Thanks for finishing this off, it was an interesting ride. Solving things via thinking around the box but with zero clean conclusions doesn't seem that bad a way to finish it, and I'm reminded of what Yang said in LOGH as a counter to what Miku said here, along the lines of "I can't secure an...

I'm not going to call this ending a perfect masterpiece or anything but as a counterpoint to some comments, one thing I'm pretty satisfied with throughout this series and has stayed true through the end is how appropriately "Not Human" the Idaten act mentally. In the vast majority of series gods...

Worth considering as well: at least with the limited information we have, Saya doesn't need to have any malicious intent at all. The kind of super advanced technology needed to create something like her in the first place seems like it'd make it pretty trivial by comparison to have some sort of...

Thanks so much to Oddity for bringing this to us. sometime has managed to develop quite a unique art style and take on various settings. It's a pity that it hasn't quite gelled into a full series since Hero and Former General, but they're still good yarns. And while clearly hurried along this...

She's a goddess for reason, now this is a shark manga!

Conversely though, it's also a big weakness for Yang. Part of what continues to make LOGH so special even over 40 years (!!) later is how it pulls no punches in its observation of humanity. Yang sticking so strictly to his ideals and refusing the path of melding with politics is on one side...

Although it's interesting you write that, because isn't that literally what Diana is arguing for and Natori going with this very chapter? I don't know for sure if the author is doing a purposeful light/dark contrast of the same concept here, but it's neat either way and the sort of refreshing...

In all seriousness it's more than that though right? As we saw during the childification a few chapters back and throughout the series, Fujiyama is herself pretty genuinely innocent at heart. She's managed to get some bits of adult perspective sure, but she's also completely genuinely into...

Interesting to see the some binary reactions as I reflect upon my own thoughts on it and the nature of audiences more generally. I think I'd call Monster #8 "A pretty vanilla, by the numbers classic shounen kaiju story that failed to become something more yet was also solidly executed", which is...

I think you're making some assumptions/math here that doesn't necessarily hold? First on a direct level: payment expectations. We don't know exactly what all the bounties are right now I don't think, but when we first saw them listed the Tankrantula and Snail were both the same 100 million...

Opposite. The point here is that given the unexpected challenge and in turn extra expenses (lots of extra missiles, wasted beacons etc), along with Akira and "Nergo" performing far beyond expectations, the amount of bounty (800m) isn't enough to both treat them squarely and cover everyone else...

Thank you so much for finishing off this epic piece of old school space opera. As the notes say, even almost a half century later it still endures. Solid finale to a grand journey, and pleasantly multi-dimensional all around. It was clearly written under the shadow of the Cold War, but here in...

Bird spirit knows a comfy band of friends on a heroic adventure when it sees one :meguu: After a long walk through the barren, violent darkness, it's pretty nice that they get to leave the warring world behind again for a time and be surrounded by nature, even if it is a touch foggy! Looking...

Genuinely a pretty satisfying finale that I think really fits the themes and complexity of the story. Rather then some all out battle of good vs bad or simple deus ex machina, instead both sides are complex and it's the cultural, political, and information aspects combined with some good old...
