ichthyocentaursOne thing that's cool about being fairly off twitter and also not paying attention to stuff is that there's some kind of discourse about something or other and people I know are on both sides of it and I have no fucking clue what it's about in the slightest and don't want to. Life is cool! I can pretend to live on a houseboat, drifting downriver and whistling my afternoons away.
haha I don't do that though that would be fun. I live in a house, gaming my life away.
etc etc still in lockdown feelings. I've been really tired so that means I'm getting sad late at night and it's like, just go to sleep man. But today while playing FF7 with my sister she told me that something happened to my dad and it only came up because she happened to call him, and it's like, man. I don't want to be the person who gets all personal online for real, but it's weird to be like oh god, I'm getting so old and decrepit what am I doing and then be like OH my parents they are older and even more decrepit. I've been really lucky so far, but man. Along with it suddenly being wtf, august all of a sudden and all I wanna do is like tippy tipey my little fanfics and do crafts and live...
again I'm getting sad late at night lmao. woof. maybe this is the reason to discourse about stupid shit. (no it's not, everyone please stop)
Anyway I've been in a real Tezuka mood and started reading Phoenix and ordered a bunch of stuff that's being released (thanks Kodansha, no thanks to... whoever, is it Vertical?) and it's like, damn, this dude really was king shit. His variety is so beyond: the seriousness, the humor, the darkness, the sudden philosophy, the random depravity and fun of a dude slicing a bunch of wolves in half after they entered the scene in a variety of jokey styles. If I had .0001% of this talent I'd cherish it. Life's unfair!

Date: 2022-08-05 07:06 am (UTC)I definitely recommend giving some of his work a shot! If you like weirdo dark shit I highly recommend MW, it's one of my favorites. If you wanna go more moderate but still adult style, Black Jack, Dororo, or Buddha depending on your tastes are all great imo. there's a lot more of various flavors but I'd say starting with something he's known for is the way to go, cause he has a lot of quirks and highs and lows, but I pretty much like it all to some extent! (I'll count watching it for something lol!)
And I've only read Devilman so I'm a nagai scrub lmao... I should look into some more sometime, cause I really enjoyed it.
