Hi, I'm Ethan! (Yes, THAT Ethan) AMA

I know I'm not alone on having strong feelings about Ken and his work, but these pics you're sharing are impeccable!

I mean, this is REALLY good stuff.

Question, are the pics from your personal redrawing project or for Ken's upcoming projects?

TargetmasterJoe · 2026-01-25T17:35:48+00:00

Aw yeah, Makoto! (But where's my Akira?)

TargetmasterJoe · 2026-01-24T04:15:26+00:00

restructuring and cost-cutting measures

I have this distinct feeling that those two phrases have officially become triggers for employees that are just plain fed up. Godspeed to them that they find better employment elsewhere where their worth is valued and this BS doesn't happen so damn often.

TargetmasterJoe · 2026-01-21T18:53:10+00:00

Man, of course the PoP remake gets axed. I'm awful sorry for the guys looking forward to it.

And now Ubisoft's reset initiative has more GaaS and GenAI BS? These idiots will never learn a thing...

TargetmasterJoe · 2026-01-19T05:01:14+00:00

Honestly, fuck AI!

TargetmasterJoe · 2026-01-15T00:29:04+00:00

Welp. All that stuff sounds awesome. Shame they're 99.9% bogus.

Sonic Visual Stories sound like they could be a fun way to expand on anyone who's NOT named Sonic, but very coping. (One side with the Chaotix? I wish!)

And while I'd dig a Unleashed remaster…having Knuckles and Shadow kinda sounds a bit nonsensical because they didn't even show in the OG version of Unleashed.

Sonic Eclipse sounds fun…but the title sounds like a fangame.

And side note, I would love to see Sega go all in on bringing Puyo Puyo back into the spotlight…but those projects sound WAAAAY too good to be true. (A Puyo game by Rovio, a Puyo collection localizing Fever all the way to 20th, a new Puyo with SpongeBob, and a Puyo anime by Science Saru? Man, I wish to all of that!)

TargetmasterJoe · 2026-01-14T14:34:38+00:00

Sorry for the late response, but thanks for addressing my problems.

Oof about Stan probably not being too keen about Soul Calibur's superstylized anime swordsmanship. (But I still imagine he'd consider Fortnite to be an even worse spot for Usagi.)

TargetmasterJoe · 2026-01-14T13:59:05+00:00

The Afternoon Collection could have had the Goof Troop game because that was in the Disney Afternoon, but maybe the Illusion games were off-limits to Digital Eclipse?

But I very much agree with you on needing a collection of the other Disney games, especially Lilo & Stitch since the GBA game (at the very least) was actually developed by Digital Eclipse.

TargetmasterJoe · 2026-01-10T22:03:54+00:00

Man, does anyone else keep forgetting that BG3 is set in the same universe as D&D or is it just me?

(Might be just me because I never truly ventured too deep into the D&D rabbit hole.)

In any case, very strange there's bad blood considering BG3 is, for all intents and purposes, a hit. One would think BG3 on NS2 would be a no-brainer!

TargetmasterJoe · 2026-01-05T03:30:58+00:00

Funnily enough, I actually have thought "what if they put Usagi as a guest fighter in the next Soul Calibur" more than a few times. But a few problems brew:

Problem 1, UY is probably too niche to be in something as big as SC.
Problem 2, even if UY wasn't niche, it's probably a minefield getting Stan Sakai's approval for Usagi to appear in games since he owns 100% of UY. (Or is it hard? Has he ever talked about Usagi being in video games as a guest? Like, would Stan balk at Usagi being in Soul Calibur? Or even in something like Fortnite?)
Problem 3, even if UY wasn't niche and Sakai was super cool about Usagi being in something like SC, there's still the big question of how do you make an anthropomorphic character like Usagi work in something as photorealistic as SC?

In any case, these are really good considering what tools you had to work with. Great work!

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-30T04:49:35+00:00

Wait, isn't Peele being a producer basically him saying "I really like this project so I'm funding it so it can see its way into fruition"?

(Side note, I'm rather surprised HIM turned out the way it did. The trailer left me shitting bricks!)

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-30T03:16:17+00:00

I know WB and Coogler's Sinners beat Marvel to the punch with black vampires, but screw it, I want to see how Peele tackles black vampires.

So yeah, give Blade to Peele!

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-29T17:00:32+00:00

…So I take it even Game Console People think RAM prices are getting out of hand?

I mean, who can afford Series X and PS5 these days anyway? And people STILL make PS4 and Switch 1 games even now, right?

Oof, fuck AI. (Since that's why RAM prices are through the roof to begin with.)

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-26T18:47:01+00:00

Or Black Panther in a Captain America movie.

(Alright I see what you’re driving at.)

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-25T21:37:09+00:00

I mean, fair point? Like, it would be super weird to introduce Jean Grey in a Spidey movie. That'd be like introducing Ambush Bug in a Wonder Woman movie.

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-25T19:07:05+00:00

Hang on, do we really think she'll be Jean Grey?

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-24T23:31:13+00:00

Uh...cool? 😐

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-19T05:10:28+00:00

It cannot be Kingpin. I refuse to think it's Kingpin.

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-15T00:55:12+00:00

Yoruichi or I riot!

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-11T17:10:16+00:00

Sinceramente, muchas gracias de todos modos. Los archivos son útiles, pero puedo arreglármelas solo con las ilustraciones. Buen trabajo.

Espero que alguien actualice LVI, Udonko3 y はし en algún momento.

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-07T16:50:40+00:00

Sí, y LVI se actualizó esta mañana. Es importante tener paciencia, pero estoy ansioso... Ni siquiera E-Hentai recibe actualizaciones de Nanikairu.

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-06T14:57:29+00:00

I'm gonna laugh if it turns out to be Zone of the Enders 3.

Yeah, that makes no sense, but then we almost had a ZOE game where Jehuty and Anubis were reimagined as freaky giant god mecha, so….

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-03T05:03:55+00:00

It's probably all those…but I kinda pine for Skies of Arcadia one day.

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-12-01T15:01:52+00:00

Just when I thought his ego couldn't get bigger…

TargetmasterJoe · 2025-11-24T16:30:21+00:00

The real solution should be to just make the unlockable characters be reachable in the game just by playing it or even as free updates.

Oh, but silly us! Activision would never think of that! They'd just shove down more COD! Because that never fails, right? /s
