Thinking about the works of this legend. I had to draw something action packed!
NABESHIN, aka Director Shinichi Watanabe himself ✨️

very much pales in comparison to my Nabeshin from Excel Saga cosplay from 2 years prior (that's my real hair).

Although Akiyuki Shinbo's influence would come to dominate Inokawa's style, you can still see traces of his first mentor. When Inokawa directs comedic episodes, Nabeshin's taste usually comes out in the former of extreme wide angles, funny reactions, and emotive iconography.

Nabeshin's resource-conscious storyboard allows this episode to shine even given the production circumstances. It also helps to have Shaft lending a hand.

does it count if I suck at it and use the Nabeshin-adjacent palette?

Another small thing (besides a lot of the other anime refs in the ep) I caught was one of the background characters looked a lot like the director Shinichi Watanabe (Nabeshin); aka Lupin w/ an afro.
