I was reading the Slam dunk manga but decided to continue watching it from the anime because seeing the matches in actions is 100 % more entertaining and plus I get to hear my favourite boys talk.
You are good at something, stop lying to yourself. You’re good at breaking down comic book plots, cooking ramen perfectly, making your friends happy, knowing the time without looking at a clock, getting the perfect ending at RPG’s, or figuring out the twist ending to movies. Don’t let society tell you your talents are meaningless because they don’t serve an economical purpose. Your talents reflect your interests and passions, and what’s important to you is important.
There is something just so interesting and nostalgic about Adachi’s works and Cross Game is becoming a favourite of mine.
cross game is so good at making a subtle narrative carry weight like there’s so many times where panels are purely scenic or atmospheric, or where someone says something that would otherwise feel trivial, and yet the plot surrounding those panels and speech lends so much context and makes it feel that much more impt like that’s really such a talent to have as a writer
One thing I love, love, LOVE about slice of life anime is the silent moments. When a character is surprised, when someone wants to hide their feelings. A slight clenching of their jaws or a twitch of their eyes, a twitch of their fingers, and then the frame shifts and you only hear their voices, or the frame stays for a fraction of a second before the moment passes and you know. You just know. No need to overly explain about things. No need to lay out their feelings and inner thoughts for all to hear. You just know.
