Week 7 recap
Total pages: 55. Probably finished up Devilman this week, aside from some minor entries. Marathoning through a whole series is wearing me out, especially when a series is as pointless as Devilman Lady or as boring as Mao Dante. I'm transitioning into some OVA now, so at worst they'll still be nice to look at. Demon City went up last night, and Wicked City should be up soon too.
I think I could have a lot more respect for Wicked City if it just scaled back on the porn a teensy bit. Up until about half an hour in it could have just been a heavily sexual story, but after that point every single scene involves a naked woman either having sex or being raped. The animation is so great too.
Might need to start building up the backlog again. I know …
Week 6 recap
Total articles: 53. Yup, lots of time taken up by Devilman. Luckily I was able to find the original series, which is actually fairly good as far as the genre of giant monster cartoons go. Amazingly violent, but then that was the 70s for you. The remainder of the monsters from both TV series should be done by the end of the week. Then all I'll need is the Devilman Lady manga, Devilman vs Mazinger, CB Chara Go Nagai World, and the FC and PSX Devilman games, and I will have consumed the entirety of all Devilman media. Frightening.
Also added are a few small comic pages and starter pages for Parasite Eve and Darkstalkers. Those should take too much time (he says, knocking on wood). Forgot to mention creating a new front page last week. It's mostly ripp…
Week 5 recap
Total pages: 49. As expected Wizardry was something of a slog, and I can't even find good sources for the art of the current games. I can barely even find into on the Japan exclusive ones like Xth and Empire, never mind the cell phone games.
Other than that I've started putting up Devilman this week, and that's going to take awhile too. Not sure where I'm going to find the original Devilman animated series, but so far I've sat through Devilman Lady (bad) the Devilman OVAs (pretty good) and the Devilman movie (bad, but Bob Sapp does his best to redeem it). I'm sure Sailor Moon is going to be just as much a pain in the ass whenever I get around to that.
Week 4 recap
Total pages: 46. This week has been pretty much exclusively devoted to the Megaten page. All the images are up to date of SMT3, but there's still a hell of a lit of missing info. Post-SMT3 art is hard to find too. Probably, like CV, due to how much is copied from earlier games. Started on Wizardry as well, and that's going to be just as annoying to find modern art for.
As of 2011 there are nine Tomie movies. Nine! The Japanese movie industry frightens and confuses me.
Week 3 recap
Total page count: 40. Probably a few more than that once I start breaking down the Megaten page. I should have known that would be a bloated page, but I was not prepared. I don't even have art for the most recent games.
Other than that this week has been more games and comics. Games will probably lead next week as I search through... a website I have lost. Damn. Well I'm sure I can find it again. Absurd amount of concept art, that page had. I'm finding so many monster girls in comics, actually, that I've started going through the weekly scans digests. Man is there a lot of crap in there. I'm glad that, of all the vices I've picked up, capes comics are not one of them.
