ABD (Anime Balls Deep) and MBD (Movie Balls Deep) thrive on personality. What makes their channels stand out isn’t just the franchises they cover, but the way they cover them—fast, funny, opinionated, and endlessly rewatchable. Their hosts turn analysis and commentary into entertainment, pulling viewers through massive fictional worlds while never taking themselves too seriously. That balance between deep fandom and playful irreverence became the foundation for this project.

Instead of focusing on characters or quotes, I looked at place. So much of what ABD and MBD talk about is rooted in unforgettable settings—worlds, cities, planets, and landscapes that fans instantly recognize. My goal was to translate those discussions into a visual format that felt unexpected yet familiar: 1950s-inspired travel posters. This era was chosen deliberately—the golden age of tourism advertising, when destinations were sold with optimism, bold color, and romantic exaggeration.

Each poster treats a fictional location as if it were a real-world travel destination, inviting the viewer to “visit” places they’ve only seen on screen. The cheerful, mid-century style contrasts with the often intense or dramatic source material, creating a fun visual tension that mirrors the tone of the channels themselves. It’s a playful reframe: serious worlds presented with tongue-in-cheek charm.

With so many incredible locations discussed across anime, movies, and Netflix series, the scale of the project became part of the challenge—and the excitement. The original print run consisted of 30 unique posters, each celebrating a different franchise or setting. Together, they form a broad visual archive of the worlds ABD and MBD love to break down.

The end result is a collection that feels expansive, collectible, and deeply fan-aware. By reverse-engineering what the hosts talk about most and filtering it through a nostalgic design lens, the posters turn commentary into artifacts—souvenirs from fictional worlds, imagined through the optimism of the 1950s and the humor of modern fandom.
