Is there any way to buy this from abroad? This is like a dream mashup of all my favorite TV animators, and I really want it!

Neat piece by Rubio, Gurren Lagann meets the Incredibles.

Hope the online sales are available overseas.

Okay, that meme pic is kinda awesome.

Nice to see Avatar further proving that it deserve honorary anime status. If only Nickelodeon would actually do some sort of official charity thing, that would just be cool.

Let me remind again that not too long ago, late in February, Gainax visited Pixar. Laughing

Considering the show bombed and had a poor reception in Japan, that's not really close to being true. The only reason Bobby Rubio is there is because he works at Pixarr, whom GAINAX are on good grounds with, not because he worked on Avatar in the past. ANN's article title is kinda misleading in that regard. You might as well say Family Guy is getting 'honorary anime status' because of this since they worked on that show as well Rolling Eyes

I have one of Rubio's comics "Alcatraz high" I wish I had bought the rest.

Not really going into this honorary thing, but whether a show bombed or had a poor reception or not would have nothing to do with that argument.

That's pretty cool, kinda makes sense they'd let their wonder powers unite for this. Form of, awesome charity illustration book! Very Happy

Well it seems a bit silly someone would claim something is 'honory anime' (whatever that means) when the country of anime wants nothing to do with it in the first place. Confused Like inviting yourself over to someone else's house and saying you live there.

Bryan Konietzko(co-creator), Seung-Hyun Oh, Joaquim Dos Santos and Kihyun Ryu worked on Avatar: The Last Airbender and are currently working on it's sequel series. Along with Bobby Rubio--Elsa Garagarza, Lauren Montgomery and Ian Graham have also worked on Avatar:TLA.
Not misleading at all.

Like I said, that doesn't matter. A lot of anime the Japanese market doesn't want nothing to do with, like Armitage. The "honorary anime" arguments don't factor how well something does in Japan. They argue about other things. Laughing

On his blog entry about this Rubio wrote "I will try to get more information on how to get the book in the U.S." So I guess you should keep an eye on his site: http://bobbyrubio.blogspot.com/

Yes siree. It'll already be a full year since the announcement. Look for it next year.
