Yes, it's true. But I think there is nothing sexual on these kind of platonic loves, in my opinion is other way of feeling love. You must know these feeling to discuss about this, but you are partialy right.

(Sorry for my english)

>>9 I think even Washi came in as less of a jerk than he is.

I thought ABe wasn't involved in creating the story for Lain. Wasn't he just in charge of character design, as in visual character design?

>>14

Wut?
S.E. Lain original creator is Yoshitoshi ABe, no discussion about it, but there are more people working on it. If you see mangas like White Rain and animes like haibane you see the point of view of ABe.

>>15
Wingless is correct, ABe was only the character designer for Lain. The only anime he is the original creator of is Haibane Renmei, since it is based off of his doujinshi The Haibanes of Old Home.

According to Nihonjinron (Japanese studies, usually with a nationalistic tinge), Japanese relationships tend to be closer than that of Westerners. I'd imagine that that has to be accounted for; what may look excessive in a Western setting is par for course in a Japanese setting.

>>16

Wasn't he the guy who came up with the story for NieA_7?

>>18

I think that was also written by the Lain writer, Chiaki, though ABe does have a manga based on it that was supposed to be released in the US and never was.

Very thanks. The best page of ABe!

NieA_7 volume 1, chapter 2 + 3 [Mangaproject] do not seem to work; they result in a 404 error.

fixed

Works perfectly!

Yeah, excellent website, good job guys.

I do have some Range Murata artwork you guys don't have up.. any way I can contribute?

Details please, what artwork? Can you scan it? Very interesting :)

Well, I have all of his post-form code futuregraph pictures as well as most of his contributions to various robot volumes and some scattered game artwork I found online.

I do own a good bit of his doujins, but i've only scanned a few scattered pictures from them.

I think all the images are from this book:

http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4862690602

which, I guess is called Kai-something, so yes, from Kaira.

Oh wow there's a much higher res version of this image that what is found on the PSX game

Found another one on a different image board.

Yea, leave it to animepaper to suck. Who saw that coming!

i sure as shit did

My account seems to have -800 papers from when i used it like over a year ago... Tried opening a new account but it wont let me with a static ip.. rediculous. Shame too since someone posted gaisokyu up.

Mandarake has most everything, including a copy of one ridiculously rare doujinshi that's never been scanned. (it is, unfortunately, going for something like $60)

>>8

which one are you talking about?

ABe was hard at work unpacking doujinshi. I didn't get the chance to chat with him, sadly. Sorry for the blur. I didn't realize how bad it was, and I was kind of trying to be discreet at the time.

One of the ladies sitting at the booth, seen here staring blankly at me as I take my picture, did say something to me. She said, "Sorry, no pictures" as she made a × symbol with her fingers. Oops. With a quick すいません, I went on my way.

In other news, I didn't purchase any doujinshi. I wasn't too impressed with the sketches in f.p.o., and nothing else really caught my eye. The doujinshi I remember seeing were f.p.o., Ryuushika Ryuushika (which has a glittery title in person, actually), and some Pochiyama stuff.

Kind of a little disappointed, but oh well. :/

The Uchuujin doujinshi was also there, as evidenced by the guy holding a copy of it in the previous picture.

Then why are you here?

You went to a side booth at Comiket and then didn't buy anything?

>>14
Because I like some of his artwork. Just not his recent stuff so much.

>>15
I did buy stuff, just not at ABe's booth.

Anybody know if this doujinshi and his other ones from c74 have been scanned anywhere? Or maybe a good place to buy them from?

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

>>2
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...

>>4
>>5

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
