Junpei: Talon

I’m not into anime much, I’ve seen a few, and I like it, but its not something Im into hardcore. I’ve always heard how great Akira is, and its one of those movies I just haven’t gotten around to seeing

Long story short, I loved it, theres some stuff I honestly didn’t really get, like the source of everyones powers, but overall the movie was great. Amazing artwork, and although it’s obviously dated, its dated in the best way possible. Amazing action and truly terrifying visuals at some points. All the characters were interesting, and it was amazing to see how a teenage biker gang were put into a secret government supernatural science fiction type plot without it being unbelievable and cheesy.

It had really great dark anti-authoritarian themes, and I liked how there was never really a true villain or true hero, all the characters had clear motives, flaws, and virtues.

I definitely recommend to anyone, even if you don’t like anime, and I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for more movies like this.

The official video for Flobots’ new single “Quarantine”. 

Flobots’ Emcee Brer Rabbit created the video using footage from the 1988 classic Anime film Akira. Brer Rabbit, a fan of Akira creator Katsuhiro Otomo, discovered the movie as a teen from a bootleg VHS, which in his own words, changed his life forever. 

“The colors, the characters, the MUSIC, the message,” states Brer Rabbit, “Otomo painted a vision of the future in dark strokes, the constant clash for power, the eradication of information to control the narrative, how our monsters and heroes are homemade, and ultimately that children will be the ones who will have to pay the price.”  

Seeing the parallel themes in Flobots’ song “Quarantine”, Brer Rabbit was inspired to “dust off [his] old Otaku chops and make an Anime music video”. 

Sooooo I was taking a break from my comics and what not and decided to draw this. I didn’t want to leave you all Hanging~ Anyway! I don’t really have much to say about this…. but I hope you like it! Also i am sorry I haven’t posted much. A lot of it is either classwork or NDA stuff. I’ve also been working on a video game and comic book so there’s not a lot I can show atm. I will be making a kickstarter for the game eventually, but this is going to take a very long time.

Here’s some art I did for new Undertale Musical That is Up and Running~! Here’s the trailer!  And here’s the video with the art! 

The song has yet to be released.

I had to do these really fast, there’s a lot more I wanted to do and fix.
