Welcome to Angelic Slayer! This is gag-a-day comic starring the Playground's resident Angel, Haruki! And also starring: The Playground!

Each individual comic is labeled "Phase". The comic does not have a continuous plot or storyline, and I have no interest in developing one at any point in the near future. But on occasion, I'll come up with a story arc that requires several comics and follow it for a couple of weeks.

I do not have an actual update schedule. I try to get a comic up every week, but most of the time I fail to do so, as school and general life get in the way. Recently, however, I've started doing short comics titled Mini-Slayer, starring the GITP Boardlings (introduced in Phase 34 (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll190/Haruki-san/AngelicSlayer34-Board-Tans.png)). These Mini-Strips take less time and effort than full comics (although some people have told me they like them more than full comics :smalltongue: ), so when I don't have enough time to make a comic, I make a Mini. On occasion I don't have time for even that.

The newest strips are posted here on the first post. The older strips fall back into the Archive in this post as well, but are linked to instead of posted, to save your bandwidth.

Without further ado, here it is: Angelic Slayer!

Ahh, AMEN. All I wonder is how long will it take for me to have an appearence... And why I had to have a name that applies to so many things...


I started out with the first 3 strips, or "Phases". Of course, the Phase could change to Chapter, Episode, Chapitre, or something like that. You pick.

I keep thinking someone's calling me!

Thanks a lot for all your support. :smallsmile: I will work on more comic strips, although probably not until monday (I might get some lucky time off, though.)

@Draken: Thanks! I'll work on the wings. Got a lot of work to do before I can catch up to Bath. :smalltongue:

@Phase: It's just your imagination. :smallwink:

@Tempest: Probably, if I happen to know who they are. Also, I make a point in asking people for permission before using their characters. Most people say yes, but I still like to ask.

@Zombie Pixie: Brains, huh? Sure, why not? :smallcool:

Really? That explains a few things...

Haruki-kun, I applaud you on those three phases. You've proven to be ingenious and skilled in making OotS-style webcomics. Colored speech bubbles, nearly-identical style in drawing (I'm sure you could make it match 100% with a little more effort), witty titles and lines - all those points were reminiscent of OotS a great deal.

What else can I say but, don't get bored with it; continue making it when you feel like it.

2008-04-12, 02:23 PM
@Sensate: :smallredface: Thanks a lot! I'll work on it!

@Shas: Heh, well, I might surprise you sometime. :smallbiggrin:

In the meantime, there's Phase 4. I have several ideas for strips, featuring several people as cameos, but given that I'm volunteering for an event at school all weekend, I opted to draw a strip that didn't take as long to make. So there it is, Phase 4.

Disclaimer:
I'm not even past medium. ESPECIALLY that song. :smalltongue:

I was just thinking of GH3 a few minutes ago. What a coincidence (However you spell that) :smalleek:

And that is hilarious, nice job :smallbiggrin:

These are actually pretty good. It's kind of refreshing to see a gag-a-day OOTS style comic after all these OOTS story comics that we've been seeing lately.

The latest one reminds me a little too much of one of the gags from the South Park Guitar Hero episode, but you may not have even seen it. They probably weren't the first to come up with that joke either anyway.

Like the fact that all the Haruki's have their arms in the exact same position

*sigh* Just my luck. I finally start working on this and my schedule decides to disagree with me. Sorry, guys, but I have a Physics Exam on Wednesday, so all my work will be postponed until at least Wednesday afternoon. I'll try to get it done by then, after the stupid Test.

Thanks for your support, everyone. I'm glad you liked it so far. :smallsmile:

Anyway..... since I had some time off at school, I decided to work on a Filler Strip: Angelic Slayer, Phase 6.

Why Phase 6? Because I'm still working on Phase 5.

I LOLed when I read it the first time, and LOLed again when I reread it to make sure I understood it.
Drawing style tips -

MAXIMIZE SPACE IN THE BUBBLE!
Make a first line with a word or two, a couple equal lines with the middle one (or two) the widest, and a row with a single word at the bottom.
Also, center the text.
Round your stroke. Select a line, go to the Fill/Stroke dialogue, click "stroke style" and select the button that looks like a rectangle with a half circle on the top.
I'd give you screenshots for both, but I need to redownload Inkscape first.

You have a strong sense of humor Haruki. Those two new phases made me giggle, and I don't just say that. The time you spent making them was well worth it.

Sorry for the double post, but I sorta need to bump the Thread in order to tell people that Phase 7 is up.

Now, off to Calculus and stuff for me. Cya all later!

Love saurous as the judge (but don't you think that he would be a little... indifferent/hate-that-person-so-I'll-be-evil-to-them? for example, "Objection your honor, defendant is eviscerating the witness!! "Objection overruled."

(I guess it is banjo though... that sorta compensates.... :smalltongue: )

2008-04-21, 07:34 PM
Well, duh. Do you expect any trial that involves AMENites to be fair?

Anyways, great comic, Haruki.

Only if you can capitalize your "i"'s and punctuate everything in 15 sentences perfectly. (it's actually Haruki's choice...)

Ok ok... I take back what I said about saurous being a judge... it's too unrealistic... if saurous really did try to be a judge, he'd probably burst into flames...

hey ruki-chan. Love the new comic. And I see the Brit Effect is still working; and I'm glad too. :smallamused:

Overall; 'tis a great comic and I love the AMENite trial. Just perfect.

Here's my analysis of the webcomic (Sort of). Feel free to ignore.

Drawing style: 7
Humour: 9
Originality: 5
Plot: 1

Tempest Fennac
2008-04-22, 08:48 AM
To be fair, Angelic Slayer is made up of one-off joke comics, so the Plot score is slightly irrelevant. Banjo, if the comic happens in AMEN, there's noting stopping you coming back again to my knowledge. :smalltongue:

Excellent work, Haruki!!! The comic with Curly is awesome, and I know exactly how you feel (but with the exception that I always ask her if I'm spelling it right before getting hurt...)

Keep up the good job!!!

2008-04-24, 05:51 AM
Well, duh. Do you expect any trial that involves AMENites to be fair?

Anyways, great comic, Haruki.

Yes. They're always fair <.<.

Awesome Comic Haruki. Keep having fun with it.

G'luck in your finals. Remember; Calculus is fun.

Long post coming:

@Mostly everyone: Thanks a lot!

@Sonny: Sure, I don't see why not. But you have to take into account that I have a long list of Playgrounders to cameo, so it might take a while.

@PM and Saurous: Thanks! And thanks for being such good stars. :smallbiggrin:

@E.Nigma: I appreciate the constructive Criticism. I'll work hard on pulling the style and originality up, and then erradicating that last Plot Point. :smallbiggrin:

@Exy: Calculus is fun....... brains.......

@Everyone: New Phase will be up sometime hopefully before monday. The reason? I probably don't have to say, but yes. It's Calculus. :smallsigh:

Hey everyone, speaking as a member of law. I (even though in both AMEN and LAW (kinda contradictory, I know)) am part of LAW. This mostly inactive group of people who we may dare to call forum-friends. It started as Imperial Navy, which it is under the thread title. But mostly we go by LAW for the sake of having a cool acronym name. LAW stands for Legal Armada of War. It's always accepting members (for those who hate sifting through 3 pages of randomness for punishment of missing a single day of being on the forums)

We're a cool group, headed by Commodore Fluffy, this law loving freak who no one really listens to that much... We also have cool battles and plots and stuff, but not too often. If anyone who's semi-active who doesn't like HALO/AMEN (I know I don't like a couple in both) wants to join a cool organization, LAW/Imperial Navy is it.

As for rivaling the other organizations. Halo seems to think post count is some sort of currency, and will rank themselves as the best (based on the fact that at least half of them eat breakfast at least 3 times a day and engage in overly complicated love triangles) ... AMEN is just AMEN, we don't even try to outAMEN them

In regards to SheepOf Oblivion's post, I've never seen anyone apart from Anglabbey claim that the post count is important. As I said on the thread about HALO and AMEN being moved to the town, we do have some actual plots (sometimes). Also, I think the main reason why days in HALO usually start in the kitchen at breakfast time is because it makes sense to eat at that time.

Does this post have a point?
Also, though I agree that HALO is the best, we don't view post count as . . . currency.

Also, I'm not really sure what LAW's purpose is. I know AMEN is just randomness, and HALO is mostly just coffee drinking, angst, character development and everybody having at least 4 different characters, but what does LAW do?

*insert random declamation against HALOites thinking post count is important*

The membership is just so big that threads seem to go by very quickly, probably too quick for me to be honest. Nobody thinks they're currency, and as Town posts don't count in your total anyway I don't really see your point. Love triangles are love triangles, the people in them like them, I don't see the problem with it at all to be honest.

Anyhow, great comics Haruki, this stuff is good...very good!

Verra funny. I see Banjo's the butt monkey of the comic; keep it up. Shas, you should know by now that Maggy comes in a construction kit for easy assemblage and Really Cool Death Scenes.
He probably just had an eye malfunction.

ruki-chan this is one of the funniest comics I've read in ages. Keep it up, but don't forget to create your own characters and their personalities so when you go global there'll be jokes people can get without lurking here and reading two years of backstory.

Shas: having talked to Haruki, I and others are aware of Haruki's randomness and surreality-ness (is that a word?) and his crazyness (at times.) Him saying something like "why do they call it surreal?" or something is because it seems commonplace, maybe even normal in comparison to himself.

-chan can be used on male, although it is usually only done by parents or really close relatives. But yeah, it is obviously usually use on younger people, but -kun is often also used for young male, so I don't think there's a problem age wise.

Thank you very much, everyone! Phase 15 is now up!

Yes, yes, I know... some people actually DO use this stuff in their lives, but in class, that's all I could think of.

Announcement:
Angelic Slayer will be taking a short break. No more than a week. I just need a little time to rest from it. Besides, it gives me time to work on my templates so that I might improve the overall quality of the artwork. Thank you for your patience!

As for me, I'll still be around, and working on all the stuff I was previously working on, so don't worry, you'll still see me around.

One hell of a lot. Besides, you've only just noticed? I've been calling him that for months. Probably after a couple of months after we became good friends.
Like Echowinds said -chan can be used for very close friends. And abbreviating haruki to ruki is another sign of good friends.
'Tis a complicated nickname to explain, but ruki-chan is now very common.

On comic: I'd find it funnier if I knew any calculus. But it's still really good.

I guess the main idea of this comic is to explain to people who don't know about calculus why it's worth studying it, even though it is so damn hard. Loved it!

All right, I'm back to working on this. It's STOREE AHRCK Time!

No, I don't mean I'm gonna start adding plot to this comic. It's just a short story arc, then back to general randomness.

It'll take me a little longer to draw the first one. I'll just give a little sneak peak for now:
http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll190/Haruki-san/AMENizationXIII.png
AMENization XIII!
Yes, it's a Kingdom Hearts Reference. Worrynot, I'll make it so you can understand it even if you never played it.

To all AMENites who are not in the picture:
I'm sorry, this is not me considering anyone superior or more important than anyone else in any way. It's just that I had to pick out exactly 13 members, and not everyone could be in there.

Excellent comic ruki-chan. Very funny, especially as the outcome's so obvious.

Err, ruki-chan, you know MC's a fangirl right. And KH involves Sora and people like that. There may be a slight problem there.
Also, why could you only pick thirteen?

Oh, as it stands, if only the visible 3x3 grid exists, every other square has a mine in it. Was that intentional?

Skippy
2008-06-01, 10:45 AM
I love playing Minesweeper. It's by far, the best game in Windows. I even have it on my Linux-powered PC!

And no, with the grid like that, there is no way to know if the bottom left square has a mine or not. Unless you know the number of mines hidden in the grid.

Err, ruki-chan, you know MC's a fangirl right. And KH involves Sora and people like that. There may be a slight problem there.

I could only pick 13 because the organization we're supposed to be referencing is called Organization XIII, since they have exactly 13 members.


Oh, as it stands, if only the visible 3x3 grid exists, every other square has a mine in it. Was that intentional?

Actually, I opened a minesweeper, clicked somewhere and copied a little area in it. The grid itself is bigger, of course.

@Phase: Sorry I didn't notice your question. It's actually both. I decided against naming each of the individual parts of this little story arc, so I'll just number them. So, Chapitre 1 and 2 are also the names of the strips.
