Icon commissions are available on my brand new Ko-fi page! Get 'em while they're hot.

Donations are open as well. If you ever wanted to give me five dollars, well. Now you can.

I'm still learning the Ko-fi interface, so I'm starting simple with icon commissions. That being said, I hope to offer more types of commissions very soon. Please feel free to let me know what sort of offerings you'd like to see from me in the future.

Some of you already know that the last few years have been pretty rough for me, health-wise. It's been a while since I was able to offer commissions. Things are getting better, though. My newfound ability to sit in a chair and draw is all thanks to physical therapy, medication, and my lovely friends and family. Just wanted to use this chance to say thank you to those irreplaceable people. 🩷💛🩵 Thanks as well to the folks who helped me get my sea legs back by commissioning me privately. I appreciate you!

he really is a troublesome pet tho lmao, not a social cue in sight with him (I 100% think he's just autistic as fuuuck, like Vegeta picks up on them and chooses to ignore them. Goku tho? nah lmao). Honestly tho I agree, he really is just an idiot puppy that she picked up and took home with her, and despite all her aggravations with him, she knows she doesn't have to worry about him flirting with anyone else even if he's gone for literally years for a tournament or training or anything cuz he's just that dense. He'll show up after years of being in space, say something like "yeah I just kicked God's ass," eat a meal that could feed a small army (honestly same tho, iconic) and then be like "I need to fight in a tournament that'll decide if our universe gets to keep existing byyeeee" and be gone for another few years.

I think it's a real shame we don't get to see more about how Bulma tamed Vegeta tho, cuz Z really jumps over that. Vegeta is literally the stray cat that hisses and anything and everything, got lured in with some food, and is like, only sorta warm to his wife.

I know we all like to compare Vegeta to a very expensive purebred cat or dog and Goku to a big orange thing that got lured into the house with food

But like

I think that’s the opposite of how their wives see them

Chichi: this is Goku, he’s a world champion martial artist who defeated a demon king. I had to fight in a tournament myself to get him and now he can do tricks and farm!

Bulma: this is Vegeta, he’s a genocidal space monkey with anger management problems. I lured him into my house with shrimp on a string and now he barely even scratches the furniture!

Anime Spotlight #2: Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door (2001)

Happy Halloween! Acquired Stardust's second anime spotlight caps off our two-part Halloween spotlight special. Join Ash for a look back at her favorite Halloween movie to celebrate the season.

Growing up, September ushered in my favorite time of year. Summer heat began to give way to the chill of an upstate New York fall and before you knew it October was here, the gateway to the holiday season, which meant a constant rotation of Halloween movies on the living room television which my mom would have on at virtually all hours of the day. Little traditions like that have colored my early childhood and remained something I enjoy keeping up and coming up with new ones. Eventually, I was overjoyed to be able to share my own favorite Halloween movie with my mother one year when we sat down to watch this together, and I distinctly remember her enjoying it and especially taking a liking to the lovable catlike hacker Radical Edward, a very popular and enduring character actually based on series composer Yoko Kanno. But perhaps we're getting a little ahead of ourselves.

Sometimes getting the band back together isn't all it's cracked up to be. People change. Sometimes creative desires diverge. For many bands there are distinct before and afters. Cowboy Bebop, with director/creator Shinichiro Watanabe's process of thinking of his works in the context of music, was a hell of a series. Anime conquered the west in several steps, from the college campuses importing laserdiscs to Toonami and then Adult Swim, Cowboy Bebop holds a special place in that movement particularly as a bridge for the uninitiated - because it was heavily inspired by western media and of an extremely high quality people into anime often used it to bring those unfamiliar into the fold to great success. Cowboy Bebop has a pretty enduring legacy of not just being the favorite anime of many, but also being the first anime of many who were turned off by the more battle shonen stylings of Dragonball Z that had swept countless youth up into anime fandom in the early 2000s. It's inspired countless people in their own creative endeavors such as the late Monty Oum of Haloid, Dead Fantasy and RWBY fame, and Adult Swim classic The Boondocks also featured tributes. The recent Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade also features an unmistakable musical allusion to Yoko Kanno's work on the series in a chase scene backed by a several-movement jazz track.

Sometimes it's hard for a band to recapture exactly what made it so special in its heyday, but that's absolutely not the case for Knockin' on Heaven's Door, the movie released in 2001 in Japan. Much of what makes the original series work so well, such as an iconic soundtrack and impeccable script, not just returns for the movie but is in top form. A large cast of distinct characters, including several introduced in this movie, are all utilized very effectively. Iconic anime dubbing studio Animaze knocks it out of the park yet again with not only returning actors reprising some of the most iconic roles in all of English-language dubbing but also impresses with Dave Wittenberg as hacker Lee Samson and even the rare anime role from Jennifer Hale before she became quite as ubiquitous as she is now.

Animation and art direction are in top form as well, with plenty of attractive uses of lighting and the framing of shots. Small details such as the hair or clothes blowing in the wind or the falling of an ashtray aboard the spaceship Bebop manage to be almost as impressive as some of the mesmerizing fight scenes. There are also some extremely dynamic uses of the point of view even in slower exposition scenes. You've also got the soundtrack that sees series composer Yoko Kanno return with plenty of the iconic and bombastic jazz the series is known for along with some other auditory treats, and vocalist Mai Yamane also returns for two tracks that are among her best contributions to the series which really says a lot.

Set largely between Halloween and the day before culminating in a tense action sequence at a Halloween parade, Knockin' on Heaven's Door sees the bounty hunting crew of the spaceship Bebop attempt to catch a large bounty in the wake of a mysterious terrorist attack on a freeway. Each character splinters off in their own direction as is series standard, chasing down their own individual leads through their own processes which helps to illustrate not only why this crew contrasts so well in its very distinct members but also showcases a strength of the series in its oozing of characterization with action and dialogue alike.

The captivating push and pull of dialogue between characters that the series is known for is never stronger than in this film, which is a real testament to not only the talents of the late frequent Watanabe collaborator Keiko Nobumoto but the returning writer-voice director duo of Marc Handler and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, respectively, along with the incredible voice cast. There is a reason that Cowboy Bebop is widely believed to have one of if not the strongest English language dubs of any anime, and while other examples in that upper echelon come to mind for me I find it hard to disagree with anyone who finds it to indeed be the finest. Remarkable parity between the television series and movie is a common thread, and the movie even features a number of long running cameos, at least one of which pays off in a big way.

For anime fans of a certain age, Cowboy Bebop is held with an extreme reverence and often tops the list of favorites. While it may not be my personal favorite, it's pretty high up there. Regardless it's impossible to dispute the sheer quality in every single aspect of the series, and Knockin' on Heaven's Door exemplifies so many of the strengths of the series at an impressive feature-length runtime. It's also a tradition around our house to watch this every Halloween in celebration, inspired by all the movie marathons around my house growing up. The stunned silence I watched this film in for the very first time as a child will be something I never forget, and it goes without saying that it's my favorite Halloween movie pretty easily. Hopefully it will be an experience you don't forget any time soon either.

A gem hidden among the stones, Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door is undoubtedly stardust.

-Ash

I read *all* of Dragonball/Dragonball Z while I was on my end of year vacation and here are my thoughts

I read the colorized version which was a treat. I wish pages that were originally done in watercolor were preserved but I understand for consistency sake they just recolored everything. I found the style of coloring (colors selected, shading) was very true to Toriyama's style

The art is generally very fun with lots of iconic character designs. The backgrounds get scanter as things go along though

The story is generally compelling, though shallow (how are we gong to beat his guy?? train!!). For a shonen manga aimed at the adolescent boy demographic it's fine

I think originally Dragonball is more fun but the Saiyan through android arcs are pretty good

I <3 the androids

The Buu arc goes waaaay to long. Regenerate less

Though the part where fat Buu is nice to the blind kid and the dog were a great break from the usual fight and train cycles

Master Roshi is def one of those old nasty perv characters, but he actually does have a character beyond that? It could've been toned down a lot (the whole getting Launch to live with him is just kinda grody)

The absolute weakest transition point in the series is the jump from DB to DBZ. Oh here's this guy from space and he's and alien? Also, btw, Goku you are an alien

It's really wild that there's like one page of backstory that explains that Freeza killed nearly all the Saiyans and then that is never again explored in the manga

I liked when dudes were exploded and their face go like 𐽙_⚆

This series is super influential on basically every fighting shonen manga that came after it. Also Steven Universe because with both the fusions and a lot of the villains becoming reformed

I would recommend it to other people, esp anyone who already likes reading shonen but idk if you need to read the *whole* thing

I gave DBS a try for a few chapters and it didn't grab me. If one of you wants to convince me to give it a second try I'll listen
