The recently-released video game Scarlet Nexus by Bandai Namco is now my favorite video game of all-time. My previous favorite, Final Fantasy 8, reigned supreme for 18 years. Part of the reason for why I like this game so much is for the following quote:
“I consider a skill to be just one tool out of many. If you can’t use one, then just use another. There are other ways to raise your family besides using a particular skill. Even if I didn’t have it, I’m sure I’d find another way to support my family. Whether you have a particular skill or not, your feelings won’t change. What’s important is not how you do it, but what you do.”
Kasane Randall (Scarlet Nexus, 2021)
Just like there being one skill out of many, this was only one quote out of many in this story-driven video game. It’s surprising to see how video games progressed throughout the years. Many of them, like this one, contain deep storylines and character development comparable to movies. This gets me excited for the future of video gaming, and life. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Back in 378, there was a 7th generation lumberjack whose job was to cut down a giant cedar tree. The giant tree was sucking out the nutrients from the nearby soil, constricting the town’s need to expand its wheatfields. For 300 years, the lumberjack and his ancestors tried to cut down this tree with a legendary but blunt axe to no avail.
The anime Violet Evergarden is about a former child soldier’s journey to adjust back into society after the war and to search for her life’s purpose after the death of her only loved one. Being an orphan, Violet was scouted by the military during the war for her exemplary fighting skills. She was placed under the command of Major Gilbert Bougainvillea, who not only appreciated her military prowess, but who also treated her as a family member. Gilbert always stressed the importance for her to find her life’s purpose, rather than to blindly obey orders. Being a child raised in the military, she couldn’t change her military mentality, even until the day Gilbert was killed in action.
February 16 was the first day of the Chinese New Year calendar in 2018. Traditionally – in line with the regular New Year – people make a lot of wishes during this first day. I have made my fair share of 7 wishes that I hope to come true in this Year of the Dog. They are all aligned with the major topics of this blog MANTA-FW, namely Military, Aerospace, Nutrition, Travel, Anime, Fishkeeping, and Writing.
With characters similar to Evangelion and mecha similar to the Marvel movie Antman, Darling in the FranXX adds a new twist to the typical mecha anime.

Your Name (君の名は) is an animated movie by Makoto Shinkai (新海 誠), also known as Hayao Miyazaki’s (宮崎 駿) successor. Since its original animated commercial in 2014, then known as Cross Roads, it was since renamed and modified to become this new movie that has grossed USD174 million worldwide thus far. No simple feat, especially for an anime. The following movie review contains spoilers, but that shouldn’t be much of a problem, because it allows you to fully enjoy the script and settings when watching the movie. A quality movie can never be spoiled by spoilers.
Stemming from my interest in Japanese travel (especially Tokyo) and anime, I’ve taken 6 lessons so far to study the difficult にほんご (Japanese language). What a satisfying experience! There are 2 main sets of characters to learn: Hiragana (native Japanese characters) and Katakana (words borrowed from other languages, mostly English). I love Katakana! I wish all Japanese words consisted of only Katakana. Because after memorizing those 46 characters, based on the sounds of the words, I was able to accurately guess the English words they were referring to.
It’s been a while since I’ve been excited to watch an anime and the Heroic Legend of Arslan doesn’t disappoint. I’ve watched 3 episodes of the anime so far and I had to force myself to stop in order to write this review. Then I’ll continue watching some more. But I must say this anime isn’t for everyone, as there’s a lot of action and if you’re not into military, you may find it unappealing.
