So I Started Watching Slam Dunk...

So I recently started Slam Dunk (I know crazy right?) and from just watching 3 episodes, I can see some differences it has from other shows. Good differences. Even small stuff like when the Main Character, Sakuragi Hanamichi, got yelled at by his crush and attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the roof of the school.

I thought that was funny and it was probably meant for comedy. I just don't see stuff like that in today's anime (maybe I'm not looking hard enough idk) but I know that wouldn't go with how society is today being all sensitive. No offense. 😉

Back on topic I love the scene where the Sakuragi was taking deep breaths and that's all you could hear.

No music or crowd cheering, nothing. AND I LOVED THAT! Being such an old anime I'm surprised I've never seen that before in anime I've watched. Again it's just the small things I notice that makes me enjoy the show even more and where I can see the originality in the show as well.

Of course I have to sit through some average shonen tropes and an old bad quality show (it's a 90's show so it can't be helped) but I'm enjoying the show so far. From the looks of it, I'm barely even scratching the surface with how many more episodes it has. Looking forward to watching more of it!

Spy x Family's Tatsuya Endo & Shihei Lin Interview

It was about 13 years ago that Mr. Endo, who started drawing manga at a young age, met his current editor, Mr. Lin. SPY×FAMILY is the third series they've worked on together, and it's now an extremely popular series that has sold over 8 million copies through six volumes. In this interview, we'll be talking to the two members of this tag team. --- Endo's serialization debut was in "JUMP SQ." How did the two of you first meet? Tatsuya Endo : "I met Mr. Lin at the start of "TISTA" (his serial debut work from 2007). I submitted my first work to Jump magazine when I was in my first year of high school and later did in my second year. So Mr. Lin is the third person I've met since then. He was the first person younger than me, and when I first met him, I thought I was getting a light-hearted person (laughs). "TISTA" was set in New York, so we took a trip to NYC for an interview. Mr. Lin had just started his career, so it was like a tr...
