I'm panicking because I got an email saying it'll arrive tomorrow. I need to organize the walls in my room.

My sister, who's a huge Fallout fan, is thrilled. By the way, in the Japanese dub, Lucy is voiced by Sawashiro and Cooper is voiced by Horiuchi. youtu.be/ECI3eCAxRGw?...

As a Kirby fan, I can make my breakfast entirely out of collaboration foods.

It arrived!

The CD featuring The IIIRD Eye will arrive at my house soon. Once it gets here, I plan to play it on repeat while drawing manga.

For some reason, in my art style, Fake Lupin always ends up looking like he just woke up from a nap.

Some fan art for @vegetablesaute.bsky.social, I love their version of Fake Lupin

It's year-end, so I filled out and submitted those incredibly tedious income tax settlement forms. I'm going to use the money I'll probably get refunded to go to the Lupin exhibition scheduled for this winter in Tokyo. I wonder if the announcement will be next month?

Final Destination Bloodlines was really good. I went to the next prefecture just to see it in theaters, and it was totally worth it.

The gift from @tabbiewolf.bluestripedboxers.com and @mystsaphyr.art has finally arrived at my house after a long journey! Thank you so much!

YAY! bz-vermillion.com/news/251003....

I'm trying to organize the notes I took at Lupin's talk shows in Tokyo, but my handwriting is so messy it feels like I'm deciphering the Voynich Manuscript.

By the way, here's an ice cream with the same hardness as Shinkansen ice cream. When completely frozen, you can use it like a hammer to drive nails into a board. www.imuraya-group.com/english/prod...

SHINKANSEN ICE CREAM

Tsushi and I had a really lovely time hanging out with @vegetablesaute.bsky.social in Osaka today, sketching, talking about the new Lupin Koike film, and eating at the Kirby cafe! Oh my goodness the food there was adorable. Thank you so much for bringing us with you!

Today I went sightseeing in Osaka with @tsushi.bsky.social and @alexisroyce.ink. It was great fun and I received many presents. Thank you so much! I hope you both enjoy the rest of your trip to Japan!

My sister made me pancakes for my birthday.

Yesterday was my day off, so I spent about five or six hours drawing manga, but my neck got really sore. Seven years ago, I used to draw manga for about eight hours on my days off and never had that problem. I feel old.

Both the JUNK HEAD brochure and the JUNK WORLD brochure are exceptionally lavish, so you should definitely get hold of them if you get the chance.

I am making an effort to watch more weird movies. I am currebtly watching "Junkhead" its free on tubi and awesome?!?! Stop motion animation!!!

See you all tomorrow! #sabotencon2025 #SabotenCon

I just put together a decent number of manga storyboards for the first time in years. I wish I could hole up in some hot spring inn for a few months and live a life of nothing but drawing manga.

If the Blu-ray of The Immortal Bloodline is released in the United States, I hope they include the storyboards and script in their entirety, just like they did with Mamo.

I'm back! 16!

Me: All five LUPIN THE IIIRD films are being re-released in Shibuya, but I've had a lot of expenses lately, so I don't think I can go. Bank: Your fixed-term deposit has matured, so we have deposited 500,000 yen into your account. Me: I'm going to Tokyo!

I was able to purchase tickets for the "Zenigata and the Two Lupins" talk show and the "The Immortal Bloodline" talk show (afternoon session). Photography and recording are prohibited during the talk shows, so I will do my best to take notes.

Finding any consistent editing work has been difficult and I've taken a financial hit this month, especially with prepping for my first convention guest appearance coming up. If you could spare any amount, it would help me a great deal. Share this post please. paypal.me/aficionadoschris

The second battle will begin at 6 p.m. today. (The first battle was won.)

When I went to Tokyo, I bought some famous hard ice cream at the Shinkansen platform. But by the time I got on the Shinkansen, it had melted and turned into normal ice cream. What a terrible heat wave.

Tickets for the talk show about Zenigata and the Two Lupins, which will be held in Tokyo, go on sale today at 6 PM. It’s first come, first served. I was originally scheduled to work this evening, but I took a few hours off just so I could try for tickets. Wish me luck, everyone.

I went to the movie bar and talked with the owner about Lupin (he is a Lupin fan). We got really excited talking about how Island of Assassins stands out among the TV specials, with both its animation drawing and script being exceptionally high in quality, almost abnormally so.

There will be a talk show by Kurita and Kataoka at Mitsukoshi, and the second exhibition will be held this winter. How many times do I have to go to Tokyo?

I always think, "Instead of selling unusually expensive paintings and statues, they should release storyboard collections and key frames art books," but one reason they prioritize merchandise over art books may be because merchandise doesn't have to worry about being scanned and illegally uploaded.

The key frames for Zenigata and the Two Lupins was superb. It's a shame that photography was prohibited and I can't share it with everyone. I hope that as much of it as possible will be included in the booklet when the Blu-ray is released. Especially the key frames of Fake Lupin.

If anyone would like the three-piece set consisting of The Immortal Bloodline brochure, art book (second edition only), and Lupin sticker, I will give it away. (Moots only) (Limited to the first person only)

According to someone who visited there, photography of the exhibits (key frames) is prohibited. I'll enjoy it on my own! Sorry! (I think I can go on this Sunday.)

A huge thanks to Lupin Central for giving us the opportunity to share our views on the last instalment of Takeshi Koike's Lupin!! #lupinthethird #anime #takeshikoike #lupintheiiird #lupiniii
