Manga

Luigiman777 · 05-29-2008, 07:22 PM

Lately, i've been intrested in manga and anime. My favorites are Midori Days, Dr. Slump, Bobobo and Death Note. What about you guys?

**Booyakasha** · 05-29-2008, 11:24 PM

I don't usually bother much with manga, but a friend recommended the crap out of the 'Witchblade' manga, so I picked it up yesterday. Not half bad.

Jere · 05-30-2008, 02:47 AM

I read some of them usualy better then the Anime but not always.
Some examples of better Manga than Anime is:
Love Hina (Decent ending)
Full metal alchemist (Damn the plot changed alot in the Anime)
Pokemon (it's better then the anime allright)
ok there was some examples

Dr. Furball · 05-30-2008, 05:11 AM

I've kinda been wanting to read Bo-bobo myself. Right now, though, I'm collecting TokyoPop's run of Lupin III. The first series is amazing. Plenty of twist endings and great slapstick. The second series, Lupin III:World's Most Wanted, is a bit wackier and feels pretty ridiculous at times, which, in this case, is not a good thing.

Kevrosini · 05-31-2008, 01:10 AM

I don't read much manga. But I sometimes watch a few manga vids, a few examples:

Armageddon (good story)
Death note (pretty decant)
Blood: The last Vampire ( I love this one, only for the blood letting)
Ghost in the shell (enjoyable storyline)
Kai Doh Maru (Total kick ass)
Razor blade smile(ok this one is total ****, if you see this please don't buy)

As for anime? It's not my thing!

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 05-31-2008, 03:34 AM

Pokèmon is an awful anime but the manga looks good. When I see Team Rocket in every episode, I wanna kill things.

Jere · 05-31-2008, 09:19 AM

But you didn't hear the awful Dubbing they did in sweden.

Galefore · 05-31-2008, 03:48 PM

Yeah, but we had 4Kids at work here. You don't yet know the meaning of assrape until you hear this ****.

As for Manga, I've drifted apart from it. I always loved reading Case Closed, Basilisk, and Vagabond, though.

Maynard James Keenan · 05-31-2008, 05:15 PM

I haven't read manga in a about a year. I used to get Dragon Ball and One Piece volumes, as well as buy Shonen Jump every month.

I also used to get the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga. Original, not the Duelist stuff, though I do have a copy of Vol. 1 of Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duelist.

The thing is that they took the english dub and translated it right of, they did something crappy crappyer, the puns doesn't make sence and its not just only pokemon, yu gi oh they slaughtered and don't even make me started about Chrono Crusade the theme song in Swedish...*shrugs* Duel masters was ok though.

The point i realy want to say is 4kids made it horrible and our swedish translators made it worse.

A manga i could rekomen if you want to start reading again is .hack it's pretty decent haven't read to far to realy get a good picture byt so far decent.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 05-31-2008, 09:50 PM

I forgot about .Hack! Awesome games and a cool show. I seen some .Hack CCG, I might get into it.

Galefore · 06-01-2008, 12:16 AM

.Hack was so-so. Too much drama in /sign, and too much lame in the anime version of Legend of the Twilight. Still a good concept, I just haven't seen it utilized well yet.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 06-01-2008, 04:34 AM

True, their execution of the property as a whole was fairly poor, though the concept, at least on paper, was solid. I like how they gave a tie in anime with the games.

I agre with you.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 06-02-2008, 01:25 AM

Thanks, Ark. Another good idea with poor execution was Pokèmon E-Reader cards, I never experienced it but I assume you could swipe and catch the PKMN on the games and use 'em in the TCG. Sounds good but obviously failed for some reason. If they should try again with the next games, I'd collect PKMN cards again.

Hey no worries. Thats twice now you've said thanks. I'm the one who gave you the "List of Capcom games, link".

Glad I could help!!!

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 06-02-2008, 02:56 AM

Heh, well, er, it just caught me by surprise

MASALOBOTOMY · 06-12-2008, 03:39 PM
