I'm very confused. So was it like Ichi The Killer? Movie first, manga after?

I wouldn't know actually....that's why I'm asking.

I've read the Battle Royale manga, it's pretty good. But I am not into manga or anime very much... well not the extent of you guys.

You mean the Battle Royale manga that was made into the Battle Royale movie? That movie is nasty.

Well, there was a book first. The manga is close to the book. The movie is different from the manga and the book. A lot different, but they're still good.

Well, we are more fortunate here as we can get mangas easily.

Currently have Puppet Circus, Hunter X Hunter, Yuyu Hakusho and Eyeshield 21.

One Piece is also gread reading.

Yeah, lately I've been downloading manga scanslations and stuff. I'm becoming more and more interested in these Japanese comics; unlike American comics, they're so diverse and there's a lot of interesting ones I've never knew existed.

 

Lately I've been reading Tenjo Tenge scanslations, Midori no Hibi (getting a bit redundant though), and a bunch of others.

 

Also, I've been getting the Rurouni Kenshin manga. Up till now, I've only seen the OVAs and the butchered up cartoon series which used to air on Cartoon Network. The manga is a hell of a lot better; nothings been edited out and the cartoon series was based on the manga in the first place, and not vice versa. Only thing that annoys me is that this series now has a publisher in the U.S. so all the scanslations have been pulled off the web, and I had to resort to purchasing the volumes from a store -- though I'm glad to say nothing's been edited out, but it'll take years before the whole series is released into english.

 

So, anyone Japanese comic fans here? Post comments/whatever.

you been visiting snoopy cool?

I read some mangas. My favorite manga is One Piece, but I also read Ranma 1/2, Mobile Suit Gundam, and Samurai X.

Ranma 1/2 kicked ass.

I don't think there's a manga called Samurai X. You're probably just thinking of Rurouni Kenshin.

 

Samurai X was the name the Kenshin OVAs were released under due to name ownership issues (some BS like that) with another company that had the rights to the original name "Rurouni Kenshin." Yeah, it can get pretty confusing; but Kenshin was never a Samurai.

 

I guess Ranma 1/2 is pretty popular with some of the members here -- guess I'll check it out, if I can find some sources to download. heh

BTW, where'd you get that Sean avatar? And isn't Third Strike a little too technical for your taste? :lol:

Noir owns every anime in existence...Well, maybe not Full Metal Alchemist. :lol:

I stopped watching Noir after like the 6th episode. I dunno, it has a slow start and I just could not get over the fact that though the creators were aiming for a certain element of realism, there was just no blood whatsoever dispite all the violence. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some idiot who gets an orgasm over seeing some blood, but if the show aims for a certain amount of realism, you'd think there'd be some blood when people get shot.

 

Still, I haven't seen the rest of it, so I can't say much for the entire series save those I've seen.
