... that the 2014 film Fires on the Plain, which includes madness, murder, and cannibalism, was intended to warn younger Japanese audiences of the horrors of war? source

Reviewed: Miracles of Gautama Buddha
Comment: Yes, the QPQ was done a long time ago, but no, I haven't "used" it for a nom yet. The hook is a bit dry but think it mostly works, if it bleeds it leads etc.

Article looks good (did some minor copyediting) and is more than fivefold expanded (prose size 268 B to 7929 B or 51 words to 1366), hook is good, source checks out. AGF is for the QPQ, which as you say is rather old; it would be difficult to confirm that you haven't used it before. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 03:44, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
