This is how I celebrate Hoshin coming out in English. The above are chibis of the characters that I felt got jipped in the anime/are my favourites/had time to draw. B E C A U S E . . .
Bukichi: He didn't appear in the anime at all, when he's uber-important in the manga. Weird executive descision. Anyways, maybe that's a good thing for him.
Taikoubou: He was annoyingly one-dimensional in the anime. "Oooh, I'm clever!" When he was so much more.
Raishinshi: Even more useless in the anime. -_-;; He actually managed to do some damage in the manga (and look more kickass...)
Suupuushan: His adult form is AWESOME. And he calls Taikoubou a fucking moron at one point. Major respect points.
Kibi: She's just cute. And, we later discover, uber-powerful. Not just copying other people's powers.
Sengyoku: I LOVE this character. She's so awesome. Another one that wasn't even in the anime.
Dokuson: >.> Mole-man.....
Youzen: Because I wanted to draw a fork.
Fugen: ONE LINE. IN TWENTY-SIX EPISODES. D<
Dakki: The anime made her s ditzy slut. D< Not cool. She toppled freaking empires, and she did it by being an intelligent, manipulative bitch. But they reduced her to a concubine. Dumbasses.
I might shade later. <3
Coming soon: Outenkun, Ou Kinij, kou Hiko, and the others I ran out of room for!
I feel like Hoshin Engi's been forgotten! It sucks it's only coming out bi-monthly tho. They've only gotten to the Choukoumei arc and it's been at least a year!!!!
