Review: Tokyo Ghoul, Vol. 6

Tokyo Ghoul, Vol. 6 Tokyo Ghoul, Vol. 6 by Sui Ishida
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars? 4?

This was a really important volume. A lot of things got explained, and a lot of it was content that never made it on screen.

Basically the whole volume was new content in regards to the anime. There were little scenes here and there that did make it to the anime. There's lots of Juzo in the volume which is nice for me since I like him. His stiches get explained which I appreciated since I was always a bit confused by them. He also gets the whoooooooollee she-bang about kagune explanded to him which was never in the anime. This was even better and even more important cut information. But the real kicker, we finally see what happens after Kaneki gets kidnapped by the Aogiri-Tree fuckers.

In the anime, Kaneki just gets kidnapped then poof all of a sudden he's being tortured by Jason. Little did I know, there's actually a SHIT TON that happens in between those two events. I might not even know all of it yet, since we don't see him being tortured by Jason in this volume. Though I'd venture that that's how volume 7 will open.

So yeah, I just found it interesting how much they cut out. Some info and then the whole escapade at the Aogiri headquarters. Actually I don't remember if it was their actual headquarters or just some other building they took over... Who knows. Anyway I guess it's not too bad, what they cut out. Just missed some action is all. It was definitely great for me. I was really craving new content and after six volumes it finally delivered.

Seeing how things were going I actually thought the Season One finale was going to be at the end of this volume. Then the scenes that were cut out happened, but I'm confident it's going to happen in the next volume. I mean, just look at the cover. Hype. I'm actually pretty excited.

Review: 寄宿学校のジュリエット（３）

寄宿学校のジュリエット（３） by 金田陽介 My rating: 5 of 5 stars Brb, crying. Not actually, though. Like, I didn’t shed any actual tears or even get close to it, it’s just that this series… is so good . The romance between Romeo and Juliet is still weirdly innocent, but the actual story is so engrossing and entertaining. It also seems like almost literally every single character is complex and interesting and multi-layered. (Only the background characters like Maru’s lackeys are undeveloped, but honestly they really don’t need any development anyway.) The relationships between characters keep getting more and more complex, and the situations that the characters have to deal with are also super juicy. This is such an addicting series. My initial problem with Romeo and Juliet’s relationship was that it seemed pretty unhealthy and one-sided to me. Later, I found it very weird how sexually immature they both are, and how un-intimate their relationship is. What is interest...

Review: Bitter Witness: Otto Dix and the Great War

Bitter Witness: Otto Dix and the Great War by Linda F. McGreevy My rating: 0 of 5 stars This is a very unique and interesting academic text. There are no other examinations of the German artist Otto Dix, his war experience, and his war-related art that are quite as in-depth as this one, while also covering a wide range of different aspects and angles of not only the artist's story, but also the Great War's. I used this as a source for a University research essay I wrote on the effects of Dix's war experience on the creation and effects of his painting Skat Players (1920). I was very late in starting my research so I unfortunately had to stick to only reading the information I could use for my own examination, rather than being able to devour this book in its entirety. However, the library requires this book be returned at the end of January of next year, so I have some time now to actually finish this book since the semester has finished...

Review: The Art of the Adventures of Tintin

The Art of the Adventures of Tintin by Chris Guise My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Art of The Adventures of Tintin was even better than I could have ever dreamed. This is my first "Art of" book, and I kind of knew what I was getting into but I was still surprised. I didn't even mean to start reading this when I started reading this. We were given an assignment in art class to design a poster for the school play and I really had no ideas. I remembered that these "Art of" books are full of concept art so I decided to flip through this one. Well, next thing I knew I wasn't just flipping through it, I was completely engrossed in it. I flipped to the first page and started properly reading it. This book was a good reading experience. Right off the bat Chris Guise lets the reader know that he's not going to bombard you with text, that he's gonna let the art do most of the talking and he's going to make the best "Ar...
