Book of Human Insects - Osamu Tezuka - 1970 A man flying back home, his thoughts consuming him the whole time What a fun panel. I love it when Tezuka breaks convention like this.

@theironfjord @wil3681 While you are right, it's basically my duty to correct you and say Tezuka was "partially" inspired by Disney, as well as a whole ton of other things. Sorry, but I'm obligated to nitpick that

@JSomeCanadian @wil3681 You can even take it further back with Tezuka being inspired by Walt Disney (Toriyama too)

Finding out Torishima was an Astro Boy fan makes so much sense now.

@tern_inca @wil3681 the answer is probably "probably", but im not a shojo expert. I know enough to know I don't know much

@JSomeCanadian @wil3681 Interested to know if princess knight has played a similar role to shoujo and female mangakas

Man, imagine posting an image of a video game's final boss, and not putting up a spoiler blur to hide it from people just scrolling their feed.... Couldn't be me

So I've finally taken the time to play and beat Metaphor Refantazio. It was good. Some improvements on the Persona formula, some side-grades, and overall a lot to like... but... I gotta be honest, it's length was a bit much. I kind-of hope Persona 6 is like 50 hours and not 100

@G0ffThew So, I'm trying to find a real legit source for that "english voices by literal prisoners of war" thing, and as far as I can tell from some quick googling... that's a theory... Do you have a source for this claim? Let's not spread potential misinformation

Oscillates between teaching kids their ABCs and grooming them to become Kamikaze pilots, and features English voices by literal prisoners of war forced to perform at gunpoint.

Made some good food today. Feels good. Gonna make some more good food tomorrow

@GothHelm @retrosofa At least it kind-of has an ending, if you stop at Volume 3 or whenever the first story arc ended

@JSomeCanadian @retrosofa “Vampire” that will never have an ending…

Sorry, but I can't look at this cover for Osamu Tezuka's Vampire, without my mind going to Animorphs.

With the Star Fox remake, I wonder when we'll get that Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War remake.... any time now... Then again, I'm scared of it making a bunch of changes I won't like. I'd hope a remake would stay faithful to the original.

@tern_inca who the heck is arguing about the authorial intent of Triton of the Sea of all things?

@JSomeCanadian I met someone who argued that this story was made for adult men

Finished reading Osamu Tezuka's Triton of the Sea Honestly, I didn't like it that much. I feel like it's story wasn't well thought-out at times, like Tezuka kept changing his mind with the story's direction. It also felt a bit jarring with it's blend of comedy and serious bits

Star Fox fans getting a surprise announcement of a new game, and seething over the new designs (which I think look perfectly fine, though maybe not the best ever) Meanwhile, an F-Zero fan cries to himself

That feeling when you try to eat something healthier, and buy a less sugar-ey option, and all you can think is "wow, this is bland" will explore ways to improve

So, I'm reading more of Osamu Tezuka's 1969 manga General Onimaru, and later on in the story, he uses purple cloth to disguise himself as "the purple bandit" or something... Is this a reference to something? It feels so deliberate to be a random design

I might need some help. Does anyone know where I can find any footage of the 1976 Japanese NHK show 『Kaname the Wind Child』 助けていただきたいのですが、1976年にNHKで放送された「風の子ケーン」の映像が見られる場所をご存知の方はいらっしゃいますか？

@KettuGames But I still haven't played Verho yet.

Bonehold demo is now released! Hope you all enjoy it! ^^

This is getting way more likes and reposts than I thought it would. Weird

Osamu Tezuka drawing John Wayne for the intro of his 1969 manga General Onimaru This doesn't really matter much. He's just being a movie nerd again.
