Ky*Jam tidbits
I know at least one person on my (admittedly small) friends list will be interested in this...Basically, this is deviantart.com-based fanart of the pairing of Guilty Gear's Ky Kiske and Kuradoberi Jam.

Or, more accurately, her projection in the 4Kids translated anime, where she's called "Tea Gardner" (there should be an accent mark over the first "e"; I don't know how to do ( Read more... ) -
Premonition: 4Kids Entertainment
At first, I thought their usual procedure was simply tweaking, with fullscale re-writing (q.v. first Pokemon film) being an oddity. Then came news of the way they remade Yugi-Ou (obviously without asking advice from the Batman or Gargoyles writers on how to get the rating desired and keep the artistry intact ( Read more... )
