So when are the Azur Lane artists going to make use of the fact that they've already completed Kessoku Band over there?

Why have tag mei????

Shirogane BARB

Kinda crazy that this is the first post for each of them here on this site.

Edit: found another post depicting Max, but he’s not tagged.

a wild kumarine is here :IkuSparkle:

🎵Hashitte motto kirameke! Akogare ni Take Off! You Copy? I Copy! To~mannai!🎵

Reference:

Missing It's a Moriya Shrine/Satono Group conspiracy and Yukari/Golshi's been fooling around again.

I don't get it. I don't get it at all.

Is there a tag for reversed dialogue and thoughts? I can't find it, but it seems to be a recurring gag in a lot of japanese fanart.

Edit: found it, but it's terrible. Added to this one.

Double Edit: No, actually, the tag I've added now doesn't feel correct, it looks like the tag mixed_up_thought_and_speech_bubbles_(meme) refers to a specific meme template, not the general gag format. which is just great.

I'm gonna go through the Freudian_Slip tag and see if it's worth making a seperate tag for this. Will probably call it 'Freudian Switch'.

There's a phrase for this called "saying the quiet part loud" but that's too wordy for a tag.

Ehhhh, i mean, on it's own that's just a freudian slip in spoken form - and currently, the freudian slip tag is used for that exclusively anyways. The freudian switch tag (which I've now made) is more meant for the variation where the gag is the mental and spoken lines got completely switched, like in this one.

Though, that might make sense as an alias? I could see that being helpful.

If you're wondering about the melon, it's a reference to one of Turkey's national holidays.

Turkmenistan, you mean.

Indeed I do. Thanks.

As someone who is half-Turkmen (I don't live in Turkmenistan), I'm clearly surprised to see Niyazov drawn as a cute maid. Never thought he would be remembered in Japan. And it's hilarious to see how he's portrayed as an adorable girl unlike the most dictators in this collection.
I think there should have been included other details in the art: his famous book Ruhnama, isolation, Owadan-depe prison, gas pipe (Turkmenistan has large gas reserves), indigenization, and excessive love for his deceased parents (monuments, renaming of objects, coins with their image, etc). Yet the art is still cute and good :D
For me, he's very intriguing and interesting dictator, though i cannot say either he was good or bad. Yes, he made water, gas, bread and salt free, and also maintained stability in his country, but he was also obsessed with own personality cult, which looked very absurd. And let's not forget that he ruled Turkmenistan in the 1990s after the collapse of the USSR, when there was a crisis in the post-Soviet countries.
I wish there were arts of other Central Asian dictators like Nursultan Nazarbayev (ruled Kazakhstan for almost 30 years old, made own personality cult and committed massacre against protesters in 2011), Islam Karimov (he was like Nazarbayev and even committed massacre in 2005 against protestors as well, forced children to work at cotton fields), and Emomali Rakhmon (stopped civil war in Tajikistan, built own personality cult and fights Wahhabism).
Sorry for necroposting, long comment and my bad English :ReinSmile:

PUBLIC PLANET MY GOAT!!!!!

This right here, is the new Ultraman. He is Ultraman Omega.

The trailer for the new show just dropped today, and within hours, hundreds of fan art started pouring in. And this is among one of them.

SNK is owned by Saudi Crown Prince who's also a big fan of Ronaldo and the owner of Ronaldo's current team.

Though evidently Ronaldo is not voiced by Ronaldo

WhatWillYouDoWithoutMeOp said:

But... why an actual person? Doesn't he own some other video game characters?

Because it's funny. But on a more serious note, soccer is huge in Latin America which is also where a sizable chunk of SNK fans are. Ronaldo tweeted about it and that tweet has more attention on it than any individual trailer for the game could ever get.

That's actually pretty smart. Whenever athletes try voice acting, the results tend to be weird.

Not the first time a Sports Star was in a fighting game since we had Lebron James in Multiversus since he was in the 2nd Space Jam movie.

Way back in the SNES and Genesis era... there was Shaq Fu.

This is based on a Shinkiro (Mori Toshiaki)'s work of K', I can't remember whether it's KOF '99 or 2000.

Should have noticed the asterisk above the 5 there, which could mean 10 + 1/5 base dmg.

Referencing the initial version of the CinGray Ep.4 preview where Oguri was erroneously depicted with human ears alongside her horse ones.

This preview was quickly taken down and then a new version uploaded within a day with Oguri's extra ears removed. The animation team did a fast work fixing it though I do pity whoever got stuck with overtime doing so.

It's Sparkle (Hanabi). look at the pupils

A Kemono Friends fighting game (Kemono Frenzy?) would legit be a sweet thing to play.

There was a fan-made Kemono Friends fighting game made back during the anime frenzy called Kemono Friends Fight (if I remember the name correctly). It was made by the same folks that made MonMusu Fight.

Well, I'd rather one focused on KF3 - this one's implicitly about whoever gets to marry the Captain (hence their hat around the VS sigil).
