Happy birthday

>Whiplash is in my top 5 favourite movies for sure.
Whiplash is a movie that I re-watched the most in my life. From 2016 until 2022 I've watched it over 7 times because each year I always re-watch Whiplash. For this year 2023 at sometime I'm sure I will revisit Whiplash again.

> Out of curiosity, have you seen Black Swan?
I've seen Black Swan a long time ago and I don't really have a fond memories with it but I'm positive it ripped off Perfect Blue.

>Have you watched many Japanese or asian cinema?
Not much actually. I rarely consume stuff like movie or anime etc. The last Asian movie I've watched is Happy Together by Wong Kar-wai and it was on this January.

What makes you think Love Exposure as fantastic?

Yeah, I wish some Japanese studio adapted this but that's seems almost impossible. I'll give it a try anyway, atleast the music sounds good.

Currently I'm only reading a book called East of Eden by John Steinbeck and I'm really enjoying it so far. It's pretty popular so you might be familiar with it. I'm currently in the midst of an exam so will continue anime and manga only after it.

What do you think about this?

I've actually seen some clips of that movie in YouTube. Since it's only two movies, I'll check it out.

Lu Bu is my second favourite character in RoT. Cao Cao's campaign against Xuzhou arc was probably my most favourite story arc. I liked it even more than the Red Cliffs one. Especially that scene with Lu Bu and his daughter, I almost cried during that scene 🥲. Now that I think about it, almost every single major character will die in RoT, it's gonna be really rough from here on.

You haven't been reading manga for almost 2 years now. Is there any particular reason for it or you just don't update the lists?

Lol you read my mind. Reading Romance of Three Kingdoms was like reading a history book. But still, it's a pretty good read for something written 800 years ago I guess.

The TV show is 45 mins long with 95 episodes. I don't think I'll have enough motivation to watch it, or atleast for now 😅

Btw who is your favourite character from RoT?

Mine would be Zhou Yu in the case of the original Novel and Zhao Zilong in RoT. I also like Cao Cao more in RoT since he was portrayed as a morally grey character rather than being straight up evil.

Takes one to know one.
I think that's how the saying goes.

I've read the original Three Kingdoms Novel. Other than that, I've never consumed any media related to Three Kingdoms. I know that sounds weird since it's really popular with tons of games, movies etc and I've seen atleast 5 mangas on MAL solely related to 3K period. Although I had some issues with the original Novel, overall I kinda liked it and when I learned about RoT I checked it out too. Turns out I liked RoT a lot more than the original Novel.

Song of the Long March has been on my PTR for quite some time but since it's on a hiatus, I am kinda hesitant to read it. I really hope the mangaka come back soon. I've heard lots of good comments about Liar Game though. Will check it out.

Thanks ^_^ , I wish it was more popular
But I've only scratched the surface of this medium it seems, do you know any good manga similar to Kingdom and ROT?

I most definitely am

Hyouge Mono is well... A really nice kind of niche thing. You see, it's about samurais, right? Catch is, it's mostly about the tea ceremonies they do. It's a one of a kind topic, and it's explored relatively well.

It's also suprisingly heartfelt and funny (much like KKOW), Furude is a really good character and so are the other cast of goobers that are around him (Rikyu is a personal favorite of mine if I had to remplace Furude). If I'm being honest here, chapters 95-100 were honestly some of the best that I've read around for a while, and instead for just simply going through the simple "war and stuff is happening! give em' some gore and a nice art and we got a good manga" route, what they do (which I won't spoil because that shit got me crying for hours) is absolutely damn well executed, and even while being on the borderline of crying, it still got me a nice smile, which shows how good Hyouge Mono is at it's writing.

And on the core, it has a simple message. Be true to yourself. Despite being a historical manga with a niche premise that most people will find boring, the message that it delivers is so simple even the exact same people that would find it boring can understand what Hyouge Mono is about. And I love it for what it is, just a simple manga about a man that loves tea.

all the power to kyou kara fans

Ugh YES!! Im also a fan of historical anime.. let me know if ya like it (＾∇＾)
