With that said, Happy belated Thanksgiving milady! :)

Aside from getting to Silent Möbius QD, I've been replaying Wild Arms 2 in its original language so I can pick up more Japanese vocabulary.

So yeah, Silent Möbius is definitely the best 80s manga ever and Kia Asamiya is underrated.

Today's manga are written by dweebs in their 30s, but still lack talent. Besides, I don't get millennial writing which is one of the problems I've ever seen in more recent games.

Those borderline middle-aged dweebs try to be entertain teenagers with some juvenile, crass humor, but it always comes out sounding so lame. Their punchlines never land in the most timely way before someone is like "So what?!". Always rough, aimless, delayed and edgy.

I just don't see my demographic cohort introducing a new kind of entertainment after all this time. My demographic cohort isn't necessarily that talented, but neither is that Tatsuya Endou guy whose manga has been boring to me after all this time.

I just see him writing Spy X Family for acceptance from teenage dweebs. Full-fledged adults reading this hot garbage instead of reading better manga is even bigger facepalm inducing stupidity.

I read several chapters of that stupid manga and dropped it. Nothing but cringey, middle-aged, otaku writing. Besides, I don't get family life.

Some dweeb from Japan dropped Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin which I rather read over anything family life, romantic comedy, isekai or battle shounen any day.

By the way Megane, I'm finally rereading Silent Möbius. Watching women exorcising demons from another universe and I can't wait to get to the the chapter finale that I couldn't understand all those years ago.

I'll also read Pluto some time which got an adaptation recently.

You're welcome Megane! :) Summer and Year of the Rabbit has been kind of exciting. I've been fortunate enough to memorize ~380 Chinese characters so far. 1,945 would be needed to master Japanese which is weird sometimes. 3,000 for Mandarin and Cantonese.

As for Instant Japanese, I really enjoyed reading that book and its author Mr. Boyé de Mente is old enough to be my granddad. Did a great job giving some random, but interesting history lessons about Japan. About kanji, the Tokugawa Shogunate, Hepburn, etc.

Glad to hear that you had some awesome outdoor adventures this month. In Year of the Rabbit also and I plan on watching more EVA Rebuild movies later. Nobody loves them as much as the hit series, but they sure make good last resort anime.
