Re: What are you watching/reading 2022?

“Edgerunners” is too noir for me to watch more than a couple of eps at a time. Being an SF fan, I appreciate a series that doesn’t cater to the LCD. Lately I have been staving off boredom with Rainman Ray and a Chinese series, “Demons and Gods”, which is only 5 min. of story per ep (minus intro) but...

Went ahead and dropped Kunoichi Tsubaki . Premise is weird, and most of the girls are forgettable.

Couple of Cuckoos is OK, don't see it doing anything amazing(why it's 24 eps, who knows?).
I found I no longer cared ~ ep 17 of Cuckoos.

Re: What are you watching/reading 2022?

Seeing news of a full-color series of books of select chapters of "Ms Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" makes me wonder if this is the first glimpse of robo-coloring to hit the market. Surely if movies can be auto-colored, manga can be too. I was irritated to see Amazon's lousy search engine didn't find the ...

Re: [1604] residual memory

Maybe the "Translation" button on the comic main page should go to this forum? So confusing! Idk if this is a dig at my translation effort or a r/woosh moment :) but good one, slow-clap. Sorry, totally not a slur on the translations, which I have never used. More a reflection on the fact that I hav...

Re: [1604] residual memory

I've been following the comic since around 2002, and I used to really love it! 20 years have passed since then and I've moved onto other interests, but I've always kept up with the happenings in the comic when it crosses my mind to do so. recently, though - and especially with the appearance of pee...

I'm not too thrilled by the way that Ranking of Kings ended, with the Daida/Manjaro thing.
This was a goofy plot pretending to be subtle and profound.

Witchcraft Works anime (2014), a comedy in which the usual male/female roles are reversed and the witch is constantly saving her boyfriend's butt. I was curious about my friend's comment that he didn't fully understand the plot and am re-watching it. I also found the original is a manga (March 2010 ...

YKK and Comet-san news

After ~ 15 years, "Cosmic Baton Girl Comet-san" has finally gotten fansubs for the last half of the eps. I've been waiting about that long. Even tho this slice-of-life is better than 90% of US cartoons, it will probably never be dubbed and sold in America. Indeed, I have a couple of Trumpie nieces w...

Just started reading the Eden's Zero manga and getting deja vu from the art style. But looking at the artist's Wikipedia page doesn't show anything else I have read. Probably just style similarity.

Re: What are you watching/reading Q3 2021?

A standard feature of Japanese light novels in which the author proclaims his joy that people are reading his work and other mis...

Re: What are you watching/reading Q2 2021?

I love the final season of the remake of "Fruits Basket", tho they cut the budget and it isn't as pretty as the 1st 2 seasons. I also wonder if this new version is a little darker than the original manga and anime ( e.g. ep 6 and Tohru) or if my memory just wallpapered over the darker bits.

We're only supposed to mention anime, but I highly recommend the French "April and the Extraordinary World" animated movie. Rated PG, but much more nuanced than a kiddie movie.

An unconventional story about how a 17-year-old schoolgirl's infatuation with a 44-year-old restaurant ma...

I found an excellent 3D Chinese anime to watch: "Carp Reborn".  About a Japanese special-forces guy who is transferred to an alternate ancient Japan, where magic is power and power is everything.  Great translation, but seems Chinese anime always has Chinese subs hardcoded.  There must be 2 major di...

In a couple of years, AI will be able to colorize and Fred will be able to just tweak it a bit to get his slant on it. They will go back and colorize all the old comics and haters will hate it, as usual. 👌

Re: What are you watching/reading Q3 2020?

Watched "Daily Life of the Immortal King" (Xian Wang De Ri Chang Sheng Huo). Better than usual characters & plot (IMHO) for a Chinese work. Falls in the "Demon King Reincarnated" story fad current lately. Excellent English translation.

Re: What are you watching/reading Q3 2020?

I should look at Wikipedia before posting - 14 vols + 3 of short stories. The anime is doing an OK job of adapting the light novel, but of course there is a lot more. Reading the novel helps me decipher the "little sister" scene in ep 3, et al.

I am enjoying the remake of "Fruits Basket" anime, though I don't remember it being this dark in the manga.  Also the 3rd season "My Teen Romantic Comedy..."  I guess this will be the end of TRC anime? and I see the 10 vol. of the light novel is out, which is supposed to be the last.
