Lots of new Watchers since last time. Welcome! Thanks for being here. Now I own your souls. Bwahaha.

This is your LAST CHANCE to make suggestions for the Anime Injustice Gang in this thread: [link] I've got 4-5 members locked down, a few others as posibilites, and am currently looking for characters that would act as good counterpoints to Astro Boy and Sailor Moon (Not Atlas or Queen Berril). I want to finish this artwork before the year ends, so help me out! [link]

So what's the deal with the anime haters showing up around here? I've gotten a couple people leaving comments saying that they hate anime and that anime fans are stupid. One guy later regreted it but another took it to a major extreme and started to open up phoney accounts just to harass me after he wound up banned. It was pretty messed up! Hey, if you don't like anime, whatever. Different strokes and all that. But kindly leave me alone, focus on your own artwork, and don't lump me in with whatever inconsequential nonsense makes you think you hate anime so much.

Then, on the other end of the spectrum, last month I was alerted to an eBay auction of a hand-crafted Astro Boy bookmark that was made using my artwork! You can read more about that here:[link]
So basically all my life I've had people telling me that my artwork sucks, that it doesn't look like "real" anime, that I shouldn't be teaching, and so on. Then I've got people using my artwork as a platform to spread their anti-anime message, saying that anime sucks and I must be stupid for liking anime without actually talking at all about the artwork, which I have to assume they feel looks like authentic anime because otherwise they wouldn't have said anything. And on top of that, there was someone who thought my artwork was good enough to steal and try to sell on eBay without letting me know. And not just any artwork, but artwork of Astro Boy, the original anime superstar. Clearly, some mixed signals here!

Speaking of Astro, you have got to go see the movie! It's a good family film that has an edge to it, with some cool action and interesting social commentary. The critics who didn't like it missed the point entirely. Go watch it and stay tuned to Astro Boy World [link] for a chance to post your own reviews as well as a cool upcoming surprise.

Sayonara.
