After a lull, DiGiKerot is back to doing cartoons about anime again, and they're as good as always.

I just wanted to say that I particularly liked this one.

And this one is deserves some comment. The comparison of Dola from Castle in the Sky to the girl and her two minions in Fractale is more apt than I think he realized when he drew it. As of the second episode of Fractale I think it's pretty certain that the girl is a good-bad-guy, who starts as a clownish opponent but eventually becomes an ally, just as Miyazaki's Dola did.

Given that the art style in Fractale seems to be deliberately similar to Miyazaki's visuals, I wonder if Enri (that girl's name, I'm pretty sure) is a deliberate subversion of Dola? Note that they both use dirigibles to get around, for example.

Hmmm...  and the people on the ground in Fractale are ruled by a super-science which is permanently aloft, which was once the case in CITS...
