Knights of Sidonia? I didn't finish volume 1. How could someone practically grown by himself (his grandfather had died years and years before the beginning of the story) speak fluently? There were so many absurdities in the half a volume I read that I became afraid of the entire collection.kamugin wrote:Thank you very much for this newest release.
What the fuck means to be a necro soldier? I haven't figured it so far.
I finished reading Knights of Sidonia and that was a very good work.
This is not the place to discuss Sidonia, so I have to ask to the fellow forum members for their forgiveness.Sergio Nova wrote: Knights of Sidonia? I didn't finish volume 1.

Everything is possible. That makes me remember when Silvester Stallone was nominated to the Oscar as best actor. I can imagine the old deans at the Academy laughing before astonished audience and media.kamugin wrote: This is not the place to discuss Sidonia, so I have to ask to the fellow forum members for their forgiveness.
Ask yourself, Sergio, if you would be able to alone teach a child how to speak, I think you would, right? Besides it isn't clear how much time have passed since his grandfather died at the beginning of the story. Finally I have to say that a manga that have won this year Kodansha's award must have to be good to a certain extent.
Someone dies, and then is resurrected using highly advanced technology. The problem is that his free will is past, as it is controlled by someone who manipulates the wires, making him a puppet.kamugin wrote:

It isn't quite like that. I asked before how a puppet can pratice and improve its skills for 200 years all by itself? So far Yukito haven't defined very well what the heck is a necro soldier. At first it was like you wrote, but Erica's behaviour seems to be unfitting to that definition, and now, this last chapter twisted the question even more. "I'm a necro soldier, it can't be helped, life has this kind of things. I still have my motivations and my goals, they remain unchanged". For puppets, those guys are very autonomous as far we can see.Sergio Nova wrote: Someone dies, and then is resurrected using highly advanced technology.

1. Actually, my explanation was incompetent. They are autonomous while Dasein ("the one who exists", as Caerula and Tsang define him) is not pulling the strings from the shadows.kamugin wrote: It isn't quite like that.

Since the beginning, this question remembered me a very interesting book I read about one year ago, "A Ilusão da Alma - Biografia de uma Ideia Fixa" http://www.companhiadasletras.com.br/de ... digo=12898 . It puts under analysis if we are really masters of ourselves or if all human behaviour is conditioned by our surroundings. If you don't know that book, I recommend it to you Sergio.
Now it makes more sense, I only hope that this is how Yukito thinks also.Sergio Nova wrote: 1. Actually, my explanation was incompetent. They are autonomous while Dasein ("the one who exists", as Caerula and Tsang define him) is not pulling the strings from the shadows.
