10/15/16 vs 1/15/26

the first one is also a redraw but i dont have an exact date of the original, and the 10 year gap is more interesting lol

it's not something i regularly go back to but there are many ways in which samflam has shaped my current tastes, and i look back on it fondly

Long time no see, long time no art ...

Cheap tools, mistakes everywhere, Great love and Joy 🥰

Recently I have been re-watching Samurai Flamenco with full attention for like 3 times ( plus 2 times in the past ) and more times watching since I am picking various things each time with more understanding and feelings, I have fully come to love the series, the character, everything it has to offer, stir so much in me.

Busy days/ busy life, difficulties in many aspects of my life. I eventually had to give up all precious simple and luxurious art tools of many kinds which were carefully choosen and compiled for a long time .... And I wasn't allowed to draw openly due to endless reasons...

SamFlam moved my heart and mind, and so my inner passion for drawing/ coloring/ creating things a great deal...

I only have a black lining pen left , combine with borrowed cheap colored pencils and some sheets of paper.

Despite all the mistakes, lack of tools, pigments and time ,

I drew them with Happiness and Love, moments filled with long lost Joy welcome my heart. Thank you for existing....

P/S: Masayoshi is a Libra ♎️ officially ( we are Libra buddies yayy 😆) , but Goto is unknown, according to fan it is May 10th, does that mean he is a Taurus ♉️? I love him and him so much 🥰

P/S 2: not much time to draw, let alone pour my thoughts on myriad things I have noticed and loved in this series....Maybe later...

I'm always saying this.

Samflam and Boueibu both having;

-a hero character voiced by Toshiki Masuda.

-an ep focused specifically on the japanse umbrella stealing phenomenon.

-and a buff axe-wielding former hero (who's heavily idolized by 2 other characters) who was the star of his own tv show, and who ends up reprising his role at some point later in the series.

-Tomokazu Sugita is also there.

had a dream that i went to an anime store and they had a bluray (still in plastic) for a samurai flamenco spin-off series. the front cover had a magical-girl-looking girl on it (similar to mari n the gang but it wasnt any of them) and behind her was another lady who looked to be her manager/assistant (she was wearing headphones w a mic i think? and had a clipboard)

the backdrop was a grey mountainscape with some kind of secret base built onto it, and the title of the series was "Samurai √" (no idea how they pronounced that. samurai radical? samurai square root? im going w radical bcs it sounds cooler)

had another samurai flamenco dream, this time it was abt a movie. the strange thing was that the movie's animation was really good (i remember somewhere at the climax of the film it had an awesome looking red axe fight scene where he came to samumenco's rescue) this was because in my beautiful dream universe samflam was highly successful, and so they had a big budget for an epic movie sequel.

i dont remember the plot exactly, but they where at some kind of secret facility/base on an island. i also vaguely remember it being mentioned that gotou and masayoshi got married sometime after the series but before the movie? so that was cool.

AU where everything is more or less the same as in our universe and the only difference is that back in 2010s Samflam reached mainstream popularity and made a significant impact on popular culture worldwide
