I've had to quit my job due to personal reasons and am currently looking for a new one, so any comms in the meantime would help a lot! [Reblogs/Sharing is super appreciated too]
I have a new sketchbook (it’s palm sized but you can switch out the paper) and I wanted to break it in by drawing whatever. When I realised it was looking a lot like the witches from the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magicka I figure I’d look up that specific artstyle (as designed by Gekidan Inu Curry) and go full gear with the mixed media style. With Yuki Kajiura songs in the background for added effect. :’D
Not sure if this counts as fanart since this was more inspiration but I guess I’ll add the tags there as well!
I remember when Magia Record’s final few episodes came out, there was a tweet by Inu Curry about how they saw the plot of MagiReco as a “failed revolution” (at least, that’s how I recall the Google translation putting it; the Reddit post I found to check on it translated the tweet as “a revolutionary failure”).
At the time, I kind of just wrote it off (along with the rest of the anime adaptation) as just an indicator for how Inu Curry wanted to make the anime more tragic/edgier than the gacha game’s first arc.
But after starting Revolutionary Girl Utena, I took note of how MagiReco’s anime had J.A. Seazer on the production team, mainly for the Uwasa song. And then I recalled how MagiReco’s visuals looked very surreal, far more surreal at times than anything Madoka ever had. And I remembered that tweet about the anime adaptation being about a “revolution” that failed.
And now I’m wondering… did Inu Curry intend for Magia Record’s anime to be something like Utena…?
