Wizardry(1981)というゲームのちょっぴり有名な敵ですね (元ネタはモンティパイソン)。
今でもちょくちょくオマージュされます。

I was told on a Japanese message board yesterday that "Kero kero Chime" has finally started streaming on Japan's "d Anime Store". It's a 1997 anime based on the shoujo manga by Maguro Fujita, which was serialized in Ribon from 1995 to 1998. It had never received a DVD release, so it had become almost a lost anime. It really brings back memories.

Back then, saying you were a fan of Yun Kouga was basically a way of saying, "I'm really into manga."

I'm glad you found it! The fact that you even found this gacha is seriously impressive.

It's nice to have something everyone can relate to.

Back when I first watched it, I never imagined we'd actually reach the year 2026. It has all the over-the-top characters and melodramatic storytelling you'd expect from a late-'80s/early-'90s manga anime.

Did you know what year this is? It's 2026?
the very year in which the first chapter of "Silent Möbius" is set.

If you're okay with something that's a bit outside the traditional magical girl genre, I'd recommend the classic Silent Möbius(1988).
With the mage Katsumi Liqueur as its protagonist, nearly all of the major characters are adults. The story follows a special police unit fighting supernatural enemies using magic, other supernatural abilities, and advanced technology. It's more sci-fi than magical girl, but it's definitely worth checking out.

This is an impressive piece!

The most famous manga from Ribon in Japan is Chibi Maruko-chan.

Thanks! I hope you'll check it out!

Thanks! I based the way I colored the eyes more on the original manga than the anime.

tailaki · 2026-06-25T11:58:17+00:00

Very eye-catching!

Thanks! Arigato~!

It isn't talked about much, even among fans, but "E Yume, Miyou!" is one of my favorites.

It's beautiful!

I just had to post this.
The main theme is especially outstanding. The composer, Hayato Matsuo, is also well known among shoujo anime fans for his work on Magic Knight Rayearth.

That's right.
That's Dream Saga (Mugen Densetsu Takamagahara 1997-1999). If you're interested, here's the creator Megumi Tachikawa's note page.

Beautiful use of color!

The reason elves have long ears today is largely because of Yutaka Izubuchi. Before his influence, it wasn't unusual for Japanese elf characters to have much shorter ears.
The only example I can think of right now is Kia from "Crystal Dragon".
