here's me and my daughter cosplaying as them (:
L'anime #DrSlump, adapté du manga d'Akira Toriyama, célèbre aujourd'hui ses 45 ans! Cette série demeure un classique hilarant qui, malgré la renommée de son auteur, n’a pas la reconnaissance qu’elle mérite dans notre pays. 🌞 #Drスランプ

I've just realized people might think that Go Nagai drew that sketch for me. 😅 I wish! I've never met him, unfortunately. That's just a pic I downloaded from the internet. What I meant is that Devilman, the first manga I ever read, changed my life.

Loved the Babel II saga so much that I had to get Babel II: The Returner by Takashi Noguchi (17 volumes, serialized from 2010 to 2017). ​Really hope it does justice to the amazing work of Yokoyama-sensei.
Replying to @phre
We did get the modern sequel by Takashi Noguchi, Babel II: The Returner (set 40 years after the original), which I'll definitely buy. (6/7)

This kid reminds me of my daughter ❤️
せんでもええ部分は省いて、一応俯瞰を残しておく。 この件の要点は、 ①「今どきの子供がなぜか大昔のマジンガーに興味を持って、その形が「丸い」と違和感を感じた」 ②「それを探偵!ナイトスクープが取り上げて永井豪先生に繋いだ」 この2点であると思う。 ②がなければ①は有り得ない。 ①について、「なぜ」と思うということは「なぜ」と思わない別種のロボットが一般的であるという状況が存在する。 ②については、このネタを持ってくる以上は、探偵!ナイトスクープが現状とその経緯について知らぬはずはなく、むしろ百も承知で永井豪先生に繋ぐという物語を演出していると見る。 今なお子供がマジンガーに興味を持つ。 その自明な謎を解くに当たって、今なお健在の永井豪先生が登場する。 この美しい物語が重要なのであり、それを実現したことに大いに敬意を表する。これは歴史に残るだろう。 ここには実は何の説明もない。 鉄人28号がなく、怪タンクもなく、魔神ガロンも魔王ダンテもなく、ザ・ムーンもなく、超合金とそれに連なるロボットアニメブームも、その帰結や逆像として生まれ、産業に至ったガンダムの、ついに一般化された角張った印象もない。 必要ないからである。

We also love to sing old anime openings together 😁
Since everyone has been talking in the past couple of days about the differences between Italian and Japanese anime openings, allow me to re-share these two videos of my daughter and me singing the JAPANESE openings of Mazinger Z and Kotetsu Jeeg (this one is actually an Italian-Japanese mash-up). 😊

LMAO I literally don't know where to put them anymore. ​My shelves are bending and overflowing. It's like Tetris in there, with volumes stacked in every possible way, front and back, up and down. ​Not to mention the ones in the pic on the right that are now tucked away.
海外の人で日本のマンガやラノベをズラッと本棚や電子書籍に並べてる姿を見たことがない...

Dang, I even have a volume that was never printed in JAPAN!
I was thinking about this, about how lucky we're here in Italy. Not only do we have one of the largest pools of imported manga in the world, but we also have physical copies of manga that never got a physical release even in Japan.

And on the flip side, if there's anything I need to complete my collection that was never published in Italy, I just import it straight from Japan! 👀
d/visual, the publisher that brought Babel Nisei to Italy back in the day, shut down before it could publish the last volume. ​So I bought the Japanese copy of the eighth volume instead. ​Allow me a quick thread. 🧵 (1/7)

Jeeg, is that you? 😂
Apparently, these sketches aren't from the movie Uchu Enban Daisenso, but from the unproduced TV series Enban Robo Gattaiger! Let's recap how we went from Roboizer to Grendizer, hoping I got it all right. 🧵

In the off chance anyone is curious enough about my modest collection to want to know what titles I have, I created a database that I constantly update with all the volumes I currently own. Yeah, I know, I'm a bit obsessed 😅 🔗: docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
