Happy birthday! 🥳

I'm just wanna tell you that your Airmaster review was the funniest shit i saw on this website until now, thanks for making me laugh and opening my eyes to peak.

Great to know you are doing well my fellow comrade! Any shows you are watching?

I wish you a Happy Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Anime is boring, tell me about life. How is it going mate?

Thank you posting that video.

Humorous School Days review 🤣

I'm sorry to say that I haven't considered that view at all, but don't massive corporations do stuff with impunity in countries like the USA? I'll look up this guy.

I am impressed, especially with the last two episodes I watched and especially with episode 16, it's been probably the best episode so far. It was Kei's episode, explaining her backstory, putting her in a dangerous situation and resolving the conflict very elonquently in the span of ~20 or so minutes. While I can't say I've been especially impressed by the animation, there has been some series of shots that definitely leave an impression, such as when her former fiance wa about to walk her towards her old home. His presence obscures the camera, for a moment dominating everything on the screen, a very solid 3D effect. The ending is masterful, with Kei hesitating but only for a moment before she shoots to kill her villanous former lover who betrayed her and her family. Playing the role of her mother, she pleads Harlock to listen to the end of the music she played with her mother's shamisen. At the sunset, Arcadia flows nearby...

Of course, the animation has become dated and a lot of the heavy lifting is done by the great pacing set by the writing and the cinematography, compounded with the score. But the actual designs of the characters and world are very good, sort of reminds me of a retrofuturism of the 20s, especially the city landscape looked a bit like that German film "Metropolis". It's good to see that not everything was influenced by Star Wars.

Also, their dystopian future is definitely one of the more appealing ones. And realistic. We are heading to a somewhat similar future, but it seems like all of these sci-fi thought that the state would be the one controlling people's lives, when it's going to be massive corporations. The state can always be accounted for, corporations... not so much.

Thansk!!

Happy birthday! :D

Man, so many people get sick this time of year, it seems. I'm also ill and so are a bunch of people I know.

Bulgaria is, unfortunately, a country that has completely allowed itself to be at the mercy of greater powers since the end of the communist era. Or rather, since its beginning. While it can't be said that Bulgaria is as degenerate as the West in every aspect, it is heading towards that way, especially in the capital - where all degeneracy originates, actually. I personally know a transgender person, although I wish I didn't. He has a lesbian boyfriend bodybuilder.

I'm thinking of re-watching all of Hokuto no Ken. It's going to be quite the undertaking, though. There's still so many awesome stuff from the 80s and 90s I haven't watched. It's shameful, since I've been watching anime from the 2000s, but the number of anime I've watched is so low.

Pleven, it was once an important city for Bulgarian-Russian relations. A Japanese officer, Seigo Yamazawa, took part in the siege of Pleven/Plevna during the Russo-Turkish war 1877-1878.

Yeah, Hokuto no Ken is awesome, I watched it last time around 2014.

I'm Bulgarian. I've seen HnK years ago, I'm going to watch it again.

Please, don't say that, the actual narrative is tightly woven, without any loose ends, really.

Interviewer: And with the introduction of magic, Schierke also joined the group.

Miura: Schierke's appearance is partly because of Isidro showing up, but there's a second-generation aspect, like with Fist of the North Star's Bat and Lin. So if nature takes its course, won't she and Isidro end up as a couple? Schierke is drawn next to Guts, but next to the girl longing for an adult man is the boy who does his best as he steadily grows up. I have a feeling that's things as they should be [laugh].

This is from Berserk Official Guidebook Interview (2017), the sub-section is Guts Goes Up a Level with the Berserker Armor. I'm pretty sure this is where I made the connection, since I can't find anything else.

The story is rather open, I doubt it would have ended at 400 chapters, but by 364 I think the course was rather clear after Casca was healed. It would have been Guts' ultimate goal to stop Griffith. Not to take revenge upon, but end his ploy to subjugate all of humanity. No doubt there would have been prolonged side-quests, had Miura lived on, though...

Also, thank you for reading my ramblings.

tl;dr

magic system is kind of dumb, Schierke is too stupid, I hate that she's important, Christianity-stand-in for evil organised religion = dumb and insensetive
