Japanese manga and anime fans often sort and categorize their favorite characters with well-established arachetypes, most of all the -dere peresonality types. Being based on the Japanese word dere, these archetypes describe how a given character might express and process their emotions, most of all love and affection, or perhaps strong friendships too. The kuudere archetype, for example, describes any anime character who hides their warm affection behind a cool, detached exterior and perhaps a blank facial expression. These kuudere lovers tend to play it cool and not get too worked up, but over time, they will show their true feelings to…

The myth of giants as first inhabitants of countries is a common legend shared by different cultures. In this paper, we highlight that one of the determining factors of the origination of the myth was the discovery of large vertebrate bones (largely Cenozoic), initially interpreted as the remains of giant humans. Thus, huge skeletons were interpreted by authoritative writers such as Strabo, Philostratus and Pliny (just to name a few) as the bodies of the mythological giant Antaeus, Ilio son of Hercules, Orestes, Cyclops and many others. As for the myth of the Great Flood, also the hypothesis of the…

Despite featuring differing plotlines, One Piece and Fairy Tail share many peculiar similarities that are worth exploring. It’s not uncommon for anime series to bear a few resemblances as mangaka often tend to draw inspiration from other works, especially with the anime industry being extremely saturated. However, there’s a certain limit when it comes to drawing inspiration, as crossing that particular line leads to the territory of plagiarism. While there aren’t many cases in the anime industry as a whole, however, one example that comes close is the striking similarity between two popular shonen series – One Piece and Fairy Tail. A few resemblances…

Bonney spent the last few chapters unconscious and slung over people’s shoulders. It’s especially embarrassing considering everything she’s missed.

The unicorn first emerged nearly 2.5 million years ago but is believed to have disappeared 350,000 years ago. However, researchers from Tomsk State University in Siberia, Russia, now believe that Elasmotherium Sibiricum may have been around till as recently as 29,000 years ago. “Most likely, it was a very large male of very large individual age.

The largest living thing on the planet is not a whale or any other animal you might expect.

It has been entwining its black shoestring filaments over the forest for an estimated 2,400 years, which causes trees to die as it grows. Spreading through the roots of trees, this fungus covers 2,200 acres today, which…
