Chic Pixel Plus is back! In episode 40, we celebrate Pokémon‘s 20th anniversary and the announcement of Pokémon Sun and Moon, ruminate over Funimation’s Escaflowne Kickstarter, and pick our next manga title (featuring a cute critter, of course). Then Sarah recaps her trip to Okinawa to visit her family, and gives us more of the cute critter action we crave in the form of the one-eyed chicken P-chan.

People are quick to blame the translators for these things but I 100% guarantee no pro translator scrubbed these lines of their own volition. This was definitely mandated possibly even by Nintendo Japan. Don't blame little guys doing their jobs, blame the corporations. https://twitter.com/Mondblut1984/status/1617857848385622018

Sharing art + making a video = ANXIETY OVERLOAD 😫😅 Anywaaay, I loved this screenshot from ACPC @cozynamie took so much that I tried recreating it with two different mediums! Colored pencils were my first attempt, gouache second. It’s good practice to do the same piece a couple of times! Thanks again @cozynamie for letting me use your screenshot as a ref 💕
