Just looking at the cover we can see some intriguing details: a ship could means our heroes will travel back north close to Ileth homebirth? Or maybe some other area? Also let's open the guessing over who is the dragon in the cover.

An artist to check
1 min read
Just wanted to break the silence imposed both by covid and lack of general news from the Felidae world to indicate an artist of high quality that recently produced a big amount of sketches of Felidae, based on the unique style and (very interestingly) some after the reading of follow-up books of the series! Fan-arts based upon books are rare, in Felidae world, and the artist deserve a good praise for the creativity and skill:
(I made some requests to adds the pics in the group's gallery, but there are many of them and i suggest people to dig into the artist gallery)

Birthday (31 ^^)

One year past 30 it's not a big deal, being into the "central but still relatively young" part of life xd
However important thing it's staying at home with family, still getting paid and making online lessons and having time for interests and hobbies. Birthday gifts will likely have to wait this year (Italy it's still on a strict lockdown) but still a cake in a couple of days
Biggest thing of the last year was the achievment of having started working as teacher and that contract it's continuing for the end of this school's year (by june). We will see in future for next one but it's a first solid step.

Sepulveda passed away
1 min read
The covid claimed as victim one of the greatest writer, poet and of our time: Luis Sepúlveda will be missed but not forgotten.
As many Italians who grew up in '90s, my childhood included what was the best animated italian movie, inspired by his short novel "historia de una gaviota y del gato que le enseñó a volar".
Totally suggest to watch the movie (either in italian or in English as "Lucky and Zorba") centered on a black cat raising a seagull chick.
It's a touching fable with strong ecologist elements and understanding and love for who's different from you. Interestingly the original Italian dubbing included Sepúlveda himself voicing "the Poet."
This is the english-version of the main ending song.

Goodbye Luis, you will keep flying

Digimon Adventure reboot - opinions
3 min read
Let's start saying that i literally [b]grew-up[/b] with the original Digimon Adventure and 02 when i was a kid and finished my secondary school with Digimon Tamers...
Despite it could have been easy to criticize, i honestly [b]liked [/b]many points of the latest direct sequel to the first two old series (Digimon Tri) with the grown-up characters, but it's something [u]only a fan can attempt to follow[/u]. It was great for adding some juicy interaction scenes between kids and digimon and for a couple of ideas, but was also plagued by some elements (Meiko "crybaby") and did not fully exploited some interesting points (like the older generation of Digidestined). Personally i look forward for the final conclusion of the original timeline (with the movie "Kizuna") but meanwhile let's try to be honest with this other "Adventure reboot".
Well... I didn't liked it much. It was fairly pointless, the series start with a 2020 setting (nothing can be done over it, but sadly this alone deprive a bit of what the original Digimon was: to DISCOVER the digital world). For one point, a character like Koichiro received a speed-up over his own evolution turning a mega-genious since the beginning (something that in the original series come out bit by bit). The first interaction between human and digimon?[b] no surprise, no fear no amazed reaction[/b]: there was no "discovery" of the different one, and the two episode quickly rushed into copy-cat of the first Digital Movie plot (basically tossing the human characters inside the network to fight of some clone army of a virus digimon attempting to nuke Tokyo stealing away missiles).
The main and only positive thing i can say it's the effort they did to merge a revamped great art quality (effects, attacks, the digievolution) while retaing some old style designs that resamble the old series. Oh... and Taichi personally fighting some Digimon was also cool.
I will keep watch the entire series obviously, but don't keep high expectations after this beginning. Have a feeling it's a mixup of old elements, reshaped with a cool art quality, to attempt lure back old fans ....and new ones who doesn't have the focus to follow a series (like old Digimon ones) that needed TIME and efforts to develop characters and interactions.
PS: The ending of the anime it's quite awesome also, mostly centered over Yamato: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZWz3m…
