I almost forgot the spoiler function lol.

That's a great summary and analysis of "Future" from you. Though I'd say my view is a bit different on it. Since Hi no Tori is heavily influenced by Buddhism, it's apparent that Tezuka's idea of evolution in this chapter is a direct reference to "Agganna Sutta". Phenomena are constantly evolving and arising based on various causes, conditions, and karmas. Time has no beginning or end; the arising, abiding, and perishing of the universe is just a part of a grand cycle. So to speak, how genders appear, how societies develop with different classes of people, how the environment and its beings come to devastation, all of these processes are something inevitable that's neither bad nor good. Everything would meet its demise at some point. The matter is the way we humans, sentient beings, manage to control the chaos so that it wouldn't lead to the downward spiral of our society. Because the faster a process develops, the quicker the destruction comes. Man, cannot envision what it would be like in 2050 lol.

I enjoy "Nostalgia" for the most part, except for the ending, it feels a bit rushed and doesn't leave a sweet aftertaste. The theme of "Space" is quite weak compared to other arcs but the visual storytelling here is probably the best. It utilizes the Manga format to the finest to capture the heavy sense of thrill and horror. A weird comparison but Tezuka did more with his one panel than some manhwas did with an entire chapter rofl.

Your backstory about the attic is rather odd ngl. I haven't yet faced a half-laughing situation like that but there's one time when I accidentally hit my screen and had to spend a fair sum of money to fix it.

Guess we share a similar issue with Dandadan. I think my enjoyment with it will raise a bit if I find a character to attach. And about the Doraemon movie, it's adapted from the Manga but featured a big change, a side character turned into an important one with a big role for the pathos of the movie. I wouldn't say it hit me hard like many of my top series but as a kid show, it obviously did a fantastic job. Not sure if you want to hear the spoiler but the circumstance is pretty similar to Dandadan but it has some foreshadowings and character moments throughout the whole film, so the reveal definitely strikes better.

Clannad is a show that has been on my PTW for quite a long time. I've watched Charlotte and Angel Beats from Jun Maeda but not really invested in, and his Kami-sama ni Natta hi is just awful. Hope Clannad will change my opinion on him.

Any kind of reply is fine with me. Also, the long reply reminds me of old days when people wrote letters and put them on the envelope, waiting for several days to a few weeks in excitement.

It's nice to see you enjoy Hi no Tori thus far. "Future" is one of the greatest stories I've experienced, my second favourite arc in the Manga only after "Resurrection". While the idea and setting don't stand out, its extremely dramatic story, beautiful romantic sub-plot, thought-provoking themes have got me. Let's not forget Tezuka's top-notch illustration and imaginative panelling composition that play a significant role in the visual storytelling. Another thing, as you also stated, is the balance. There're parts with mucho texto but also parts that're pure show-don't-tell, the mood whiplash swings between humor and tragedy, and the story doesn't focus or linger much with any particular character's death to maintain the nuance.

Wow, you did research on Greek myths, that's impressive. I remember reading tons of the lores as a child but I almost forget everything now. I think Greek myths are a great source of inspiration, sadly, as far as I know, not many works incorporate them besides Fate.

Mahoyo is an interesting pick. I still haven't yet played, but I saw a lot of positive feedback about it. If you have time, feel free to check out Tsuki no Sango Manga, it only features 14 chapters and also gets some Hi no Tori vibes: https://myanimelist.net/manga/41957/Tsuki_no_Sango
I guess you have also played Gnosia. What is your thought about the game?

About Dandadan, seems not a show for me. I've nothing against it but at the same time, I didn't find any aspect that engages me. It sure has nice visual, animation, and directing yet the story and characters look like those of typical shounen action & comedy. People have been praising ep 7 but I'm not really moved by it due to the lack of background and attachment. I remember watching one Doraemon movie and it executed a similar trope a dozen times better.
