I’ve been reading and writing a lot about comics that even my attempt at drawing something that should look more like a manga character ended up like a character from comic books.
Possible explanations include watching That’s What I Am while sketching, too much Western movies and TV series, and getting annoyed at every Bleach releases. (Fullbring? Really?)

Game of Thrones is the best HBO mini-series to come out since Band of Brothers. I finished watching all 10 episodes last week.
If you have time to waste on an awesome fantasy series, you better watch it.

Ever since I started playing Soul Calibur 3, I’ve always been attracted to the character Talim. Not only because she’s Filipino, but because she’s fast; and I love hearing her shout “Wind!”
I’m far from being a good player but after a couple of months matching with other players in the arcade, I figured out that “sidestep” (↓↓) or (↑↑) is her best defense. Combined with even the very basic attacks, Talim’s sidestep can be very fatal.

We’re in for another treat from Ghibli Studio. This time with the studio’s adaptation of the 1980 two-volume manga From Up on Poppy Hill (Kokurikozaka kara) written by Tetsurō Sayama with illustrations by Chizuru Takahashi.
…it’s Umi Komatsuzaki, a high school student in 1963 who is forced to fend for herself when her sailor father goes missing in the seaside town of Yokohama. With her photographer mother also MIA thinks that work, Umi must manage the family’s boarding house and her her feelings for two local boys.
The movie is a collaboration between veteran director and Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Mononoke-hime) and his son Gorō (Tales of Earthsea).

I’ve read the manga and watched the anime. To complete the circle, I finally watched the live action adaptation.
It wasn’t really what Beck manga fans would expect from an adaptation. I even find the parts where the voice are purposefully muted rather annoying. It was probably done to hide the fact that the actors can barely hit the notes.
Nevertheless, the adaptation was a faithful adaptation of the manga, which makes up for its shortfalls.
