Fanart: Kancolle Rescuers in the Australian Bushfires
While much needed rain has helped the bushfire situation in Australia, it’s not quelled the flames entirely—firefighters continue to courageously do the work of ending the fires. We have a number of readers and even a staff member who lives in Australia, and we emphasize the need to help if you can and pray for… Read More Fanart: Kancolle Rescuers in the Australian Bushfires

Off the top of my head, Girls und Panzer, Sora no Woto, The Third Aerial Girls Squad (the series the SHIROBAKO crew creates during the second cour of that series), and Violet Evergarden come to mind. Add to… Read More When Cute Anime Girls Go to War
Josh’s Fan Art Gallery
In lieu of writing something, I thought I’d share some of my fan art. I actually find fan art to be one of the trickier things to do—reverse-engineering someone else’s character takes you outside of your own habits and comfort zone. But for that reason it can also be very instructive. Unfortunately, no real thematic… Read More Josh’s Fan Art Gallery
