Sorry, no comic this week, not to mention this is kind of late.

But... Let's play "Where's Waldo." The wonderful game of searching for something hidden in a mess, featuring none other than the awesome Attack All Attackers members. In short, let's call them the "Attack Crew!"

I had the honor of decorating this year's Christmas tree, which in fact is a real tree (first time seeing one up close).

Can you find all 7 members of the Attack Crew hidden in the tree?!

Happy Birthday Shinjiro!

Aww man!
I wanted to get this up on Friday, but then it was Black Friday so I didn't sleep(since Thursday) then I passed out and woke up on Saturday. Right after waking up since I slept through all of Friday, I couldn't work on this because I had to go to a friend's birthday party.

Well HAHA! My animation is now evolving.
I now have the patience to sketch each movement. OMG Nissy is walking!!! He's really walking!!! I am so happy! Yeah no, I did a good job on this one. Naoya will never give up, where ever there's cake, he'll be there. Hahahahaha! This is so cute!

I'm so sorry that this one was posted several days late.

I wanted to get this in sooner, but I couldn't.
I love the revised Shuta, he's so cute!!!
Nissy was not able to avoid the ear-pulling vice-grip of doom. Shuta's painful signature.

But yeah, Shuta had lost the curls and dyed his hair back to brown. I think compared to everyone else, Shuta has the most changes, second to that is Hidaka, then Chiaki... Nishijima is the one with the least amount of changes.

I'm missing the fluffy curls already.

I was going to put up this week's comic now, but... I'm tired and didn't finish. So... It will be up in 10 hours from now or however late I wake up.

MAJOR UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to [community profile] attackallaround , I saw the photo updates for the new Avex site AAA layout.
I got to see everyone's new look, looking good! I noticed that Shuta is not heavily gelled or permed. Out of randomness I decided to "revise" Shuta (again).

Go visit the "Characters" page (it's on my links list) to get a glimpse of the new Shuta, if not, you can wait till later to see it when I put up the next comic.

Happy Birthday Naoya!

I actually almost forgot his birthday was today (yesterday).
My friend Izzy laughed at me and said, "you're a AAA fan, how could YOU forget?"

This is another partly animated comic.
I thought about "Chocolate Factory," and Naoya was one of the misbehaving children. I wanted to make him fat from the cake but cartoon characters never get fat... Going to a cake factory for Naoya's birthday is a dream come true for in-story Naoya. Although, it's more of a baked goods factory. Naoya is just awesome!

I did a "REVISE!"
This version is a little bit different from the original:

Did Shuta just notice now that most of AAA's outfits are nearly as crazy as Johnny's artists? Well... Johnnys are on a different level of insanity of their own. AAA on the other hand gets to wear exclusive designer costumes. Almost all of them look amazing and a few take a turn for the bizarre. I just love looking at all the crazy outfits they wear for performances and photo shoots.

Oh snap! The pownage!!! (I don't really talk like this)
You do not mess with the low-crotch pants.

Too Easy!

It's a puzzle box joke, it brings back memories of first encounter experiences.

Okay... Naoya will know to never ask Misako for a favor ever again.
Frustration and laziness can lead to very interesting things. Let's hope Misako can avoid getting in trouble with Max for destroying his puzzle box which was entrusted to Naoya.

I would totally cry if someone did that to my puzzle box. I made a road trip all the way to Hakone just to buy one and they're so cool. It's easy to open if you understand the mechanism. If you don't know, then you'll be spending an irritating 30 minutes on it (if your attention lasts that long).

I apologize for not posting any panels this past week.
Mid-terms are killing me, I need to write two speeches...

But I am working on the next comic, honest.
It'll be good, it's titled "Too Easy!"
I will post it up next week, believe me, you don't want to see the rough draft... it's scary (my stick figures are very scary)...

Yes... I sound childish, but I MADE A PUMPKIN NISHI!!!!
Yah! Based off the chibi Nishijima.
Halloween wouldn't be complete without a Jack-O-Lantern, right?!

BEFORE LIGHTS OUT


AFTER LIGHTS OUT


I spent a lot of time on this one pumpkin.
Ack! My arm is killing me. It feels as if I have no strength left in my hand and arm, all because of this pumpkin. I'm dead serious, I can't move my fingers! I can't even pick up a pencil let alone type. I'm typing with my left hand right now.

I was going to get this up sooner and I apologize for not being able to. This is a continuation of the previous one.

I thought it would be funny to make the transition here, more of my weird humor.

The "duo of doom" (dumb and dumber brothers) strikes again!
I'll just leave Nissy to your imagination...

Instead of "yada," I was originally going to use "no." However, I remember one time, senpai visited and I was scrolling through some AAA concerts for editing. There was one performance where Nishijima starts striping (anyone remember that one?). I was scrolling quickly and I didn't know senpai was watching, so I skipped it and senpai just screams "YADAAAAAAA!" I just said, there was nothing to see anyways... (no offense Nissy, I still love you!)

Haha! Enjoy!

Sorry everyone,
I'm not up for finishing the last two Shinjiro pictures.
So TEIOH will be the last one. I am so going to fail my mid-term!
But I will say that Shin Week was a success!

Anyways, I will get back on track with the stories.
I'm going to be working on the next one tonight. It will be put up today or tomorrow based on how fast I work.

Then I need to go run-through some non-AAAttackers character designs with someone. I've created a new character and I need some opinions. The idea came to me in a dream (cheesy but true). I guess it's telling me to not give up so soon...

TEIOH was another great drama Shinjiro had starred in. Shinjiro's character gets into a lot of trouble went his girlfriend is snatched away by an arrogant host. So the main character (Tsukamoto Takashi) whom is his friend, seeks revenge, makes a bet with the host and joins the nightlife scene by becoming a host himself. Eventually, the main character chases the host out of town. In the ever so tough world of the Japanese nightlife, Shin and the main character  struggle to run a host club together. After many disastrous moments, both of them end up running a cabaret club instead. After settling into what now seems like a stable situation, trouble arises again...

This made me laugh a little because I was discussing spiked hair with someone not too long ago. But umm... I also laughed because I had never drawn Shinjiro with spiked hair. It's the DBZ phase all over again. I'm kidding! Yeah, Shin's hair was very interesting during the "Breakdown" era. (I don't even recognize him in this picture)

This part of "Shin Week!"
An interview about Shinjiro's first acting job, plus a flashback.

I don't know about you guys, but when I was reading the "Shinrei Tantei Yakumo" series, it made me super paranoid! I was so afraid to go to sleep fearing nightmares. I would keep telling myself, "there's nothing under my bed, there's nothing under my bed, there's nothing under my bed, there's nothing under my bed!" This was kind of based off a true event. My roommate decided to play a horrible trick on me one time, after knowing that I read such a scary manga...

That manga would shake anyone up!
Especially gullible me.

But yeah, this is also a partial intro to the troublesome two, aka the "dumb and dumber brothers."

Okay... that was a really lame title.
One of Shinjiro's most memorable roles would probably be the uptight class president in "Delicious Gakuen."

DeliGaku is probably the first drama I've ever seen with Shin in it. At first, he came off as a jerk, but then further into the story, it shows that he had a good heart all along. It was just the best drama ever!!!
 
Don't forget, there's still more in store for Shin week!!!

Today... but October 3rd Japan time(yesterday). The anime version of "Shinrei Tantei Yakumo"  (Psychic Detective Yakumo) was just released and is  now airing on NHK. In the past, Shinjiro Atae starred as the main character of the live-action drama version. Although, he has nothing to do with the anime, I thought it would be cool to make an homage to the series featuring Shinjiro, since he's worked on it once before. I made some fanart!


Here you go! Doesn't Shin look cool?!
 
I'm just so pumped up, I can't wait until people start subbing the anime. I've seen the drama and it was pretty good, but I wish it was less dialogue. Ahaha... don't get me started on the manga... mind blowing. Speaking of manga, the anime will be based off the "revised series," not the original storyline.

This is the big kick-off for SHINJIRO WEEK!!!
Stay tuned for more specials as we honor Shinjiro's acting career.
Shinrei Tantei Yakumo was only the beginning!

Happy Birthday to Nishijima Takahiro!!!
Otanjoubi Omedetou!!!

Nisshi's birthday tribute is up...
Wahhhh...
I'm so beat!!! This partially animated comic runs for 98 motion panels.
Never again will I animate something of a large scale!
I deeply apologize if this post is killing everyone's loading time.

Anyways, I have this ongoing inside joke of Naoya being a confiscator of cakes, in other words, a cake monster (like the cookie monster). This was fun to make (except for the part where I did it in one sitting).

Can I die now? Seriously, this one took a lot of energy.
I would very much so like to go to sleep now. Good Night...

Stay tuned for next week's special update!!!

This will be this week's post.
I was drawing/coloring from 10:00pm up until 1:30am.
Enjoy the fury of Nishijima's wrath.
Just where did Naoya get that surrender flag? It just spontaneously appeared...

I need to go take a well deserved break now.
Stay tuned for next week's update!

The seventh and final interview is up!!!!!!
I felt really lazy with this one.
Anywho... Stories will begin somewhere this upcoming week!
One post a week is my limit. I might die of exhaustion from drawing everyday.

Poor Shuta, no one wants to talk to him.
But he's a cool lone wolf. The hair revise was last minute, the perm stays!
He must find some relaxation in his headstands. I just get a headache from drawing him in that pose.

Sixth interview is now up!
Tomorrow will be the last interview and it'll mark the beginning of the stories.
Remember, after tomorrow's post, I'll only post once a week! (or month, depending on my mood)

But yes, Hidaka loves his mischievous ways.
Because of my randomness, Hidaka now has a pet octopus named "Tako-chan."

I forgot that I needed to leave the city for work.
I first thought, "oh no! What am I going to do? Batavia/Lake in the Hills has no scanners, how am I going to get my comics up?!" WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Then I arrived in Lake in the Hills last night. The workers for the restaurant stay here, in this house. I'm in the office room, where I hook up my laptop. I look under the table... and whadya know!!!!! There's a new unused scanner under the table. I totally forgot we had that. Duh! I was the one who picked it out.

Yay! I have a scanner, so no worries.
Although, because of my work schedule, I'll post it up really late.
Like, wayyyyyyyyy after midnight. Early warning.
