My favorite part is "sky powers". Because wind isn't a cool enough element, apparently.

Can you guys excuse me for a moment... [runs out the house and burst laughing]

Woo! First comment!

The sad thing is, letters like that do happen. Do people really thing manga/anime writers will just make any idea some random stranger gives them into an anime/manga?


The problem is the people mailing them don't think. They simply assume their idea is the greatest thing since sliced bread. And poor poor naive Nina. The real question is would Nina keep the $14 bucks or not?

I don't know, guys. I mean, the ninjas have Fire, Water AND Sky powers. That's pretty unique and amazing.

It needs something more, though. Maybe the main villain can turn out to be the hero's brother! And also, there's this one bad guy who, after the hero beats him, becomes a good guy.

A nice little parody of the Flake of the Week this week... but I was really hoping for another installment revolving around Myoopi's poop.

Ah, Nina, as hilariously expressive as usual.

"Hey, don't you owe me some mon--"
"NO!"

Did Nina really owe Kevin some cash? We may never know...

By the way, greatest idea ever: Fan-sponsored anime productions. Seriously, just get Japanese Animation Company X to place an ad for NarutoClone21435b production donations on American Fansub Site Y, and the green will flood through. That should help keep the industry afloat until digital ownership gets sorted out Laughing

Seriously!

The "fan supported anime production letters" as well as the "manga cows" get abusively bashed in the Answerman column already. There's absolutely no need to give this flaming a continuation in the comic. It's tiresome, redundant, and hypocrite, given the criticism of anime forum flame wars claimed every here and there on ANN.

I found this weeks comic hilarious - I think it's something the majority of anime fans can relate to.

O tell us, TT, of the frootlooped pants...

Please?

This is a great comic Robin, this is just the sort of anime related stuff that's easy and fun to spoof, but you still made it seem fresh with Nina's excited enthusiasm.
Very nice.

I think that arc may continue after a short break... unless Robin's already tired of it. Then Myoopi magically recovers, goes back to pooping candy (Awww...) & Kevin buys a locking cabinet for his figures.

Do not insult the Holy Sacrament of the Fruit Loops. Through its mystic powers, blind have been made to see; lepers have been healed; the Red Sea has been parted; and flakes-of-the-week have become bestselling authors.

Also, stay on topic.
