I am curious. You stated you’ve been working on The Hue’s premise since 1998 I think the date was? How much has it changed since it was first thought up? Why did you decide to work on Garanos before The Hues?

That’s correct. The Hues will turn 15 years old on August 27th.

It’s changed pretty dramatically more than a few times since its inception.  In the very beginning, it was essentially a Sailor Moon fanfic, then for awhile it was a pretty conventional magical girl series, and now it’s a love letter to the genre.  I’ve described this iteration of The Hues as a collaboration with my 12-year-old self, which is pretty accurate.

Garanos presented itself in my head during a time when I had convinced myself that The Hues would never get made, so that’s why I made it first.  TH had been my baby for a decade at that point and I had really kind of lost objectivity about it.  It just wasn’t ready back then, and I wasn’t ready to change things up in order to make it something more special.
