#Animation #動畫 ( #Donghua ) #アニメ ( #Anime ) [ #Rubberhose ]

Given just HOW Important it was for Japan's Mythology, History & Shinto Practice. I'm surprised that there's VERY Few #Kojiki (lit. "Ancient Matters Record") Adaptations. Sure, you'll see MANY nods to it, but for Legit Adaptions you'd expect more than just These & a Few Obscure Manga. #古事記

[ #西遊記 / #西游记 - #Xiyouji ] #孫悟空 - #SunWukong #JttW / #JourneytotheWest 600 Years of Growing Power & Amorality 500 Years of Imprisonment 14 Years of Journeying to India 81 Trials to Endure Immortality, Respect, Freedom, Redemption & Enlightenment! #GameScience [ #黑神話悟空 - #BlackMythWukong ]

#AbsoluteBatman #AbsoluteJoker #DC/#DetectiveComics I find it both Absolutely Hilarious & Terrifying that Absolute Joker is basically a Combination of THESE 4 Monsters!

#Fortnite #DannyPhantom #Nicktoons #Nickelodeon Seeing Danny's Fortnite Model has made me gain a MUCH Better Appreciation for Nick Kart Racers 3, Nick Extreme Tennis, SMITE's 3D Models for Danny! These ain't Perfect, but at least They look more Appealing...

#浪浪山小妖怪 #LangLangShanXiaoYaoguai #NOBODY Not as Good as Nezha 2, but this was still PEAK #Donghua and such a Funny & Bittersweet Twist on #Xiyouji aka, Journey to the West! This is also the Highest Grossing 2D Animated Film in China & it genuinely earns that Spot! #西遊記 #西游记 #JttW #JourneytotheWest

#Yōkai #妖怪 #Shinto #神道 #JapaneseArt #Mythology Some of My Personal Favorite #Artwork by Famous #Japanese Historian & #Manga Artist, 水木 しげる - Mizuki Shigeru (1922 - 2015)! #Mangaka: #水木しげる - #ShigeruMizuki #ゲゲゲの鬼太郎 #GGGnK #GeGeGeNoKitarō

#SpongeBobSquarePants #THQNordic #TitansoftheTide Just finished Titans of the Tide, so I've decided to quickly update My Tier-List on #SpongeBob Video Games! #SBSP (1/2) [ #Nickelodeon #Nicktoons #THQ #NickGames ]

#TitansoftheTide #DiceofDestiny #SonicRacingCrossWorlds 2025 has truly been a Special Year for SpongeBob in terms of Video Games! [ #SpongeBob #Nicktoons #Sonic #VideoGames ]

#KingdomHearts #キングダムハーツ #Disney #FinalFantasy The more I reread/revisit Shiro Amano's Manga, the more I realize that Amano does for Kingdom Hearts what Ted Woolsey did for Kefka in #FFVI and what both Machinabridged & REBIRTH also did for #FFVII in My Opinion... (1/2)

#HappyHalloween #Halloween2025 #Mythology To celebrate #Halloween, I like to highlight 2 Spooky Entities from African Diaspora Folklore! Zombi (Haitian) - A Corpse Reanimated & Enslaved by a Bokor, a Vodou Priest Boo Hag (Gullah Geechee) - A Skinless Hag that steals the Skin/Breath of it's Victims

#PinkyMalinky #Netflix #Nickelodeon #Animation #Nicktoons The Evolution of Babs Buttman's Design from Pinky Malinky! No, I will NOT add more Context...

#Popeye #PopeyetheSailorMan #Gertrude #IHateFairyland #Comics The Crossover I Never Thought I Wanted, but I'm REALLY Glad We Got!

SpongeBob SquarePants Lights Camera Pants (7.5/10) A Genuinely Solid Party Game that adapts it's Nicktoon IP into the Genre in a Pretty Clever Way! A Lot of the Minigames are Fun, The Cutscenes are Expressive, The Music is Great and Nearly 20 Years Later, it still holds up Fairly Well!

#Xiyouji (Japanese: #Saiyuki) - #JttW #西遊記 / #西游记 - #JourneytotheWest Really thinking about it, it wasn't necessarily Journey to the West (specifically, the 1592 Novel) that influenced Countless Manga & Anime, but rather it's Adaptations by Osamu Tezuka, TOEI & Nippon TV that did... (1/2)

Yes, I DID watch (& countlessly rewatched) The Unlikely Cyphers Video about Cereal Mascots by The Stupendium! Yes, it DID get me into watching Cereal Mascot Commercials! And NO, I (mostly) didn't regret it... Seriously tho, his Cereal Cypher is FANTASTIC!!!

#Nickelodeon #Nicktoons #Nick #VideoGames #NicktoonsUnite After finishing Nicktoons & the Dice of Destiny and having my Overall Thoughts on it fully settled in, I've decided to update my Nick #Crossover Game Tier List! #NicktoonsandtheDiceofDestiny #DiceofDestiny #NatDoD

#KingdomHearts #キングダムハーツ #SpongeBob #KingKong The Holy Trinity of 6th Gen Licensed Games! #Disney #SquareSoft #Nickelodeon #THQ #Universal #Ubisoft

#NickelodeonAllStarBrawl2 #NicktoonsandtheDiceofDestiny 80s Splinter would've been very proud of what you said, SpongeBob! #NASB2 #NatDoD #DiceofDestiny #Nickelodeon

Weird it took nearly 100 WHOLE Chapters of War for an Army of Warriors (some even with Deified Powers) to defeat a Sexist Lazy King & his Sadistic Fox Waifu! Then after both Villains die, said Warriors use a Magic Scroll to deify 365 of their Fallen Allies & even Foes from said War! #封神演义 (1/2)

#SpongeBob #deBlob #Shantae #VideoGames I know I'm alone on this, but I thinks it would be Pretty Fun & Cathartic seeing these 3 Characters meet & interact with Each Other, Officially or Otherwise! For anyone confused... Look up #WayForward & Blue Tongue Entertainment's List of Games!

History or Tales of Times Past, with Morals by Charles Perrault (1697) Little Chaperon Red Cinder-Girl & the Little Slippers of Glass The Beauty in-the Woods Sleeping Master Cat or The Cat's Boots Beard Blue Little Thumb Riquet with the Tuft The Fae Skin Donkey #CharlesPerrault #Literature #Folklore

There's a Funny Juxtaposition to how Iconic Characters from #Literature & #Mythology are often Visually Depicted in Pop Culture compared to what They ACTUALLY Look Like according to the Original Text or Ancient Art! #Dracula #BramStoker #西遊記 #Xiyouji #JttW #Greek #Medusa #Frankenstein #MaryShelley

#Shrek #Shrek2 #ShrekSuperSlam #DreamWorks One Thing that'll always amuse me is how Luxoflux & Shaba Games both decided to just make their OWN Versions of Little Red Riding Hood for Shrek 2 Team Action & Shrek Super Slam, completely ignoring the Canon One from the Movies! Honestly, a Smart Choice...

#Shinto #神道 #Daoism #道教 #Hellenism #Ἑλληνισμός #Norse #Mythology + Classic 2D #Animation = (Often) Peak Results! #わんぱく王子の大蛇退治 [1963] - #古事記 #大鬧天宮 / #大闹天宫 [1961/1964] - #西遊記 / #西游记 #Περσεύς / #Персей [1973] - #Βιβλιοθήκη #Valhalla [1986] - #Edda / #ProseEdda

These Two would HATE each other if They ever got to meet! (1/2) #Xuanzang #玄奘 #TangSanzang #唐三藏 #GenjoSanzo #玄奘三藏 [1] Tang Sanzang - 1592's #Xiyouji [ #西遊記 / #西游记 ] [2] Genjō Sanzō - Kazuya Minekura's #Saiyuki [ #最遊記 ] #JttW #JourneytotheWest #峰倉かずや #KazuyaMinekura

#西遊記 #西游记 = #Xiyouji - #JttW #JourneytotheWest (Japanese: #Saiyuki, Korean: #서유기 - #Seoyugi) With Black Myth: Wukong's 1st Year Anniversary being in 10 Days, it got me thinking... Besides #BMW, What's Your FAVORITE Journey to the West Games?! #黑神話悟空 #BlackMythWukong #孫悟空 #SunWukong

#KOEI #コーエー #Sangokushi #HoshinEngi #Saiyuki #Suikoden Japanese Video Games by Koei that are based on Four Classical Chinese Novels! 1) #三國誌 #三国志 Sanguozhi, JP: Sangokushi 2) #封神演義 #封神演义 Fengshen Yanyi, JP: Hōshin Engi 3) #西遊記 #西游记 Xiyouji, JP: Saiyūki 4) #水滸傳 #水浒传 Shuihu Zhuan, #水滸伝 JP: Suikoden

#CrocodileBaron #ワニ男爵 #AnimalHuman #動物人間 #Manga If you like Animals, Comedy & a Certain Level of Horror; then I REALLY recommend checking out Crocodile Baron & Animal Human, both written & drawn by Takuya Okada. They're both Pretty Fun & Interesting Reads! #TakuyaOkada

#Ragnarök (lit. "Rulers' Fate") Three Fimbulvetr come Fenrir/Garmr's chains break Skӧll & Hati devour Sól & Máni Yggdrasill shudders Jörmungandr/Miðgarðsormr twists Seas Hrymr, Loki, Jötnar & Hel's Men sail Naglfar Surtr & Múspell's Sons follow Oðinn, Æsir & Einherjar prepared to battle their Fate

#Xiyouji #西遊記 #JttW #JourneytotheWest #京劇 #PekingOpera I think My Favorite Thing about the Wan Brothers' #大鬧天宮 (1961-1964) is how well it adapts the Style & Music of Peking Opera into Animation! Also, Sun Wukong being a Chaotic Grandpa like in the 1592 Novel... #HavocinHeaven #大闹天宫 #SunWukong #孫悟空

#IHF #IHateFairyland #SkottieYoung Gertrude being a Miserable, Stressed yet Horny Mother with Dozens of Chaotic Sassy Children is Hilarious! No, I will NOT add more Context! Either read Issue 42 of I Hate Fairyland OR Just assume that those are also Duncan's Kids & He left Gert to "Get the Milk"...

#Shrek #DreamWorks [ #DarkHorse #DarkHorseComics #DHC ] So, Anyone remember that Time when Shrek got Official Tie-In #Comics written by Mark Evanier, Art by Ramon Bachs & Raul Fernandez AND was Published by Dark Horse Comics? Really? Just Me...

#西遊記 #西游记 #Xiyouji - #SunWukong #孫悟空 #孙悟空 #JttW #JourneytotheWest [ #ShenMo #神魔 ] #Chinese Some of My Personal Favorite Iterations of Sun Wukong! The Yaoguai Monkey King of Mount Flower-Fruit, the Equal-Tian Great-Sage & the Unruly Trickster Xingzhe Disciple of Tang Sanzang!

#TheWonderfulWizardofOz #LFrankBaum #TheWizardofOz I'm in a bit of an #OZ Mood, So... What are you Guys' Favorite Designs of Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Woodman & The Cowardly Lion across Various Media? Personally, Here's Mine! 1) #WWDenslow 2) #オズの魔法使い [1986] 3) #SkottieYoung 4) #EnriqueFernandez

#西遊記/#西游记 - #Xiyouji #JttW / #JourneytotheWest ( Japanese: #Saiyuki, Korean: #서유기 - #Seoyugi ) 1) Gokū no Daibōken 2) Monkey Magic (1998/1999) 3) KOEI's Saiyūki (Journey to the West) 4) Wukong Xiaoxia #LegoMonkieKid I think they would all be Good Friends... (1/2) #悟空の大冒険 #モンキーマジック #KOEI #LMK #悟空小俠

#SpongeBob #SBSP #Pressure #BikiniAtoll #Nickelodeon "Ah, Bikini Atoll. Though a Victim of Unfortunate Past Nuclear Testing, the Island's Marine Life have proved Adaptable & Resilient to the Effects of it's Radiation Poisoning. If ending up a bit Mutated & Odd..." - Frenchy (French Narrator)

#JtHM #Squee #IFeelSick #InvaderZim #JhonenVasquez While I don't dislike the Soft & Round Look of Enter the Florpus & get it was done to save on the Budget! I still kinda wish the Movie FULLY retained the Angular Edge of Jhonen Vasquez's Modern Artstyle! Take for Instance... All THESE Examples!!!

#TheWizardofOZ #TheChroniclesofOZ #LFrankBaum Rewatched The Chronicles of OZ & I'm STILL shocked this Series' isn't more Well Known! It's a Great Modern Adaptation of L Frank Baum's 1st Three Wizard of #OZ Books! Also, the Theme Song by Tony Diana is an Utter BANGER! soundcloud.com/tony-diana-1...

#西遊記 #西游记 - #Xiyouji = #JttW / #JourneytotheWest (Japanese: #Saiyūki, Korean: #서유기 - #Seoyugi) With how similar Donkey Kong & Pauline's Dynamic in DK Bananza was to Ralph & Vanellope and Sully & Boo. It just made me realize something... 2 CGI #Donghua Journey to the West Films ALSO did this Trope!

Kinda Disappointed with how the Kids (Sebastian & Gabby) look! I would've preferred a Modern Take of the Boy & Sally's Designs from The Cat in the Hat Book, like the Concept Art of this New Film or the 3rd Pic; Art by Seussedge! At least something more Seuss-ish in Design... #TheCatintheHat #DrSeuss

#CathyComic #CathyGuisewite So, I rewatched ALL 3 #CATHY Specials & I LOVE Them! It's basically "Adult Peanuts"! Cathy & Irving's Relationship is Entertaining (& REALLY Sad) to Watch and the Voice Acting is Fantastic & Surprisingly Grounded! Also, We NEED a Cathy Reanimated Collab!

The Playful Charm of Tadashi Yamashita's Design/Art of Pac-Man! [ #PACMAN / #パックマン & #NAMCO / #ナムコ ] (1/2)

#InvaderZim #JhonenVasquez #Comics #Nickelodeon #OniPress "They never Stopped, They never Learned, They were always at Each Other's Heads, Throats & Organs for Over 20 Years! And at the End, it ALWAYS Deservingly Screwed Both of Them Over!" Invader ZIM by Jhonen Vasquez (1999/2001 - 2021)
