I have been a huge fan of anime for much of my life. I have seen many good anime, many bad anime, and many in between. I also enjoy reading a lot, thus the username.

I am doing well lastly. Thanks. Nice book "Ivanhoe". The Shadow of the Wind! i dont know, Is the spanish one?
I am reading know Shahnameh by Ferdowsi. Pretty good, i need to read also the "Avesta" for complementation.
You'll be pleased to know this, the Canadian government is forcing Air Canada employees to go back to work and curtailing their right to strike.
The Conservative movement of this country is supporting public employees right to strike as a way to own Carney. Because the Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects collective bargaining rights.
This is actually a rare Carney Liberal win. Air Canada should be privatized, and as long as it stays a government run institution, nobody who works there should get the right to strike. Fuck the Charter.
People who work at substandard, government run airlines shouldn't have striking rights if the service is poor and the employees are paid through money that was extorted to pay flight attendants.
I never thought I'd see the day where the far left public union workers at CUPE and Tories would be fighting on the same side to own the libs. Fuck this.

>It is a brothel located in Mangaluru, India.[1] The brothel is heavily patrolled by armed guards and dogs. The customers of the brothel seem to all be big-shot Zeon officials and are called "lovers" instead of "customers".[1]
Instagram memes of Griffith set to Playboy Carti were what got me back into Berserk after "catching up" in 2015 to the latest Dark Horse volume at the time (337 iirc?). Truthfully, I really wanna go back to basics with Berserk; I found a half-finished manga review in my Google drive from 2015, that got me wondering if my opinions from 10 years ago still hold up, but like... I am not ready to deal with the peaks and the valleys of post-GAA Berserk. As I recall, it was Black Swordsman = mid, flawed starting point with unanswered implications; GAA = peak, kino, 10/10; Lost Children = what the shit am I reading?; Tower of Conviction = KILL THE HEATHENS, KILL THE HERETICS, OBEY THE COMMAND OF FATHER MOZGUS... oh and Griffith returns too JFYI; Falcon of the Millennium Empire = GAA Redux, but this time I'm way more invested in Ganishka's mad quest to kill Griffith than I am with Guts struggling against his Beast of Darkness... oh and there's some magic power-ups too, I guess; Falconia = Griffith's kingdom is made manifest, HOLY FUCK RICKERT SMACKED GRIFFITH YES YES YES, wait, why the fuck are Guts and the gang stuck on a boat for 10 years?; hiatus, Miura-san's eventual return, dude dies prematurely. 97 series edges out in terms of OST for me. It's basically Hellsing 2001 for me - repugnant animation, flawed to shit adaptation, absolutely impeccable and unmatched OST that later adaptations can't come close to matching. Having said that... I'd appreciate a 97 Berserk soundscape while combing through the manga if I ever revisit it.
I would really recommend I Hate Fairyland, as it is short, self-contained and gorgeous. The original run was 20 issues, 4 volumes, but due to popular demand the series was restarted in a sequel with an older version of the protagonist (who isn't canonically older - it's complicated). It stars the foul-mouthed legal loli Gertrude and her tired, sarcastic, cigar-chewing sidekick/guide Larry. It's basically a fairy tale Isekai, where the main character starts off as a 7 year old kid but is so incompetent (worse than Roronoa Zoro at navigation) that she still hasn't found her way back home after 30 years of roaming. In that time, she has grown jaded and tired of the world but hasn't aged physically. While I am a bit tired of vulgar, subversive deconstructions of child-friendly properties at this point (for instance, pretty much all adult cartoons at this point are based off of the idea of "look at these cute cartoon characters doing adult things! Isn't this shocking?"), IHF is probably this concept done best, where the humor all comes down to this asshole protagonist that looks like a cute little girl interacting with cute fairy creatures and either shocking them or brutally butchering them. While the writing may not be on the level of Watchmen and the characters aren't exactly likeable, the art style is amongst the very best I've ever seen and the story of her trying to get back into the real world is addictive.
Image is a company that I really respect. Not only does it have great titles, but it was formed based on Todd MacFarlane's vision of creator-owned IPs, like it is done with manga, and in opposition to Marvel and DC, which keep their artists broke by giving them no ownership of their own ideas. Btw, two Image properties have been adapted in Japan. One is Spawn, whose obscure manga I already reviewed, and the other is Witchblade, which got both a manga and an anime.
