Hi all, today, I want to write about something which is part of PGSM (LA), but maybe some people are not aware that it exists since 2004. I just start a citation of the Kirari Super Live Wikimoon page (source): Kirari Super Live was a live-action musical performance starring the cast of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. It was held May 2, 2004 at Yomiuri Hall. [..] Attendance at the event was limited to the winners of the "Sailor Moon Campaign." To enter the contest, people sent in proof-of-purchase symbols from PGSM merchandise that they had purchased, and a lucky few (approximately 1,000) winners were selected from the entries. The whole show (The video I linked is almost 1 hour 15 minutes long) is imo a "must watch" for fans of PGSM. My thanks go: To the whole team responsible for the show, the people responsible for the original DVD that Ryuusei Fansubs used as a source, the Ryuusei Fansubs team for providing the subs and Martin Franco Becerril for uploading the video to Youtube. If my tags or anything else is not appropriate, please let me know in the comments.

top 5 manga authors >:)

This isn't really a top because I can't rate them one above the other ... Instead it'll be some authors who really influence me

My absolute favorite manga author is obviously Taiyo Matsumoto. I've read five of his series and been to art exhibits, seen artbooks and interviews online... Writing is what hooked me to his work first, by how natural his characters were in their dialog, behavior and interactions, but also how kindly written they were despite most of them being complex fuckups at the edges of society. His art also rules though, as someone who grew up on BD and varies art styles a lot it blew my mind that his process is based on those two things. My man. His work is so above everything else I read on the regular I would encourage any manga fan to try it

Second one I'll name is Naoki Urasawa. I'm a fake fan because I've only read a single of his series, but his art and specifically his linework and faces have been so big to my own art for over a decade I am surprised nobody called me out for ripping him off. I have three of his series on my to-read list I really gotta get to it

....Mr Togashi.....again fake fan I've only read HxH and seen a little bit of YYH but man. They are so different and yet share an unmistakable vibe of adventure, fun and discovery that blasts my brain with childlike whimsy, and this two seconds before the writing pulls out some clever, alien horrific concept. It's the essence of shonen fun at incredibly potent levels and I love it. I also do love his art, which gets better and better. Not a fan of his designs but they DO have an iconic style.

Ryoko Kui: again I've only read one thing of hers but her attention to detail that feed her design and character philosophy is ridiculously up my alley. Her artwork is incredibly solid, not many master anatomy (including animal), architecture, action and expression work, but she does and it owns. Once dungeon meshi finishes I am going to be waiting for her next thing like a wagging dog at your ankles when you're carrying out the bbq meat

And the last that might be a surprise for my following given I talk little about him... Hiroyuki Asada. A long running influence of mine, his style is extremely elegant and dips into lovely stylization. I love his watercolors and the unmistakable vibe of what he draws. Unfortunately my favorite thing he worked on was an aborted 30yo series who's physical edition doesn't exist in my country, but that single book of manga overcomes me with inspiration when I read it. The only major series I read by him has a lot of flaws but I can't deny how important his work has been to my life

[tsuki-sennin]

Japan's current greatest soap opera, Avataro Sentai Donbrothers! It's not just a Tsubasa episode, but a Sononi episode, more importantly! What shall come of this incredibly turgid passion play of a dog and a condor that I just simply cannot stop watching? What's Murasame-kun's deal? And most importantly, will Haruka attain her driver's license?! Only one way to find out~!

Spoilers, I guess...

-Ah,

-"How do love work???" I've been asking myself that for years, Miss.

-Ohhhhhhhhhh... I forgot about... the penguin.

-You'd better be holding out, Jirou.

-Here we see Sonoza, evolving into a master swordsman just like a manga.

-...or, I suppose Murasame just needs some time to himself, that's wonderful of him.

-"Mother, I crave violence."

-I've actually been doing the dance in my off time, it's really difficult but fun to try and get right.

-Oh that's cute, Haruka's helmet has an oni on it :)

-Oniga Mirai!

-Is the town we're in called "Oniga"? Mirai, Mirai, Mirai... Timeranger?

-Ohhhhh, Haruka's got Mad Racer Baron drivin', don't she?

-...I mean, Naoto's actor is in Geats so I'm not exactly surprised...

-Oh yeah, Haruka's an adult now. Trust me, it ain't getting any easier.

-Ohhhhh, I feel that Haruka. I'm 21 and I still don't wanna get my license. My permit is gonna expire soon too...

-OH MY GOD, HARUKA YOU KILLED THE LADY IN THE TOMORROW RESEARCH JACKET

-Oh, she's alive

-Oh hey Tsubasa! I forgot, you were the reason I was so excited for this episode.

-"Murasame! Kill him!"

-Nooooo, my blorbos are fighting!

-SAN SHARK!

-Ohhhh, he down

-Hello, Sononi.

-"The blorbo from my show is dying. If I cannot see his progress climax in a happy ending, then I shall write his death with my own feather quill instead of Sir Inoue's!"

-Can't do it, huh?

-Even when doomed to die, he still thinks so hard about her.

-Wait, you can't see?

-Sononi, no, don't do that.

-SONONI WHAT THE FUCK

-INOUE

-Oh hey, that's Hiroyuki Matsumoto! He played Nephrite in the live action Sailor Moon show and Gamel in OOO!

-Both shows by Yasuko Kobayashi and appearing in an episode that's a tribute to a Sentai also by Kobayashi, funny that.

-Braceless.

-Haruka, did you learn how to drive from Spongebob?

-Very professional, sensei!

-If only we had walkable cities all over the world, smh

-She's a bird, Tsubasa.

-You don't know, huh?

-Blind Doggy

-Murasame-kun doesn't stand for catfishing.

-"Mother, why has my friend betrayed me? :("

-Don't think! Feel!

-Sounds like absolutely horrendous advice for driving, but

-YOU WEREN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE GOING BACKWARDS OMFG

-Tsubasa was starstruck, huh?

-How kind of him.

-I really have to wonder how Murasame-kun's viewing all this.

-Shark attack-!

-Pachelbel's Canon?

-STAB

-OH SHIT HERE COMES SEYAMA

-You can't call the cops! He IS the cops!

-Okay Sononi, you're kinda making up for all that.

-OH HI TSUYOSHI

-Your wife has an umbrella and a car, doesn't she? ...on second thought, it looks pretty terrible out there, I'd wanna stay home too.

-Hello Crane Lady! That other bird (literal, and metaphorical by "woman" slang definition) from Ideon Tsubasa's entangled with got stabbed and clawed!

-Tsubasa's so desperate to be with Natsumi again, he just "hugs" her without a second thought...

-Yeah, you feel bad, huh Sononi?

-OH THE DOG CAN SEE NOW

-Ooooooh, he's mad!

-Yeah, that's totally reasonable

-And so the dog and bird run off into the storm.

-AND HARUKA'S STILL FUCKING DRIVING

-HARUKA I WAS KIDDING WHEN I SAID "MAD RACER BARON" ARE YOU ON FUCKING CRACK

-Y'know, there were probably like a bajillion other ways you could've gotten that info out of him.

-YOU FUCKING RAN HIM OVER YOU MONSTER

-ONI SISTER!

-"She slammed that car into you. Kill her harder."

-Drive-by! Hit the deck!

-This is fantastic.

-"Mother. I must recharge my batteries. It is nap time."

-Ohhhhh, that's not good. Seyama got the sword.

-Hello, Miraiki!

-Oh, everybody's here!

-Hello, Tarou! Your show has not had you in it yet today!

-Shinichi, Jirou!

-Yeah nice headbutt InuBrother. Totally knocked somebody out.

-LET'S GO, SONONI!

-Daaaaamn, you got him!

-Okay, okay, okay!

-Okay! Okay!

-Taken out of a dramatic moment by time

-Oh shit, time warp.

-Oh, never mind!

-We're just...

-Doing this now!

-That was fruitless!

-Okay!

-"I'll serve you this time instead!"

-Ninja Dog now has Ninja Shark!

-"Kill Crane Lady, and your one true love will return."

-Ohhhh, her eyes be glowin'

-Good on you this episode Sononi, you were great even if you didn't get to really fight today.

-Haruka can now drive!

-Legally.

-"RUN MY COMPANIONS!"

-Christmaaaaas~!

-Wait

-OH MY GOD, THE NOTO ARE SANTA

-Like

-Collectively.

-That's very nice of them :)

-Hahaha! Christmas Festival is coming soooooon~!

My #1 post of 2022

The additional cast of "Kamen Rider OOO 10th Resurrection Core Medal" has been unveiled!

Yusuke Yamada as Uva, Taito Hashimoto as Kazari, Honoka Maki as Mezuru, and Hiroyuki Matsumoto as Gamel, who played the human form of the familiar monster Greed in the TV series, will appear. Due to the strong presence of each of them from the time of broadcasting, the appearances of the four people who gained popularity despite being enemies will further satisfy the fans' desire for the new work. In addition, it has been decided that Satoshi Hino, who played the role of Purgatory Anjuro in "Kimetsu no Yaiba", will play the voice of the new Greed Gouda born from the artificial core medal.

comments from the casts below:

Yusuke Yamada / Uva

Recently, it was renamed to "Yusuke Yamada". I can't forget the throbbing of my chest when I wore the same green leather jacket for the first time in 10 years. Attention is the amount of desire that has been released a little more than 10 years ago! Don't look too much there! But did you want to watch the main story? By all means, go to the theater!

Taito Hashimoto / Kazari

I am very happy that I was involved in this work, which is loved even after about 10 years, and that I have returned over time. I am very grateful to this work for making it exist as a Kazari! I hope you will continue to support Kamen Rider OOO in the future.

Honoka Miki / Mezuru

I was surprised that I could be in my favorite OOO for the first time in 10 years, and I didn't expect to be able to do Mezuru again, so I was really, really, really! I was happy! When it was decided to release the work, there were many fans who were looking forward to the appearance of Mezuru, and I was happy that I was loved so much over time. I myself am looking forward to Ooo's return. Please look forward to the release!

Hiroyuki Matsumoto / Gamel

I'm just grateful that everyone was able to participate in this work for the first time in 10 years. While I was happy, I was worried that it was the first time in 10 years, but during the shooting, I had the pleasure of slipping back in time, and it was a really happy time. We hope that you will enjoy and miss Ooo 10 years from now.

Satoshi Hino / Gouda (voice)

This time, I was in charge of Gouda's voice in Kamen Rider OOO 10th! It is a great honor to be able to participate in such a memorable movie version as it is the first new work of Ooo in 10 years. I've been watching Ooo since the TV series, so I'm trying my best to express my love for Ooo. Please enjoy yourself.

Tonight on "The Yakai". Today's episode of "The Yakai" airs tonight at 22.00. p.m. on european time and 15.00. p.m. on Israel time on "TBS".

The #WEST group member #daikishigeoka after eight wins lost for the first time last episode. 😨🚴‍♂

Actress Wakana Matsumoto tries to perform the "croissant" challenge: ‼. Matsumoto was in tears after her latest attempt at a "100-second quick change" ended miserably....

This time, we're backtracking on one strategy and taking on a challenging croissant 😏🥐.

A member of the #Baikingu #kotogeeiji duo challenges the "Tsukkomi kirinuki don" ‼💥1154 Challenge Challenge with ten questions from the programme! Will he be able to recall his own lucky guesses? ⁉

Enjoy... 𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆

[enriquemzn262]

For the people asking for the mangakas:

Eiichiro Oda (One Piece), Hirohiko Araki (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), Gege Akutami (JJK),Takehiko Inoue (Slam Dunk), Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto), Yoshihiro Togashi (Hunter x Hunter), Kohei Horikoshi (My Hero Academia), Yusuke Murata (One Punch Man - as illustrator), Yoichi Takahashi (Captain Tsubasa),Yūki Tabata (Black Clover), Hideaki Sorachi (Gintama), Takeshi Obata (Death Note), Naoya Matsumoto (Kaiju No. 8), Takeshi Konomi (The Prince of Tennis),Sui Ishida (Tokyo Ghoul), Daisuke Ashihara (World Trigger), Yūsei Matsui (Assassination Classroom),Tenya Yabuno (Inazuma Eleven), Hiroyuki Takei (Shaman King), Kaiu Shirai & Posuka Demizu (The Promised Neverland), Tsukasa Hojo (City Hunter), Kazue Kato (Blue Exorcist), Kentaro Yabuki (To Love Ru), Yasuhiro Nightow (Trigun), Tadatoshi Fujimaki (Kuroko's Basketball), Katsura Hoshino (D.Gray-man), Shinya Suzuki (Mr. Fullswing), Haruto Umezawa (Hareluya II Boy), Takeshi Okano (Jigoku Sensei Nube), Yoko Kamio (Boys Over Flowers), Jigoku no Misawa (Tenshi no Drop), Sho Makura (Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne - as writer), Katsunori Matsui (Neko Majin), Daisuke Moriyama (Chrono Crusade), Takayuki Yamaguchi (Shigurui), Mikio Ito (Normandy Secret Club).

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.

Lexus "Next Chapter" from Caleb Slain on Vimeo.

Use headphones!  IG: @calebslain

5 productions. 4 countries. 3 continents. This sonic experience is the reveal film for the first ever Lexus all-electric car. The creative challenge was to express the imperceptible side of nature through sound, exemplifying the erosion between driver and natural world. Logistically, this was my first time directing any part of a shoot remotely (about 75% remote), which at one point involved directing two productions in Japan and Thailand simultaneously. Very fun challenge, made possible by the extraordinary talent who contributed around the globe. 

Friends have asked how much of the footage we filmed ourselves, so I’ll come out and say there are THREE shots in this video we licensed and modified instead of filmed. See if you can guess them!
