So, I've now seen "Godzilla: King of the Monsters". It was as much fun as I'd hoped. Fantastic monster battles, an incredible and terrifying Ghidorah design, some darkly beautiful imagery... Oh, and the return of the Akira Ifukube theme made me squee ( Read more... )

Just some more fannish rambling from me. Just as I was getting excited by the latest trailer for "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" (man, so much Dissonant Serenity in that music), mintysage pointed me at these. They're adorable ( Read more... )

So, some quick reaction comments on the latest chapter of Ao no/Blue Exorcist, Chapter 110.

Spoilers will follow.

First, is my timing good or what? I got out a ficlet about Shiemi's plight just before the manga re-visited it! Though there's no conclusion yet, so... C'mon, Shiemi! There's still time to pull a Rin on them ( Read more... )

The pages are indeed high quality and glossy, and they seem to be restoring all of the color art that appeared in the original magazine publication.

Real life hasn't been fun lately, but at least there's been some fannish goodness going on.

For starters, the birthday happened, and I received this wondermous collection of Kazue Kato's color art. Finally a full-size artbook from one of my favorite manga artists! And, naturally, it's mostly Ao no/Blue Exorcist" material with some gorgeous ( Read more... )

It's been forever, but, yes, the SWAT Kats Fan Art Page has been updated too! There's five new pieces from new artist, Cody.

Also, in other SWAT Kat-related chatter, I finally made a little display spot for my SK merchandise. It's a nice little corner where the sun can't reach that I recently cleaned out. And, there's also this alternate ( Read more... )
