Thanks for the investigation, I'll check it out now. I think I most likely picked it up from Gaming Age

Wow. I couldn't have made it up, right? The term must've already been in use back then. Maybe I saw it mentioned at the Gaming Age forums? I'll dig through my archives, but I'm not sure if the search will turn up anything.

I drew a snow goblin.

Another sign of the times: Moscow used to have just one Cosmos Hotel — the one by VDNKh, built by the French for the 1980 Olympics. Now Russia suddenly has a whole bunch of Cosmos hotels in different cities. The explanation is quite simple: these are former Radisson’s Park Inn hotels.

And if you examine the opening even more closely, you can spot posters for Fujimoto's one-shot collection 17–21 and the Sayonara Eri one-shot.

It is believed that Makima dragged Denji to a late-night screening of Grigory Chukhray's Ballad of a Soldier. However, a poster flashes for a split second in the opening: in the Chainsaw Man universe, it is a Swedish film Den Utlovade Hemkomsten, The Promised Return, directed by Ingmar [Illegible] 😏

I also decided to cosplay as a time traveler and shot the gig with a DV Handycam from 2004.

They even hired someone to make a custom anime clip just to promote the campaign in Russia and Belarus.

As for me, personally I think that the heroines look more striking and refined with those costume details than without them. But it would be interesting to hear what guided Dodo in choosing the illustration option.

Thank you for the interview! Cygames Pictures have really been a delight lately. They had the absolutely wonderful Apocalypse Hotel this past season

Russian fast food chain Dodo Pizza gave the girls leggings and stockings. The "we're a family-friendly brand" excuse doesn’t really hold up: even wholesome Beard Papa's is in on the collab in the US, and over there, Anby and Burnice are bare-legged.

Empty is run about freely.

For me the most encouraging and uplifting thing was that Studio Ghibli, despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the broken diplomatic relations between our countries, still allowed the distribution of its films and did not refuse to license The Boy and the Heron to a Russian distributor.
