This month, Kio enjoyed various media, but his PC might need replacing!
Kio has been thinking up the plot of an eromanga (different from the one he’s currently working on), and is now up to 4 chapters. He hopes he can get around to actually drawing it eventually.
Kio watched The Queen of Villains, the Netflix series about the iconic Japanese heel pro wrestler Dump Matsumoto. He found it to be a really good and intense work. The scene where Dump “awakens” to herself was cathartic.
After updating Windows, KIo’s PC no longer worked. However, starting it up in safe mode and updating some drivers brought it back.
Kio mourns the death of Ohyama Nobuo (original voice of Doraemon and Kappei in Zambot 3).
Kio got a model kit of the Daccas from The Five Star Stories.
Kio enjoyed this month’s chapter of The Five Star Stories.
Kio got his copy of Mujina, Perfect Edition.
Kio has inked 80 pages of his current eromanga project.
Kio’s PC went into factory reset mode. He thinks it might have been because there was a power outage when Windows was updating. A person in the replies helped Kio with some troubleshooting, but seemingly to no avail. Kio had stuff backed up, though, so it should be okay.
Kio is a fan of the manga Fist of the North Star: Legend of the Apocalyptic Drama Shoot, which presents Fist of the North Star as if it were a live-action television production where all the characters are actors. He likes that the production issues feel plausible for what happens in the original work.
Kio watched Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance. He likes how the Zakus really comes across as weapons, whereas normally mobile suits come across as more like living beings, or like ASIMO vs Atlas.
Requiem for Vengeance is practically a monster movie.
Kio watching another DVD from How Do You Like Wednesday? This time, they’re in Vietnam.
One person in the replies talked about how at the time, it seemed like this might be their final show, but Kio didn’t get into How Do You Like Wednesday? in real time, so it was different for him.
The Ranma ½ remake has been great in Kio’s eyes (even if they aren’t showing nipples anymore). It captures how the series felt in the beginning.
Kio watched Voltes V: Legacy. “Combination transformations are justice.”
Kio finally inked the line work for the final 80 pages of his doujinshi. He still has to add grays, blacks, text, and color for the cover, though (all of which take quite a bit of time).
Kio has a stomachache.
Hunter x Hunter coming back gives Kio life.
Kio talked to a younger person who was aware of the fact that Patlabor came out first with Yuki Masami’s manga. As Kio looked at this month’s issue of Model Grafix, it hit him that the people who would naturally know this are probably around 50 years old.
