about me

Welcome, my fellow Anime Planetarian'! I am an avid reader of many different storytelling forms. In my opinion, the art of storytelling may traverse through any style the author wishes to use. Be it literature, or illustrated pieces, as long as the story is "good," I will support it.

Now, what makes a story "good?" A personal opinion? Perhaps. But for me, the key ingredient in making a good story is consistency. If a story is consistent, the author may write about whatever they please. What does it mean for a stroy to be consistent? The art of storytelling comprises of several technical aspects: Character scheme, character development and interaction, plot progression, and world building. There are other aspects one may account for in writing a good story, but these are the most important to me. A story, no matter how ridiculous, must be consistent in all of these aspects. If a story has, for example, developed a character to a specific degree, then decides to contradict that character's development, the story is faulty. The author must ALWAYS take mind in what they are writing. All of my ratings will be guided by strict analyzation of the title. If I happen to give a title a low rating, it does not mean I didn't enjoy it. A low rating simply means it is technically inconsistent. However, I often have trouble enjoying titles that give me such a displeasure.

Lastly, feel free to greet me with any topic you would enjoy discussing. And remember, the theme of a story is not to be judged, for the judgment is only your personal opinion. If one is going to critique a story, do so by the consistency and skill of the author.

I liked the fact that Migi is dormant but still a part of the kid. I also enjoyed the fact that he had nothing else to learn so he went dormant. In the end, they really had a friendly bond. Who woulda figured?

Gah, magi is on my list, as i once said, but nowhere near a priority. Gintama is nothing but slapstick comedy as well (shudders*), but hey, to each their own.  Surprised you decided to tackle 4 long ass series though. Quick the time consumption between them. Plus Magi has an anime out. Plan on watching that?

Quite empty. Zero squads designs are pretty badass but i almost feel like they should look a little more war hardened.  But i read somewhere....zero squad members: "a housewife, a yankee, a monk, a nadeshiko and american?" ahahaha. How's that for originality. Though i'm not complaining, I rather like the design. For the record, i also like Kubo's character design. They have that sharpness to em, really makes the females female.  Though, I doesn't top OP.  As for Naruto, can't wait for shit to go down either.

Well i have not read Toriko/FT in like 3 weeks. Will now because that's one hell of a break. Month and a half? Damn. Have not really read much besides the big 3 in past month. In one them ruts. I have plenty on my plate though, just nothing seems interesting.

Looked at the feed by chance and saw you finished Parasyte? Well, how was it? Pretty steller if i may say so myself. You've been read though shit. Don't know how you read so many different things each day though.

WOuld comment on Bleach/Naruto but there is not shit to say. Zero squad looks pretty cool. Ten tails fight should be good.

Damn, thought you would be further in Berserk.  Either way, let me put it to you this way. If you catch up, we can talk about it and you'll be caught up. Shits awesome now. Downside is the wait. Back in march, like 3-4 chapters came out that had minimal impact on the story. In June, there was a 3 chapter through back on Gut's childhood.  Within a month, we just got 2 chapters, one advanced the story with guts, and the latest had nothing to do with Guts.  At the end of the chapter, we got the "til' next time", so the next chapter might be in March.  It's a hard wait but you have to catch up sometime.  The story is definitely worth the wait.

Also, a volume of Dorohedoro came out, which comes out once a year.  The art and story are pretty unique so that's something you could read.

OP- Pretty touching what Mocha did.  This was a nice chapter.  Luffy seems pretty pissed, so the upcoming fights going to be awesome. Seriously though, another break, damn.  Wonder why Oda has taken so many breaks these past months?  Always right after it's about to get amazing. Well whatever, can't complain.

Bleach- What a bunch of fucking bullshit. Wow, Kubo is a pussy for not killing Byakuya.  All that bullshit last words and death scenes and he's going to survive? The most dissappointing part yet in this otherwise awesome arc.  Seriously lame. Bunch of bickering and melodrama over the captain and Ichigo being Ichigo. I guess we will now see Byakuya being pushed around in a wheel chair all depressed from now on.

Naruto- I don't know why the hell Kakashi is trying to reason with Obito.  Either way, not much but Naruto taking the scene.

OP- I only read from Mangastream and try to keep it on Wednesdays.  I'd have nothing to look forward to otherwise.  As for this chapter, fucking great.  Seriously entertaining to know that Zoro does have that side to him.  It was also thrilling to see Tashigi think, "Where have you been....to become such beasts".  It really gives you a sense at how strong Zoro has become, since it's coming from someone who witnessed his power before the time skip.  He is seriously strong.  Didn't even care to fight her, because, like you said, she was that much weaker than him.  This is why i love OP.  But i doubt there is Conqueror Haki involved.  It would be a stretch if Oda bestowed that one in a million gift upon him.  Plus, i feel it would make it seem less special, since 2 people in the same crew have it.  I'm going with the fact that Monet was just that much weaker and the thought of him actually killing her froze her in fear.  He just has an oppressive fighting aura and she was intimidated by it, but doesn't necessarily mean he has Conqueror Haki. From what we've seen of that Haki before, the weaker opponents are knocked out.  If they are strong enough, then it does nothing.  Monet was just afraid of the beast.

Bleach- I just can't help but not care about bleach when OP was amazing.  But, Bach being his dad is ehh kinda lame.  I see people saying that maybe he's just a grandfather or something.  Another thing i don't care about is this family revelation.  Though, you're right about Ichigo going through another power up.  I just can't believe how strong H WAld was.  He alone is stronger than fucking aizen, what the hell.  But another power up here we come.  maybe we will get to see Zangetsu because he is just fucking badass.  One of my favorites in the Bleach world.  He has such awesome theme music.  Quincy Zangetsu.  Ahahahaha can't wait.  Hope we get an Ishin backstory or something.  I have a feeling/hope this will be awesome.
