Ah yes he played a young child who can see the future right

I'm reading this at the moment. It's great. I've just finished volume 3, and I have 4 and 5 already on my bookshelf.

I got onto it after visiting the Tezuka exhibition in Sydney a while ago. I found the artwork to be particularly good for a Tezuka work. And his storytelling is outstanding as usual.

The exhibition guide said he wasn't actually a practicing Buddhist (and I believe he wrote manga of the Bible too). Does anyone know what religion Tezuka was?

(also, hi everyone! )

I read Buddha some time ago; I found it entertaining, yet, sometimes disturbing because of its depictions of cruelty and the self-inflicted miseries of the ascetics. In Innuyasha toward the series's end, it shows a Buddhist monk being buried alive in a pit with a bamboo reed for air. The people expected him to pray for them as he died of thirst and hunger. I recall that in Buddha there was one such incident.

BTW, It was early last November since you last posted; I am glad you have returned.

How goes the LEGO project?
