Shuichi Ikeda is pretty good at voicing mentor figures who lose their arms while protecting their proteges

EmmyOk posted:Also if anyone ever says something like "you can skip skypiea" "skupieas not that good and just skip it to get to the good stuff" you're in danger and MUST call the police ya i'm still in the middle of Water 7 atm since i've been in much more of a vidya mood than manga/anime lately when i actually have free time, but there's nothing skippable so far to me manga-wise, even side arcs like Long Ring Long Land just kick too much rear end to consider jumping ahead over

Agreed for sure. I’ve no idea how people don’t like the Davy back fight it’s unbelievably funny. Same people call literally anything that isn’t just direct plot reveals “filler”. Braindead

P-Mack posted:Yes, cause the anime has to stall while waiting for more manga content to adapt. The manga is very long but that's just cause it's a huge story, nearly every arc moves at a good pace while you're reading it. IMHO Wano did kind of dragged on the end that has been really pronounced on the anime too, I think the Kaidou fight is going to take thrice as many episodes as the Frieza fight lol

How’d you like it The CGI hasn't aged well but the direction of the scenes is good enough that it doesn't really drag it down, the traditional animation is fantastic and the music wasn't what I was expecting but I loved it. I didn't realize until looking it up later that it was an adaptation/modernization of a manga from the 60s

Like instead of expanding on the cool and smart stuff that Golden Experience could do with its base power (transforming objects into plants or animals) Araki just added bullshit powers to it and then gave it Requiem which is a ridiculous Deus ex Machina which really cheapened Giorno as a character

I really like Giorno as a character but his ability is just too open ended and gains the ability to do what it needs each fight. Like in Purple Haze where he turns a brick into a snake that synthesises an antidote. Bruno otoh has a super basic ability but the best and most fun fights in Part 5 because of how creative he can be with it without changing how it works.

reading a catalog of such stuff as dreams are made on. cool little collection of 1-2 page long sketched out stories written in 1998-1999 in hong kong. all use stuff the author saw in HK culture then as a prompt for a story usually about a bizarre type of person or to comment on the thing itself. includes things like fashion and tech and movies + tv, even some gaming stuff like the dreamcast and final fantasy 8. pretty neat

wrapping up book four of the Long Sun series from my dog gene wolfe and i'm having a great time. i see it slept on but i don't get it. it's wildly different from new sun but still shows his skill especially his character writing. it follows more perspectives than just the protagonist but all of the characters are great. they're clever and cunning in their own way and change in compelling ways. my favorite part of new sun is how severian fundamentally changes and wolfe includes mulitple characters who undergo transformations just as vast. narratively it has some shiftiness, moving from what seems like a small scale mystery to game of thrones style political maneuvering to war in the heavens type poo poo. includes his favorite technique of doing a cliffhanger right before the action and then skipping to waaay after it's done then having a character describe or refer to the action chapters later, which i never get tired of. all in all i think it's some of his best character writing and i wholeheartedly recommend it if you're attracted to new sun for things besides it's cosmic/religious aspects, which are a bit more subdued as the scale never reaches quite those same heights but does touch upon some of the same ideas + some gnostic style thinking which i thought was interesting for a catholic guy.

There's top-tier character writing w/ Silk, Auk, Mint, etc. but it gets bogged down for me in how stylistically different it is from Book of the New Sun. There's lots of dry, repetitive, expository dialog in Long Sun, and even though there's a decent justification for it I really found myself liking each book in the series less than the one before it. Glad you liked it though and from what I've heard Short Sun is even better.

im currently doing a very slow reread of Book of the New Sun (w/ Lexicon Urthus to make sure i pick up on all the weird archaic english terms Wolfe drops in). it feels so good to come back to these books... i love how the only perspective you get on this strange expansive world is a memoir written by guy who claims to have eidetic memory, but can't keep his story straight chapter-to-chapter. last time i read these i only made it as far as Urth, looking forward to reading Long Sun/Short Sun this time i tried reading a bunch of old pulp fantasy/dying earth standbys to get a sense of the tradition those books were participating in (Moorcock's Elric books, some of Vance's Dying Earth books) but none of them grabbed me like New Sun. Vance is fun but his stories & prose are very simple & workmanlike (not necessarily a bad thing in a short story); Moorcock is similar but dressed up with a lot of florid descriptions that look impressive but don't contribute much. Wolfe's just the better writer

And mint and marble are two of my favorite characters he’s ever written. I love the transformation severian undergoes so him doing that in a couple different ways keeps me engaged.

Vance is a weird writer. He turns out some absolutely sublime prose in books like Lyonesse and then some of his work is just extremely workmanlike
