Axe, a proven animation director/producer, and Crom, a script/screenwriter, have teamed up to produce a feature-length anime titled Panda Girls.
The "Behind the Scenes" menu above shows the production process, from Script-to-Screen, for the Panda Girls anime movie.
The DiaBLOGue below collects a daily commentary from the Panda Girls’ filmmakers, Axe & Crom, as they encountering the latest developments in the online film & anime industry.
Alright, there's plenty of momentum on the Axe and Crom site, but we need more comics. Lots more...get on that.
Jesus dude, I wrote like 15 of them yesterday, are you saying you don't like ANY of them?
It isn't that I don't like them, I just don't think they're Axe and Crom material.
Look, our comic is designed to bring people into the Panda Girls story, and I'll get them into the seats anyway I can.
Yes, true, I agree with that plan, but a lot of these comics seem to be repressed arguements you wish you'd had with me and won.
One of your comics is about you beating me everyday for 200 years at Street Fighter. Which would never happen...and what does that have to do with anything?
It represents the STRUGGLE that our characters have to endure, to save the universe from, stuff that...comes...
It's been 6 months but I'm back working on the Panda Girls anime / manga pretty much full-time now. I was helping out a friend of mine, Dave Royer, with his business called SAGE Creatives, and we may see more developments with Dave and Panda Girls in the near future.
Jumping back into the Panda Girls project was a little odd and exciting. Odd in the way that I felt distanced visually, (Crom and I have maintained story meetings consistently during my hiatus), and exciting in that sense where you know time away always brings with it a new perspective. For my first post, I didn't want to make a splash. More just easing into it again, and giving myself time to find my stride.
Here's a couple of thumbnails, (in no particular order), to help me feel out the 10 page teaser. Jumping around to events/moments that inspired, and tried to catch them with the simplest shapes.
