Orca lady?
Suicide Squad basically got by almost entirely on the popularity of Harley Quinn and The Joker. which is ironic considering that the latter was only in the film for all of five minutes.

She's Vanessa, her first appearance was on King of Fighters 2000. They wanted that "Aunty" demographic. :heysexy:

Isn't this non-canon since the entirety of squid girl takes place over like 2 months?

The Mini-Ika stuff was all a lucid dream or something.

Which is just as well because the one where Eiko got old and passed away while the lil' Squiddie was still there destroyed me.

It did, but it had a new arc starting up a few months before the news dropped. I'm honestly surprised that they're continuing it, but that's the way things go sometimes, as ugly as the repercussions may be.

I think he mentioned something about him really wanting to do this arc right after Kyoto (A.K.A. The Shishio arc) instead of the whole Enishi trip? Or am I misremembering horribly?

That sucks. I read some people in twitter wanted to boycott the magazine where it runs or the translation but I doubt the money from western fans is enough to make even the slightest of differences.

What's a good place to start with Junji Ito's work? Not the ones about holes or spirals because I've absorbed a bit too much info on those from the internet and want something I can read with entirely fresh eyes.

you wanna emulate the ps2 version, it's just a pain to get it working on MAME but the ps2 port is arcade perfect and has both versions

I love that they took the comedy of errors to the ridiculous heightened conclusion instead of having them realize it earlier, it's like a Marx brothers bit

I mean, it’s Jump. There’s not gonna be a significant boycott of one of the most popular manga magazines over a problem with one of its series, so the author is effectively free from any consequences.

I know you didn't mean it like that but framing it as just 'western' fans has some lovely implications.

Reactions are pretty mixed in Japan, too. On the one hand, his crime was just possession, without distribution or production, and Japan is a country that believes strongly in criminals rejoining society. On the other hand, it was child porn. A good number of replies to the news were just jokes about him starting the child porn arc, disbelief, etc. Obviously there are people who don't have a problem with it, but, well, you can find those people in the western replies, too.

Sorry, didn't want to imply anything, I was mostly talking about western fans because that's what I saw on twitter.

The xenophobic crusade to prove that western fans are the good taste having acceptable fans and Japanese fans are all no taste perverts and make everything good get cancelled will never die no matter how much I have stabbed it in the heart.
