It's a shame that when people talk about Osamu Tezuka, they only think of Astro Boy. Every volume of this biography of Buddha is a comics masterpiece. The final two volumes of this series are coming out in paperback this summer and I can't wait. ( ) Those who dislike the more supernatural elements of the Buddha series should perhaps consider skipping this volume entirely, as it is largely the story of Ananda, a man chosen by a devil to find and kill Buddha, and so is given invincibility at a very young age. Magic abounds in this volume, making it feel more like a traditional graphic novel and less like a biography, religious in nature or not. On the bright side, this volume is less violent than recent volumes, and causes less despair at the eternal grinding misery of the human condition. Still superbly written, in any case. Een nieuw deel en dan ook een heel nieuw personage, Ananda genaamd. Zoals de titel van het boek al doet vermoeden gaat het meer over dit figuur dan over de net verlichte Boeddha. Toch was ik wel een beetje teleurgesteld dat het behoorlijk lang duurde voordat Boeddha zelf weer in beeld kwam. Aan de andere kant is het verhaal van Ananda die van baby af aan beschermd wordt door een demon die Boeddha haat wel weer zo levendig en vol humor en wijsheden neergezet dat die teleurstelling daarmee ruimschoots verzacht wordt. De sprekende tekeningen en onverwachte wendingen waren wederom subliem en ik zou wat dat betreft iedereen willen oproepen om toch zeker deze hele manga-reeks te lezen. Wat me in dit deel expliciet opviel is dat er een aantal grappen in zaten die alleen voor Nederlandstalige te snappen zijn. Zoals de vader van Ananda die op een gegeven moment roept dat als iemand ruzie met hem wil zoeken daar nog een hele kluif aan zal hebben. Vervolgens valt er een kluif uit de lucht op zijn hoofd. Ik heb geen idee wat daar voor Japanse tekst gestaan zal hebben maar dat dit toeval is, lijkt me sterk. Hoge mate van humor is een affiche aan een muur waar een groep mensen voor de tekst staan te lezen. Een daarvan roept "Ik kan geen Nederlands lezen!' Dan word ik zeer nieuwsgierig naar de betrokkenheid van de meester zelf bij deze vertalingen. De verlichte Boeddha heeft in dit deel heel wat zieltjes gewonnen of hij dat wil of niet. Nog twee delen te gaan en ik heb er alle vertrouwen in dat de enorme hoge kwaliteit van deze manga daarin voortgezet wordt. Volume Six of the Buddha series tells the story of Ananda, a young bandit whose life had been promised to a demoness. The story shows his life and ultimate redemption with the help of a young slave girl and the Buddha. Once again, the story has an impressive emotional depth that also mixes with some masterful storytelling. The Buddha is not as much a focus in this volume as he has been in other volumes but his presence is nonetheless profound. What I find most interesting in this series is how Buddha's message almost literally unfolds in its telling. The didacticism is kept to a minimum and you see Buddhist teachings exemplified in the stories rather than simply presented as done deals. As I've said in reviews of earlier volumes, this series serves as an invitation to Buddhism and is not at all some sort of academic or catecetical presentation. I'd question my ultimate adherence to Buddhism, but my desire to find out more about it has grown considerably since I started the series. The sixth volume of the Buddha series focuses on Ananda, a young bandit protected by a she-devil who has a bone to pick with Buddha. This volume marks another excellent entry in a truly great series. As always, Tezuka's storytelling is masterly. His visuals blend seamlessly with the text and pack a huge wallop. The pacing is good, the paneling works to great effect, and the artwork is very expressive. This is an easy book - an easy series, really - to get lost in. The story itself continues to inspire. Tezuka shows us what the Buddha teaches instead of telling us straight out. As a result, the book provides a lot of food for thought on a number of levels. If that's not your thing, though, don't despair; there's a well-told story here, too. I really think you'll get the most out of it, though, if you're inclined to spend some time thinking about what it all means in a larger context. Highly recommended, but read the previous five volumes first for maximum impact. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
