	| First| Prev | Next |Last | Love Situations #127 "Tsundere 54" (Story Arc: Tsundere) | First| Prev | Next |Last | "Tsundere 54" by Akira (2008-01-16) I'm uploading only one comic strip per week... I need to improve my performance a bit. I forced myself to draw today in order to flash all the links and rants from the top page. Currently I'm also working on the pOnju anthology. I began inking and I hope I can finish 20 pages (-_-;) by March deadline... I'll do my best. I'm upgrading TC site. It might be interesting to surf through pages a bit. You might be able to find something interesting. Please write your comment to this strip at pOnju forum Interesting Links Soul Eater Anime Series - New Bones TV anime series based on the manga will be aired from this spring. Series is directed by Takuya Igarashi who did "Ouran Highschool Host Club". It should be good. (Official Homepage) Girl1 - It's interesting to see how other artists draw. More: Girl2 and Girl3. (artist website)

	"Testing Uploading Rant Image" by Akira (2008-01-18) I upgraded the rant script, now it's possible to upload an image along with a rant. I hope Konstantin or Totaku use this new function for their rants. :) Interesting Links Student Handbooks - Covers of student handbook for Chemistry, Algebra, History, Japanese, etc. This publisher is using manga artist for its covers. Mathematics handbooks are illustrated by Yoshitoshi Abe who did "Haibane Renmei" for example. According to reviews from Amazon, these handbooks are really informative and useful. Kara no Kyoukai movie trailer - "Kara no Kyoukai" Movies based on Kinoko Nasu's novel. English title is "the Garden of sinners", I assume. The main character, Shiki Ryougi, has "Shokushi no Magan", the power which Shiki from Tsukihime has. Story has seven chapters and each stories are very philosophical (There will be seven movies because each movie will cover one chapter). Third movie will be out of February 9th. My impression of the novel was it was more philosophically oriented than action oriented. I'll see the movie when the DVD is out. (Movie Trailer #3)

	Interesting Links Ita Guitar - There are people who are printing anime characters on their guitars. And these are the collection of pictures. (Part2, Mr. 600 collection) SD characters eyecatches from "H2O" - SD characters were cute. Dog Girl Encyclopedia - Illustration of dog-girls around the globe, including Husky, Chiwawa, etc. A Dramatic look - I don't know why, but it gave me a strange laugh the first time. 1000% PUTING - Russian version of 1000% Sparkling (Negima!? OP). I love it very much. 1000% MASTER SPARKING! - 1000% Sparkling using Toho characters. Negima Kishimen - Nursery Rhyme with Negima characters.

	Interesting Links Seirei no Moribito battle scene - Battle scene from ealier episode of anime series "Seirei no Moribito". I am watching the series right now (NHK are showing the re-runs). I must say it is a very good TV anime series. Animation quality is good since it is produced by Production I.G. who did "Ghost in the Shell" TV series. true tears anime OP - One of the new anime series I'm enjoy watching this season. It's based on the game "true tears", but characters and story are totally different in anime. Three main heroines seems to like the main character, but they all seem to have problems. It's amazing how they can complicate a simple story so much. I'm looking forward watching a mental battle between heroines.

	Interesting Links AniKuri 15 Makoto Shinkai - One minute short clip from "AniKuri15" project "3rd Season". My guess is the animation is done by Studio Ghibli? "AniKuri 15" stands for "Animation Creators 15". NHK asked 15 famous Japanese animators and let them make any one minute long short animation. AniKuri 15 Atsushi Takeuchi - One minute short clip from "AniKuri15" project "2nd Season". It's a very cute story. AniKuri 15 Mamoru Oshii - One minute short clip from "AniKuri15" project "2nd Season". His anime is too philosophical sometimes... AniKuri 15 Shoji Kawamori - One minute short clip from "AniKuri15" project "3rd Season". I love this the most I think. It had the most impact when I saw it. A giant meteorite is about to strike Shibuya NHK building..., then something incredible happens. AniKuri 15 Mahiro Maeda - One minute short clip from "AniKuri15" project "3rd Season". A very high paced story since there is only one minute to tell. Bad villains attacks a castle and princess and its bodyguard strike back.

	Interesting Links AniKuri 15 Range Murata - One minute short clip from "AniKuri15" project "2nd Season". I like 2D AniKuri better than most 3D AniKuri... AniKuri 15 Satoshi Kon - One minute short clip from "AniKuri15" project "3rd Season". A very strange clip, but it does feel like that when you wake up sometimes... AniKuri 15 Kazuto Nakazawa - One minute short clip from "AniKuri15" project "2nd Season" AniKuri 15 Tobira Oda - One minute short clip from "AniKuri15" project "2nd Season"

	Interesting Links Parallel Tracking and Mapping for Small AR Worspaces - I just learned about a word Augumented Reality today. It's a technology we see often in anime like "Ghost in the Shell" and "Dennou Coil". It displays 3D virtual world on top of the real world. It's an amazing technology. Georg Klein created the program which runs on real time and this video clip shows his amazing creation. (extra - Amazing battle starts from 1:00 in Japanese sand guarden.) ARToolKit - Hatsune Miku - Hatsune Miku doing her concert in real world using ARToolKit. Again it's amazing. Melty Blood Fujitsu no Eien - Fate, Tsukihime AMV

	Interesting Links Figures from Wonder Festival 2008 - I assume these are the figures you can buy at Wonder Festival. Self portrait of Ken Akamatsu - Self portrait of Ken Akamatsu from "AI ga Tomaranai" => "Love Hina" => "Negima!". Richard Hammond presents Bloody Omaha - Recreating the battle scene from "Saving Private Ryan" with just three graphic designers. Usatie and Mario Sequencer - I don't know what MarioSequencer is but it looks amazing.
