How to Build a Series: Wash it All Away

Our two favorite writers, Salviati and Simplicio, have returned to their seats in a Tokyo coffeehouse. Simplicio, of course, is barred from the coffeehouses which employ Minami Kushieda, Mikuru Asahina, and Hotori Arayashima, they being legal minors and he…

The Weakness of Three: Takopi’s Original Sin We’ve talked a zillion times about the Power of Three, where there are three main characters who share a protagonist’s role, and in particular the Mind-Body-Soul trio, where one of the trio is smart, one is strong, and one is emotional. Sure. You’ve seen a dozen of those. Just sitting here I can think of (each in Mind-Body-Soul order): Jim, Gene, Melfina from…

Blood dripping around the words "Have you ever wanted to kill a billionaire? Now's your chance"

Or maybe you don't want to die... but I bet you want to kill a billionaire!

Tell me the billionaire you want dead and I'll create a parody version of them to kill in a ridiculous way!

Enjoyed it a lot. The anime is watered down.

Character Analysis: Rei Ayanami (Rerun! 0% new content!) The old Overage Otaku is a smidge extra overage this week ... fever, body aches, hmm. Someone may have a cold. Aspirin, fluids, already feeling better. But not good enough to mess with a new post. So here's a blast from the archives. Hope it reminds someone of something good! Character Analysis: Rei Ayanami Rei Ayanami is one of the most fascinating characters in anime history.

From the WIP, Pirates of H-space III (cooler title to follow):

Lin Talis left the organizing of the boarding party to Veronica. She was young in years but had been born and raised among pirates; anyone who believed in Lysenkoism would say brigandry was in her genes.

Funny Thing About the Hands… - Uncharted I visited the peat bog just before dawn, when the morning fog was still heavy, hovering over the carpet of peat like a damp blanket. Earlier that morning, I’d noticed peat dried and nailed to the wind...

My new story “Funny Thing About The Hands…” just dropped on Uncharted Magazine! I’m so excited to be part of this publication!

The Power of Two: Frieren Okay, I’m going to come right out and say it: I think Frieren is a great character. I think the plot of Frieren is a huge waste of her character. I mean, it was fun for a while, but then they side-tracked into that stupid “Fern has to get her license” arc, and that’s dumb. Mage’s don’t need to prove nothing to nobody.

The Power of Many: One Piece The problem with large ensemble casts is for the animators and writers to keep the different people straight. The cause of the problem is the production cycle of anime, of course. People have to pound the episodes out VERY VERY rapidly on VERY VERY tight deadlines, and that makes it plenty easy for plenty of people to make plenty of mistakes.
