It might have actually been a pepper. It lookeds similar to a Cascabell pepper, which also rattles once you dry it. Doesn't grow in different colors though.

Think it´s a fantasy Nut

Don't those wrinkle when you dry them? Not typical ''nuts'', but the closest l've seen IRL.

And this one's a bit of card art from a Square Enix game called Lord of Vermillion.

Nice find. That second pic looks great. I'll keep an eye out for better scans as well.

Rakka without her wings?

I want too!

For the most part, you can't; most of them haven't been scanned.

It was on 4chan /a/ this evening.

Is that... new? I don't think he did that much work on the pre-story to haibane renmei...

It's a page from the Haibane of Old Home Extra doujin, which he published after the series was completed. It goes into more detail about Reki's past than the anime, but it doesn't contain any major revelations that you would've missed if you didn't read it.

There's a copy with the OST on boxtorrents

??

White Rain?

Range Murata + Last Exile = YAY!

Wraith at the OHBB has info:

Despite never having been to that site before, my IP is apparently permabanned. Here's the relevant text:

>For those who haven't heard, there's a new artbook coming out in Japan from ABe. It's titled Kaira, and should include a lot of doujinshi art as well as the story that's been running in Robot.

Interesting. I know about this artbook but, WTF IS THIS ANIME CAPTURE!? I'M THE ONLY ONE HAVE SEEN IT!? It's about White Rain?

Bye all :D

>>6

It's Last Exile, and it has nothing to do with White Rain.

That said, the artbook may be connected to White Rain... there were hints that the Robot comics were going to tie into White Rain, at least thematically. Haven't got my hands on the more recent ones.

This is manga compilation, which include Jusou, Furumachi(Kogai), Wasteland and White Rain.

<<Jusou

Jusou

Furumachi manga

I think he was involved on original idea, some episody direction or sub-direction and storyboars. The scriptwriter of S.E. Lain is Chiaki J. Konaka, but I think is highly influenced of ABe ideas.

Anyway, what doujin you say? Name please.

There's a Lain one-shot ("Nightmare of Fabrication") that was included in the artbook; not sure if it was ever a doujin, properly speaking.

ANN credits him as the "original creator" as well as the character designer, and his interviews alongside Yasuyuki Ueda (who he also worked with on Haibane and Texhnolyze) seem to suggest that the two of them bounced ideas for the show back and forth during its creation.

I've never seen ABe doujinshi at a con (though I haven't looked that hard, either). Has anyone else had luck (obviously not as lucky as OP's) finding ABe doujinshi in person in the US? If so where?

Also, are there any preferred places to get or browse it online?

Thanks, and congrats to OP on their find!

>>1

If luck works in a zero-sum system, I'd suggest you stay the hell away from Vegas and lotteries.

Same thing happened to me. Bought the doujinshi's the moment I saw them at Nan Desu Kan in Sept. Mine were signed as well :D

I'd bet you anything it was the same dealer. I went to the NDK website and the same dealer I bought from was listed there, too.

i got the same deal at ohayocon. the vendor told me that ABe came stateside for a con but they didn't advertise him and put him into a corner booth where nobody could see him, so he ended up not handing out any of the doujins he signed. the people at the vendor found him and bought out his stock. apparently he gave them a really good deal too.

Stares at Pochiyama

So, was any volume apart from the 1st ever translated?

2 is full of computer jokes which nobody who can read it gets, so nope. (if someone wants to try it anyway, I'll explain them)

I haven't seen 3, but it's around somewhere.

lol asylum anime is the dealer's name. Just got my copies at animeiowa this past weekend.

All three volumes of Pochiyama are now available from iTunes in one package as an iPhone/iPod Touch application for $5. The translation is a little clumsy at times, and the text isn't blended seamlessly with the art, but it's quite readable in this form, and I hope they bring out his "Uchuujin" doujinshi in this form, too.

In fact, it would become my preferred way to read manga, too.

danbooru/anisearch/etc. Also

http://www3.famille.ne.jp/~hirobe/Frame01.html

each of his blog posts goes with hr pic.

"danbooru/anisearch/etc." are only sites for collecting old pics

but you can find a few new on deviant or the old home forum

thanks, you made my day ! found a lot of good new pics

>>4

How on earth can I get these pics from this page? :-/ I can't get past the thumbnails...

>>6

Need a registration. It´s easy, when you have a translation-tool

>>6

I feared this answer :( Can someone who already registered get the pictures for me? (I think many of you are members at OHBB, you'll know who I am)

(I mean >>7. Doesn't really matter, you all could figure it out, imho)

Also, are there, like, no mods left for here?

>>1
Nice, I don't think I've ever heard the full version before.
>>2
What do we need mods for?

>>2

No point in having mods if no one posts here. (Only saying that because this board has a single-digit post count for this month so far.)

Wow very good cover!

>>4

Becouse ABe is not a popular artist, but this board can't die!

Lain and haibane hentai are just... wrong.

you can search on aerisdies but i don't think there are any.

I think he's just asking whether ABe himself has done hentai.

Which I can answer with an absolute maybe.

No, he´s a Man and makes sexy Art... But officially no more

The Abe Yoshitoshi mega-torrent has some "ecchi" nude drawings, but doesn't a fully blown hentai doujin...

Meh. Both Rakka and Lain are shown completely naked in their respective series. Nudity =/= hentai.

There are some old, old drawings which are debatably 'hentai' in nature, but nothing as grand as a full doujin book.

I spent most of my time watching Haibane masturbating, and most of my time watching Lain sleeping.

for the better understanding:

nudity: naked girls
ecchi: girls with sexy attributes (pantyshot, cameltoe and other)
hentai: girls where have sex

what we see in hr und sel is no more than nudity, but never hentai or ecchi. and abe makes no hentai

Part of the rumor probably stems from places he's published in...
