The Fool shows a child or youth, while the Magician depicts an all powerful adept.

If the Major Arcana represents the Fool’s journey, the Magician is the first thing the Fool encounters.

They don’t take prisoners on the outworld colony of Cerra. Offenders are reintegrated back into society as useful citizens. Sealed in laminated suits, these offenders atone for trangressions via the virtue of labour. Eve, formerly known as MAJ Sara Integra - a scientist working on a military bio-weapon project, is a new addition to this flock of LaMBs

Most of you anime fans/otaku in Singapore are born in the late-80s and 90s at a cusp just after anime’s “golden age”. To catch up with history so as to better appreciate anime music by veterans like Ichirou Mizuki, my Japanese otaku comrade Don777 has written an excellent guide to the history of anisongs (アニソン) from the dawn of anime to the present age in two parts.

The Wandering Otaku

Those articles were originally posted on Akibanana. Don777 is an globe-trotting otaku who’s travelled all over the world. He has a particular fondness for Singapore, her society and food.
