I was originally thinking it could be an adaptation of ‘My Fair Lady’/’Pygmalion’, which would match symbolically (in terms of Brendan trying to make the kid into something she isn’t, and in multiple ways). But the fantasy bit really calls that into question. And I’m not sure there’d be a lot of child appeal there in the first place.
On the other hand, this video might be either cause or effect of mini-Sulla getting interested in the idea of being able to fly.
It might be ‘The Flight of Dragons, actually. In the movie, Magic and Science try to coexist. Kind of makes sense for Sulla here and her ability to fly.
That was my thought, too. Sailor Moon. But I guess a lot of magical girl anime have dorky, cute lines. She looks like she has wings in the picture. Who had wings? A new series made as a joke because Blue really wanted to use the phrase “hosta has-been”?
DEFINITELY a magical girl anime. I don’t know if it’s a specific one or just a general magical girl “type” anime that’s made up for this universe, but the speech tropes are VERY distinctive. XD
It sounds like the Victim of the Week is a florist, or possibly a girl who wants to be a florist when she grows up? And since the heroine is calling the enemy a “hosta has been” and google is telling me a hosta is a kind of plant, gonna assume the Monster of the Week is flower themed and the episode is dubbed with english jokes?
It sounds like Sailor Moon, stylistically, but the ending of the speech is wrong for that (Sailor Moon doesn’t say “flight and magic,” she punishes you in the name of the moon) so I’m gonna guess Sailor Moon inspired anime-original-to-this-comic.
Sulla is adorable! Question – Is her body designed to grow on its own? My guess is probably not, but it is impressive her features don’t drastically change–aside from being able to fly and being appropriately aged up (with long hair and puberty). You would think small details–from her face to the glowy lines in her joints would change a little.
Also, if she is transferred to a bigger body every few years, are her younger versions still around? That has to be surreal. I wonder if they could be recycled with new consciouses?
To recycle the smaller bodies would create a whole line of Sullas; could they be booted with older backups?
This could create an awkward situation with ‘the authorities’, too.
And it seems like it be super $$$ and a PITA to everyone for her to be updated super regularly so would this mean she stays tiny past the age (ex – she stays in her cute 5 year old body until she is 8-10?)? I could see that happening… That would mean there are probably only 2-4 human versions of her old bodies in storage. I would be so tempted to update and recycle them to be siblings. :)
The skin colloid is, I think, a liquid so probably gets recycled each upgrade. In that case, any discarded Sullas would probably look like the creepy Daft Punk baby.
I feel it is perfectly reasonable to be saddened that I’ve caught up, and I am indeed sad that now I have to wait for more OHS like everyone else. Oh well. Such is life. I’ll just be over here anticipating more with everyone else.
Another Sulla question. She and Al obviously look like biological human beings, but does their skin texture, temperature and inner structure give way to fooling touch? IOW, if one were to shake hands with either of them, could you tell they were synthetic people?
Generic magic girl anime, or is this from a specific series?
Anyone know what’s that playing on YourTuub(TMTMTM)?

Ooooh could it be magical girl anime?
I totally wasn’t obsessed with Sailor Moon as a young trans girl egg.

Is Sulla watching Precure?! (if so she’s got good taste, that sounds a bit like Heartcatch Pretty Cure)

Everything about this series is beautiful!

We have cookies if that helps?
