I mean the logic behind it make sense (extensive use of Classical Music in both anime).

The program is actually 2 seperate parts (they don't "combine ")

Doesn't stop me from thinking Ahiru the Swan Lake Ballerina is the Galactic Empire Ace Pilot Political Pawn for a brief second.
List of musical performance program from ad for the Legend of Galactic Heroes & Princess Tutu Collab Event. Written on picture as follows : Part 1 "Princess Tutu" From the opening "Princess Tutu" Avanrimsky-Korsakov: From the 1st and 2nd movements of the symphonic suite "Scheherazade" Drama Orchestra "Princess Tutu" Tchaikovsky: "Waltz" and "Scenes" from "Swan Lake" Tchaikovsky: "Waltz of the Flowers" from "The Nutcracker" Part 2 "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" Mahler: Symphony No. 3, 1st movement - From "I am going to conquer the ocean of stars" Abandvorak : Symphony No. 9, "From the New World", 4th movement - From "The Battle of Amritsar" Bruckner: Symphony No. 7, 1st movement - "The Death of Kircheis" (scene reenactment) Ravel: Bolero - From "I am going to conquer the ocean of stars"

Also, i just realize (after 30+ episodes) the next episode screen card showed insignias of the factions in focus on said next episode (and often changes). It's neat.
Screenshot of the coming-up-next end card of Legend of Galactic Heroes : Die Neue These for episode 32. The background shows the logo of Iserlohn Patrol Fleet. The foreground showed the episode number and title "The Inquiry"

The fact that the first thing that lured me was the music (of course it is) then the vaguely pretty but sad boy characters (of course it is) and now i'm watching civil-space-documentary with updated graphics i guess.

This is stuck in my head because his updated design for the remake make him (at least visually) look less sopping wet cat-y and more like just a dude (if a bit perpetually tired).

Remember the balatro custom e-money for myself that i want to make?

I need to decide between these designs . Planning to print 2 sided, 1 with the transport themed joker, and the other side a gold playing card (because money)

Full circle with another illustration on Kise!

I started this challenge on nov 1st with him, so it feels appropriate to cap it off with a fuller illustration of him in warm afternoon light.
