I really love the fanart created by うえすと because it’s almost always lovely depictions of Rumiko Takahashi characters, including my favorite series from the famed mangaka, Maison Ikkoku. ★ 【うえすと】 「 splendid allegory 」 ☆
When this lovely science fiction-flavored illustration popped up on Pixiv feed, I was excited to share it—and that was before I took a closer look. “Wait a minute…is that Nadeshiko?!” I became super-excited: a Laid-back Campgirl at some sort of towering windmill industrial structure! How interesting! A third look at the illustration provided even more… Read More Fanart Friday: Laid-back Spire
This season’s final episode of Wonder Egg Priority, much like the entire series, was full of meaning and allusion. One of the most powerful aspects of episode 12 was when the alternate universe version of Ai, a version who never met Koito and who herself committed suicide, found strength in the current universe version of… Read More Fanart Friday: AU Ai / Eye
One of our favorite anime series here on Beneath the Tangles is Mawaru Penguindrum, Kunihiko Ikuhara’s colorful, sometimes dark, sometimes whimsical series involving terrorists, magical girl sequences, frog eggs and love potions, and of course, penguins.

Somehow, someway, Evangelion 3.0+1.0 made it into theaters last weekend, placing number one and concluding the Rebuild series. One of the neat tidbits that we found out months before from a trailer was that a new plugsuit would be featured, and Pixiv is having a wild time with it, with illustrations of Asuka in white… Read More Fanart Friday: Asuka 3.0+1.0
Before there was Fate/Grand Order, there was Touhou Project, a property that so captured the imaginations of otaku in Japan that to this day it still leads to incredible fanart being developed and posted on the Pixiv platform. I wonder if FGO, which is diminishing in popularity on Pixiv (though of course still highly popular),… Read More Fanart Friday: Youmu Konpaku
While season one of Kaguya-sama: Love is War was a funny, stylish take on the romcom genre, season two took the series in different directions by including some drama, expanding the roles for the supporting cast, and adding a new primary character.

Sweet, pregnancy fanart? Very rare indeed. Enjoy this lovely illustration of Van Hohenheim and Trisha Elric—looking beautiful, I might add—expecting Edward (I assume)! ★ 【Kotikomori】 「 Parents 」 ☆
We posted a piece earlier today celebrating the lunar new year, but we couldn’t let this special weekend go by without commemorating another certain holiday. Let Mash bring you into the weekend with some chocolates, and whether you’re with a loved one or not, may you have a lovely Valentine’s Day! ★ 【YeoNwa】 「 バレンタインマシュ… Read More Fanart Friday EXTRA: Happy Valentine’s Day from Mashu
Happy Lunar (Chinese) New Year’s, folks! While in America, it’s been a somber celebration in light of reports of attacks on Asian Americans, I hope that if you do celebrate this time, it’s with kindness and the spirit of hope and good things to come. And if you’re mood is a bit dampered, maybe this… Read More Fanart Friday: My Happy Lunar Academia New Year
