The art could be much better but this isn't anime at all. Goons have the worst ability to discern art influences.

It depends on the art style. Osamu Tezuka's characters blend together a lot, same with Akira Toriyama. Playing Dragon Quest 8, you'd swear Goku forgot how to charge his ki and got a haircut.

I would like to have an ASoIaF comic drawn by Junji Ito instead of that massive pile of dire capybaras from some months ago.

Who the hell are the big guy and the little kid on the left side near the tree with the weirwood shield? I seriously cannot remember there being a little bald boy. I thought it could have been Brienne and Pod but it was a bit of a wild guess.

Dunk and Egg. The Weirwood shield is the shield of the knight of the Laughing Tree and it's behind the one we're guessing is Lyanna, so it's pretty obvious what theory the artist subscribes to there.

Azure_Horizon posted:Modern American comics. I can see that I guess. The color and shading are more reminiscent of animation, though, and the facial construction/expressions/whatever are also more cartoony than comic booky -- in my opinion, anyway. Not that it matters, because anything like that gets called anime around here.

Why do you think they give anime characters such ridiculous hair? It's so you can tell them apart. See Akira Toriyama's art style which consists of drawing the same character with different hair styles over and over and over. Similar thing is happening here.

TheLoquid posted:Ok, I got everybody but The flaming green guy in the bottom right is the Mad King Aerys, the flaming green guy with the sword next to Brienne is probably Berric or Thoras. The ninja to the left of Joffrey is Ser Illyn Payne, according to the artist. I assume the thing to the very top left is just a white walker. The artist says the one "in front of the white walker" is Qhorin, but I'm not sure which one they mean so whether it applies to the blond guy, I don't know.

Well, to be fair, GRRM has all those other things going on in his life. Writing fanfic about pulp scifi works, lambasting people who write fanfic about his works, proofing tiny pewter sculptures of naked 13-year-old girls, going to conventions, talking about how important work ethic is, having Ty hand-blow new vaccuum tubes for GRRM's ancient WordStar, taking the Rascal back and forth between his two houses, and so much more. JK Rowlings just had to write an incredibly trite story about a little boy whose foster family is hella abusive and fantasizes about being a special wizard who saves the world because he lives an empty, meaningless existance as their house boy.

Mind blown. Harry Potter happened entirely in the dilapidated mind of an abused boy as he slowly succumbs to sensory deprivation in a closet under the stairs.

You forgot the copious amounts of food, glorious food that the man eats. What little spare time he has is probably spent between that and not shaving.

Holy poo poo... I finally just finished the book. I got the book on release day and just now finished it. Nothing happened, that was by far the most boring book in the series. Is this what I waited five years for? They should have called it "A Chat with Dragons". It was one long book of people planning to do something with nothing actually getting done. GRRM Strikes again!

Throwdown posted:They should have called it "A Chat with Dragons". Given that Dany basically did nothing and Aegon was involved in about three conversations, while the actual dragons were locked in a gigantic cell before escaping and burning some people for one chapter (except for Rhaego, who hosed off, reappeared draconis ex machina and then hosed off again), I'd say "Some Chats About Dragons" would be more accurate.

It's a llllot like the bulk of A Clash of Kings, really, it and Feast both (which makes sense, of course). A lot of movement, not much anything else. Only without the Blackwater payoff. poo poo is exhaaaaaausting.

Oh, man, Battle of Blackwater's gonna be sick as hell when they get to it on the show. That's probably the problem people have with Feast and Dance, actually. The lack of giant sick-rear end payoffs. No Blackwater, no Red Wedding, no beNedding, just... dangling character threads.

I don't know how people can say Clash is a lot like Dance and Feast. As far as a large new group of players in the game, Clash has Stannis's people and they're involved in the central story arc right from the get go. Feast and Dance introduces people and places we've never seen before, and if they tie into the central plot, it takes them forever to do it. Also, Clash had it's own self contained story arcs that were concluded by the book's end, while in Feast and Dance the plot sorta just wanders around and peters out at the end of the book.

I thought it was somewhat fitting that the end of Jon's chapters was him riling up a bunch of awesome characters to go kick fuckin' rear end on the books emerging villian who just called him out, looking like something awesome is about to happen and then a bunch of dudes stab him to make sure it doesn't.

The War of the Five Kings is settling down and, really, splintering. So many different groups are rising up that it's less a war and more total societal downfall. I don't see much in the way of big payoffs until the Others get past the Wall and the dragons come to Westeros.
