>>143324336Space Usagi wears its inspirations on its sleeve. Stan does not seem ashamed to admit he lifts things from media he likes.
>>143324524The Real treasure was the friends we made along the way!
>>143323473I mostly like the colors used in the first section, except for the stars, which really should have been left white, or at best a very pale hue.
>>143324522Yeah but what anime/manga? Nausicaa?
>>143324398Easily one of the most gruesome deaths in Usagi. Mortal Kombat tier.
>>143324298>>143324332>>143324340>>143324346>>143324355Koto and the environment are heavily took inspiration from the famous 80 Ghibli film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
>>143324627I never heard of that. now the famous 80s miyazaki manga Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is a classic!
>>143324590Not just anime, lots of science fiction in general. The artwork of Mobius, there's lots of Dune references too.
>>143324649So the Usagis are hares not rabbits

>>143324831This is the fiercer early Usagi. When's Space Usagi from, anway? Wasn't it the late '80s.
>>143324298>Mating jellyThey're cum farmers?
>>143324901Close, it was the early-90s. It was first published by Mirage in 1992. Mainline Usagi was still being published by Fantagraphics. Next year "classic" Usagi would make the move to Mirage with the TMNT crossover arc "Shades Of Green."
>>143324928Jealous?
>>143324943>All those individual designsWow Stan
this is it for today. tomorrow, a little bit more of space usagi and the body horror show that is super deformed usagi!
>>143325005Thanks Murder, see you tomorrow.
>>143324992Koto booba
>>143325005>Tomorrow, H.R. Geiger's Usagi YojimboThe horror!Thanks for another storytime murder.Here's a edit I made, but couldn't post in the previous thread, on account of it being archived by the time I came back to make this.Also, sorry for adding to the lewdness of this thread, this was unplanned from my part.
>>143325005Thanks as always Murder. I really enjoy the Space Usagi spinoff. I know it's not everyone's chanoyu but I really like these space fantasy opera settings.
>>143325054I like how different it is from normal Usagi since Space Usagi is serving a lord.
>>143325068I've started wondering how the other characters space versions would be like.Like, would space Kitsune be one of duct people?

>>143325068His lord is also more competent than Noriyuki has ever been
>>143325149>Jei and Keiko>J -> KI didn't figure it out!
>>143325283Upon this re-read I realized Space Usagi doesn't really have much room for magic and mystical stuff like the main series has, besides psychic powers, so Jei and Sasuke etc would have a harder time fitting in
>>143325339Space-J can have his brain full of nanobots from a dead alien civilization that gives his psychic powers.
>>143325088>>143325283Treacherous uncle Akira is Space-Katsuichi. Not all the Space analogues are 1:1 of their Feudal Japan counterparts. I wouldn't mind seeing a Space Ikeda who actually went through with his rebellion (or his cousin's rebellion in any case) and became a great lord in his own right, maybe as a sometimes-antagonist sometimes-ally to Space Usagi depending on the circumstances.
>>143325339Yokai are native to EarthThe dying Earth was long ago abandoned by the spacenoidsWhoever's stuck on Earth fights off mutants to survive

>>143325054I do like it as well. it's just different enough from the main series to be enjoyable, and I noticed it goes a lot into the detailed technical mumbo jumbo I like. also, as anon pointed out the art is stan in his prime. >>143325088I just hope space mayumi is safe and sound in an agricultural planet. >>143325403>he doesn't know about the space yokai

>>143323516Interesting idea having the villain be Amaterasu
>>143323778way to rub it in on past Tomoe
>>143323459Yeah, he looks like a ghost or something.
>>143323715I find it a fun diversion. I wouldn't take it over the normal comic, but as a side dish, it's a good time.
>>143323768They're aliens, it's fine>>143323766You know, with the context of Wherewhen and Senso, I wonder if Stan's trying to retcon Space Usagi as being much closer in time to original Usagi, since we're directly seeing inventions that had their root in that time period still be relatively unique here. Wouldn't be surprised if we got a reveal this is happening in like 1920 actually or something after technology leapt after the Martian invasion
>>143326278Yeah it's easy to see how the alien tech in senso could lead to feudal japan developing a space empire super early.
>>143324669HOLY FUCK THAT'S COOL
>>143325339>Space Usagi doesn't really have much room for magic and mystical stuffI don't know about that. We've got lightsaber katana, "tripping" to FTL dimensions, and space fortresses large enough to generate their own gravity as well as support an entire ecosystem of oppressed eta literally living in the filth of their social betters. This is definitely soft sci-fi. I think there's plenty of room in an expanded Space Usagi universe for mysticism and the supernatural to co-exist with the so-advanced-it-might-as-well-be-magic sciences. See webm related, and thank you to the anons who recommended Zeiram in the storytime thread earlier last month. It's very, very SOVLFVL and I can see the obvious parallels of the eponymous villain to Jei. It's almost as good as backpacks
>>143326493The Iria OVA is great but I though the original live-action films were silly.
>>143326493Zeiram rules. >>143326509I love both
>>143323754Toady likely should not be accompanying children.
>>143324888If Usagi pulls out a laser gun and straight up ices a dude at some point in the main comic I will lose my shit
>>143326512Hell yea>>143326509>the original live-action films were sillyThey are kind of cringe. Cringe kino, that is
>>143326766He said he was on a mission for Lord Mifune. He already iced some dudes with a laser gun in the past. I wonder if he's ever mentioned it to Gen. Like as a fun story.
>>143324319That does seem to be when SD designs really rise to prominence.
>>143323209i want to believe this is truehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEcPakW42JU
>>143326806You just made me realise he does not have his scar, so yeah, it's very early in his career. Then I noticed Space Usagi also does not have his scar. I get the stories are not being posted in production order, but I'm choosing to headcanon he just healed the scar with future tech
>>143324157that's how good Space Tomoe's game was, so good that when she dies only an AI of her can do
>>143326851Well regular Usagi doesn't get his scar until the Battle Of Adachigahara, and this time travel adventure obviously happens while Mifune is still alive so it has to be before that. As for his descendant, clearly Space Usagi has inherited the Meddleforce from his ancestor and it makes his scar reappear eventually no matter how many times he applies Medi-Gel to it.
>>143326813Dr Slump heavily popularised them
>>143325823Space Mayumi got together with the wandering ronin Inuyoshi (from the Sword Of Narukami) instead of Usagi. They had many happy adventures before they earned enough ryons to open a galactic scrapyard and salvage company specializing in demolishing hyperspace bridges
>>143325054All of it besides the recent one-shot is just really high quality stuff, even beyond the silly fun of reimagining Usagi. Of course even then we got lots of Space Usagi characters that went on to inspire mainline Usagi stuff. I also like how relatively linear the story is.
>>143326851When does Space Usagi get a scar? Isn't it unique to regular Usagi?
>>143326806>So than I took this strange weapon and POINTED it at them...>Yeah, so? I point my sword at people all the time. So do you.>No, no, it's not like that...
>>143327005He got it here >>143323015
>>143323084really nice page
>>143325370Idk why but I like the idea of “Space Jei” being a cross between a Symbiote from Marvel and a “space zombie virus.”
forgot to post this and left it for days but these two panels on the same page made me laugh
>>143324237Has anyone here read the Nausicaa Manga? is pretty good.
>>143323502Question, is this guy based on the snitch or is the snitch a reference to this guy? Space Usagi is a pretty old comic.
>>143325823space yokai are just modern cryptids
>>143325283Sasuke is still Sasuke. Now uses a magic laser gun
>>143327444>Can I at least have a light saber>No>Yes lord Shoki.
>>143325403>Sasuke! Yokai have developed space technology and have spread out throughout the cosmos, I need you to travel the universe and slay them all or you'll get no vacation
>>143323912In space nobody can hear you have no game.
>>143327486Shoki just straight up turns Sasuke into the Silver Surfer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcxiS9DHHhE&t=32s
>>143323946Those last 3 panels are some of the best stuff Stan has ever made I'm not joking. Look how the perspective goes from the ground to space, while keeping a balance between the first and last panel but also creating an imaginary line between the top of the first panel to the bottom of the first.
>>143325005Thanks Murder, Space Usagi is a pretty great comic, back when Stan was young and putting all his energy on drawing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWOvcIYd7IUTo think we where so close for this to be part of the saturday morning pantheon
>>143323272Same.I hope we get some new chapter with her in them soon.
>>143327615Speaking off, whatever happen to that weird comic that is like 80% usagi fighting yokain and 10% Space Usagi? it felt like it was going to be the beguining of a spinoff but nothing came of it.
>>143312311You were right, I wasn't remembering who was publishing it at the time. I had 1-4 of the fantagraphic volumes. Or my father did anyway, I presume they just kind of got lost/fell apart over the years. I don't remember specifically getting rid of them.
>>143328025I enjoy these repeating motifs Stan has>every time the publisher changes, Usagi wanders back north to retell the battle of Adachigahara>every 20 or so issues, Usagi has to fight one of Feudal Japan's various permutations of cat monster
>>143324346>Lion King referenceDon't take this as fact, but this Stan guy might just be a furry!
>>143325389Akira seemed like more of an asshole, too. Perhaps we can account for that as an in-story reason why Space Usagi seems a bit more short tempered than his ancestor (aside from regular Usagi mellowing out naturally as the series progressed).
>>143327627Stan is planning to follow up that story soonishMaybe we follow Usagi's daughter searching for him after a timeskip
