Been reading some old school mangas lately.
Specific, Desert Rose (manga from the late 80s about a merc group of hot babes) and Golgo 13.
Desert Rose is pretty fun and I do enjoy how they thought the world would look like in the "near future" and how terrorism would be fought.
They have an OVA that you can watch on YT (only subs)

Golgo 13 however, is not that fun. Nearly every chapter is the same and Duke Togo does not have much of a personality.
It is interesting to see how he plan the hits and how he does them, but Duke himself?
I never get a feeling that he is in any danger at all.
I get that he is supposed to be "international man of mystery" but his personality is just boring.
Golgo is still worth reading, but don't read many chapters at one, as they start to blend themselves together.

did you expect anything more from isekai?
Presiona para expandir...
The idea of "My useless skill is actually overpowered" is more Light Novel shit than isekai, and the best example for it is Magical Index. With Light Novels, especially ones that take place in the real world, you can understand why young adults would want the appeal of being secret badasses despite being average at best in their class (heck there's entire father-oriented media franchises of that type of being ex Marine/CIA).

With Isekai, secret badass is just overkill in being a pity party despite the main character being sent by god and doesn't need to be in some place where he is constantly compared to his peers.

Well now my second favorite manga, The Bugle Call, is getting an anime. I'm not as confident from the PV as I am for Fool Night, but I think Bugle Boy is harder to adapt as it's creative paneling and 4th wall breaks are what originally sold it to me.

Been re-reading Needless. That manga is pretty amazing when it comes to its action and comedy scenes. One moment a villain gets clowned on by comedic effect and on the next page, gets their head blown off and dies. This just reminded me why a used to love anime/manga so much, just how absurd, goofy, and fucked it all could get on a moments notice.

Damn shame the anime never got a second season.
