Children of the Whales, the manga and the anime, is criminally underrated

Who's read or watched Children of the Whales? It's an incredibly beautiful manga and anime, with great characters, lots of emotion, and, being a fantasy, phenomenal world building. The artwork is wonderful, full of so much detail. The story opens with the Mud Whale, a giant vessel that sails over an...

Re: Last episode you watched (or chapter you read) v4

I forgot which episode it was, but it was episode of Knights of Sidonia. I have to say it's a fantastic series. Beautiful animation, and a great story with a sense of desperation, melancholy, and high stakes.

Re: What are you doing right now? (Version 2)

Right now I'm trying not to let Anime League distract me as I work on writing my science fiction dystopian novel. Needless to say, I'm doing a poor job.

Re: Favorite Straw Hat Pirates?

I'll be honest, I am only reading the manga, and I haven't gotten to Franky yet. I understand that he is the American of the group. (Anyone notice they are based on different nationalities? Even Oda confirmed this)

Unoduetre, that's not surprising at all. There is a lot to love about Luffy.

Re: What's the last thing you bought or will buy?

The last things I bought were some books from a gift card I got for my birthday. I bough four mangas, one volume of Children of the Whales, two omnibuses of One Piece, one omnibus of Vagabond. Non-manga related were Dinosaurs: The Grand Tour, Myth and Mankind: Celtic Myth, and a cute children's book...

Re: Video Games Festive Video Game Screenshot Contest!!!!

Can a video game screenshot be captioned if the characters are talking? I just always found this amusing.

Favorite Straw Hat Pirates?

I've been reading One Piece and absolutely loving it. I have to ask, who are your favorite Straw Hat pirates? For me, it's Usop and Tony Tony Chopper. I love Usop because he has a love of storytelling. He isn't as strong as the others but he still manages to show courage (despite his fears) when nee...

Do you think some art styles look better in anime or manga form?

Does anyone else find that some stories with their art look better as an anime whereas others look better as a manga, whereas some look great as both? To elucidate on this matter, take Rurouni Kenshin . I feel like the original manga does the art so much more justice. The anime muted out the sweepin...

How do the Mario Maker games reflect your life philosophy?

Hello everyone. I am writing an article on Medium about how the levels we design in the Mario Maker games are a window into our life philosophy. To be clear, some of the levels I design are very whimsical, thus reflecting my mentality as a writer who creates my own worlds. Some may create incredibly...

I wish manga had more page numbers

I know this sounds silly. But I do wish manga had more page numbers. There is a reason I feel this way. One day I got the last volume of Ranma 1/2 from Ebay, but when I did, I noticed there was a section that didn't flow very well. I didn't immediately catch it. I figured it out though when I notice...
