The Manga Book Club will have its next meeting on Saturday, January 10, from 4:00 to 6:00 at the Mesquite North Branch Library, 2600 Oates Dr.
After our Christmas meeting, when we watched Tokyo Godfathers, I noticed that the old western, Three Godfathers, was playing on Turner Classic movies--actually 2 different versions of it. The 1948 version starred John Wayne and was directed by John Ford. The 1936 version starred Lewis Stone and Walter Brennan. Apparently John Ford also made a silent version, but it wasn't being aired. I liked the 1936 version better, mainly because I liked the character played by Lewis Stone. It was easy to see that these two westerns were the inspiration for Tokyo Godfathers, but the anime did add a lot to the characterization of the three godfathers, as well as the parents of the lost baby. It was really interesting to see them all so close together.
Anyway, we'll be back to our regular format at our next meeting, and watching the next episodes of Blood +.
