Urasawa MMF: Urasawa Wrote What? Yawara, The Unknown Fashionable Judo Girl
To most Western anime and manga fans, Urasawa’s name brings to mind only three titles: Pluto, Monster, and 20th Century Boys. With his latest manga, Billy Bat, it’s no surprise to know that Urasawa’s other works have gone unnoticed. It seems impossible that he’s written anything other than conspiracy-fueled mysteries, but when you look back far enough it’s amazing to find out that he’s written sweet slice of life stories.

Urasawa MMF: A Slice of Naoki Urasawa’s Pineapple Army
By manjiorin, Filed in: Manga Movable Feast
When most people think of Naoki Urasawa works available in English, three obvious ones come to mind: Monster, Pluto, and 20th Century Boys. While those comprise what I like to think of as Urasawa’s “trinity” I was surprised to find another overlooked contribution of his in English: Pineapple Army.

Urasawa MMF: Where Does it Really Lead?- Hatred in Pluto
By AnimeEmily, Filed in: Manga Movable Feast
*Major spoilers are included*
Hate. I hate this; I hate that; I hate him; I hate her.
What does hatred really mean? What does it imply? It’s a word we all have used at one, or many, points in our lives to describe a feeling of dislike regarding a person or object. The extent of those feelings, though, is usually pretty tame. Sure we may say we hate something or someone, but are we really wishing for their utter destruction? Do we get any pleasure from seeing them broken and beaten, in pain? For most of us, the answer is no. Pure hatred is something one experiences rarely, if ever really at all. Personally, I’ve never truly hated anything. Sure, I say I hate vegetables and I dislike certain people, but I would never wish harm on anyone. I have, however, seen about as pure a form a hatred as I think I’ll ever seen in my life (and I promise I’m getting to Pluto). Continue Reading »
Urasawa MMF: Well, I’m Fighting, No Matter What Happens: Music in Urasawa’s 20th Century Boys
By OASG Team, Filed in: Manga Movable Feast
Justin: There’s a lot of things that have been said about Urasawa’s 20th Century Boys in a bunch of circles most likely, starting from his way of suspense and his artwork, and to praise of the series as a whole. However, we’re not gonna talk about any of that. Ok, we still might praise it, but this is intended to be commentary on music in 20th Century Boys. If there wasn’t a clear example on the very first few pages of Chapter 1, well, we’re here to tell you it plays a major factor as the series shifts from one year to the next.
Warning: There are spoilers in this post!
