should be last of the big changes to my page. i'm happy with it. what i didn't like was the main content covering the background. but i also didn't like putting it in a scrolling max-height box. i think this way with a "cover" at the bottom fits what i want
back to slower updates from here i think. still have to figure out what's best for the fanpages and links page background but i'll get to that.

bokuwatetsuo.net v4.1 is what i'll call this. i dont really care or keep track of the "version" of my page but i think im funny. obviously the site changed some.
there's some minor cosmetic changes. the big change is the site is now.... 5:4. yes. i still have a 16:9 monitor, i just got sick of the blank space between the content and Neo-Tokyo as my background.
i thought about maybe scrapping a background and trying to put everything to the left and make more graphics for a header/footer. nah, the background being what used to be home is required. now i also need to redo the fanpages directory and links directory backgrounds.
so the max-width of the main part of the site is 1280px. well the <html> is. is that improper css? i hope so. bite me
2026/09/16 ⏵ Nero's Day At Disneyland - Ghost Debt
new Nero's track?! and release date for that new EP?! i listened to "Ghost Debt" a few times. ∅Babylon hit me hard for a few reasons but i didn't get that with this one. this track is just damn good. it brings me right back to old Nero's with the harshness and the samples. and the sample itself sounds really familiar but i cant figure out where from

removed the /other/number28.html page yesterday or day before that. i realized the page wasn't turning out what i wanted it to be. i need to go and rethink the design or my approach or something. kind of disappointing but i rather no AKIRA related pages of mine fall short of what i want. only the best for AKIRA...
speaking of AKIRA, the end of the month is coming which means The Complete Works: AKIRA 4 is being released soon. i should get it early October based on how previous releases have gone. i'm so damn excited i can't wait to see it !!!!!
2026/09/10
i used the global activity feed/"Last Updated" to browse for cool websites. well the global feed sucks shit now so no more using that. it's always kind of been annoying but i swear it used to be more tolerable than this. damn.
2026/09/08 ⏵ Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Winds Over Neo-Tokyo
yesterday i pieced a kin memory together. its been a while since i got to have something like that so i was happy. i keep wondering about the YOUNG version of AKIRA and how it plays into my fictionkin identity. theres potentially a lot of art i haven't seen that could help me recall more. damn it AKIRA in the Complete Works RELEASE FASTER!!
2026/08/27 ⏵ Lauren Bousfield - White Clouds Turning Black F...
i didnt expect to be doing a site "overhaul" but i've been poking around a lot of Neocities pages recently. people are making good looking websites out there. most everything is the same to be honest. i think the biggest change comes from a rewritten global css file. i learned what nesting is lol.
i've been working on a some illust and recoloring pages from AKIRA. i don't like the original Epic Comics coloring. so i find pages i think especially "bad" and try doing them myself. i color most of it by what feels right/what i remember things looking like, and adding some stuff that wasn't there in the original work hehe.
i still gotta finish the /other/number28 page i keep thinking about that. damn it
2026/08/18
i've been wanting to tweak how my site looks but idk what i'm trying to do here. i think its the index pissing me off. i never liked making an index. i'll probably keep dicking around with this but i'm tired of wasting my time today
2026/08/12
alright my new page is probably 90% done. damn it's taking so LONG!! all thats left is going through volume 6...... i hate that book but it's nothing to do with quality.
update to what i mentioned in my last entry: i think its safe to say i finally remember how long "AKIRA" took. no more questioning. those kinds of "filling in gaps" that relate to being fictionkin can be really satisfying.
2026/08/05
new Nero's song released. new EP announced. i used to dream of this. it feels crazy to see Lauren Bousfield bring Nero's back. i listened to ∅Babylon a few times already and it was immediate the things i felt. damn it im listening to it right now
i've been thinking about AKIRA like always. i might reread the manga again next year. also recently i'm trying to refigure out the personal "timeline" i made for myself, going over the events of "AKIRA" again. its frustrating at times, trying to remember how much time passed when it blurred together for me for one reason or other
2026/08/02
I MISS SELECTION BRUSH FROM SAI. ive been cleaning up and removing backgrounds from a bunch of panels for 4 days now. damn it i'm tired of having to draw selections that i can't just add/erase from lol. but i keep going for AKIRA. i wanted to make a page like this for a while and only now did i have a clear idea for it. it's gotten bigger than i expected
2026/07/29 ⏵ KFC Murder Chicks - Psneakysys
happy birthday to me! even though it's just a symbolic birthday for my fictionkinity. i don't really care, i like getting 2 birthdays. today WAS supposed to be my real birthday though, not joking, so theres that.
2026/07/26
chose the weekly akira image because my "canon" birthday is in 3 days. i want to make a drawing for myself and i've been working on it but we'll see. i think some art block is happening to me. ugh whatever. also the weekly akira image wasn't taken by me, i found it years ago. i actually dont remember where it came from anymore

my least favorite part of summer is when you're doing something late at night, then from the corner of your eye you see something moving and you look and its a HUGE bug
i wrote a new personal essay and rewrote that old one i mentioned last month but i kinda wonder if i should forget posting persnoal writing to my site. i'm not the kinda person to jump at the chance to share these... idk
2026/07/14
reminded myself why i don't read reviews of AKIRA. i know i'm biased but the negative reviews always make it obvious they didn't understand something that got explained/shown in the story. and why do they always have to bring up how "useless" Kei is
2026/07/05 ⏵ Shiro Sagisu - Who Will Know (24 Bigslow)
survived the heatwave, had an impromptu rewatch of シン・ゴジラ today. the 1st and last time i watched it was 2 years ago already?! wtf. i was wanting to rewatch but didn't have the time to. this movie is in my "top 3" of all time. i relate a lot to Shin.

2026/06/29 ⏵ DODDODO - DODDODO Death
easy to lament the fact most fictionfolk art gets seen as the commodity that i think normal fan art is to a lot of people. all the power to fictionfolk out there who share their works for fandom but i'm gonna forever reject and fight the impression that my art is for fandom.
anyways i have to rewrite an old essay. i want to get that back up soon. my writing page is so bare .... i want to write more personal essays to put up. but also rather shock myself than do that. what to do
2026/06/17
when i visit random Neocities sites there's a 50% chance the page makes my display flicker with thin green lines all over the screen. no idea why this happens and i just accept it at this point.
also the comic i uploaded yesterday is named after this song by Hiroshi Moriya. and the "narration" in the comic are my favorite lyrics from the song. i'm excited to make more comics in the future, the pride of finishing one its kind of addicting hehehe
2026/06/14
the comics section on my gallery has been empty for a while huh? i finished the first panel of a simple 2 page comic i hope to upload "soon." lets hope all my time spend studying Otomo's work finally pays off
2026/06/12 ⏵ Nero's Day At Disneyland - Loose Ends (Unofficial Album)
is it stupid that after all this time, i still get angry knowing that my Fictionkinity is gonna forever be seen as some "roleplay" or whatever? probably. i'm still angry though.
2026/06/06
the sidebar experiment was fun but i'm going back to everything being in the same box. i prefer this style a lot more, not trying to do anything too crazy or whatever. it also feels more "old school" to me or something like that
one thing i cant figure out: if i should have separate warnings on my art. how it looked before left a bad taste in my mouth. i rather just have these wall of links you click and get what you get. i've wanted to try symbols to mark if it's "sensitive" or not without listing anything, but what symbols? using Lightbox2 probably makes this redundant anyway
2026/06/03
doomed to look for a font i'll never be able to find...
2026/05/24
ah, i finished my reread of AKIRA a few days ago. all i have to say after it is fuck yeah i am Tetsuo. AKIRA is the best thing in this world. being Fictionkin is great.
2026/05/18
i forgot to post here on may 16 and that's when i made my website in 2024. it's weird to think it's been 2 years already.
2026/05/08
today's another sort of AKIRA anniversary of mine. today marks five years since i got the 35th Anniversary box set and finished reading the manga for the 1st time. i have to finish my recent re-read of AKIRA soon, too. volume 6 is an intimidating book.
2026/04/23
i don't change the main part of my site much, aside from tweaks or whatever.. but i decided to go with a bit of a new look. i think things will still be tweaked for a bit till im totally satisfied. but i like it. felt inspired by some other sites and such
most importantly:
today is my 5 year anniversary since i first watched Akira!!!!!
this is extremely corny but... on this day i watched the movie the first time and my life was changed forever since then. without AKIRA i wouldn't be myself today. i'm just gonna relax and watch the movie later tonight like i always do on this day
