Hi guys you have reached the anime watcher of the decade here and now that you are here you will see my anime list which confirms that I am anime watcher of the decade
When an Emishi village is attacked by a fierce demon boar, the young prince Ashitaka puts his life at stake to defend his tribe. With its dying breath, the beast curses the prince's arm, granting him demonic powers while gradually siphoning his life away. Instructed by the village elders to travel westward for a cure, Ashitaka arrives at Tatara, the Iron Town, where he finds himself embroiled in a fierce conflict: Lady Eboshi of Tatara, promoting constant deforestation, stands against Princess San and the sacred spirits of the forest, who are furious at the destruction brought by the humans. As the opposing forces of nature and mankind begin to clash in a desperate struggle for survival, Ashitaka attempts to seek harmony between the two, all the while battling the latent demon inside of him. Princess Mononoke is a tale depicting the connection of technology and nature, while showing the path to harmony that could be achieved by mutual acceptance.
As there are no reviews, allow me to offer more insight on what the Ice Wanderer has to offer.
These are short stories. Some based on a memoir, some from elsewhere. As the title suggests, it uses themes of nature and animals well, as Taniguchi has spent decades being familiar with how to draw and utilise these effectively in his manga. Some stories rely more heavily on these settings.
This book is quite unique, as the driving force behind these stories are, in my opinion, their atmosphere. Instead of stories where there may be lessons to be learned or important revelations to be had, this manga is different as it really just uses the consistently-paced writing and the highly accurate depiction of reality to place you in a world where you will likely appreciate everything it offers, even if after reading a particular story you may feel underwhelmed.
To elaborate, the reason why I gave this manga a 7 is because I felt enticed to keep on reading due to an atmosphere unlike anything else I've read. Also mainly because the presentation is so professionally done by Jiro Taniguchi, who is an expert.
Despite the satisfaction from the tense scenarios that may include life or death moments and the satisfaction of being so easily drawn into a beautifully serene world at times, I can't help but feel underwhelmed by some of the climaxes within some individual stories. Perhaps this is inherently due to these stories being short or my compatibility with these types of stories but still, I only rate it so highly because it is such a nice package that deserved to be finished.
So yes, I believe if you do have an interest in this manga after reading the synopsis, you should begin reading any of the six stories here. Hopefully you will also be inclined to keep reading to the end every time as I did.
Do you honestly think you're fucking funny fucking with my friends? Seriously. You're a fucking ugly little [REDACTED] mate and if I ever see you I'm going to slit your fucking face wide open yeah. You're a fucking angry little fucking [REDACTED]. Ok, right let's first off. Uhh you're 17, so you're not even old enough to play the game. You're from Scotland, not Nigeria aaaand you annoy people and put them on YouTube because you're a [REDACTED], which I totally agree with. So why don't you crawl back up your mum's fanny and die. Right I tell you what you what you fat little [REDACTED]. You're boring, you don't sound Nigerian at all so go fuck yourself. Go and fucking crawl in a dirty dank little hole where you fucking come from you dirty dragon-eating little fucking [REDACTED]. Right, okay, so the dragon comment was probably a little bit fucking over the top, but at the end of the day you're fucking boring. Every single person who watches your videos are fucking stupid, they're fucking ignorant little [REDACTED]. And you're just a fucking [REDACTED].
all those digital games, all that time to play them... yet you still play LEAGUE OF LEGENDS
