Manga Review – King of Thorn, Volume 2.
(Originally Published on Goodreads)
King of Thorn, Volume 2 by Yuji Iwahara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This volume is causing the series to risk becoming cluttered, from a plot standpoint. Coming into this volume, the plot had the main driving conflict of “How do these characters, which are almost all infected with a disease that could kill them, survive in this post-apocalyptic world with massive thorny plants that have consumed everything, and freaking dinosaurs?” Read more
Movie Review – Sword of the Beast
This week I’m reviewing another film in the Criterion Collection – the samurai film “Sword of the Beast”.
To Terra…/Towards The Terra, Volume 1 Review
To Terra…Volume 1 by Keiko Takemiya
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a kind of slow-paced manga. This volume does a lot of world-building with regards to Terran society and Mu society, as well as our two leads views of their respective societies, Jomy Marcus Shin for the Mu, and Keith Anyan for the Terrans. (Cont. below the Cut) Read more
