A textless version of my cover for @giantrobotfm.bsky.social's Macross Plus Zine! This was a joy to work on, and the contents of the zine are excellent as always! Wonderful writing from Stephen and @pmctrilogy.bsky.social, with some incredible interior art by @bellvonartsy.bsky.social!

A bit of art to celebrate the (slightly belated) birthday of Miss Macross herself, Lynn Minmay!

Fun Fact: The cover AC here is actually modeled on the one GRFM co-host @pmctrilogy.bsky.social used during his Project Phantasma run at AGDQ 2023!

Love to see Saito treat James Bond with the dignity and respect he deserves.

Considering the way she is drawn deviates so much from Saito's typical rendering of female figures in his 007 stories, I presume this character was drawn by an assistant.

It works well for his slightly dreamlike, hazy adaptation of Fleming's incomplete final novel, itself a strange thing.

Struck by this dancer in a leopard print bunny suit that only appears for two panels in Takao Saito's 1967 adaptation of "The Man with the Golden Gun".

A very strange, stand-out inclusion for Saito's violent but otherwise chaste James Bond adaptations.

Reminded of the 1984 amateur animation "Owa Farmer Combine", produced by Akita University's animation studies group. Agricultural punning on Dunbine's name just as relevant today as it was 40+ years ago.

Revisited In The Aftermath (1988) after not having seen it in years, and in HD for the first time.

Best known for clumsily combining and reordering about half of Mamoru Oshii's Angel's Egg with newly made live-action footage in service of making a new, more straightforward post-apocalyptic story.

The film's highlight is likely the montage set to Horacio Moscovici's "Carnavalito Tango", which does a lot more to integrate new footage with original animation. Like much of the film it's rather clumsy, but the pleasant, energetic music and willingness to eschew narration really elevates this bit.
