Try Thunderbirds 2086 the anime version of the old British Thunderbirds, which saw a third incarnation in Turbocharged Thunderbirds, where the crew of Thunderbird 5 were replaced by actors, and the rest remained as marionettes, with all the original dialogue, and action shown at twice the speed.
I wonder what Snoopy will look like. No doubt about it, either a Great Dane, or a Doraemon-like Pokémon. The Japanese couldn't stand anything remotely un-extreme. Manga taboos, you know. I don't know which of the two would be more scary, the monster or the wide-eyed freak.
What next? Garfield as Hello Kitty's love crush? And Jon getting told off by girls with giant mallet blows to the head?
Got a web link for us? There's got to be more to this madness. (Hey, how about Friends in Manga?) I think I recently saw a photo of a Japanese/Korean version of Friends. Or was it an arabic version? Not sure. The trauma shook my memory centers. But the nosebleed has stopped.
Ah, looks like the sources are many. Thanks for the link, it's very kool. I've spent 2 hours downloading the three pages in their entirety, links not included. Hunh, no wonder: they're 21 megabytes! But worth the patience.
I was reading a French comic series about geeks yesterday evening. The guy downloads a big movie, and his screen says "download rate : 128 kB/s". As compared to my 3 kB/s. I checked, and no wonder, it's in a sci-fi & fantasy magazine!
A little further in the mag, was a parody story about a magic company, MicroSpell, exploiting a loophole in the new copyright law to agressively monopolize the whole magic market. ("For the law doesn't specify that you have to be the spell's author to register it, suffice it that you be the first one to CLAIM it.") Fiercely hunting down the "pirates" who don't pay it obscene royalties when performing daily life spells. But unconventional genius warlock Lee Nus invents his own secret spells, selling them nearly for free, so they send a spy to steal his secret Antiviror formula which cures all contagious diseases... Another series was about a war waged with enchanted flying fortresses, shooting their firebomb-lobbing catapults from high in the sky. The strife was over some stinky but valuable black goo found in the Oriental deserts. Which precisely powered the levitating castles after you boil it properly.
Real wild stuff in that magazine. I don't know where they come up with such unbelievable stories! What next? Tiny people, whole nations maybe, really existing in a crystal ball and manupilated like puppets by a god-like deus ex machina wizard who turns out to be a shy pimple-faced teenager living in his mother's underground wine cellar with his pet rat Atu'i? Or some tall tale about a proliferation of horse carriages, causing the flatulences from all those equines to turn the rain clouds crazy? Then God, annoyed by the miasmas rising all the way to Heaven, decides to make a new Flood, but in reverse, by slightly increasing the Sun's heat so we all roast like ants through a hole in the Firmament's invisible Ozzon shield. Naah! That's too silly. Better stick to my sect of assassins led by that Khomenemy Ayah troll to fly falafel-fed Roc birds into the highest towers of Europe's royal castles. Exploding dungeons, that should look good, I bet it's never been done before! People will pay to listen to these stories on town squares.
Where do I come up with all that stuff? You wouldn't believe it : from a dubious translation of the Nostradamus Centuries. And, occasionally, from my grandma's mushroom omelette secret family recipe. Always gives me wild dreams, but dang, it's so delicious.
The Scooby one isn't bad, although the guys look like really pansies. The Peanuts one is bizarre.
