Interview with UNICO: AWAKENING Writer Samuel Sattin

The classic Osamu Tezuka manga Unico, originally published in Sanrio’s shojo manga magazine Lyrica in the 1970s, is being reimagined as a full-color manga titled UNICO: AWAKENING (ユニコ: 目覚めのおはなし)! The new 162-page manga launched on Kickstarter this week, and was fully funded within 24 hours, meaning anyone can back the project while it’s active to receive a copy of UNICO: AWAKENING when it’s published, in either English or Japanese! Plus, artists from around the world have come together to produce exclusive prints and limited edition collectibles from a picture book to a fashion lookbook.

Pixel x Pixel Episode 86

Welcome to Pixel x Pixel episode 86, where we’re rebranding to a breakfast and Aussie artist podcast (let’s say that’s a belated April Fool’s, ha)! In all seriousness, Anne has been too busy with secret freelance projects to have much new to discuss, so you get to hear all about her current favorite oatmeal recipe. Marcus hasn’t written anything recently, but that’s okay, because it’s time to celebrate the 100th Community Game-Along theme! And while both haven’t had much time to game, they’ve been making up for it with new movies and tv shows.

Anne’s Community Game-Along interview

12:00 – Media Minutes: Our Flag Means Death, Riverdale, The Lost City, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Passions preamble
54:00 – Notable News: New PlayStation Plus, New Game Plus announcements
