💥🔵 Sonic : The lovehogs (instead of lovebirds) (Naoki Yokouchi style)

The first one is a remake of second one I drawn the 06/08/2023 (I wasn't very satified of the first version at first, but everytime I come across it, I can't help but think they're too adorable not to be shown 🥹)

Crossover : Sonic × Cyborg Kuro-chan

Round 2!

This one is a little shorter as we feed in the characters absent from the last round.

Link for full bracket here!

Rules

Vote for who you think is more queer/gay (doesn't matter if you think they're bi, pan, gay, lesbian, etc. Who's the most not straight!)

I will allow propaganda in the form of asks or notes (tags and comments) or reblogs.

Be nice and respectful. Not everyone has the same headcanons.

Remember, this is mostly just for fun! We have a few submitted characters for this exact purpose, so don't take things too seriously. (It doesn't matter what the results are, most persona characters will be queer-coded in my heart)

Cyborg Kuro-Chan: Devil Fukkatsu!!

So, forums still do exist on the net, huh? I thought social media platforms had completely obliterated them, but no, some still survive, especially in italian territory. This may seem like the randomest statement ever under a bunch of Game Boy photos, but let me get to the point. I discovered Animemania, an italian forum (whose graphics have probably been organized by a maniac, though it's still kinda manageable if you ignore your eyestrain) centered on video preservation; in other words, it's mainly an online archive of japanese animated series and movies with the possibility to watch all available content in streaming. It has got a wiiiiiide selection! There's all kind of titles: famous to unknown, modern to vintage, and of course among those there's stuff I remember being popular when I was a kid, or randomly catching on air while zapping. So of course I started rewatching some of them, and then went one step forward by searching if any of these titles had videogame adaptations on my favourite console. I started with a few with the intention to get more periodically while I rewatch their series, in order to better understand the subject matter. The only downside is that all these titles seem to be japanese exclusives with heavy text! But who cares when the label and graphics inside are so good? XP

Let's start off with Cyborg Kuro-chan, the at-times-slapstick, at-times-more-serious story about a kitten kidnapped by a scientist and transformed, Robocop-style, into a cyborg weapon of destruction. Despite the change, though, Kuro has quite the attitude and doesn’t stick to Dr. Go’s rules, therefore escaping the laboratory and going back to his original owners, an ederly couple living in japanese rural suburbs. The cat conducts therefore a double life, pretending to be a normal animal while avoiding Go’s army of cybork kittens who want to capture/destry him, so forth and so on. More characters are added to the story as it goes on, with flashbacks, love interests, escapes aaannnd that’s usually where I stop caring about it. Personally, it initially captured me with their jagged style and violent animation, but my fascination was purely aesthetic and when episodes started becoming more plot oriented, I lost interest. A recent rewatch of the series didn’t improve my attention span, furthter proving that despite the funny-looking protagonist, it was indeed a blandish cartoon.

Like many japanese animations, this too was an adaptation of an original manga, drawn by Naoki Yokouchi and serialized by Kodansha from 1998 to 2002. The cartoon, originally made by Studio Bogey and featuring 66 episodes (broadcasted in Japan on TV Tokyo from 1999 to 2001) aired in Italy a little bit after the initial popularity wave of Pokèmon (2002), probably as kids were once again making anime a mainstream phenomenon. I remember it didn't have much luck, it was shown during the afternoon kids block of one of our most famous national channels, and yet it seemed I was the only one watching it when I commented about it at school. Girls were put off by its guns ablazing, boys were embarrassed to watch a show about cats, so it ended up catching the interest only of those children who didn't feel too confined by gender double-standards. Nevertheless, it seems like the series got localized almost in its entirety, with the exception of the last, 66th episode, which has probably been omitted as the italian channel could easily roll over to the first episode again in hope that kids wouldn’t notice the abrupt stop. The comic localization was even more unfortunate, only partially translated in 2001 by Play Press, with 6 volumes out of the original 11 showing up on italian shelves.

Both Devil Fukkatsu and its sequel are developed by Konami and are very, very similar. Since I’ve dedicated this post to the cartoon, the upcoming one will be about these two technological adaptations. See you tomorrow!

Naoki Yokouchi Mangaka Data di nascita: 3 dicembre 1966 (età 54 anni) Libri: Cyborg Kuro-Chan, Cyborg Kuro-Chan 03.

Parliamo di un altro anime della mia infanzia che si chiama kurochan e un anime decisamente folle che ho iniziato a guardare e leggere quando ero piccola, mi ricordo che lo trasmettevano sempre su italia uno sembra una cosa da vecchi da dire ma hai miei tempi trasmettevano gli anime quelli belli, prima che iniziavano gli anime quelli brutti che non avevano un senso, in quel periodo trasmettevano anime molto belli tra cui questo qui, parliamo di un gatto che in realtà e un robort e diciamo che cerca di proteggere il mondo e anche i suoi padroni e un anime molto divertente, tra cui c’è anche molta azione e posso dirvi che adoro la sigla quella di Cristina D'avena la sigla in italiano e pazzesca posso dire che l'adoro, quindi velo consiglio se vi piace il genere azione e che ci sono anche dei robot se vi piace quel genere velo consiglio perchè il divertimento e assicurato, purtroppo non lo trasmettano più su Italia uno ma potete trovarlo in qualsiasi sito di streaming, so anche che e stato fatto il manga ma sinceramente non l'ho mai letto quindi non so com'è anche se un giorno penso di leggerlo, anche il manga lo potete trovare in qualche sito oppure se volete comprarlo lo potete trovare su Amazon.

Coloured versions of the title pages for manga chapters 24, 29, 31 & 38.

These pieces are quite rare because they are only published in the Comic Bombom magazine. Every other release printed these pages without colour.
