I’ve seen that gesture in anime for a while. When DC outsourced both storyboards and animation for their series to Japan in the 90s that gesture started showing up.

People do scratch at their face and neck when nervous but putting the hand behind the head is a bit exaggerated.

I’m trying to find the origin. It may have originated in dragon ball or earlier as a gag pose in Toriyamas first hit manga Dr Slump

Manga is similar. Berserk’s Kentaro Miura was apparently doing 16 hour days. That’s also common in western comics too though and the creators of western comics don’t even get royalties because they don’t own the IP and their work reaches far fewer people than manga.

Naruto's creator had to put off his honeymoon for like 13 years. Manga is hell. (It did lead to my favorite Adult Swim gag ever

Justin Roiland's grand plan of "You gotta make sure you're the main character's voice, then they can never replace you" is undercut by his lazy writer ethos of "Just make the lead character a super genius sci-fi wizard, so then they can just make whatever storyline or gag we want to do possible."

To give you an idea of what dumbass 14 year old me was like i was convinced that I was going go to japan and be a successful manga artist. Finding out how much that would cost absolved me of the delusion right quick. I didn't even know about the rest of the dirty details including uh--racism against foreigners.

And most manga artists do a tour under an established cartoonist which even with the work split is still really demanding so by the time they finally manage to pitch a series to Shonen Jump or whomever - which itself is precarious as they will drop a series if they don't feel it's doing well, often without even bothering to give it time to find an audience - you're already slightly broken and hoping against hope YOUR specific brand of hot-blooded youth who learns to fight with specific attribute while discovering the power of friendship strikes enough of a chord so you can have assistants and repeat the process all over again.

There was a Comics Broke Me hashtag on how crappy it was for a lot of western comic creators but it's equally bad for eastern creators, which some manga proponents don't seem to know and/or care about.

I rewatch it every few years and I think it still holds up.

The music is so good in that show, as it should be.

It also had this, my favorite joke in the whole series, years before Trump suggested it.

There are so many little things from Metalocalypse that pop in my mind apropos of nothing on a constant basis.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWSIlmeHlzw

And from the episode where Toki takes guitar lessons, the super-peppy entertainment reporter's delivery of the line "In a press release written by Nathan, Pickles, and William Murderface, it was stated that Skwisgaar Skwigelf is 'a Swedish dildo-licker,' and that Toki has grown into a true guitar master! And that he is a lady...on his period."

That said, I don't think I ever saw the Doomstar Requiem...or if I did, it slid off of my brain. I don't remember a lick of where the show's lore had gone. Might be in for a rewatch myself.

Doomstar Requiem was pretty good

But the sound mixing was absolutely abysmal and you couldn't really hear the dialogue, which is pretty fuckin critical in a rock opera

I've only watched it on 2.1 speakers and didn't have a problem, is it the surround mix that's off? And I normally have problems hearing people in shows (the whispering poo poo stop it use a stage whisper.)

I watched it right when it aired, there's good odds they redid the mix after that

I thought the latest couple episodes of the Clone High reboot were pretty solid. Almost as funny as the original.

Also the full theme song to the original show is very good. Actually injects some pathos in between being funny and self deprecating about the show.

Yeah I thoroughly enjoyed it. The first episode was the weakest and it got leaked before it was finished and got major backlash. I did make a thread for the reboot only after realizing the season was 10 episodes and not 13. I guess it'll be useful next year.


Btw, how is the new Beavis and Butthead? I haven't checked it out yet.
