@ahhhh yep mirai means future. 未來 in kanji.

personally i thought this manga got boring at around chapter 70. the plot became an endless stirring and re-stirring of tensions created by the guy they picked up in the sea, in the same way butter gets too thick if you stir it for too long. it was choking.

still, the original idea was really nice...

ahhhh

To be honest, I can't tell half the people apart. They all look the same to me. I guess a little less realism for the sake of convenience would be nice.

Speaking of symbolism, isnt Mirai supposed to mean "future" or something?

so he doesn't ever get born in this world but it would be a flaw in logic to assume no one else exist in this world reminds me of stargate sg1 near the end of season 1 when daniel jackson when to an alternate realitiy

Tried to read it, just simply can´t get into it, too boring (IMO).

Yeah, what's with the poses? They don't look epic enough to justify a dedicated page. That's minus to me. Considering there are worse manga that dedicate themselves to setting up fanservice (Can't mangakas understand that if you see too much too often, you get used to it?), I'll still follow this.

Storylines with restraint of power still strike a chord to me.

i used to like this manga but then i grew fed up with all the striking poses.

"I'm gonna find a sucker and rip him off" >.>
That would work better if you weren't on a ship, with nowhere to run when the sucker figures out that he'd been ripped off. 0.0

Correction to chapter 33: It was not the "USS Canbera, Quincy and Vincennes", but rather the "HMAS Canberra, USS Quincy and Vincennes". The forces were mixed American and Australian. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Savo_Island for the historical details.

Chapter 28, the arrival of the Umitori on the Yamato is an awesome scene for anybody interested in alternate history and the possibilities that can be shown in it.

At least through the first two volumes (all I've read so far), the story seems to be reasonably well thought out, and the art good. In that sense, head and shoulders above many series.

@rockgollem I don't really get were you get this from. Which characters on Mirai are like that?

rpapo

Aug 23 2012 05:35 PM

From what I hear, the (originally anime) series "Deep Blue Fleet" is far worse. Zipang at least tries to apply a modern morality to what it shows.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konpeki_no_Kantai for more information.

@rockgollem Doesn't bother me at all, because in the end who got their cities firebombed? Who had Enola Gay do a fly-by over their country? Japan can spawn as many revisionist and apologist historians they want, but their big, bad red neighbor isn't going to forget any time soon.

I find this manga quite offensive in content. It's another right-wing Japanese justification of war and attrocities it commited. How would you feel if there was a manga about how they go back to Nazi Germany in time and do bunch of stuff and a character spouts that they would have done the right thing and everything they did wrong would be justified if they simply didn't invade Soviet Union and focused on Britain and kept that whole part of the world?

Precisley.

History fact: USS Wasp (CV-7) was sunk in 1942 south of Guadalcanal, by a japanese submarine. So from that perspective, they still haven't altered history.

@Oliverfr

Is it a spoiler if its misleading?

Oliverfr

Jul 06 2012 12:40 PM

@imercenary : is it a wild guess, an educated guess, or actual facts coming from someone who saw the raws ?

There is an error in page 16. When the captain says "Quiero hacer el amor con ti" he should be saying "Quiero hacer el amor contigo". "With you" in spanish es "contigo".

I don't know it's an intended error in the manga thought, it's a common fail of people learning spanish in early stages mistake to say "con ti" instead of "contigo".

There was an American movie "Final Countdown", about modern aircraft carrier being brought back in time to a day of japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. I remember a nice scene of skirmish between two Tomcats and two Zeros. The movie is old but still a nice watch
