He’s probably most famous for being the leading general on the defending side of the Siege of Osaka.

As the school begins burning to the ground, Pochi jumps up and yells “Nippon Chinbotsu!” or “Japan Sinks!” This is a reference to the 1973 disaster novel of the same name by Sakyo Komatsu. 

In the next scene, Miharu wonders if there’s a revolution or internecine violence happening. The term she uses is uchi geba (内ゲバ)  which comes from the Japanese word uchi for “within” and the German word gewalt for “violence.” Miharu is likely referring to the student protests that occurred at Japanese universities during the late 60’s.

This is the only episode in which Honey doesn't kill anyone.

See you next week!

There was a name for that, they had reds and blues, right?

@brickme do you remember the name of this inking process?

Here are some images from the body of the first chapter, or first “act,” of Nanako SOS (ななこSOS). This is one of those manga chapters that is partially in this three-color format. I wonder if that has a proper name in Japanese.

brickme replied to your post ...

lol you’re free to interpret her work the way you wish, but you don’t get to infer what her intentions were just because you disagree with what she has to say. That’s what you’re doing in your post: not saying YOU interpret it that way, but rather inferring what Yoshida MUST have meant to do, according to you.

My point is, that her intentions are suspect, because what a person says, and what a person really means are not often the same, especially what a person says in public, when it will reflect on their work, career and reputation.  So the only thing you can only ever be sure of is their work.  And you can especially see that if what they say, and what they produce are at odds.

And I say that of every artist, even if I agree with them, in fact especially if I agree with them.
