Notes on the Name "Pixkapow"
The name Pixkapow is a disambiguation. Its etymology differs by definition.
1. When referring to the trademark of the Inter-State Studio and Publishing Company, it is derived from the words pictures and kapow, and a calque of both the Korean 사진빵 sajinppang and the Japanese 写真ボカン shashinbokan, and is a series to which that photography studio filed a federal trademark registration on Monday, May 17, 2004. Its serial number is 76592713, as confirmed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
2. When referring to the name used fictitiously by the author, it is a translation of the Korean 화소빵 hwasoppang and the Japanese 畵素ボカン gasobokan, and the author notes that it comes from the words pixel and kapow. The author describes the anime as the story of himself as a married college student who leads the Mangaville Defense Force in the year 2025. However, Mangaville and its space colonies are 7107 to 12345 years more technologically advanced than the rest of the near future.

"You got married EARLY?! Unbelievable!!!!!! I didn't think YOU could do so!!! You could end up like your father!!!"

"Strarf, stop calling me a dodo! I am NOT a dodo!"
-Arnval
"Pleinair, stop eating Usagi!" -Timothy Robert Carrington, manager of the Mangaville Defense ForceIn addition to these quotes, the author decided to name the anime he identified Pixkapow instead of one of its native names because it was the correct translation; therefore, he also pointed out that a common misconception is that it is named after one trademark of the Inter-State Studio and Publishing Company, and also he explained that the pix- part is short for the word pixel, not pictures as you might expect, so you should NOT confuse the information on Note 2 with that on Note 1.
