Here are a couple of pics from the original Billy & Mandy Bible that I found. The whole thing (including roughs) is on my Patreon. The original outline is up there too.

Eris was there the whole time! :o

I'm also still selling B&M (and other) stuff on eBay. There are original concept pieces, character art, comic pages, cels, VHS, DVDs, and other fancy stuff.

Support flesh and bone artists! 🖤🤘💀🤘🖤

‼️WARNING FOR POKEMON HORIZONS‼️

please be careful when viewing anything in relation to horizons, apparently the entire plot and everything relevant in the storyline has been leaked and is now out there. i have not seen anything outside of a single image spread on twt, but i’ve seen multiple posts confirming that the plot has been leaked (i was very close to seeing a major plot spoiler bc of twt’s algorithm, i only didn’t see it bc i immediately left the app)

let’s not spread anything out of respect for the anipoke staff who have been working hard on the show

I haven't been able to stop thinking about Ichi the Witch all day for one specific reason:

I have no idea how the title could have been better translated

The Japanese title is Madan no Ichi (魔男のイチ), where Madan is a clear play on Majo (魔女), which effectively translates to "magic woman." This makes Madan "magic man," which as far as I can find isn't a word in Japanese at all

The intention is obviously that Ichi is a male witch, but there is no term for male witch in English that quite captures how unheard of this concept is in context. We could call him a warlock or a wizard, but if the idea is that men can't use magic at all, then having those terms doesn't make sense in the first place, they're contextually impossible

We could call him "witch boy" or "witch man," but that's inelegant at best and just kinda stupid at worst. You can't call him a "Witcher," cus that's copyrighted. You could use the original Old English term for witch, wicce, and go with the masculine wicca, but calling the series Ichi the Wicca both carries a lot of strong religious connotations and still fails to capture the feeling of uniqueness within the setting

The funniest thing about this line of thought, though, is that you just know there was a point where the translator was sitting at their desk, head in hands, surrounded by crumpled-up papers on the floor that all had the word "MANWITCH" scribbled over in red ink a thousand times

Can you give more context and you opinion to the idea that toei wants to “unify” the digimon brand? (See replies)

I still have a huge backlog of asks to get through (and unfortunately I don't have time to answer all of them at this moment), and I'm sorry about that!...but this one is a bit timing-sensitive, so I'll get it out of the way right now. In short, I think people are taking this way out of proportion; it's a blanket statement about their marketing strategy, and not much more than that.

The reason I say this is timing-sensitive is because they said this at around the same time they're becoming a lot more diligent about acknowledging non-Adventure series for the anime 25th anniversary and even properly integrating Appmon on the Digimon site for once. It's easy to have a strong impression of what the Digimon brand is made up of when you're a fan who's been neck deep in everything since 2002, but for most average people -- from the most mainstream of mainstream casuals to people who like Digimon but are somewhat on the fringe of the franchise rather than knowing everything -- there's kind of a sense of poor awareness of what this franchise is made up of or how they're supposed to be tied together rather than just "they work off the same encyclopedia" or something.

This is something that I'll let others who are bigger fans of the relevant franchises chip in with, but compared to other kids' franchises with a history as varied and extensive as Digimon (Kamen Rider, PreCure, etc.), Digimon has been really bad about presenting itself with cohesiveness. For frame of comparison, if you look at stuff the Kamen Rider franchise regularly puts out, like this anniversary logo they used a few years ago:

Every Kamen Rider series is as unique and individualized as a given Digimon series (perhaps even more?), but on a marketing and branding level, Toei and Bandai are much better at selling each series and work as a part of a greater "Kamen Rider" whole rather than just keeping them as disconnected fragmented parts that just happen to be part of the same franchise.

So most likely, what "brand unity" means is that they're planning on addressing this problem by being more clear in their marketing and categorization and presenting Digimon as a "brand" rather than a bunch of loosely connected individual works, so that if people get into one thing they'll be more inclined to check out the others or will be more conscious of the brand's history. For us who are already hardcore fans, this isn't really that relevant; at most, it means there's a good likelihood they'll be more diligent about acknowledging non-Adventure series and less popular entries, since they'll be allowed to tag along with the core unit, which is most certainly a good thing!
