I like over the top, pulpy kind of stuff, Shonen, Superhero comics, wrestling
I don't especially like Shonen at this point. Too formulaic. There's a few works I really got into for their symbolic value but that's about it
there's an advantage to WWE over Hollywood too the McMahons are big Trump people so you don't get SJW shit so much in WWE
I enjoy either stuff that fucks around with a concept or explores an idea
the women there earn their shit
I like the formulaicness of Shonen sometimes you just want to watch guys punch each other really hard while screaming over loud music
that is exactly why i don't like anime/manga
Like Inuyashiki is about the realities of nigh unlimited power (not unlike Watchmen)
Dungeon Meshi takes your typical dungeon crawl and makes it about cooking and the environment
although it seems a lot of would be mangakas just write light novels now
Vinland Saga goes through its shonen phase and then makes the main character deal with the consequences later
I like Maoyu and Log Horizon for their takes on their respective worlds
is Vinland worth checking out? I was having a look at the season yesterday and noticed that one
I don't know about the anime. It's still at the slow bit
The manga is great
Good art, good writing, author is a huge nerd for viking shit
I tend to check ANN every couple months skim through and see what sounds interesting dl a few eps to see if it hooks me
sometimes I find some real gems like BNHA
like Norse?
Yeah
my favorite mythos!
maybe I'll let the anime gather some episodes and check it out later in the year
But that's a ways ofd
Off*
oh Vikings
there's a show I'm looking forward to
Every character is based on a real historical figure
ironic, that north European fictional history is being written by japanese
Or mostly at least
Oh there's another good one about European history
Can't remember what it's called but it's about a fort at a border crossing, and how many people try and fail to get past it alive essentially
hmm late this year so more waiting
oh El Paso
It's really rough to read through though
Wolfsmund
Found it
build that wall?
So basically it's always about someone who tries to sneak or force their way past, at least as far as I had read
God damn, fuckin weeb central in here!
And it's rare that anyone lives. They're usually brutally killed in the attempt or executed after
@tomhastherage don't look at me
Lol
