Oishinbo

I really liked Oishinbo, food manga is always fun and interesting to read. Oishinbo was especially cool because it really teaches you techniques and recipes in a fun way. I really enjoy how Oishinbo explores important things around food as well, such as the importance of the plates in Japanese cuisine, and the long process of making chopsticks.

Oishinbo even got me wanting to make some miso soup, I probably did a lot of things wrong but it was quite fun. I was running low on tofu so used tofu puffs, and the dashi was just kombu dashi with daikon to keep it vegan.

The influence of Manga and Anime in the West

First off I'm a salmon avocado roll. 1. I really liked this story. I think its length was perfect, overall though I found it somewhat sad. Maybe it was because of how it was drawn, or because there for most of the story nothing good really happened I just found the whole thing somewhat depressing. This could also be because I'm ending my college time, I'm actually going to become a real adult that this story spoke to me. How you can't be a kid forever but also that you can. I don't totally know but I did really enjoy reading it. 2. I was definitely able to connect to the general theme of growing up that I found in the story. As artists, I feel like we walk a fine edge between adulthood and childhood all the best stories and imaginative ideas I think come from a place in our heads that we've always had but was most active during the younger years. I also related to how Ildeung experience with grades and expectations, though I never have been as intense as stu...

Week Three: Gekiga

I haven't read much Gekiga except for maybe Lupin III. I really like this style it's open and raw however melodramatic and fun. Cigarette girl is one of my favorite things I've ever read its funny but relatable and doesn't have as of putting charters as something like Golgo 13 though I do enjoy that type of story quite a bit. Cigarette Girl brought something to manga that I haven't personally experienced before and will be looking forward to explore more with further reading.

Isekai

I have watched quite a few Isekai over the years starting of course with Inuyasha then going on to see Re: Zero, Sword Art Online, and Log Horizon. I never looked at That Time I Reincarnated as a Slime before though, I really like how Slime has evolved on some of the cliches of Isekai. How they didn't just transport into another realm but also changed races, also how it feels very video game-like, however, isn't an actual video game. I do wish some of the characters were a little bit deeper but I guess for this type of show that's not really what it's going for, also I could do with less fan fair but again this is a cliche for Isekai. Overall it's fun and I plan on continuing to view it.
