Borderline obsessive....yeah, that sounds right :p
With the amount of work they're putting into building up this setting, I wonder how many years they'll stick with it. I've warmed to most of the characters. The last chapter I read gave us Kanu's backstory. I'm not sure how true it is to the source material but in this Tallgeese attacked his village and Kanu tried to fight him off. His wife gave him her amulet, which saved his life when Tallgeese knocked him down with a single blow. However, everyone else was slaughtered whilst he was unconscious. However, the manga seems to be making the 3 'brothers' too samey. They all have the same general personality whilst in the kit comics they all have different personalities. Especially Chouhi, who's presented as something of a loner and the one least happy about teaming up. > Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 15:20:39 -0400 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [gundam] Some new info on Sangokuden's Tallgeese > > Grant White wrote: > > Various sources, including Japanese magazines (Comic BomBom, Gundam Ace) > > and fansites.
