another old sketch. Just buying time until I have a big enough batch of new ones to scan.
Japanese Bird Dad is rebuilding his tumblr after a tragic accident involving him loving butts.
You should check him out.
Anonymous asked: They're aliens sending their souls into Japanese girls so that's why Sailor Moon had blond hair and blue eyes. Actually it's more like they just get the powers of their original moon selves and some memories but their personality stays the same. Also it effected the whole earth so now everyone is so dumb they're unable to tell Usagi from Sailor Moon because she wears a tiara
Okay, I’ll roll with that. I haven’t watched it in forever so my memory might be fuzzy, but how come those aliens from the Doom Tree arc were never like “oh fuck, she’s from the Moon Kingdom, we heard about that shit”?
I don’t think Chibiusa/Rini is a human. I think she’s some sort of sentient buttercream frosting golem.
Wait a minute. Are the Sailor Scouts technically aliens?

A pic from my old tumblr. That’s how Roshi do.
First you draw the peekchurs. Den you get de Bird Dad.
Anonymous asked: I think the worst thing about Mechanical Violator Hakaider was the choice to use realistic sound effects. So all the punching was soft thuds. Yes, that sure ruined all the action.
Dude, what about the climatic fight where Hakkaider is fighting that robot and for EVERY SINGLE PUNCH they make that loud *clang* sound effect and do that weird ripple.
Mechanical Violator Hakaider was a movie I really wanted to like, but even I have my limits.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Iria make a comeback. If Birdy The Mighty can get a new anime then why not Iria?

So who else is looking forward to Ghost in the Shell: Arise?
It looks like it’s taking some visual cues from the Oshii movie with a slightly sickly looking Kusanagi and limbs being torn.
It’s weird how Kusanagi changes from comic to movie to TV. Not to mention the cut scenes in the PS1 game are the only animated interpretation that actually looks like Shirrow’s art.

Don’t you wish you could be as happy as this girl piloting a mech?
