Dec 16, Niquie rated it really liked it Shelves: series-trilogy- duologyThe Devil is a Part-Timer: Manga Vol 3pov-3rdmagictaking-it-too-seriouslysilly-light-fluffunrequited-love. I was pretty excited to read this and while there were some things that grated on me the fact is I finished it in almost a day and not because I spiraled. It's not the deepest story, but it's fun and feels mainstream. I feel like the author could have made it feel more natural instead it comes off sounding text bookie. It's nice that there are other potential couples, but I'd like to see some characters who actually have a chance of getting together falling for each other. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but guess I'll have to see where this goes next vol. It's possible this is a language issue, but when translated to english pages like happens where almost the whole page is two characters talking to each other with no description or dialogue tags, just dialogue dialogue dialogue. Good thing I could figure out who was who, but come on. The Devil is a Part-Timer: Manga Vol 3 I need to stop complaining about this. In fact this will be the last time I bring up dialogue tags. But come on this is the only light novel I notice this problem. View 1 comment. Oct 19, Jasmine Rose rated it it was amazing Shelves: mangabooks-read. Love, love, loved. I'm glad I got past all the anime stuff too not that there was anything wrong with those parts, I just wanted to know what happens next.

For those of you who watched the anime and t And here I thought that this couldn't get The Devil is a Part-Timer: Manga Vol 3 better than what we had going! For those of you who watched the anime and then took to reading the light novels, this is where we get our first major divergence from what we saw in the episodes. Can't figure out what it is? The cover image doesn't even give you a hint? It's this precious little ball of fluff. This is Alas Ramus, and let me just tell you, she throws an entirely new kind of wrench into the workings of the Devil's Castle and its inhabitants' lives. She first appears in the form of a giant apple that falls through a Gate between Ente Isla The Devil is a Part-Timer: Manga Vol 3 Japan, and proves herself capable of stopping Emi's holy sword, Better Half. Promptly thereafter, the apple transforms into a toddler with silver-and-violet hair, purple eyes, and a yellow dress formed from what was previously her apple skin. She declares right away that Maou and Emi are her parents, causing--you guessed it--more shenanigans for everyone involved. Oh, and there's a small platoon of angels looking for her as well, just in case calling the Devil King and the Hero her parents wasn't trouble enough to begin with. It turns out Alas Ramus is a fragment of an elemental crystal or something that was part of Sephiroth, the Tree of Life. Try and tell me things aren't getting interesting! My complaints with this are very few. As I mentioned in my reviews of the first two light novels, the formatting of the story especially for dialogue and speech tags is janked, but I think I'm getting used to that. I think my only serious annoyance is that I don't exactly care for the hints at a more romantic aspect to the relationship between Maou and Emi possibly in store in the future. While there's little to no sexual tension and romantic overtones to their relationship in the anime, there are definitely more hints at it in these light novels, and to be quite frank I find that The Devil is a Part-Timer: Manga Vol 3. That's just a personal preference however. What are the pros for this light novel installment? Alas Ramus herself, for one thing. I hadn't been expecting to like her as a character or even a plot device at all, but she won me over really fast because she's precious and adorable beyond all reason. This novel also gives the reader quite a bit more insight into the background of demons and angels in the world of Ente Isla, which I wasn't expecting at all and am more than a little grateful for! I'm not going to say what that is, barring the fact I've already mentioned the Tree of Life, because I feel like a lot of that ought to be experienced as one reads the book. And finally, I have to say that while I did enjoy seeing Maou turn into a completely doting dad over Alas, I think I was more fascinated by Emi's character development in this volume. We get a lot more of her internal debating over Seems to me like she's on the path to grow more as an individual, which would be a pleasant change of pace to witness and I think I might like her a little more as a character now. Yet again, I'm looking forward to continuing on with the series, and I'm hoping to start the fourth light novel here soon. This was such a fun read, and I highly recommend it to fans of the anime! The third volume of this series finally brings us to the point where the anime from a few years back ended. The events of the second book, with Maou saving Chiho and Emi from Sariel were a few days prior to this novel's opening and now the new adventure begins. Things are settling down to a routine of sorts with the Hero Emilia and the Devil King Maou interacting with their friends and so forth when a surprise arrives express though only Maou suspects this at first from Emi's mom, the archangel The third volume The Devil is a Part- Timer: Manga Vol 3 this series finally brings us to the point where the anime from a few years back ended. Things are settling down to a routine of sorts with the Hero Emilia and the The Devil is a Part-Timer: Manga Vol 3 King Maou interacting with their friends and so forth when a surprise arrives express though only Maou suspects this at first from Emi's mom, the archangel Laylah. The girl calls Maou her daddy and Emi her mommy, much to their chagrin. This wacky scenario is about to get gut-wrenching as sinister forces are in play who want the little girl, and the enormous power that she holds, for their own purposes. Can Emi and Maou protect this new child of theirs, even while not liking being bound to each other? A few things I liked about this volume were that it continues the story past the anime and that it has Emi be badass instead of either helpless or second-fiddle to Maou. Like the second book, it shows her resolve and morality. Despite her sometimes bitchy behavior to Maou which is kinda justified, really, when you think of it she is a good person and a true hero. Maou himself continues his character development of the first book in admitting he made bad mistakes before which was nice. I can't wait until he turns more truly good. Chiho is further fleshed out and is shown to be conflicted and a good person at heart even while she wrestles with thoughts that are hard for anyone, especially a teenager, to grapple with. The rest of the cast is given further characterization, Ashiya and Lucifer are kind beneath their exteriors, and Suzuno is the steadfast ally and basically walking encyclopedia to info-dump on us.

  • The Question of Algorithmic Personhood and Being
    Article The Question of Algorithmic Personhood and Being (Or: On the Tenuous Nature of Human Status and Humanity Tests in Virtual Spaces—Why All Souls Are ‘Necessarily’ Equal When Considered as Energy) Tyler Lance Jaynes Alden March Bioethics Institute, Albany Medical College, Albany, NY 12208, USA; [email protected] Abstract: What separates the unique nature of human consciousness and that of an entity that can only perceive the world via strict logic-based structures? Rather than assume that there is some potential way in which logic-only existence is non-feasible, our species would be better served by assuming that such sentient existence is feasible. Under this assumption, artificial intelligence systems (AIS), which are creations that run solely upon logic to process data, even with self-learning architectures, should therefore not face the opposition they have to gaining some legal duties and protections insofar as they are sophisticated enough to display consciousness akin to humans. Should our species enable AIS to gain a digital body to inhabit (if we have not already done so), it is more pressing than ever that solid arguments be made as to how humanity can accept AIS as being cognizant of the same degree as we ourselves claim to be. By accepting the notion that AIS can and will be able to fool our senses into believing in their claim to possessing a will or ego, we may yet Citation: Jaynes, T.L. The Question have a chance to address them as equals before some unforgivable travesty occurs betwixt ourselves of Algorithmic Personhood and Being and these super-computing beings.

  • Shinkai Makoto: the “New Miyazaki” Or a New Voice in Cinematic Anime?
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Nichibunken Open Access Alistair SWALE Shinkai Makoto: The “New Miyazaki” or a New Voice in Cinematic Anime? Alistair SWALE Shinkai Makoto has steadily consolidated a position as a distinctive and highly innovative animator in contemporary Japan. He has developed a reputation for highly idiosyncratic ‘auteur’ films where he is pivotal in almost every aspect of production—background layouts, character design and plot—and indeed he has been identified by some as the “new Miyazaki”. This paper traces the rise of Shinkai as an animator, examining both the evolution of his distinctive animation techniques and his recurrent concern with fundamental questions of life and nostalgia. The aim is to quite emphatically distinguish Shinkai’s work from Miyazaki, and to discuss how in fact they have rather distinct animation styles and preoccupations. Introduction Shinkai Makoto 新海誠 has emerged as one of the premier auteur animators of the last ten to fifteen years, garnering awards for his largely solo produced works that display a distinctive set of thematics, narrative devices, and visual techniques. Shinkai was born with the original family name, Niitsu, in 1973 in Minamisaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture, into a family who owned a local construction company. He was apparently fond of science fiction from an early age but otherwise followed what might seem to be a relatively conventional path of progression through the education system with incidental involvement in Volleyball and Kyudo which culminated in his entering Chuo University to major in literature in 1991.

    Gendered Power in Studio Ghibli’s Shōjo: Subversion, Containment, Reinscription Keira Elyse Myers Blacksburg, VA Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 2016 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Virginia May 2019 1 Table of Contents: Introduction Chapter 1: The Development of the Shōjo: Contextualizing and Contrasting Miyazaki’s Shōjo Chapter 2: Nausicaa: Gendered Power in Studio Ghibli’s Shōjo Chapter 3: Princess Mononoke: Romance and the “Wild Child” of the 1990s Chapter 4: Transferred Nurturing: Howl’s Moving Castle Chapter 5: The Atomization of Japanese Media and Otaku Subculture Chapter 6: Merging Fiction and Reality and the Lolita Complex Conclusion Bibliography © 2019 Keira Elyse Myers 2 Introduction Within the realm of anime and manga fans, the works of Studio Ghibli’s world-famous animator Hayao Miyazaki are resoundingly applauded for their supposedly progressive depictions of young women in Japanese animated film. Many viewers assert that the young female leads taking positions of power and partaking in combative roles is a clear subversion of patriarchal gender dynamics and power, separating Miyazaki’s shōjo (“young woman”) characters from mainstream anime. However, in this thesis I will work to bring Studio Ghibli’s films back into the discussion of gender representation in Japanese animation using a theoretical feminist media reading of the works’ depictions of gendered power within three key films: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Princess Mononoke, and Howl’s Moving Castle.
