Star Wars: Visions: The Manga Anthology, the review.

By @twwk

Snippet: "For all the missteps in Disney’s approach to Star Wars since purchasing the IP from George Lucas, there’s one aspect to the business they’ve gotten right: the manga adaptations. Heavily influenced by Japanese culture and film, Star Wars is a property that fits like a (black, L-hand 980 prosthetic covering) glove in the anime and manga world..."

So @Kitty's Tune Tuesday has a theme of "My Generation Music" from @The_KamikaZEN

Since I (@mdmrn) feel like jumping in...but we're posting from the Beneath the Tangles account, let's go with a song from the year BTT was born: 2010.

2010 gave us the music heavy Angel Beats.

Here's "Crow Song," originally from the anime, sung by LiSA https://songwhip.com/lisa/crow-song-2015%E6%AD%A6%E9%81%93%E9%A4%A8-live-chocolate-ver

Okay, so it's Throwback Thursday and I went DIGGING into the Beneath the Tangles archives to find something older and unexpected.

Boy did it not disappoint.

Here's a post from 2011 where @twwk connected George Strait lyrics to anime in honor of his, then 59th birthday.

It's May 1st which means it's...MerMay! The first thing that comes to mind for @KhakiBlueSocks is the shoujo series, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch.

For me, it's the 1975 adaptation of The Little Mermaid!

Are there any other mermaid-focuses series / movies, or anime episodes that focus on mermaids you can think of?

Let us know in the comments!

Manga Review: Bocchi the Rock Vols 1-2, Team Edition

The average anime cour adapts 4-6 volumes of manga; Bocchi the Rock adapts 1.5. Yes, you read that right, one and a half volumes ONLY! Clearly, something unusual is going on with this 4-koma manga.

First Impression: Mission: Yozakura Family

Life has been prodigiously hard for Taiyo Asano. Having lost his entire family to a tragic car accident, he lives his life of self-imposed isolation, refusing to connect with others. The only person he allows into his inner circle is his childhood friend Mutsumi Yozakura. One day, while the two are eating lunch, the school's vice principal requests to see Taiyo after school.
