Catch Hold Of Saber Tiger Assembled By Yukinobu Hoshino Readily Available As Leaflet

goofy time is a spiral because DNA woooo, but at least it has ideas, Il volume raccoglie sette gradevoli racconti di SF, di cui i migliori sono il cupo "Sabel Tiger" che da il titolo al volume la pessimistica storia "Sergente", una storia di guerra dove non è chiaro se comandino l'uomo o le macchine e chi debba proteggere chi infine "Trappola di bitume" divertente, con un profondo e nero senso dell'umorismo.
Saber Tiger is one ofsera manga/graphic novels that I would have rated much higher at the time but now seems very dated, The book explores the common sci fi tropes at the time through two stories time travel and affecting the future by going into the distant past done better by Ray Bradbury and "Sound of Thunder", and colonizing a new planet and how it affects humans and the animals left to fend for themselves on the that unexplored world.


In the first story, scientists discover and then land on an Earthlike planet, They release a small set of animals into a large grassy plains to see how they survive on the planet, But their ship becomes mired in the soil and they find themselves marooned for five years before a relief craft will come, They have to make a home due to the ship's limited supplies/power but soon a strange, constant noise begins affecting them and the animals that survive horses, monkeys, swans.
. . It creates antisocial tendencies in all the Earth life forms and the scientists begin to unravel,

In the second story, women from the future have come to the cavemen past in order to save cavemen from natural predators in this case, a sabre tooth tiger clan so the human gene pool is as large as possible.
It seems the future of humanity is in jeopardy due to the gene pool running out of differentiation options and humans reaching a dead end of extinction.
But the sabre tooth tigers don't really care about humanity's future and happily decide to get revenge for the death of one of their den.


As you can imagine, in the days of hard technology in thest century, the idea that a ship would randomly drop animals to see how they 'survive' e.
g. , here's a plains, let's drop some swans and see if they can survive without water is ludicrous, As is the idea of randomly landing without actually checking the location's suitability/stability, It's hard to take anything seriously in the story when the science is a joke,

Similarly, in the second story, women who all look alike in space suits armed only with a small laser on their hands and it takes allof them to kill one sabertooth tiger are expected to be able to savecavemen.
They get quickly offed by oddly sentient revenge seeking tigers yeah right and thenorof the animals jump into the cave and slaughter all the cavemen who are armed as well.
Humanity is doomed thanks to some animals, Because clearly cavemen can't defend themselves unlessstupid women come from the future and save them, Again, ludicrous.

At the time, these were deep musings on US and European sci fi themes from thes, Butyears later, it all seems trite, shallow, and cringeworthy, Dos buenas historias de ciencia ficción en la línea Bradbury,
El primero el choque entre eras donde un grupo de humanos es enviado a la prehistoria a corregir cierta anomalía temporal,
El segundo, otro grupo de exploradores espaciales llegan a un planeta desconocido muy similar a la tierra con el fin de evaluar su habitabilidad para la humanidad.

El dibujo es muy bueno, es un gran testigo del manga de género de los ochentas, Being a fan ofnights, I found no problem enjoying this forgotten collection of two early hard science fiction stories, I'm glad I picked this up when I came across last year, I had a few problems getting into thend story, but thest story is a great version of a classic scifi theme, Yukinobu Hoshino in Japanese, sitelink 星野之宣 is a Japanese manga artist, In, after dropping out of Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music, he debuted with Kotetsu no Queen 鋼鉄のクイーン, In the same year, he won the Tezuka prize for an outstanding manga with Harukanaru Asa はるかなる朝, He is known for using the gekiga style to create detailed and serious science fiction stories based on American and
