Reading through the CITY manga it is fascinating to see that the few sketches in the anime that didn't work for me tend to be ones that had their setups altered - mostly due to the diminished role given to the Adatara family.

Obviously goes beyond just readers and might be criticism of some manga authors too. Pic related.

Sommers complains that Luffy & co have robbed him of the only way he can conceive emotions - through witnessing death and trauma.

Sommers being the sort of arrested adolescent who complains about comics not killing characters off makes for a fantastic villain.

Mumford & Sons on SNL in 2026 feels like finding that last Japanese soldier holding out on a remote island in the 1970s. the Emperor surrendered. clap-stomp was declared an op. clear channel pap. we closed that door in 2017 when everyone was digging that weird MGMT darkwave moment.
