A strange inclusion but I'm not totally against it

Up's first 15 minutes is like A+.

After that...eh, it's an acceptable buddy comedy.

Ah, Glass Mask. I read that quite recently. It's amazing, I was very disappointed that it was unfinished. It seemed so close to the end too, but at least that wasn't that much left hanging.

I know, right? I thought it was just a typical shoujo manga (the gigantic eyes and antiquated art style are very oft-parodied), but surprisingly it's got excellent shonen-ish drama too of the acting world too. My favorite arc was the Two Princesses one and I'm so glad we got to see the whole play.

Good point about that it's close to the end. It basically just needs to a closure with the Crimson Goddess stuff and Maya's relationship and that's it. Possibly only one volume worth of stuff...

Mr Crispy posted...
I recently saw a character in a series say that she secretly learned forbidden magic to resurrect the dead specifically because Glass Mask was her favorite series, and refuses to accept the idea of the author dying before it's completed. >_>

:((
Yeah, it's terrifyingly likely since she's not exactly young...

I haven't really read Berserk yet, but man I share that feeling of not knowing whether or not the manga will ever end, since I'm a fan of Glass Mask. It started in 1975 and now the magazine it had been serialized in was cancelled... >_>
The author says she still plans to finish it up but...yeah.

Oh, wait, yes I can.

Pluto
Manga Series

Technically this should be under the Fanfiction category. Naoki Urasawa, almost certainly the greatest manga author of all time, decided to adapt his favorite Astro Boy story into something entirely different and unique, and because he's a genius of course it turned out amazing. Pluto combines sci-fi with a hard-boiled detective story, starring a robot investigating the deaths of some of the most famous robots in the world. I'm a sucker for stories about sentient AI discovering themselves, and what it means to be truly alive, so this story was right up my alley. Pluto explores the weight of a life, and what it means for others when that life is taken. Every character is written with depth and feels like a real person (or robot) despite the limited screentime each of them get. SImply put, Pluto is really, really well-done and I love pretty much every moment in the manga. And I knew absolutely nothing about Astro Boy going in!

It's hard to describe what makes an Urasawa story so good, because his greatest strengths lie in how everything is executed. Pluto's sense of pacing and the way each scene is framed, even for the simplest moments, is perfect. It can sound pretentious to describe a piece of fiction as 'intelligent', but that's exactly what Urasawa's works are. They never talk down to you or force the story on you, giving you enough material to come to your own conclusions while simultaneously tugging at your heartstrings. By the end of Pluto, you're left tired but satisfied, confident that the story ended exactly when and where it should. I cannot recommend it enough to people who...well, like good stories.

Yes!

I agree wholeheartedly. It's just kind of a shame that Pluto is rather underappreciated compared to his other works since I think it might just be my personal favorite.

It's crazy how well it explored the themes of AI and sentience. And its powerful moments made me cry.

Also it's fun comparing the original designs and Urasawa's take on them.

There are still a few great side quests you should consider tackling before you end the game. There arent many quests in Fallout 4 at all compared to the other games and fewer really good ones but there are a few. Like Vault 81, and Covenant.

I went to Vault 81 and discovered the Vault 82 thing, it was bonkers. And Curie is just the sweetest. I can listen to that French accent all day. She's my current traveling companion.

Other than that I haven't played much though. I guess I did return the cat.

PerfectChaosZ posted...

Did you get Vergils cure? And find out what happens to the humans the Institute replaces.

I don't know/remember what that is. And the second one...not yet, now that I think about it.
