The right-to-left format makes me confused and disoriented

:lol:

That's pretty cool.

The "old manga" style reminds me a bit of the anime series Zipang - where a moder Aegis ship gets transported back in time. Do recommend checking it out, for those who aren't averse to the style - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVYNLb0nXe0

If you can say it "ends" at all in fact :damn:

Yes, that series was good in every way except the "ending". I can't understand why they did that. Unless they were planning another series, and it never happened. It was a bit of an anti-climax after the awesome battle against the Hornet and the divebombers.

Still, it was very enjoyable watching it up to then. Lots of technical detail in that series - more than I've seen in any naval-related live action movie lately.

IIRC the Zipang manga wasn't finished (and still isn't) when they made the anime, so they could only make up to a certain point, they might make an ending when the manga ends

BTW, that was the Wasp, not the Hornet

Using 'comics' is nothing new. The armed forces have been doing that since WWII.

BTW other than the formatting it really dident look very manga like to me.

But then left will become right and right will become left, making me even more disoriented
