i dont remember anything about anything in altair so the fact this random chapter was able to pull emotions out of my heart is a good testament to the artist I think

I'm reading a summary and remember only some of this. I'd say it's time for a reread but I don't think I could finish a 1300 page epic right now

I started reading Don Rosa's Scrooge McDuck stuff recently because I noticed that they started printing them in collections that were easy to get and get this: it's really good

I don't know if it was Rosa or Barks who wrote this one but I like the one where Magica de Spell curses Scrooge and Donald to have horizontal gravity and ever since reading it sometimes when I enter a new building I try to figure out how I would escape if it happened to me

Lol I've never read this but I've done this kinda thing too.

As a kid back when my family was looking for houses I would just lay on the floor and imagine walking on the empty ceiling and how that would work

its a wierd fantasy history but since its a pastiche of the near east vs medieval religious knighthoods I'm consistently getting it mixed up with arslan when I try to remember anything thats happening

I started to say historical/pseudo-historical but ultimately they come out the same way, I read them for a little while and get bored even if the art is really fantastic :(

thinking about it I dont think theres any historical series that I've finished and would recommend

Japanese period pieces yeah but thats slightly different from foreign history.

Vinland saga is too aimless, it built up alot of momentum in the farm arc but didn't commit to that change of tone and setting since its back to viking squabbles

Vagabond is still really cool even though chapters come out at a snail's pace. I recommend buying the big volumes anyways

I think a lot of historical manga is just too dang long. I read like 20 volumes of Vagabond (purchased) and was looking to see if I had stopped anywhere near the end and LMAO

also I guess GK counts as historical but I've stuck with it way more (I mean I did quit reading it but not due to being bored I'm just waiting on the official releases to get past what I've already read)

Mine is buffering endlessly, and so is the Twitch app. Netflix is fine. I don’t know if my internet or my PS4 is acting up.

Looks like it must be just Crunchyroll being Crunchyroll. I played Dragon's Dogma for a couple hours, came back, and now it's working alright on PC. Good thing too cause I wanna see more march comes in like a lion

If you want a good historical samurai anime with loads of detail you should watch Hyouge Mono. I don't know how much of the manga is tled but it's probably really good too
