Naruto 619 (Rey Mysterio?)
This is the first time we've seen what the Second Hokage is like, and in some ways he's kind of similar to Danzo. This chapter actually turned out pretty well because they finally covered him and we're learning a bit more about the first too. I didn't expect him to be like Naruto, I figured he'd be more calm and collected.
Although I admit, I do kind of find it rather humorous that Sasuke is staring at him like that at the end when this is the person that defeated Madara with the Nine Tails at the same time.

I doubt I'll ever use manga as a writing reference.

Shorter hairs just do it for me.

So... the Uchiha are a ripoff of the Vulcans from Star Trek. They repress their emotions because their emotions are so strong that they did some sick shit in the past because of them. Remember that episode of Next Generation where a Vulcan terrorist finds an ancient Vulcan weapon that kills people using emotion but Picard reveals that it can't kill anyone who isn't being aggressive?

serial experiments lain - the nightmare of fabrication -
1. Wow, I remember nothing about Lain.
2. Supposedly it was a bonus one-shot included in an artbook, and is not related to the anime.
3. What happened seems clear enough, yet the why remains elusive, kinda like my memories of the anime itself.
4. ABe is a bro.

Wasn't there somekind of passiv charima bonus to the ability. People with the Emperor Haki have an charming aura around them, what helps them getting follower. That's why the biggest leader in One Piece have the Emperor Haki. It's the ability of an born leader.
So it makes sense that people like Boa (leader of the amazon kingdom), Doflamingo (leader of the biggest crime synadicate), the four emperors and the marine commanders have this power. There are all born leaders. That Rayleigh has the power, could only be an exception to the rule, so that he can explain Haki to the audience and Luffy (Plot-holes for the sake of the story). That Ace doesn't had the Emperor Haki would also make perfect sense. He never was the leader typ and much more supported Whitebeard. It would not be suprised, if Buggy also has the Emperor Haki. He always has an easy time, get people around and follow him.

really enjoy this chapter, Hashirama/Tobirama seems kinda similar with Sarutobi/Danzou. I even like the reasoning behind sharingan, which make Obito turning dark more believable.
and I love that kid Tsunade picture, she already like gambling since that age huh. she must be around 4 or 5 years old in that pic. hahaha

I can't wait till these new punks get put in their place. I kept expecting Oga to come out of nowhere with one punch and quickly reestablish his dominance, but I s'pose that's already been done to hell in this manga.
Ditto. The info dump on the Sharigan made me much less critical of all the HATRED and DARKNESS shenanigans in the past. Probably one of my favorite chapters in a long time.

You have to be joking. I'd like to read a manga with that art style.
But Kubo made Orochimaru look interesting.

It's really weird watching these cute shoujo art style grade schoolers basically being pulled into fates worse than death.

Shiki vol 11 [END]
The level of violence the villagers resorted to, in the end, felt worse than all the vampires did. They even murdered the people at the sanctuary in cold blood and those were normal humans. The scene with the mob raising the weapon on Miwako was chilling.
So I was happy that Seishin was able to escape with Sunako after turning into a werewolf (at least I think he's become one and not a vampire). It also kinda felt like poetic justice for that giant dude to get killed that way by Seishin as he was getting excited for torturing Sunako.
I did feel bad for Megumi. The way she dies and she thinking she has finally left the village.

On reflection, I kinda like the way things've been handled so far, i.e. with the flitting around and changing of targets rather than working through them in some sort of fixed order.
Though the translation's different. One of the few proper artbooks I own.

Yep, it came from 'An Omnipresence In Wired'. There's an English version in this:

Here is a mash-up I edited for you in the meantime.
I will treasure this
but I won't use it orz
I really gotta rewatch Lain some day. I bet not being 14 and knowing shit about things really helps make that series even better.

I know I already talked about Naruto, but I forgot to mention that I'm actually rather confused about the Senju and Uchiha now. If the Uchiha are the ones that value 'love', then are the two elder sons reversed?

My gift to you.
That's okay, my intentions were not for you to actually use it.

They both value love. It's just that the Uchiha get a power boost through experiencing intense emotions and they created a bunch of twisted rituals like killing best friends and making themselves emotionally unstable to gain power.
Stuff I got this week:
I'm really disliking stuff released in omnibus formats. Too damn big.
I need to buy this.

The Girl Friends volumes are right on the outer edge of comfortable to hold. Actually, they're probably about half over the bridge... unfortunately the pacing supports the split exactly where it is.

The only books I want in physical forms anymore are art books pretty much. I dunno, the tablet is more convenient since I travel often.
Well, the Uchiha clan ancestor was explained like this
Uchiha clan ancestor
If force and strength were his key to peace, then this doesn't quite add up. The siblings were represented as polar opposites, unless Madara Uchiha is actually lying (including to Tobi).
And they get that force/strength by cutting themselves. They are very emotional, but they don't believe that's the key to piece. They use their strong emotions as a tool to gain power so they can force peace.
Mangas/books/Comics are the only thing where I don't want to go digital.
I love having a huge physical collection of mangas in my room.
Ah, see, I'm busy constructing more shelves on a constant basis
Hmm, I'm starting to understand this now. Thanks.
