I've decided to finally start watching an anime I've been keeping in my watchlist for almost 9 years at this point 😅 It's an anime called Majin Bone that was released back in 2014 (so it's almost 10 yo 😳), but I discovered it during the summer of 2015 after listening to its opening themes.

Unfortunately, though, this anime is pretty obscure (at least here in the West) and when I tried to search for fanfictions of it on ao3 I've found absolutely nothing and the site doesn't even seem to have a section about it in its fandom list 😭 But at least I could find some fanarts of it on pixiv 😌

Obscure anime suggestion!

Astra Lost in Space

What happens when about 8 highschool students get well, y'know, lost in space?

When a simple school field trip ends up with 8 children lost and stranded who knows where? Is it fun and terrifying? Duh!

...

But something's wrong. Worse than being stranded who knows how far out... We suspect that this wasn't an accident.

Genre: Comedy, Mystery, Kinda like a reality TV show, Sci-fi... (Psychological???)

Obscurity level: Extreme, GameStop employee had not known of this anime.

Seasons: ONE.

those 2011 pics remind me of hard the McLaren race suits used to fuck, I loved the vodafone era suits so much 🥹

YES AGREED!!! I love the Vodafone McLaren livery, literally peak!!!!!

Thank you for sending this ask bcs now I get to talk about 2011 in particular. There were these special Saturday race suits and they're all so pretty!!! Hugo Boss did a design competition to celebrate their partnership with McLaren and different artists made different designs for the Quali days. They're so beautiful 🥹🥹 Why can't they do anything fun like that now???? I digress, I went through all the Qualis and compiled pics of all of them!!

#which is your guys' fav? #mine would prob have to be Hungary. Japan. India. Malaysia. #i think all the Asian ones are soooooo cool with all the colors and animal motifs!! #anyways so right anon!!! vodafone mclaren was peak livery and designs!!! chrome/red >>>>>>>>> papaya #anyways hahaha prob not what you expected my reply to be #but this has been stuck in my brain for a while #i remember seeing the Hungary one at some point and thinking it was incredibly beautiful but having no idea the context behind it #and your ask made me finally go to research it #this was super fun to research bcs i didnt realize there was so many!!! literally 18 different racesuits.....so fucking sick..... #im obsessed with race overalls in general like theyre just so cool to me so to see all these different ones is just unbelievebly sick to me #one day ill make a post abt race suit details that make me feral(e.g. when suits used to have race belts & the FIA badge on the neck) #ive downloaded a lot of 2011 pics bcs of sebson but never rly thought any deeper abt why there were so many race suit varieties #the hungary one won the contest(very rightfully) so Jense wore it for the Brazil GP in entirety!! #i also think the Germany won as well bcs Lewis was wearing it for the Brazil gp? but im super biased towards the hungarian one haha #f1 lore??? i guess????? idk if this is obscure or not! obscure to me at least!! i mean that boss yt vid has only 2k views lmao #f1 #formula 1 #lewis hamilton #jenson button #mclaren #vodafone mclaren #formula oe #we do a little bit of f1 #catie.asks. #f1 lore

I found a stuffed toy for Vil.

Look at this shit. It’s a potato. Someone get his credit card; he needs it whether he knows it or not:

Epel: Ah don’t give a darn tootin’ about this goshdarned hair routine!

Vil: *chucks the potato stuffy at him*

Rook: Roi du Poison! My discerning eye has caught that you’ve gained an ounce-

Vil: *chucks the potato stuffy at him*

Neige: *exists*

Vil: *accidentally throws potato stuffy with force to kill*

#I’ve been having a hay day going through and finding the most obscure stuffed animals ever #It’s brought me immense joy #I think Rook would have a lot of obscure ones #He brought them to NRC because he wasn’t allowed to bring his hunting trophies #Epel refuses to admit he has one but his grandma made him one when he was little #like one of the harveston sleigh pulling ones but cuddly and without magic #it’s loved to near death but he refuses to fix it up #like that repair boat philosophy question #how long can you change out it’s parts until it’s not the same stuffed bunny anymore yknow #the faded fabric and floppiness gives it character #twst vil #vil schoenheit #twst rook #rook hunt #twst epel #epel felmier #twst neige #neige leblanche #twst #twisted wonderland #pomefiore

happy 25 YEARS!!!! to one of my oldest autisms..... i might make something for it if my body allows it

#side note this series has so many original characters that are so obscure #because they were all reserved to background animations and story that wasn't really shared in many places #like i literally learned the other day that some of the artist's aliases were characters in game??? #i might draw afro and rinon bc i feel like they represent the start and end of DDR having that charm #afro being introduced in the first DDR game and rinon being introduced in X2 which is the last time the series introduced any new character #azzyrambling #dance dance revolution

You get an extra ask from me because why not 😉

What's an obscure interest that you have that maybe not many people know of or have heard of? >w>

Tenkai Knights, a beloved from younger days, right up there with Beyblade and Pokemon. It's got pretty low rating apparently? which is sad from what i remember of it, it's hilarious, and the concept was pretty unique and fun too. It's both a magical and a mecha; the boys transformed into the mechas, plus a short transformation sequence! And when they were mechas, they could combine into things like bigger mechas and planes. There were/are 2 main/major points of disappointment though, and they're (sadly) easy fixes too, so I wonder how they got overlooked when the writers were going at it (i still get a little worked up when i think about them too often, UGH). Also the show turns 10 this year!!!! Happy birthday to my favorite magical boys <3

#tm answers #tenkai knights #ok favorite magical boys AFTER my ocs but magical boys that i actually like are beyond rare so saying i like them is like receiving #a gold trophy from me #holding myself back from talking abt what i do and don't like bc there's something about that show that makes me uneasy in hindsight #dunno what that is but it's probably for the better #God knows how much I like this show (or at least the version of it that I remember) #also we'd be here all day and no one has that time HVBSDBFIYGF #being asked about obscure media that i like an then listing a/nime. #making me realize that these days i only touch anime w/ a 30 ft pole

[bidolatry]

ah fuck thats right i have to see family tomorrow. hey whats the worst anime i should recommend to my 14 year old cousin. my list with 200 is making it hard to choose

#one day i will publicize my spreadsheet that has the over 200 animes ive watched at least some of. and not just have sent it to james #hm. cause i dont want it to be too obscure but i dont know if i want to deal with him watching death note #im considering nge just cause well it is a classic i guess and. yeah. #i need it to be 'older' (before 2015 latest) cause if he becomes one of those people who really only like shonen i may kill him #my job as his older cousin to fuck his taste in media up forever

for a long while when I'd visit my relatives on the chesapeake for a brief respite from the hells of home life, there was an odd beat-up little cardboard box sitting amid the plastic-cased ds games in the gamestop I'd always visit (rarely to actually get anything)

finally, one time before the journey back to hell, i actually had a scattering of bills in my pocket. after looking around at the shelves of shovelware (i didnt have enough for any of the proper titles like mario or pokemon), i finally decided to bring the story to a close and give the ragged little box a home

it was Sola-to-Robo, one of the rarest ds games ever published, possibly the most technically advanced engine ever devised on the system, and among the most unique and emotional experiences I'd ever encountered in a video game (which is saying something considering I'd already all but lost emotion by that point)

i barely remember it anymore, but for the time it became my favorite standalone game of all time (although it technically is part of a series, succeeding the PS1's equally obscure Tail Concerto)

I still dream of returning to it and seeing just how well it holds up from a more experienced point of view

the one thing i do remember is that it had and still has by far the most beautiful and powerful opening song of any game ive ever encountered, which is saying something considering the hundreds out there! it's up there with Atelier Meruru's Cadena

also the fact that when you beat the game, after the credits it goes "chapter 2" and there's an entire sequel within the game. altogether both parts are probably not longer than any other rpg, but on the original ds where full 3d action rpgs were resource intensive and typically limited in scope, it was mindblowing

also it apparently had like undefeatable copy-protection and to this day still requires a modified rom to emulate or even run on original hardware without a card?

anyways.... remarkable game. i was shocked to find that it's one of the most sought after titles on the system. in rarities ive personally enountered it's second probably only to Retro Game Challenge, which I encountered at regular price once in the late 2010s but didnt have the money for at the time... that's my "one that got away"

#for me it's also up there with klonoa and a handful of old sonic titles for having anthro designs that are actually great instead of weird #i always start thinking anthro designs are just a lost cause but then i remember like solatorobo and redwall and beatrix potter and am like #“no theres tons of room for animal folk in art it's just that modern 'furryism' is usually so soulless and based on corporate mascot styles #anyways..... my short recollection of a remarkable game #hotel dusk and last window are very rare too but theyre so obscure their prices aren't actually that high #tingle's rosy rupeeland wasnt expensive either back in the day but i bet it's gone way up now. wish i got it back then #mario 3-on-3 is another one that's insanely rare but absolutely no one remembers or cares about it lmao #i found it at a gamestop in ass-nowhere shenandoah in 2020 long after the stores were supposed to have done away with their ds collections #anyways..... original ds is a favorite system of mine... not actually for nostalgia reasons (i barely experience any anymore) #but for the sheer variety and uniqueness of titles to be discovered on it... maybe the most of any platform ever #and the fact that many of them had SSS-tier stylistic direction #ive yet to find another title that even comes close to the blue-skies beauty of bomberman land ds #OG ds was definitely a blue-skies system

Being autistic and having a special interest (or just a thing I’m newly getting into) that’s super mainstream is so weird. Antihero by taylor swift just came on the radio and I was like YALL HAVE U HEARD HER!!!! Yes they have heard her she’s taylor fucking swift!! Calm down!!

#same with when I was first getting into encanto and seeing kids merch #like it’s a fucking disney movie of course dolls and cute little dresses are being made for it #maybe this isn’t everyone’s autistic experience but I just have a lot of interests that are more obscure or at least u don’t see around in #day to day life like horror and anime and vocaloid yknow #my words #actually autistic

italian lance voltron jumpscare

#HE LOOKS LIKE HIM. HIS NAME ALSO STARTS WITH L. IIRC THEIR PERSONALITIES ARE SIMILAR AND IM PRETTY SURE THEY HAD THE SAME ITALIAN VA #that said. it's so hard to find high quality pics of teen days and the episodes arent on raiplay which is kinda weird since they have #most of rai produced stuff. i mean they have the shitty mermaid show nobody watched but not teen days? which they showed repeatedly in 2010 #that said. teen days is kind of an annoying show iirc lol im sorry italian animation #like they have a white guy with dreadlocks. #also theres goth discrimination like the rival band of the main characters wa this goth band. they also do it in winx dont get me wrong but #at least trix and the other winx villains (from the first 4 seasons) had swag #teen days #OBSCURE EUROPEAN CARTOON ENJOYERS MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!!! #again. i don't enjoy teen days i never did even as a kid but i would watch almost anything if it was animated so i am slightly nostalgic #about it. also if i cant find any way to watch it we might have a lost media case on our hands..... #voltron #vld #lance mcclain #< WHY DID THAT HAVE TO BE HIS SURNAME

Remember when Josh Rumbles was in the obscure character tournament and lost in the first round? I think about that a lot

#there was a three-day period where it was genuinely THE only thing I thought about #I pavloved myself into thinking about josh rumbles every time I saw the tournaments profile picture #what an Era for me #not my josh era because that’s not a phase it’s a lifestyle #but - #my obscure character tournament era #like I cannot emphasize enough that I literally lost my mind #I am a starved animal and I don’t realize until I get a bone and then suddenly I am crazed and trembling #maybe I should make more memes about it #obscurecharactershowdown

PSA

As you all know, I still love KnY very much (so much, that I still have other related projects). But since I haven't been drawing that much recently, I decided to start a no-pressure 30-days drawing challenge.

I will be drawing a single character from a different anime for 30 days. I have listed 26 animes that I've watched and liked over the years, and 4 free days to take suggestions. The 30 days may not be completely consecutive since I will probably take Sundays off.

I will tag each drawing with the name of the character and anime, but also will be using the tag "my anime drawing challenge" for blocking purposes.

If you keep track of it, I hope you enjoy it with me~

#my anime drawing challenge #some animes are decades old and some are kinda obscure and the genres are all over the place #the style will most probably not be consistent either and i bet there will be lazy days #but its a no pressure challenge so im just aiming for completion lol #and if you want to participate i'll make post to take suggestions!!! #...you will also notice very soon that i have a bias. i have a type #im not sorry

[astranauticus]

so the overall.. shape and tone of my current project is pretty much set in stone (im SO CLOSE to 50% done you guys) but i was looking through my saved videos folder on bilibili and if im gonna be doing another animatic after this one (honestly pretty likely??? given my. floruitshow obsession that doesnt seem to be going anywhere anytime soon) i REALLY want to attempt something closer to that style of animatic you see a lot on bb that employs more on elaborate editing as opposed to like............... the powerpoint presentation type beat i've got going on now

(nevermind the fact that a lot of the projects that really lodge themselves in my brain were also like collaborations between teams of people with like dedicated editor roles and i still havent fully figured out how to use lightworks. like ive also seen one man projects in this style that turn out absolutely gorgeous so i KNOW it can be done. maybe i'll go figure out if capcut is easier to use lol)

#asto speaks #re: the ProjectTM #the massive team efforts are mostly genshin animatics whaddaya know #perks of fandom big?? i guess??? #that and the other noir's stultifer cantus amv i feel like i bring it up a lot but it truly genuinely haunts me #i just. love love love their art style so much and its *so* beautiful and well edited #i mean obviously im not pulling that off in the foreseeable future but #映剪/capcut is a software i saw recommended by the creator of an animatic for a rather obscure variety show i was OBSESSED with last year #saw that animatic a few days ago and it immediate lodged itself in my brain its SO GOOD. and it was a one man project!! walaoeh #op made a joke about worrying about paying for adobe after effects and realising capcut has everything they need LOL #and their project SUPER well edited and put together so idk i might check it out #im just. not fully sold on the powerpoint presentation style at least not when i do it lol #anyway if i do try something like that it'll probably be for set me free because if i *am* gonna do the robit floruitshow trinity #lets just say im gonna be procrastinating how can i make you stay for last that song is *fucking long* #its like what. 5 minutes? nabei #also i already have a few shots for set me free in mind i just need to stop... thinking about the xiao animatic for the same song lol #that project has like 8 credited artists and 6 animators comparing myself to that is just like #an exercise in pointlessly creating misery in myself
