β¦ [THIS NOTE DOES NOT CONTAIN SPOILERS] The discovery of Reiwa no Di Gi Charat (2022) has inspired me to take up an idea from many years ago, and of course, for Cosplay! - Collage & Edition in FotoJet, photos by @Tesmoforia - 1 - 2 - 3 β¦
πͺπΈ ~ Β‘La cantidad de anuncios de estrenos de nuevos remakes de anime en los ΓΊltimos 10 dΓas a sido asombrosa!, tenemos el anuncio de la pelΓcula de la siempre idola e icΓ³nica "La Rosa de Versailles", nuevo anime de "Las guerreras MΓ‘gicas" y "Ranma 1/2."
πΊπΈ ~ The amount of new anime remake premiere announcements in the last 10 days has been staggering, we have the movie announcement of the ever idol and iconic "The Rose of Versailles", new anime of "The Magical Warriors" and "Ranma 1/2."
Pero mientras buscaba mas detalles sobre estas nuevas producciones, me impacto mucho saber que una de mis series favoritas de hace casi 25 aΓ±os tuvo un nuevo anime que estrenΓ³ en 2022. No sabΓa absolutamente nada y me he quedado pasmada porque yo AMABA a muerte DiGiCharat por allΓ‘ a inicios del 2000s.
But while I was looking for more details about these new productions, I was shocked to learn that one of my favorite series from almost 25 years ago had a new anime premiering in 2022. I knew absolutely nothing about it and have been stunned because I LOVED DiGiCharat to death back in the early 2000s.
Β‘Vamos a ubicarnos en contexto!, ΒΏquΓ© es DiGiCharat?, Γ©sta fue una serie anime que estrenΓ³ el 29 de noviembre de 1999 en JapΓ³n, y es una referencia imperdible si quieres hablar de anime del gΓ©nero humor absurdo, dadaΓsta e incluso "crack", y que en su momento causΓ³ furor por el tono de su guion, chistes y cantidad de referencias: Los episodios son cortos, de menos de 6 minutos (lo que la hacia ideal para comprar en eventos manganime cuando solo podias acceder a series comprando CDΒ΄s donde apenas cabΓan 3 capΓtulos regulares), tambiΓ©n cuenta con varios especiales y pelΓculas.
Let's get into context, what is DiGiCharat? this was an anime series that premiered on November 29, 1999 in Japan, and is an unmissable reference if you want to talk about anime of the genre absurd humor, dadaist and even "crack", and that at the time caused a furor for the tone of its script, jokes and number of references: The episodes are short, less than 6 minutes (which made it ideal to buy at manganime events when you could only access series buying CD's where barely fit 3 regular chapters), also has several specials and movies.

ΒΏQuΓ© hace especial a esta nueva serie de DiGiCharat?, aunque aun no termino de ver todos los capΓtulos, el primero a superado mis expectativas: En la serie original, Dejiko nuestra protagonista es una alienΓgena que llega a la tierra y para poder vivir termina trabajando en una tienda otaku de Akibahara. Esta nueva serie parece directamente la continuaciΓ³n del "ΒΏquΓ© ha ocurrido desde entonces?". Me parecio una genialidad que continuaran con ese tono de humor loco muy caracterΓstico de DiGiCharat, donde sin dar demasiadas explicaciones, las cosas pasan porque pasan y ya, y en el camino es muy posible que Dejiko lance rayos laser por los ojos.
What makes this new DiGiCharat series special? Although I haven't finished watching all the episodes, the first one has exceeded my expectations: In the original series, Dejiko, our protagonist, is an alien who arrives on Earth and ends up working in an otaku store in Akibahara in order to live. This new series seems directly the continuation of "what has happened since then?" I thought it was great that they continued with that crazy humor tone very characteristic of DiGiCharat, where without giving too many explanations, things happen just because they happen, and along the way it is very possible that Dejiko throws laser beams out of her eyes.
En esta nueva serie, la animaciΓ³n es bastante bonita y podrΓamos decir que los personajes pasaron por un "glow-up" peculiar... han respetado no solo las caracterΓsticas originales de la estΓ©tica de cada personaje sino su diseΓ±o en general, Β‘algo muy extraΓ±o de ver!, Dejiko y Rabi-En-Rose se ven prΓ‘cticamente igual pero mΓ‘s del "2020", me hizo muy feliz ver que conservaran aun esos accesorios gigantes, que era lo que mΓ‘s me gustaba de ellas.
In this new series, the animation is quite nice and we could say that the characters went through a peculiar "glow-up"... they have respected not only the original aesthetic features of each character but their overall design, something very strange to see, Dejiko and Rabi-En-Rose look practically the same but more of the "2020", it made me very happy to see that they still kept those giant accessories, which was what I liked the most about them.
Ver el nuevo anime de DigiCharat me ha traΓdo muchos lindos recuerdos, y tambiΓ©n la memoria de que en aquel tiempo yo querΓa hacer Cosplay de Dejiko, pero en ese entonces todavΓa no tenΓa las habilidades suficientes para crearlo, y las tiendas de internet no son lo que son hoy en dΓa, ademΓ‘s importar cosas a Venezuela era un dolor de cabeza. Asi que ayer domingo me tome un descanso para meditar, y pensar, "si decidiera hacer Cosplay de Dejiko hoy, ΒΏCΓ³mo seria el diseΓ±o?...", y comencΓ© a dibujar mi visiΓ³n de cΓ³mo me gustaria fuera ese traje.
Watching the new DigiCharat anime has brought me many nice memories, and also the memory that at that time I wanted to make Dejiko Cosplay, but back then I still didn't have enough skills to create it, and the internet stores are not what they are nowadays, plus importing stuff to Venezuela was a headache. So yesterday Sunday I took a break to meditate, and think, "if I decided to cosplay Dejiko today, what would the design look like?...", and I started to draw my vision of how I would like the costume to look like.
Pero ayer cuando comencΓ© a dibujar ya era muy de noche y lo deje a medio terminar; hoy por la maΓ±ana al despertar tome de nuevo el blog de dibujo y comencΓ© a limpiar todos los bocetos que hice. PensΓ© en un conjunto de 7 a 8 piezas: Vestido, delantal alto, lazo para la espalda, lazo para el pecho, medias altas decoradas, guantes decorados, zapatos son lazos hasta las rodillas y el tocado de la cabeza.
But yesterday when I started drawing it was already late at night and I left it half finished; today morning when I woke up I took the drawing blog again and started to clean up all the sketches I made. I thought of a set of 7 to 8 pieces: Dress, high apron, bow for the back, bow for the chest, decorated high stockings, decorated gloves, shoes are bows to the knees and the headdress.
Hace mucho tiempo que no dibujaba un figurΓn como propuesta para un proyecto Cosplay asΓ que no es perfecto como veras, pero estoy satisfecha con el resultado porque se entiende la composiciΓ³n del traje y el volumen y proporciΓ³n que quisiera tuviera cada parte.
It's been a long time since I drew a figurine as a proposal for a Cosplay project so it's not perfect as you'll see, but I'm satisfied with the result because you can understand the composition of the costume and the volume and proportion that I would like each part to have.
Finalmente lo pinte con los marcadores a color mΓ‘s aproximados que tenΓa al tono en que imagino este Cosplay. Estoy debatiΓ©ndome entre la idea de trabajar 2 a 3 todos diferentes de color azul, o respetar la paleta de colores original de Dejiko y solo utilizar 1 tono de azul para todo el traje. Ah, y no he logrado resolver por ahora la adaptaciΓ³n del tocado de la cabeza, es bastante grande y mi parte favorita del conjunto asi que creo lo dejare para otro dΓa cuando piense con mΓ‘s calma cΓ³mo hacerlo, porque si el complemento es demasiado ostentoso va a hacer ver simple el traje, y viceversa.
I finally painted it with the closest color markers I had to the shade I imagine this Cosplay to be. I'm debating between the idea of working 2 or 3 different shades of blue, or respecting Dejiko's original color palette and only use 1 shade of blue for the whole costume. Ah, and I haven't managed to solve for now the headdress adaptation, it's quite big and my favorite part of the outfit so I think I'll leave it for another day when I think more calmly how to do it, because if the complement is too ostentatious it will make the costume look simple, and vice versa.
Aunque esta es una idea, quisiera hacerlo realidad y colocarlo en mi lista de proyectos. Tengo bastantes pendientes donde abundan los trajes mΓ‘s serios, de tono bastante elegante, y esta adaptaciΓ³n de Dejiko aunque no sea una prioridad va a salir bastante costosa, no va a ser un traje ni remotamente barato de fabricar, pero la perspectiva de hacer Cosplay de algo que quise hace mΓ‘s de 15 aΓ±os... wow, es dificil describir las emociones que esa idea despierta en mi. Β‘AdemΓ‘s!, quΓ© genial seria hacer cos Cosplay-retro en estos momentos π π π
Although this is an idea, I would like to make it happen and put it on my project list. I have quite a few pending ones where more serious costumes abound, quite elegant in tone, and this Dejiko adaptation although not a priority it's going to come out quite expensive, it's not going to be a costume even remotely cheap to make, but the prospect of cosplaying something I wanted more than 15 years ago... wow, it's hard to describe the emotions that idea arouses in me. Besides, how cool would it be to cosplay-retro cosplay right now π π π
Si no conocΓas DiGiCharat, hoy es muy momento para ver la serie original, puedes terminarla en una tarde por lo corto de sus capΓtulos y experimentar un viaje al pasado de lo que eran las series animΓ© hace casi 3 dΓ©cadas. Comedia friki en su estado mΓ‘s puro, Β‘incluso con referencia a los otakus, las idols, y las fujoshis! π π
TambiΓ©n puedes decir lo que opinas de mi diseΓ±o de Dejiko-Chan para un posible futuro proyecto Cosplay. Si tienes alguna idea para mejorarlo me encantarΓa leerte en los comentarios, como siempre valoro mucho el feedback, y estoy bastante animada en comenzar a hacer una serie de adaptaciones de personajes retro π π
If you didn't know DiGiCharat, today is a great time to watch the original series, you can finish it in an afternoon because of the short chapters and experience a trip to the past of what anime series were like almost 3 decades ago. Geek comedy in its purest state, even with reference to otakus, idols, and fujoshis! π π
You can also say what you think of my Dejiko-Chan design for a possible future Cosplay project. If you have any ideas for improvement I'd love to read you in the comments, as always I value feedback a lot, and I'm pretty stoked to start doing a series of retro character adaptations π π
