en algún rato viste las películas de garfield y sus amigos? la de halloween era la mejor
La única que he visto es Garfield on the Town porque mi hermana la tenía grabada en VHS y la ponia a cada rato, pero eso fue hace tanto que ya apenas me acuerdo.
Me gustaria ver las otras, me gustaba mucho Garfield y sus amigos.
billy bat-usagi yojimbo anon--i went looking for the segment i meant, and it's the short snippet of chapter 68! it makes me curious because i dont know if the timeline lines up with when stan sakai began making usagi yojimbo, but the style seems almost unmistakably a reference to it. i think the "scroll-style" ending narration box is also present in usagi yojimbo. maybe its because this is around the time in the plot that ninja come into play?
Ohh, my bad! These are the pages from chapter 68:
Usagi Yojimbo began way before Billy Bat began, but again I personally don't think it's a reference. It's interesting to analyse though.
A Witch's Life in Mongol (Tenmaku no Jaadugar) is one of my favorite current manga and now it's getting an anime adaptation and official English translation, so I'm using that as an excuse to recommend it to everyone.
It's a historical drama set in 13th Century based on the life of Fatima, Iranian girl who ended up captive in the Mongol Empire and who became the empire's only female minister, and about her relationship with Töregene Khatun, eventual regent and one of the wifes of Genghis Khan's son Ögedei Khan.
Great manga if you like historical fiction focusing on women. You can read fan translations here.
I never though A Witch's Life in Mongol would get licensed nor that it would ever get an anime adaptation yet last year it got licensed in English AND Spanish AND now Science Saru announced that it's doing an anime adaptation, what a beautiful thing to wake up to.
It's a really good manga, I fully recommend it.
They are!! I really like her art work + approach to historical fiction.
I really hope someone translates Kanshin Smbat, I'm really interested on it. It's set in 13th century Armenia which greatly interests me.

different anon from the person who brought up yojimbo - any thoughts on the first two chapters' resemblance to blacksad?
If I'm honest I don't really see it? They're both noirs starring anthro animals but that's where the resemblance ends. I feel like the kinds of elements they have in common -like the protagonist being a jaded detective or investigating a case involving infidelity- are recurring elements across noir works (especially in modern pastiches like these), so they don't feel like significant similarities to me.
Urasawa did mention his influences for the first two chapters in a conversation he had with Hisashi Eguchi and it's probably not what you'd expect
I'm also constantly thinking about this one random blog post I saw years ago about an american tourist whose wife was heartbroken after travelling to Chile and finding out that she couldn't order Chilean sea bass because it's literally not sold here
lol. lmao even.
My parents remember this one incident a lot because it resulted in a lot of shipments of Chilean grapes being thrown to Chilean supermarkets after the US rejected them. It was the first and only time they got to try out Chilean fruit produced for the US market, they were much better and much bigger than the grapes sold here.
For my parents it was pretty significant for how it made them realize the differences between those fruits and the ones we sell within out own country, but I also feel it's pretty telling how there had to be some pretty insane circumstances for the grapes to end up in our own markets to begin with.
