I think the spirit of the tradition is still being maintained in medium like podcasts/audio stories and book readings! (Maybe even some second-screen media somewhat also)

Though televised pingshu and xiangsheng still exist youtu.be/N6I0IDKDmlQ?...

Yep, it's the whole deal with kuaiban. I've heard it also compared to rapping, which is actually fairly accurate too hahaha www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTWh...

This style of performance is called Kuaibanshu 快板书 and has existed as oral storytelling form for very long time)

How about either Moumou or Method-master Lan?

The idea that the design would collapse into a mess of technical intricacies and greeblies you can't make head or tails of is a cool idea though unfortunately the execution here went about it the least cool way tbh

the nepo baby ensign gets a figurine and not the distinguished war veteran who has seen over two hundred distinct combat engagements. i see you for what you are, lego corporation

And O'Brien was a union man

When Ishinomori does have fans its always for a work from the same genre or style like Superheroes and 5 squadrons when Ishinomori did more then just 2 and its also a shame with Digital Collection since alot of the colorized mangas in there are made to be in Black and White

I think its especially a shame because those superhero works rarely showcase the full breadth of what Ishinomori was capable of. Like I like Kikaider, but Uma ga yuku over there for example came around the same time as it & clearly had more attention paid for it.
