I am reading Inuyasha for the first time and it is hilarious how *every single fight* need to include three panels of Miroku starting to use his wind tunnel, noticing evil wasps, and the declaring he is useless.

Never had an author regretted giving a character a specific power more. It makes me think of an RPG where you get an insta death spell but everything is immune

It was pretty funny in the anime to hear characters gasp and cry out "Naraku's poisonous insects!" every time, too.

I think they did that in the manga too but the wasps didn't show up quite as often

Man how often so they show up in the anime?? It us genuinely like every other chapter in the manga.

Sadly he still does more than poor Sango.

Ah, forgot about that. It might be about the same in both then (though I forget if the wasps showed up during any filler arcs/movies)

Speaking of, was/is the Yashahime manga they started after the fact any better than the anime? I’ve heard Viz was translating it and it does some different things with the story

I've been reading this older food manga, Oishinbo, and ran into a chapter that really didn't translate very well into English. Basically there's one about how Japan wasn't using China's preferred name when referring to the country. This leads to an awkward exchange about how Japan is called "Japan" in other countries.

It is pretty weird how we just make up another name for a country. We're starting to revert to the native names with cities (Istanbul not Constantinople etc) so maybe in ~50 years or so we'll be calling Japan Nippon and Germany Deutschland

Unsure if kingdom is shounen or seinen but can come explain the difference between what I assume is confusionism and legalism as I think(?) That's what's being debated currently in the series

The reduction ad absurdam:

Confucianism: you should be virtuous, which includes things like honoring your parents (but your father more than your mother because lol women amirite), and by extension the state, your metaphorical father. Tradition is all-important. It is extremely traditional that you put Confucianists in high offices bee tee dubs.

Legalism: you should obey the law in exchange for fabulous prizes, such as promotions or not having this assortment of sharp objects inserted into your tender flesh.

Why do I get the feeling that the reason why doing different voices is forbidden is because some rakugo master centuries ago was mad that someone could do voices better than he could and forbade it out of spite?

Kill Blue: I do appreciate that the immediate reaction to the terms of the battle from the supporting cast is laughter.

Also, again, I think Kill Blue is going to be fine after the MC going, okay, I don't have to do this but she reminds me of my daughter, so here's a chance to make up for being a lovely dad

Martial Master Asumi: okay, cute, the series can be shortened to MMA and it's about MMA.

Also a little disappointed that everyone's not wearing combat gloves all the time like in the colored art. Kinda thought we were in a Street Fighter-esqe world for a second

Yeah it's up there, along with Gaku (operating that one dude) just tearing through the examiners. Like I think he grabbed one dude and swung him so hard that people got fuckin' blasted into pieces. Followed up by grabbing a chick by the leg and playing an intense game of skipping stones with her.

Gaku is metal.
