Find a New Home and Family in Newly Licensed Yuri Manga 'Monthly in the Garden With My Landlord'
On Friday, at a panel at Sakura-Con, Yen Press announced that it has licensed Yodokawa's Yuri slice of life manga Monthly in the Garden With My Landlord (Maitsuki Niwa-tsuki Ooya-tsuki) for English release. The first English volume will be published in the Fall of 2023.
The publisher describes the series:
Asako Suga needs a change to get over her recent breakup and decides moving to a new home would be just the thing. She finds a great little place a bit removed from the city with a lovely garden, but there’s a catch—the house also comes with a live-in landlord! Having a charming girl lazing about would be distracting enough, but it seems she’s keeping a secret as well…
Monthly in the Garden With My Landlord began digital serialization on Comic Newtype in June 2021. Kadokawa published the third compiled volume on March 29 in Japnese.
The manga has received positive reviews from critics. Erica Friedman awarded both of the first two Japanese volumes an 8/10 score, praising its focus on "found family" and partnership.
Yokokawa is a Yuri mangaka also known under the circle names Tebacco and givelit. She has contributed to the Avalon, Chocolat, and Offical Bloom Into You anthologies. Her works are often slice of life shakaijin Yuri, featuring romance between adult women, such as Tora to Hachidori, onshot Men Men Musubi, and Ichikoe, Nifuri, Tachiaoi, which is currently serialized in Comic MeDu.
Monthly in the Garden With My Landlord will be Yokokawa's first series published in English. Volume one released in Fall 2023.

I went to Basingstoke Comic Con last Friday with my son Gregory - following a break in my chemo schedule due to emergency surgery resulting in fewer inside bits and an ileostomy. I'd thought I wouldn't be able to go - and it wasn’t easy, but I did it anyway.
Here’s what happened:
First I had my photo with Rachel Luttrell who was lovely and liked my feltie Teyla:
Then my son took the role of photographer for me in my Impala cosplay with Baby herself (or one of them)!
Then there were some strange clashes in the schedule - Stargate Q and A sessions when the Stargate guests were supposed to be signing autographs, so we weren’t sure who was going to turn up or how to be in two places at once. But in the end, it worked to our advantage, because nobody else was sure either, and so when Joe and Rachel came along, there was hardly anyone else there so we got more time and more conversation than we would have.
Joe remembered me from the Wales Comic Con in 2021, which I definitely wasn’t expecting and he said he still had the little book of drawings I gave him there! (It was a ridiculously stuffed little book - I’d gone way overboard.) He took a photo of my art and put it on his Instagram!
Then we went to Rachel’s table and she was really nice and liked my art and gave me her phone to put my Instagram name in. There was no one else at Joe’s table at that point so he was wandering about behind her and it was lovely just to see them interact as friends!
We managed to get Gary Jones next, who was really funny. I told him it was my son’s first Comic Con and he shook Gregory’s hand. But then he said, ‘No, that’s no good,’ and got up, came around the table and proceeded to give Gregs a lesson in firm handshakes. It was hilarious!
I’d wanted to draw all the guests but just didn’t have time, with all the chemo and being in hospital shenanigans, so had to use the photos provided, which were nice, if not the same.
Next, after some hanging around and listening to the Q and As (which were all really good and Michael Shanks just kept spinning on his stool and being really silly) we got Paul McGillion and Rainbow Sun Francks. They were both really lovely and nice to Gregory and, again, there were no queues so we had plenty of time!
Then we hit a bit of a hurdle because the day (and my energy) was running out and it didn’t look like Ben Browder or Michael Shanks were coming back. Michael had a private Meet and Greet going on but Gregs really wanted to meet him, in particular because he wanted to introduce his homemade Goa’uld.
But then somehow we ended up in an impromptu session in the hotel bar - just a handful of con-goers with Ben and Paul and Rainbow! And Paul came up to me and told me how much he liked my art, because a friend had brought one of my pictures to be signed and pointed me out! And then I got to sit down opposite Ben and have a little chat and he signed my art.
But we still hadn't got Michael Shanks. So I pestered various organisers until I found one who knew what to do. And she got us in on the end of his Meet and Greet and then when the meet-and-greeters had gone we had a little private session where he, predictably, attacked himself with Gregory's Goa'uld and then signed my art and then before he went (blush - hides behind hands) I got a kiss on the cheek! 🥰
So, a memorable day! And then we had the fun of trekking home from Basingstoke, through London, on costume, me in my Impala outfit and Gregs as my little Gate-mission-ready military escort. We should just dress like that all the time...
I hope you liked my little Con Diary, @massharp1971 and @colonelshepparrrrd and anyone else who's interested!
Thanks to @hermscat for getting me an extra key card for her hotel room so I could flake out when needed and for transporting us to the station!

Happy 35th Birthday the Bonnie Lassie Karen Gillan, born in Inverness November 28th 1987.
Karen loved acting early on and worked in several youth theatre groups. After gaining an HNC Acting and Performance course at Edinburgh’s Telford College she moved to London at age 18 to study at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.
Gillan was scouted by a modelling agency before working as an actress. Karen appeared in Rebus in 2006 but it was her casting as the Doctor’s companion, Amy Pond, on the long-time hit U.K. sci-fi TV program Doctor Who that led to her career breakthrough.
In her charity work she has helped promote Fashion Targets Breast Cancer and opened a ward at Great Ormond Street Hospital. In 2013 she shaved her hair off for.
A favourite with US fans on the show, Karen took the big step over to Hollywood in the TV show NTSF:SD:SUV an American television comedy. Staying in America she was then cast the lead in Selfie, an American single-camera sitcom for ABC.
It is not all Hollywood with Miss Gillan as she returned to Scotland to star in an indie Scottish romantic comedy called Not Another Happy Ending alongside Emun Elliott, who she incidentally shares a birthday with but is 4 years his junior. It’s a decent film, if you want to watch it you can find it on Amazon Prime, or Netflix.
On 2nd November 2016, it was announced that Gillan was to write, direct and star in her feature directorial debut with Burbank-based development and production company Mt. Hollywood Films’ indie drama project titled Tupperware Party. Set in her home city of Inverness released in 2018 and retitled The Party’s Just Beginning, It’s a decent first effort from Karen and it will be interesting to see if she continues to write and direct in the future.
No matter what she decides to do Karen Gillan will find no shortage of work, I counted 10 films since The Party’s Just Beginning till this year, and another four projects in varying stages of production, including the third in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Karen has supported the charities Fashion Targets Breast Cancer (FTBC) and helped out Great Ormond Street Hospital and earlier this year she visited the Mikeysline crisis support centre in Inverness after presenting her film The Party’s Just Beginning. The film is about the high suicide rate in the Scottish Highlands, and Gillan made a public pledge to support the mental health charity.
Last year Karen says she misses Inverness and wants to swap LA for Scottish Highlands. When asked if she pined for her home town, she said: “Yes, I do - every single day, I’m so homesick. I keep looking up houses in the Highlands, thinking I’m just going to move back . But then, for some reason, I can never seem to do it and there’s always some work reason not to and now I’m in Los Angeles, even though it’s not my favourite city in the world.
In 2021 Karen starred in the action crime thriller, Gunpowder Milkshake, which is available on Netflix, apparently they have already confirmed they want a follow up sequel.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is due to hit the cinemas next May and Rhona Who Lives by the River an animated TV Series for Disney+. will also air.
On being asked about her nationality once Karen commented
I am legitimately Scottish. I can officially say - yes. Yeah, I am from Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland.
The last two pics are from this weekends Tokyo Comic con, where Kaaren was presented with flowers and a cake to mark her birthday, don’t you just love the cat sweatshirt!

Cons: Two vendor rooms on opposite sides of the show, parking and entrance issues as the convention center expands, mixed vendor and artists
Most popular item(s): Posters (74)
Least popular item(s): Agents of SLAM (1), Commissions (0)
My first back to back year comparison! Anime Ohio expanded this year into a 1.5 day show rather than the 1 day show last year, and while growing pains of both the show and the convention center manifested in a weird two-vendor-room setup, attendance and sales both seemed to be doing exceptionally well. The show opened 4pm friday, and according to attendees, the line took up an entire side of the building with 5 switchbacks. By my first bathroom break I could hardly get out and to the bathroom the room was so packed.
Several other artists and I noted that the room seemed smaller/more packed than the year prior, though we couldn’t seem to verify this. The building was undergoing construction, which made parking annoying, but hopefully the expanded space will work for the benefit of everyone - I really think the show needs it (if for no other reason than safety!)
I hadn’t realized that the show is only on it’s 4th year - it is run incredibly well and smoothly, and attendance is great, plus there seem to be some really great guests. My biggest complaint is that the artists and vendors are mixed together randomly, and I’d like to see a little more division (I personally look for original creators over resellers any day, and the mixing makes it difficult to distinguish who is what). I’m hoping the expansion of the building also means more panel rooms and activities, as there did seem to be a good deal of kids sitting around in the hallways.
Gross sales: ~$2500 (~$1000 in 2021)
Recommend/will attend again? Definitely for locals, as this is our only Cincinnati anime show left, so we need to represent! But also you can tell the kids around here are hungry for content! If you’re travelling to the show it’s probably still a good show, as it seems everyone around me was also doing booming business.

This 2021 SDCC panel is also one of the reasons I couldn't agree with some of the stuff tumblr posts last year had stated... which was mostly made up! ie "Stan didn't actually work on the show" or
Like you can see the joy emanating from their faces when Stan and the cast and other crew explain their parts in the show... I can't believe any of them would hate it, whether this was a promo video or not xD Like... you don't go to a SDCC panel of the show you made if you... absolutely hated working on it. idk, it just doesn't make sense. I get that seeing a show or characters from a fandom lens makes people hate that show/characters make stuff up about the show later (i.e. other fans hating on Yuichi Usagi, just as a concept, bc of the ship/shipping, I get it) but it just seems... so strangely petty. Plus non-shipping fans might have been mad that this was not a direct adaptation.... Again I get it! I've been there with other stuff. But whether a show is good or bad, it seems mean-spirited to just lie about the crew or creators of it. It's okay to admit that you had different expectations about it. Yes, it's aimed at a younger viewership and does not directly adapt the darker aspects of the comic, but, that's wholly because of circumstance (Netflix show) and the show is good despite that. Your view of it can simply depend, well, on your view on spinoffs and animation in general, when you watched, what mood you were in. Whatever opinions fans might have, this panel seems to suggest the cast and crew had a mostly good time on it. Unless everyone here is some sort of pathological liar.

More press coverage of the Samurai Rabbit SDCC 2021 panel:
IGN, Polygon (a few pics), Animation Magazine, Geek Network, AIPTcomics (I'll add any more I find if I find smth new)
Screenrant (announcement of the Comic-Con @ home lineup)
longer article on AWN (2022, about the premiere with more pics)
also, Stan's interview with the SDCC blog in 2022
"UBLOG: Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles debuted its first season on Netflix, and has already been renewed. What was it like finally getting to see your characters come to life in that way, and how pleased are you that it was so well received?
Sakai: We at Usagi Studios are very pleased with Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles. The protagonist Yuichi is a direct descendant of my Miyamoto Usagi who is featured very prominently and with a twist that I thought was brilliant. We worked very closely with Gaumont and Netflix, approving/adjusting scripts, designs, suggesting voice actors, etc. I even calligraphed (by hand) the logo for the series. Samurai Rabbit expanded on a mini-series I created titled “Senso” inspired by HG Wells’ War of the Worlds wherein the martians invaded feudal Japan instead. Japan took that alien technology and developed it, adding their own cultural elements. Samurai Rabbit takes place in the future with Yuichi a young samurai in training who worships his famous (or infamous) ancestor, Usagi. Like my Usagi stories, Samurai Rabbit is very character driven and the first season tells of Yuichi meeting what is to become his core group of friends as they battle yokai, the haunts and monsters of Japanese folklore. I’m so glad that a second season is coming up."
i cannot imagine Stan Sakai Lying. like. LEGIT i cannot
so i don't get why ppl make stuff up abt the show. it hasn't been very egregious so far, just stuff in tags and reblogs, but still. weird. fandom is weird abt stuff like this lol! I also do not get the hate that the show itself and the character of Yuichi Usagi get for basically. Not being what people imagined in their heads of an Usagi Yojimbo spinoff. I kind of get that part, because when Avatar: LOK was previewed in 2011, I imagined such a vast and colorful version of the show based on just 2 art pieces, I was caught a bit off-guard by the 1st season's premiere, and completely let down by the 2nd season. So I get that part at least. Many articles seemed to suggest that this show would be an adaptation, and I am guessing this is where people's expectations rose ten-fold in a similar way to my 2011 self. From interviews, I sense that the crew had similar expectations when they joined: a Usagi aniamted project with Stan Sakai directly involved! I'd be asking to be on the show too if I'd been a Gaumont studios member at the time.
The mountain is high and it is hard to surpass. When Netflix ordered the show to be about a younger Usagi and gear it for a younger audience too, I find that perhaps the Gaumont and Usagi Studios crew also saw this. In a fan's eyes, almost no one could match Stan Sakai in his storytelling, and the crew are big fans of his work. So it would make sense that they started to see the show they were developing differently. Instead of something like the 2003 adaptation of Miyamoto Usagi, where they make him younger and change his story a bit, the SR crew saw an opportunity. Lets make it about a descendant and a whole different setting, yeah? So the show becomes something quite different, but more manageable now. The mountain seems more like a long trek than an unpassable task.
But it also seems from every interview and official release I've seen that most of the people working on the show really liked what they made and liked working on it, even if it wasn't a direct adaptation of Usagi Yojimbo, something most of the crew were a fan of already themselves.
also, the series was worked on at least since 2018. Yeah, it's aimed at a younger audience, but a lot of effort seems to be put into it anyway, from writing, acting and art aspects all-around, so it just doesn't seem like something that people would feel the need to lie about. it's a good show. It is just not a direct adaptation of the comics, that people have been wanting, or something "style adjacent" to the comics, e.g. what people expect of the comics (that it's only dark and gritty).
A 2019 comicon.com article sharing a facebook photo at Gaumont studios with Stan is the perfect example of this - "This studio is known for their work on the original Redwall animated series. Judging by the key art shown above and Gaumont’s location in Paris, I hope that the animated series will remain faithful to the darker tone of the comics." - of course an article by a reader of the comic would have something like this, but we can see as early as this, the writer is setting themselves up for higher expectations for the series. Which I don't find fault in, who doesn't want a cool animated adaptation of their favourite comic? But comparing a studio now to what the studio was 15-20 years before is like setting the reader up for expectations that are too unrealistic. Redwall is a beautiful adaptation, but each show/series will almost always have a different team of people working on, so from an animation work POV, it just seems like something unrealistic. Animation industry, both western and otherwise, has always been something that can't always cater to all interests.
not-so-hot take but: it's actually good that it's not a direct adaptation!
The expectations people put on any adaptations/projects based on an older thing, is probably also a huge factor in why both younger and older fans (both shppers and the fans of the comic) feel so terse about the series, when in reality, it's possibly the best result we could get for a netflix adaptation (if I look at any anime/manga live-action adaptations for example, netflix has sort of "dropped the ball" on many of these). The series having loose and not-so-loose connections to the comics canon basically ensures that nothing about the comics canon is ever changed much, or that Stan is never obligated to change the comic for the show. The comic and show are allowed to be separate, but the show is also an homage and open fanart to the comic.
This also means that whether viewers hate or love the series, perhaps having a non-adaptation og series based on the comic... means they will actually read the comic itself now. I see this with both liveaction and animated adaptations, but ppl usually don't pick up the og source material based on just one adaptation, and if the adaptation is good or faithful, they still won't - thinking of TMNT 2003 but also Rise series haters who insist Raph doesn't use Tonfa, when that was a og comics reference lol - there's no trust that the animation folk working on your favourite properties adaptation are ALSO FANS of the same thing. So the chances for that might be similar. If people are happy with an adaptation, they might be less likely to seek out more of it. But I just find this series an interesting attempt from that POV. It almost feels similar to what Transmedia Storytelling is explained as a technique - of telling a story across multiple platforms, adding something unique each time.
A direct retelling is different from an original piece or continuation set in the same universe. Imagine that Usagi Yojimbo, the original comic, is like a tentpole that readers gather around. As time grows on, different animated adaptations occur, some tabletop games, a theather play etc. Different media for Usagi to inhabit as a character and a concept. And then comes along Samurai Rabbit, wholly not an adaptation of the comic's stories at all, but something inspired of it, building on it, not changing it much, but still adding to the canon in its own way (the existence of the Ki-Stone in this show). It's different but it's entirely a work made out of love for the comic, and you can see it in the different aspects it adapts from the comic (the 2D sequences, the skull-death-bubbles, the references to the comic, how it shows Miyamoto Usagi) and how it approcahes the characters as a cast.
So because Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles is not a strict retelling of any of the comics narratives, it allows itself room to explore and grow as its own thing, while also loosely adding to the canon in an interesting and unique way.
I hope phrasing the show from that vantage point gives other existing a different view on it.
this show also credits everyone in the production, including even the 3D animation company (a lot of animated shows only credit the company itself, or at least used to do this a lot) so I think that speaks a lot about how the production sees the show itself. The people making the show are valuable and did well, whatever the reception is going to be. And genuinely, I hope it was actually a good experience working on the show for all of the cast and crew.

I know this is an odd question but does anyone have all of those “out of context spoilers” that were shared during Comic Con at Home in (I think) 2021? I think I found all of them on Reddit but there’s another problem and that’s that, mainly for my sake, I need them separated into two sections. Spoilers that have happened and those that haven’t yet. I’m working on something and want to go briefly go over those spoilers and I don’t think I’ll have time to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 to figure out which spoiler aligns with what. If that makes sense.
If anyone could help me, I’d greatly appreciate it!

What Micah's been up to
It's been about four years since Tumblr put up that ill-advised NSFW ban and led me to leave "forever." I honestly didn't think I'd come back. I started gaining a lot of momentum on Twitter and I'd been growing dissatisfied with Tumblr on the whole. At the time I was looking for a reason to leave and the carte-blanche NSFW ban was the nail in the coffin. I still don't fully trust Tumblr's admin, but they're allowing the kind of art I do again and my past frustrations with Tumblr don't need to be covered here.
So here are some of the things I've done the last few years!
Calendar projects!
Since 2018, I have produced four illustrated calendars that funded on Kickstarter! I started with the 2019 Hunks & Myth Calendar, which featured shirtless men from around the world carrying cute baby versions of mythological creatures!
I followed that up with the 2020 Hunks & Myth Calendar, which had mythological men and baby animals. That one was successful but not as big as the prior year. Fortunately, it was pre-covid, so I can tell it was less about the life circumstances and more about the subject itself. Just wasn't as in-demand, which is okay! Live and learn.
I took a year off from calendars and then put together the 2022 Coffeehouse Hunks Calendar! This one featured twelve coffee recipes you can make at home, all accompanied by a sort of "gijinka" hunk of that coffee drink! This one did VERY well and it was very encouraging to see it go so hard.
The Coffeehouse Hunks' success led me to create this year's calendar project, the 2023 Cocktail Hunks Calendar! The Cocktail Hunks followed the Coffeehouse theme -- a series of cocktail recipes accompanied by a "gijinka" of that drink. This was even more fun and it's been great to see how my art has evolved since the first calendar -- since the 2022 calendar, even! The Cocktail Hunks far surpassed my expectations and it feels really, really good to see so many people interested in my work like this!
If any of you are interested in the Cocktail Hunks Calendar, or recipe cards for either the Cocktails or Coffeehouse Hunks, I do have copies that I'll be posting for sale soon. So please keep an eye out for that!
The Sparrow
The year 2021 marked another big, big, big spike in my artistic career. It's when I ran and funded the Kickstarter for the Sparrow!
Some of you may remember I was still working on the Sparrow even before I left Tumblr. A lot has changed, a lot has grown out of it, a lot has happened, and thanks to Kickstarter support, I was able to fund the Sparrow's very first print run! A whole 70 pages of comics plus some bonus content like character interviews, RPG character sheets and profiles, and more.
I'm in the midst of making Book 2 right now. It'll be a while before I finish that, but you wouldn't believe how amazing it was to see so many people back the Sparrow, a book many of them had never heard of. Honestly, it was a little overwhelming, and it's amazing that I still get people interested in buying at cons and the like.
You can get a PDF version of the Sparrow on my Gumroad shop or read the whole thing on my Sparrow website. It's like Percy Jackson meets the X-Men but more gay :D
Other things
The Sparrow and the Calendars have been my biggest projects the last few years. But some other things I've worked on include:
Soldier/Sailor: A gay superhero oneshot -- This 20-page one-shot was written by Andrew Wheeler (Sins of Black Flamingo, Marvel Voices: Pride, etc.) and drawn by me. It follows the story of Jacob, aka Warrior One, as he reunites with his old lover Armon, Prince of Atlantis.
The Strapping Lads: A D&D Supplement - Twelve classes, twelve men, all ready for your D&D campaign. I put this together for FlameCon 2019 and it went over pretty well >:]
Mutants and Masterminds: Parade Route - I got hired to do the cover art for this Mutants and Masterminds RPG supplement! This illustration features the gay man Johnny Rocket supporting teammate and trans woman Lady Liberty as she attends her first Pride as both an openly queer person and a superhero!
I think there's more that's happened but those are some of my big highlights for the last few years. I'll also post some of my backlog here over the next while, once I have a chance to schedule in some posting. I hope you enjoy, and thank you to everyone that is still here and remembers lil ol' me!

Usagi Chronicles and reviews
I'm watching Usagi Chronicles reviews and there seems to be this general misconception around the internet that netflix somehow took the idea of a usagi TV show and muddled up the possibility of a direct adaptation? Or are people just mad that it's not their idea of a Usagi series? Like of course youtube reviews are going to be full of strange outrage and misplaced cricicisms over cartoons so I can't take those seriously, but even just fandom chatter sometimes has this idea going around that it's somehow a bad series for not adhering to the comic 100%. Or sometimes I’ll see other viewers’ comments like “it had so much potential but it could have been better”. I thought I’d collect my thoughts on this using references I’ve seen around before, such as interviews and articles with Stan Sakai and others. I don’t really agree with this view that the show has to be bad for not getting a “perfect” vision or adaptation and I don’t really believe that it squandered any “potential” either.
Like I think this show is super interesting to look at from a “how it was made” kind of perspective. The story and art are actually pretty good imo and the music really feels like it ties it all together by adding to the mood and setting + for carrying a lot of the series from an emotional POV. Yeah, it falls a bit short on some aspects but overall it’s a pretty fun series. Whatever you might personally know about animation or tv series making, it looks like a lot of care was put into this Samurai Rabbit cartoon.
EDIT(10.02.2023+27.03.2023): under a readmore bc this got way too long, but u should definitely check out these interviews if u still think the show didn’t respect Sakai’s original world and vision, or if u wanna write your own review one day but don’t know anything abt how the show was made.
Interviews/articles:
Filmschool Rejects (article), April 2022
The Popverse (interview), May 2022
Stan Sakai and the Usagi Chronicles | Comic-Con@Home 2021
Comic Book Couples Counseling (podcast interview), May 2022
Traversing the Stars (video interview), Jul 2022
Stan Sakai has said in at least 2 interviews that what got him on board was the view of Neo Edo painted by Khang Le (art director on series, check his work out on his website) - when no other idea suggested so far appealed to him. So this means he was on board with the show and approved of it. even if the concept is essentially a spinoff/alternate universe to older fans (it started off as based on or taking ideas from Sakai's Senso miniseries). What I like most about the series is that it seems to be respectful about both old and new japanese culture albeit being set in a semi-futuristic Edo-style re-imagining of the feudal japan that Sakai writes in Usagi Yojimbo. Stan Sakai was involved in the making of it so it cannot be in any other way. I've seen some american animated shows in the past which have approached this "culture inspiration" differently, sometimes even in ways where it feels weird or disrespectful.
This show even has an all-asian english main cast, and japanese-american composer Aiko Fukushima has made the soundtrack for it, which I feel is a little rare to see. But hey, I'm european asian, not US asian so maybe I'm seeing all that in a different way here.
Like it kinda feels like ppl got stuck on previous animated versions and their own idea of what an adaptation/series should be. I know many were probably looking forward to a faithful animated adaptation but things are what they are and feels a bit unfair to say that what we got somehow took away from that chance. Like it is just one show.
yeah ok, it's aimed at children and it sorta pulls its punches on the tone and seriousness. but that doesn't have to be a bad thing? Having a "media tent" for younger viewers can mean that there'll be new readers introduced to the original comic series through this cartoon. It's also obvious to see that the people working on this are also fans of Sakai's work and wanted to make something fun, despite any tv animation limits, so I sorta wish people saw that more.
Or even more down the line is people saying it mucks up Sakai's vision about the comic series. Like. He is listed as "executive producer" and every design, script and decision went through him first. From interviews it sounds like he had a lot of trust in the team, to make something he would also like. It's ok to dislike the show for various reasons, as we do with all shows but at least respect that the comic author himself has approved of the series.
like im not saying people are saying all this directly, just various sentiments I've seen in reviews, boards and social media etc, but I feel like this misunderstaning is behing the reason why ppl dunk on the show and characters so easily? Of course, as someone who is still reading the comic series (have read a few comics, but not enough to know everything about it), maybe I just have a very limited view on this as someone who happens to like the tv show itself too. I love the art and storytelling in the comic but I also really like the animated series just for what it is.
Maybe it's also that we as internet-goers have become even moreso accustomed to seeing, reviewing and thinking about our media in such a superficial critical way that we can't really share honest opinions without feeling the need to add "real criticisms" to what we say. I feel like that's a bit connected to the "outrage culture" mentioned at the beginning too but honestly this has been a problem abt cartoon/media reviews for a longer time already. Like it's valid to not like stuff but at least don't make stuff up about them
man... I should try writing my own review faster but I really want to see other reviews first (they are a slog to get thru bc I have trouble watching video reviews)
anyway.... lol just some semi-collected thoughts.
at the end of the day, for me personally, I just genuinely like this series and it brings me joy to see that the crew and cast and Sakai himself seemed to really enjoy making it too. It’s nice to see both from interviews and the show itself. maybe it just makes me a bit sad that I keep finding shows where I see that there’s goodness in it and then the majority of viewers I come across online find it different.... like yeah, it had potential for “more” but also what we got was good. I’m happy the show got made.
#usagi chronicles#srtuc#yeah i am too lazy to tag anything else rn its 3am while im drawing#aghhtposts#aghhtjournal#random thoughts#this is only mildly annoying bc juniper lee got way worse reviews so like. i assume people don't google more about shows to see interviews#or other interesting things#i guess this sorta qualifies as a rant even if its mild#rant /#texty#long post#me writing and editing this on tumblr at 2-5 am:#fully awayre that tumblr might just bungo it up and delete everything

Getting to the Heart of the Mystery of The Resort at San Diego Comic-Con 2022!
by Lindsey Blick
According to its new broadcast home Peacock, The Resort is a fast-paced mystery disguised as a multi-generational love story. Series creator Andy Siara describes it even better. "It's a very weird show," Siara joked during roundtable interviews at San Diego Comic-Con 2022. Essentially, a fifteen-year-old unsolved mystery entangles an unhappy couple Emma (Cristin Milioti) and Noah (William Jackson Harper) on their anniversary trip to the Yucatan.
The Resort’s all-star cast consists of Harper (The Good Place, The Underground Railroad), Milioti (Made for Love, Palm Springs), Nick Offerman (Parks & Recreation, Pam & Tommy), Skyler Gisondo (The Righteous Gemstones, Licorice Pizza), Luis Gerardo Méndez (Narcos: Mexico, Murder Mystery), Nina Bloomgarden (Hot Pink, Jane), and Gabriela Cartol (La Camarista, Hernán).
According to series creator Andy Siara, the idea for the show was envisioned nearly a decade ago. Siara kept going back to the script and rebuilding it. He said it wasn’t working for him until he got a little older. Only after about seven or eight years had passed, was when he realized he was seeing both himself and the script through a nostalgic lens, what really helped The Resort come to life was seeing things differently in his 30s than he had in his 20s.
In anticipation of The Resort's debut on Peacock – which comes out on July 28th – Pop Entertainment sat down with the cast and creators at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 to get the scoop. Below is what they had to say!
Can you tell us a little bit about the characters you play in your new show?
William Jackson Harper: (Jokingly) No!
No? Nothing?
Cristin Milioti: Emma is at a real crossroads in her life. Whether she would admit it or is conscious of it or not, [she] is trying to figure out what went wrong.
William Jackson Harper: Noah is relatively content and probably not interrogating certain things. He’s probably at a place where he thinks he has reached his allotted amount of happiness and anything beyond that is asking just a bit too much. Final answer. (They both laugh)
The story revolves around solving a mystery. Would that be something that would interest you in real life?
Cristin Milioti: It depends on where you are in your life. I think the show does [that] well too. They need this in order to not talk about the elephant in the room. Maybe if I found myself in that energy, I would also be a bit more open to figuring out a murder.
William Jackson Harper: (laughs) Murder most foul. I would probably leave a lot of stuff alone if I found a phone in the woods or something like that. If it’s brand new I’d see if someone needs it back. If it was old, I’d probably just recycle it and just let it go. But the thing about this story that’s interesting is the fact that in spite of all that stuff there is this need to waken things up. In a way I think it’s a subconscious thing for Noah. I know that I’ve switched off in a lot of ways. It’s tough to admit that when you’re in that place. I know I’ve cashed out and given up.
Can you talk a bit about the process of putting together your show from conception to its launch on Peacock?
Andy Siara: To start off, this show was entirely written by me. I had some people read it after it was completed, and they really liked it! I worked with them for about a year or so, and around that time, I told Cristin about it. After that, they took it to UCP, which was their studio. Once COVID hit, things slowed down, but I created the entire roadmap during that time. In March of 2021, we pitched the show to Peacock, and they picked it up!
Why do you think your character of Baltasar is the most important character in the show?
Luis Gerardo Mendez: Baltasar is the head of security of this resort. He has all the secrets and all the information of what happened in this resort in the golden days when everything was perfect. Then this horrible thing happens.
Can you tell us what the horrible thing is that happens?
Luis Gerardo Mendez: Well, I don’t know if I can give any spoilers! Umm, yeah, I shouldn’t. It’s a secret. But you’ll see! It’s not that horrible, it’s just mysterious.
Okay, well we had to try.
What excited you most about the script when you read it?
Nina Bloomgarden: It’s just so bizarre. There are so many little quirks in it that are so funny. Our incredible cast has taken that and improvised with it and just made it unbelievable. I just think people are going to laugh so much and they are going to cry, it’s just so full and has a little bit of everything.
Gabriela Cartol: Yeah, but it’s also deep, and it’s smart, and really good! So much is being done and it’s just really good! When I watched the first episode I wanted to cry because I couldn’t believe I got to be a part of this show. Because as an actress, this is the kind of show I want to work on and to be able to be a part of it. With this cast, it’s a dream come true.
Peacock premieres The Resort on July 28, 2022. Make sure you go check it out!

by proud_papaya
Kate just wanted to be with her dad, which was why she snuck onto a space shift that drifted into the middle of Manhattan and, sort of, kind of, ending up on Titan, where her father and her Uncle Tony were fighting Thanos. Then they lost. When they got home, their family was gone: dust. Her dad wasn't the same. He seemed like a shell of himself. She missed how it'd been before.
TLDR// what if kate was clint's daughter, and she survived the Blip while the rest of their family didn't? How does that change things and how does that change the plot of Hawkeye? also going into tony&peter if peter survived the Blip. updates every day.
