Happy (belated) anniversary to Lilo & Stitch: The Series and Stitch!
Tumblr media
Yes, I know that the twentieth anniversary of the premiere of Lilo & Stitch: The Series (on ABC Kids) was on September 20th. I was sick back then, though. So, I'm celebrating it today on the anniversary of its Disney Channel premiere instead.
Lilo & Stitch: The Series continued our beloved titular human-alien duo's adventures on their home island of Kaua'i after the first film and the show's pilot film Stitch! The Movie. Throughout the course of 65 episodes over two seasons that aired within almost three years (September 2003 to June/July 2006), they went around the island (and occasionally elsewhere) to find, capture, and rehabilitate Jumba's other genetic experiments by giving them a place where they truly belonged. They also dealt with the ex-Captain Gantu, now working for Jumba's ex-partner Dr. Jacques von Hämsterviel, as they hunted down the experiments.
While Lilo & Stitch creator Chris Sanders, who reprised his voice role as Stitch in the show (as did almost all of the original film's voice cast reprising their roles), never really intended for his film to go anywhere beyond the one film he made, Lilo & Stitch: The Series has left a lasting impact with Lilo & Stitch fans everywhere that can still be seen to this day. Dr. Hämsterviel and his Python-esque Frenchman-sounding voice became recognizable while giving the franchise a proper villain. Gantu was fleshed out more as a character instead of just being a brute enforcer for someone else, especially through his interactions with the memorably lazy, wisecracking, sandwich-loving, reluctant sidekick Experiment 625, who we know today as Reuben. The second season did crossovers with other Disney properties before it was cool, with the casts of Kim Possible, American Dragon: Jake Long, The Proud Family, and Recess each joining our duo's 'ohana for an episode. Then there are the genetic experiments themselves, with their fun designs and wide and sometimes wacky abilities making a lasting impression on those who enjoyed seeing Stitch and his mischief while expanding on the (admittedly crazy and inconsistent) lore of Lilo & Stitch's universe. One of them, X-619/Splodyhead, even made a cameo in a Walt Disney Animation Studios film in Big Hero 6, while another, X-221/Sparky, who debuted in Stitch! The Movie, became a boss in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. And we can't talk about experiments without mentioning X-624/Angel, Stitch's love interest and mate who became so popular in her own right that she now gets a regular influx of merchandise and has made several video game appearances, including most recently in Disney Speedstorm.
Not to be forgotten, the Stitch! anime series also recently celebrated its fifteenth anniversary of its premiere back on October 8th. The first spin-off made after the original Western continuity, Stitch! had the little blue alien crash-land on a small fictional island in the Ryukyu Islands called Izayoi, where he meets and befriends the tomboyish Yuna. During the first two seasons, which were animated by Madhouse, Yuna and Stitch go on their own adventures around the island, befriending yokai who live in the island's Chitama Forest, and dealing with Hämsterviel, Gantu, and Reuben again. Some of the experiments even return in this show, especially Angel, who became an intergalactic pop star in the (in-universe) years since we first met her on Kaua'i. The main plot of these two seasons is about Stitch getting enough good deeds to have the magical Chitama Spiritual Stone grant him a wish, which was apparently to become "ruler of the universe". However, by the end, he decides that living with Yuna is better. After Madhouse's 56 episodes (which includes two post-season specials), Shin-Ei Animation took over for the third season, retooling it by having Yuna and Stitch move to a fictional Okinawan city called New Town, going on wackier adventures there with her new classmates, while Hämsterviel now goes after Stitch on behalf of a big-eared humanoid alien woman named Delia to gain a power cell within him, using several experiments that he "transmutated" to do his dirty work. The 30-episode (again, including another post-season special) season also had Stitch reuniting with Lilo, now all grown up with a daughter of her own, for one episode. The main series of three seasons ran from 2008 to 2011; they were followed by two more specials, Stitch and the Planet of Sand in 2012 and Stitch! Perfect Memory (or Stitch! A Perfect Memory) in 2015.
Infamously, the English dub of the anime established itself as a post-Lilo continuation from the get-go with probably the worst-chosen opening lines to any sequel show ever, when Jumba claimed (later proven false by Lilo's aforementioned third-season appearance) that Stitch left her because Lilo became more interested in a boyfriend over him; such lines, which weren't in the Japanese original, caused many fans to swear off the anime series as "not 'ohana". However, as the years passed since Stitch! ended, the anime faded to relative obscurity, which in turn caused much of the hate it received to die down. In more recent years, it's now garnered some appreciation in its own right after years of ridicule and vitriol, with those such as Saberspark enjoying the show for what it is and making videos about their more positive thoughts on it.
My friend @angoraram made the drawing at the top of this post for this special occasion featuring Stitch, Reuben, Angel, and several other experiments well-known and obscure from throughout Lilo & Stitch: The Series (plus Dorkifier from Stitch!). She already shared this picture on her DeviantArt galley last month, but she also allowed me to share some special 5K desktop wallpaper edits I made of her drawing available in 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratio versions. You can download these over here.

Experiment 627
Primary function: To cause chaos and destruction and be a better version of Stitch
A vile and vicious experiment, the first created on Earth, and designed to be the better version of Stitch after he turned egotistical. He has all of Stitch's powers with none of his weaknesses and possesses various powers from 20 other experiments, such as plasma blasts, frost breath, telekines, electrokinesis and fire breath (and he makes good tamales too.)
He was created to be "extra-evil" (even the only word he can say is "evil") and thus unlike the other known experiments (with the exception of Leroy) it is impossible for him to be turned good; he was dehydrated and contained in an experiment pod instead without ever being given an actual name or one true place. His weakness is his big sense of humor; when something bad happens to someone else repeatedly, he begins to laugh uncontrollably and literally becomes weak from laughter.
One true place: None given due to his inability to become good

Been thinking about Lilo and Stitch lately along with the underrated experiments from the mixed review anime Stitch, a spin-off series based on the world of Lilo and Stitch. I've drawn Dark End and Witch, but not the other two I also like. Here's both: Experiment 147 Bragg/Flute and the one labeled Experiment 0 known as Cyber. I gave both slight redesigns.
Tumblr media
With Bragg, the one who lies and schemes to get what he wants, I made his heart markings cracked. As a cunning trickster and liar who uses popularity to gain more power, I can see him having broken hearts as an alternative take to his heart patterns to represent this after when everyone saw his true colors shine.
Tumblr media
As much as I really liked Cyber's design, I thought the cyborg eye he had in the original looked a bit too goofy, so I redesigned it with a lil help and inspiration from Sonic Prime's Rusty Rose.

Happy Experiment Appreciation Day! 👽
Oh, yes, I'm still going to keep this tradition I established going. The genetic experiments are one of the many unique things of the Lilo & Stitch franchise, and they've been around since the very beginning. Experiments like Chopsuey (X-621) from the PlayStation 2 prequel game, the early version of Reuben (X-625) from the Disney Adventures prequel comics, or... you know, Stitch (X-626) himself.
Here are some fan art of the genetic experiments made in the past year!
Tumblr media
Yaarp by @kiwibon – As if the little blowhorn wasn't already cute and fluffy enough, here his cuter and fluffier than ever before!
Tumblr media
Zutto Fights by @salty-nebula – Oh, no! Gantu's strike team have all been transmutated by Dr. Hämsterviel! (Well, three of the four actually were in the Stitch! anime's third season, but Hammerface didn't.)
Tumblr media
Sparky, Spike, and Yaarp by Kinnachan456 – A trio of this artist's favorite experiments! (Also, lucky Yaarp getting two appearances here!)
Tumblr media
Experiment ZBrush renders by @konnestrasketch – (Clockwise from upper-left: Richter, Splodyhead, Gigi, and Finder) Never expected these guys to get 3D renders now did ya?

Tumblr media
Hoppy Easter by @angoraram – I hope Houdini didn't get startled by the kids for Easter!
Tumblr media
Evil Anime Experiments by @crees-a – Ih, even the Stitch! anime's most evil experiments are getting some attention, too!
That's it for this one. There's still plenty more days left this Stitch Week!

Experiment 029
Checkers
Primary function: To make his wearer a supreme ruler
A king-maker experiment. Designed to give his wearer the power of command over all living things and thus has an instinct to rest on top of others' heads. However, his power doesn't work on other experiments.
The affected beings will become obedient servants, but also actively make suggestions to make things better for the wearer and are aggressively protective of them against anyone who is considered a troublemaker or a threat. The experiment's hypnotic effects vanish instantly as soon as he leaves his wearer's head.
One true place: Unknown

Did I mention I love this child too much? I swear I might have already, haha!
More “Stitch Triverse” art here and specifically, more Yuna Kamihara with her AO-Band done this year! Normal and beachy variants. Wanted something done in a very floral idea, akin to what you’d find in the Ryukyus~
