I was thinking they could crossover with Rurouni Kenshin, like a time travel story. Or with Ranma, maybe the 80s version. I can see the Turtles or Shreddar assume the Jusenkyo springs are mutagen.
Imagine being chased away by a shoujo because it's too feminine.
I will get it anyways. I actually have Nana which is also Shojo.
Everything fantasy typically comes back to Tolkien in some way, but I think most japanese media creators don't follow him too much, and see Lodoss more as their fantasy brand "root", foundational as you said. I see countries, races, and even symbology from Lodoss that were 100% taken and used in things like Fire Emblem over the years. Dark Souls also took a lot from Lodoss, but I do feel as though FromSoft knows a bit more about Tolkienian Lore than your average japanese consumer.
The creator definitely had a hand in looking it over and at least signed off on it for what it's worth. I have nothing against brotherhood, but it's a little too "clean" for my liking, and the characters have terminal same-face syndrome. Brotherhood's 7 deadly sins shit is also pretty cliché, and Nowhere Near as interesting as the "dead people that alchemists try to resurrect become homunculi" plot from 03. 03 is kindov perfectly edgy, fitting for when it came out. Like Ed literally murdering greed, which he starts to freak out about afterwards because naturally a kid shouldn't have to go through that.
Is Hetalia good? I've been considering watching it because it seems like muh Sharty countrywars/polandball as anime and that's quite amusing to me.
Arakawa approved of the 2003 anime, she's even drawn the 2003-exclusive homunculi a couple times. Anyone who claims she hated it is a bullshitting manga purist.
Even as someone who isn't much of a fan of 2003, it is dumb to say she hates 2003.
April's black again.
April looks like she's related to Tidus from Final Fantasy X
But she's not frumpy and ugly. Immediately leagues better than the previous two black revamps.
Chojin Densetsu is still the best anime take on TMNT. They get time-sensitive transformation powers from a Ferario, and the third chapter of the manga involves Shredder turning the Twin Towers into a superweapon. The turtles even have a gattai in that chapter.Is this where people say "it could have been worse?"
is it just me or do a lot of manga creators get sentenced to jail for tax evasion? Like the writer for Log Horizon was sent to jail too, right? are they just failing to file their taxes?
