no offense to anyone personally but I think we are way too used to and comfortable with weekly releases and if that wasn’t already bad enough, it seems like most of you aren’t even patient enough to wait for the official release date my point is this industry moves way too quickly
The way that people treat with the medium of manga is interesting and sad because a lot of mangaka are disabled and becoming disabled because of the intense workload. The grace extended to legendary author-artists like Togashi should be how all these artists are treated, and more. Your favorite artists are destroying themselves to create the pages you consume and make judgments on and they deserve to take the time their bodies need to recover from these efforts. The weekly release schedule is literally hurting artists.
What’s worse is how they’re expected to do extra work unpaid like exclusive bonus illustrations for retailers and are expected to pay for assistants themselves. Licensing deals with adaptions are fucked up Gureishi is not the only one who has said an anime adaption did nothing for them financially Hideaki Sorachi of Gintama fame has also been open about how little money he has made from the hugely successful Gintama live action projects. Its so fucked up out there for them with no safeguards when their health fails them aside from living off of royalties, and this is an “improvement” from when publishers were fully okay roping manga artists into doing more than one serial at a time or lock them up in hotels with no sleep until they completed their manuscripts
Ruby Bridges is 68. This is not ancient history. Not even close.
I know Ruby. She's a really nice person. The idea that they would try and write what she did as a girl out of history is shocking to me on so many levels, the simplest of which is just, but don't they know how lovely she is?
Putotyra represents survival/self-preservation. Think about it, every time the purple medals activate, it’s because Eiji’s life is in imminent danger, but his conscious mind is so used to pushing aside his own needs in favor of helping others that he’ll just keep going even when his body physically can’t. The medals cause Eiji’s brain to nerf higher functions like rational thought and speech and just go into pure survival mode, so Eiji is essentially dissociating whenever he transforms into Putotyra, which is why he can’t remember anything he does as the rampaging murder dino. Also, Ankh is the Greeed of life, right? So dinos being the ancestors of birds represent a more primal version of that desire, which is simply staying alive. Or maybe it’s not really a desire at all, just a human instinct that bulldozes everything else including the concept of wanting things, which freaks the Greeed out because it goes against the very essence of their existence. Putotyra will violently attack any and all perceived threats to itself. Putotyra, simply put, exists to stop Eiji’s depression from becoming a threat to his life.
Or Idk, maybe they just wanted a cool metal dino
Wait wait wait wait hear me out.
The purple medals were divided between Dr. Maki and Eiji. And you’re right about them basically being Eiji’s preservation instinct. But what about Maki? Maki… HAS no self preservation instinct. The purple medals don’t just represent the will to survive. They represent the LACK of will to survive.
