Even for a filler chapter that was a nice little peek into their lives and the art was still amazing.

Epoxy Bulletin posted:The good news: I managed to get Otoyomegatari 23 done in just a few days! Thank you so much for your hard work! I loved it. It reminded me of those old photo books I used to read when I was a kid. Filled with pictures and short captions trying to describe what is happening. In fact, most of the drawings seem to resemble exactly that style of old school sociology or National Geographic narratives. It really accents the idea that this is what it would have been like to look at the lives of these exotic people through pictures if you were some kid in the 1900s. Far from it being a cop out I felt it is exactly in keeping with how the story was in the beginning. As if this is what the doctor would have been doing if he was a photographer. In fact, I felt that the recent story arcs, while entertaining, was getting a bit boring. This series is such a beautifully romantic view of the old imperialistic exploratory era, and this chapter absolutely nails that nostalgic feeling I originally had with those silent panels full of wonderful views and amazingly detailed garments. I gladly wait for the next chapter. Like I used to look forward to periodicals and books before the internet.

It's a perfectly nice little presentation, I only say cop-out (and maybe I should've chosen my words better) because the chapter is prefaced with that little note that says essentially "nope not ready yet, check back next deadline. For now here's some stuff I wanted to draw but couldn't fit in before"

I really love how the author got us to stop being used to the violence in this manga. We kinda feel exactly like Thorfinn, wanting to avoid unnecessary conflict.

One of the nicely emphasised touches is how wrecked Arneis' hands are. It's visual evidence of how hard her life has been. [edit] I'm also trying to remember in which Saga someone bit someone's head off. I think it was Egil's but now I'm trying to check I can't find the reference.

The artist is really good with hands, and using them to illustrate how tough things were; I think one of my favorite bits is the girl in the village who stole the ring, and the contrast between the ring and the roughness of her hands.

Yeah I clearly remember that too. I think it was the first time I noticed how much detail is put into the hands. Handchat.

Happy June y'all, have a goofy bonus chapter of Otoyomegatari: (no idea when/where it was actually published, found it randomly and set it aside for a rainy day) The new chapter should be out on the 20th, I'll start f5ing google around then but don't expect to see much until about this time next month. Not ruling out any sooner, but I wouldn't want anyone to get their hopes up.

The best thing about that chapter is that it's only a reminder that she's the most bad-rear end character in the series.

A new chapter of Jin has been translated. I'm not aware if the thread has come into contact with this yet, but I'm enjoying the time traveling surgeon. Check it out, it's neat.

That was something amazing right there, thanks for sharing. I want to see more 'professionals travel back in time and employ their expert shenanigans on the primitive population' stories now, but for now this will do.

Huh, despite its weird premise this is actually a really interesting manga. Also I'm learning things about surgery, so score one for educational value, I guess.

That was definitively very interesting. I hope someone will translate the rest, apparently there is a total of 20 volumes out. As well as a live-action drama that was quite well received in Japan.

Chapters 9 and 10 of Gunka no Baltzar were released, if anyone else is still reading it. e: I think some of my favorite parts are the research pages done for this manga. It's interesting trivia. Nondevor fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Jun 19, 2012 |

Nondevor posted:Chapters 9 and 10 of Gunka no Baltzar were released, if anyone else is still reading it. Absolutely! Thanks for the link. Baltzar's main objective in the charge is to try to prevent the artillery from killing too many civilians, I think? With only five unblooded cavalry, I can't imagine this will last for very long. If there were more of them, causing the insurgents to break up and flee would be plausible, but I don't think so with five guys on horseback. Unless I'm missing something, which is also perfectly plausible.

Oh good, I was wondering when I was going to get my fix for this month. You do excellent work, Epoxy Bulletin. I doubt we'd be getting these chapters at all if not for you. As for the chapter itself: I loved the part where Smith admits that English people like him don't actually process the food they eat themselves. And then he realizes that he comes across as a complete and utter wimp to these people. I've had those exact same feelings before.

Well there it is. The real plot of Vinland Saga emerges. Everything up until now has been to give Thorfinn the perspective to want to build a better society in a new world. But... [major history spoilers for the likely end of the whole Vinland Saga manga] This is going to be such a god drat sad story... Thorfinn Karlsefni's expedition historically ends with a misunderstanding leading to war with the Skraelings. In Vinland Saga Thorfinn is going to get all the way to loving Newfoundland, build a town there, start to raise a family... but war is going to follow him there and destroy it all.
