HERE WE GO! NEW CHAPTER IS GO! WOOOOOOOO!
Made the title pretty self-explanatory this go around. Also got Doris doing some stealth cosplay. Some would say that’s the BEST kind of cosplay!
And by some I mean a few.
And by a few I mean I don’t know. I don’t talk to people. Especially cosplayers all that much.

A cool thing about being a fan of old anime is that you’re always hearing about something you never knew even existed. And I don’t mean “oh, this show you missed out two years ago, which is ANCIENT by modern day anime fans, is old as fuck and you should check it out.” I’m talking about “Hey, here’s this two episode OVA that was made for this super famicom game in the early 90s that you NEVER fucking heard of despite the fact you’re 35 and have been an anime fan for over 25 years now.”
And this weekend it happened to me where I saw a bluesky skeet going “A lot of furries are anime fans but you never hear anyone ever talk about Murobo?” cued up with a clip of Kouryuu Densetsu Villgust. Boy oh BOY does it hit a bunch of check marks for me! That early 90s look, fantasy setting, cutesy looking characters, a cat girl, a swordswoman, and BOLD AS FUCK line work during sakuga moments? Sign me the fuck up!
In the story department it isn’t gonna blow your socks off. It’s a slice of a much more grand adventure featuring two groups of adventurers destined to form a large party to stop the big bad being tricked into fighting one another prior to meeting before realizing the error of their ways and joining forces. But man do I absolutely adore the look of it! Everyone’s got this semi-looking chibi look to them, except for Murobo, the large buff furry dude who can wreck your day up and not break a sweat who also looks cool as hell with this awesome set of armor. Then there’s that thick line work with that 70s crosshatching look you’d find in old Osamu Dezaki series that does it for me. I love it.
And Ryuquir is absolutely adorable! Just look at her! She’s an cute ball of energy! I love her!
The internet archive has the manga adaptation available to that I downloaded for some style practice down the road. As for a translated version of the anime there’s a torrent over at nyaa. If you like old fantasy anime you’ll enjoy it. Plus it being only 2 episodes means you can plow through it in under an hour. Good for a weekend anime snack!
That’s all for this week! I hope y’all have a great rest of the week and I’ll see you again this time with the first proper page of the new chapter!
Woo! New chapter! Super dynamic title card too.
Sounds like when I discovered there was a TMNT anime.
OT: Now there’s a cherry Dr. Pepper. Have you tried it?
Cherry Dr Pepper has always been around. I used to like diet cherry vanilla though I haven’t seen that in a while.
You’re right, I got confused because it has new packaging.
What is life and why is it being sliced.
