Since there’s a manga thread, manga I read this week lol!
Berserk was awesome as always! Finally we get to see the fight between Guts and Serpico, I’ve been hearing about that since last year.
Not sure if this qualifies as manga or not but I’m just gonna be lazy and mention it here anyway ha ha! I’m a big fan of C.B. Cebulski’s X-Men Fairy Tales and Spider-Man Fairy Tales so when I was in the comic shop last week I saw his name on a #1 issue so I decided to check it out. The book was called Compass and it was written by Cebulski along with Akihide Yanagi. Ryusuke Hamamato provided the artwork. Nothing special so far but a fun comic. I was suprised when the Indian girl called the asian girl “Chun Li” mocking her character, hey I didn’t think I would find a Street Fighter reference of all things in the comic! I found a random image of the cover online, the indian girl is on the bottom and the girl she called Chun Li is on the top lollerooney!
I’m currently reading Berserk, I’m up to volume 26. My favorite manga aside from berserk are maison ikkoku, Tsukihime, and Death Note. I highly recomend the tsukihime manga, it’s got a lot of good action and really good character development. It’s far better than the anime in any way imaginable.
I’m currently reading around 92 different series, that’s both scanlations and stuff I purchase. Doesn’t include stuff I’ve finished, but most of the stuff I read isn’t done anyway so the number would only be a little higher. Since that’s way too many to list, I’ll just list some of my favs:
Berserk
xxxHolic
Trigun(and Maximum)
Negima
Hajime no Ippo
Genshiken
King of Bandits Jing
Beck
Tenjou Tenge
Mirai Nikki
Vagabond
Hell yeah, Ares is the best shonen action series out there. No special moves FTW, just all-out fighting.
I somehow forgot to mention this in my other post. My favorite manga is Eagle: The Making of an Asian-American President. I have never read anything else like it. As a bonus, the translation wasn’t very awkward compared to most other manga.
mangas that everyone should read at least once in his life:
dragon ball - pretty the first decent shonen, everything that came after is inspired by it
rouroni kenshin - actually one of the best samurai manga out without sex and annoying talk, maybe too shonen but that’s it
jojo’s bizarre adventure - TEH manga for 1-2-3-4-5-6-‘7’ series, the last one feature a new and ‘fresh’ cast and a new title, this manga is godlike
one piece - i disliked latest chapter (new enemy=new and shonen techniques) but until there is one of the best shonen out
berserk - until the first eclipse IS the best manga (seinen) ever. latest chapter are awful, miura went back to shonen
Yeah man I kinda noticed, but ya know if they make that manga/manhwa into a fighter that would be to fucking awesome! I only read up until Vol. 11, NEED To DL Vol. 12+ sometime XD, but Cygnus is my fav. character I can just IMAGINE his movements when fights.
@Rengoku, hey man if u want the RAWs for Part 7, I can PM u where to get them :tup:
Also I’ll give some of what u guys mentioned a read I SERIOUSLY need something to read right now >_<
That has gotta be the most intelligent and well-thought out thing you have ever posted in the history of your entire existence. And it’s not JUST because you agreed with something I liked, it’s because… Well, actually, yeah. I guess that is why I love you.
rEAD first Vol. of Geshiken and I’m lovin’ it! I think the main reason is cuz they use arcade sticks to play fighting games, which is a rarety in some manga series :D.
BTW if anyone hasn’t read Hunter X Hunter, start now cuz the manga is continuing again :rock:
I used to get the Bio-Booster Armor Guyver manga when I was younger. I still have most of the ones I got from back then. I never learned how the story finished because the creator went on hiatus at some point in the '90s. I loved the art for all those action scenes, like when the Guyver would charge up his gravity cannon. Those drawings were second only to Ron Lim’s Powerblasts.
If you get a chance see if you can check out the new Guyver anime. It’s much closer to the manga plus they tossed in a few extra things. Like, they really built up the relationship between Sho and his father. Character designs are by Yoshihiko Umakoshi of Berserk, Grappler Baki (OG Version), Hokuto No Ken AKA Fist of the North Star and the first Street Fighter Zero (Alpha) anime fame. All 6 of the DVDs are out and they ran it on Cable, the Scifi Network I think.
Guyver is one of my favs, the manga is not finished and still on going, some crazy shit happens let me tell you, Agito is just too bad his good his like the wesker of the guyver series lol, he does some mad shit later on in the comics, still my fav character though.
I agree the new series was good and the old one was one of the 1st anime series I watched I was hooked after that.
They really need to redo the movie, not thats theirs anything really wrong with steve wangs movie but with a bigger budget they could really do something great.
It could be a sleeper hit like blade1, all I would ask is that Sho uses those frequency blades every 10 seconds yea chop chop slash.
