Some awesome writing from Kaiba episode 3
Jun. 16th, 2019 11:32 amSaw this cool fictional writing system in episode 3 of the anime Kaiba. The meaning of the text was not explained.
Full size version
Kaiba is interesting so far - a grim posthuman story of buying and selling memories, bodies, and identities but presented in an animation style reminiscent of early Tezuka or Yellow Submarine.

Mawaru Penguindrum relationship map
Jan. 4th, 2012 08:07 pmI enjoyed the recent anime series Mawaru Penguindrum. This is a map of the inter-character relationships, as best as I could make them out. Spoilers, naturally.

I did my best to duplicate the subway-map aesthetic that appeared in the series. The series (and the actual Tokyo Metro) uses the font Frutiger for its roman-character signage. Sadly, I don't have Frutiger but Futura seemed closer to it than Helvetica.
Corrections and suggestions welcome.

This was an amazing episode, not just for the series but for TV in general. The resolution of many mysteries done in a completely sensible way, the optimism, the message about anyone's ability to make a difference, the visual grammar used beautifully - if only all "mysterious" shows were this well plotted. And we're only halfway through this 2-cour series, apparently.
It could be seen as kind of an otaku-wish-fulfillment moment but despite the fantastic nature of the show it feels realistic - I feel like the cool parts of this could actually happen.
