Space Usagi was originally published starting in 1998, and recently gained a color edition as well. it's significantly better than before, and some anons wanted to see it, while others would prefer b&w. since only two of three stories are in color, I'll think having this first part in color and the next in b&w is sensible. please direct any complains to lord enma's office, located off the lake of fire past the sanzu river. that said, give me a minute because I forgot to resize the files for posting.
>>153464769Here it is, Space Usagi!I got some choice songs ready.
>>153464793>Space Usagi in 2003 TMNTThat's new info for me.
alright, there we go.

>>153464769But why are we in space!? There's no reason for us to be in space!
>>153464873Because sky is the limit and space is the place.
>>153464874>ColorGross
>>153464873because in space, no one can hear you meddle.
>>153464793Man, has it really been that long since the Netflix series? It still feels so recent.
holy shit, they actually solved feudalism!
>>153465004Are these supposed to be space grouse or space quail?
>>153465046Space Starscream! ....wait.
>>153465013Oh, they're quail.
I never noticed the horns on the helmets, that cool.
>>153464854Chizu won the last 4 or 5 years in a row. There seemed to be more interest in Tomoe this year with new readers, and less "no-game" comments from returning readers, so I can see how Tomoe won this time.

>>153465107ehhh I can appreciate it. I like bold, saturated colors.

>>153464769>he is doing the Emi Fuji color versionGood, good! >>153465107In reality, space is black and white but we color it to make it less boring.
>>153465163This, space starts looking boring after a while if it's only black and white.Homeworld knew this and the game is gorgeous!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfw1H29g8Zo

>>153465004>>153465013I like this idea of futuristic people going down on the planet and larp as old hunters.

>>153466233Dear god, the Eta have devolved into a morlock kind lesser species!
>>153466210The colours have slightly different temperatures depending on whether they're outside or inside. I like it, but it's an obviously digital trick.
>>153466241That's a great catch, I hadn't noticed it in multiple reads of this over the years.
>>153466255Ryoko first appeared in Space, what about Toady/Informer?
>>153465988Nope, not even gonna bother with this one

>>153465863>the space turtle is actually a kind of giant horrible parasite/natural disaster that sucks up your atmosphere and eats your cousinSurprisingly interesting idea, not that I think Stan is a shitter normally or anything but he clearly invested a lot of thought into this setting.
all in all, this was a major step up coloring wise, it's so much better than the usual, but there were some places where it was a bit too much, even for me. it's good to change things up, but I still prefer black and white.
>>153465988cute egyptian hoes
>>153466672>vixenShe's a cat, no wait.
>>153466696The three side panels looked WAY better in B&W
>>153466734Even in space, Tomoe never scores.
>>153465717>>153465748In hindsight big windows on spaceships is a poor stylistic choice.
>>153465922Briefly I thought the sound effect of the ship coming through the glass there was KOROSHI.
>>153466884The Geth were right, windows are just structural weak points.

>>153467005Thanks for storytiming Murder!Now I'll take my chance to introduce everyone here to a music genre I doubt most here have even heard about.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwkglsAgwZUFilk. Sci-fi and space themed folk music, originating from 1960s Sci-fi and space exploration era.Sadly, this year I must come to you all with some sad news.In late november of 2025, Leslie Fish, the song writer, author and singer passed away at age 81.She wrote the 1984 Pegasus award for best original Filk song: winner, Hope Eyrie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IsUPk7moYg1986 Pegasus award for best original Filk song: winner, Witnesses' waltz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evqS0N_tWc(couldn't find one sung by her, so here's a version sang by others)And of course, you've heard it already above in this post, 2003 Pegasus award for best Classic Filk Song winner. Banned from argo.There are other filk songs out there by her, as well as more fantasy oriented ones.So tonight, pour one out for her and remember, all flesh is grass.
