Welcome back to Otaku Evolution!
I am so sorry it’s taken me this long to post a new video. I had terrible sciatica pain in my back for a few weeks, forcing me to sleep on a yoga mat on the floor of my room at night, and hampering my concentration on completing my viewing of this series, which is 50 episodes long! That, and my obsession with completing Chrono Cross (which is entirely my fault), slowed me down. But at least I mostly avoided my usual post-holiday funk.
In the bookend material here is the aftermath of that attack on me in my quarters at the end of last year. I wanted to show that one of Pen Pen’s students, Llewellyn, who was normally depicted as a child, has grown up since the last time I used him. As for the “Puffin Elite”, they’re characters that I created years and years ago that I never ended up introducing into my sprite comics. You’ll see me explore that story idea sometime this year.
Naturally, I had to get in some political jabs, too, as is my habit. Sorry if things are too political, but you can skip the bookend material pretty easily.
I also wanted to express my frustration with AI, which I think comes through clearly in this review of Astro Boy (2003).
Anyway, hopefully I can get another video done sometime soon. And on YouTube. (I have two strikes against my account and am hesitant to post there.)
