Next week is going to have a bunch of crazy days so whether or not I get the intended commentaries done I have yet to see. There are trailers for the Godzilla/Kong movie that I’m trying to not be spoiled on. There’s a lighter commentary I could have written but I’m trying to get my art laptop setup and this is all I had time for. I’ll go over that more this weekend over at The Clutter Reports but I can’t make comics without that all put together.
So here is an interesting commentary from Comics, By Perch I thought you’d be interested in. Perch is starting his own comic store and his own comic, plus he’s also been to Japan numerous times, so of course he’s paid attention to how Japan and the US approach comics in their culture. The video talks a bit about manga but also about digital comics and why they work so much better over there than here.

Consider this a postscript to yesterday’s video by New Frame Plus about the animation of Sonic The Hedgehog games, which is mentioned in the video. Also, there may be some swearing because Jeff is like that.
Catch more anime and occasional video game discussion over at Mother’s Basement’s YouTube channel.

While I do have a few rants in the coffers raring to go, given my condition this week I’d rather spend the time tonight talking about something fun and hoping I don’t have to deal with missing out on a hot topic. So let’s talk Sonic The Hedgehog, one of the premiere titles for the Sega Genesis (or MegaDrive for those outside the US), and a franchise that has been hit or miss. Sega’s blue mascot and the tool they used to fight Nintendo and Mario is beloved by many gamers, though some of the more recent games have been of questionable quality and story. While the original games were developed in house by Sonic Team other game creators have had their chance to play with the hedgehog and his friends to varying degrees of success.
However, we’re not looking at game play or even story this round. No, Dan over at gaming channel PlayFrame is an animator, and thus animation is his big interest for his other channel, New Frame Plus. In this video, which is about 1:45 in length so have a seat, Dan goes over the main console Sonic games to see how the animation of the playable characters has evolved and occasionally devolved over the many years of the series.
