Okay in my 2nd novel, I have this nerdy character who also happens to be named Kevin (purely consindental), anyways he's a total nerd who gets teased in the story who decides to seek revenge against those that harmed him by joining Damien the villain(so he's an antagonist for much of the novel)... any ways, he's 16 and yet he has not reached prubity so he had the psyiyic of a 12 year old... So I think it's safe to say... that Kevin is more patheic than my Kevin... sad...

Side note to this: Kevin's love interest (who was introuded in my frist novel) happens to be named Nina... I wasn't think about the comic strip when I came up with the names, it just happened that way (and I came up with the names when the comic was new so it didn't matter)


ehhh.. what?

Just as a comment on Fushugi Yuugi, does it ever get good? I'm borrowing the DVDs from my friend, who could only make it halfway through before giving up, and it seems pretty bad. I finished the first seven episodes. It's generic shoujo, there's no comedy, the lead is irritating in both languages, less on the dub because the voice is slightly deeper. On top of that, the art is terrible; backgrounds = what? Why does everyone love it so much? Are people who like all like the girl using Kevin, insane?


Do you realize that Fushiugi Yuugi came out in 1995? It was a instant hit as a shojo anime back then. Of course it looks bad when it's compared to many animes being produced nowadays.

I think that Fushugi Yuugi is used here as a symbol of the shoujo reincarnation of Dragon Ball- series which is not a masterpiece but some time ago had something that made children crazy about it. Most of this children have grown up and now trying to re-watch it wonder why were they so fascinated by it, but some of them didn't-like Kevin's girlfriend.

Oh gawd, <shudder> this whole thing is "unholy". That chick is insane. More like fanatically insane.

Hmmm...wonder what she does in her "real" spare time. Shocked

Can't help but think that the artist being asked to look at Kevin's non-existent chest is Robin's cameo appearance into her own comic. :-)


Wouldn't put it past her since Nobuhiro Watsuki (creator of Rurouni Kenshin, Buso Renkin, Gun Blaze West) made appearences as a pig in Buso Renkin.

So its not entirely uncommon.

The girlfriend is delusional. In her mind, I bet Kevin's chest looks fantastic.

Just a person who writes in their spare time that happened to come up with similar characters and exact names. No harm there.

The first song I ever wrote (which won first prize in a competition) was an intentional plagiarism of Yasunori Mitsuda's "Millenial Fair" from the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. I didn't notice this until 4 years later, when I replayed Chrono Trigger and had an "oh sh!t" moment. Sometimes these things just subconsciously... happen.

Anyway, great comic Robin!

No it's not a fanfic, I am a fanfic writer, it's not an Anime News Nina fic but rather an actual novel I'm writing with the same names.... I was jut pointing out the fact that Kevin is more pathetic than the 16 year old who has yet to go thorough prubity who also happens to be named Kevin.

Thought I shouldn't have brought up Nina from my novel (who happens to be the complete opposite of Nina from the comic)

I've still seen plenty of anime from that era that have decent animation and are of comparable length, I wasn't comparing it to shows today. It might also be somewhat due to Geneon cramming 6-7 episodes on a disc.

S'alright Emma. I don't think there's any real need to defend yourself here - I doubt anyone was nodding along to Teriyaki's insightful 'weboo' comment.
