Dandadan consistently putting out the absolute hardest 2 page action spreads in manga. Every single one of these characters is just some no-name mook   Dandadan - Chapter 147

That's just fantastic, especially the rocker dude with the witches hat on the left. e: is Dandadan as insane as the premise and all artwork I randomly googled suggests? If so , I might just have to read it. Elissimpark fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Apr 9, 2024 |

I can assure you that Dandadan is 100% worth your time. Please please please read Dandadan if you like weird manga with amazing fight scenes. When I say it has consistently the best 2 page spreads in manga atm, I am being completely serious. Berserk levels of detail.     Dandadan - Chapters 111-113 Azubah posted:Is this the show netflix was hyping for releasing in october? That's the one. It's being done by Science Saru, so the production quality should be pretty high - which is needed with how good the artwork is in the manga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XJxfbN36Uw

Dandadan reminds me a lot of Dr McNinja sometimes in that it is completely unhinged but very internally consistent in following its madcap premises to their logical/insane conclusions.

I can't speak for others but Dandadan was hard for me to get into because the first chapter is focused almost exclusively around the teenage female lead getting stripped to her underwear and repeatedly threatened with rape. I have heard it gets better but getting past that initial part was hard for me and I feel like it's worth warning about. (Sorry not like trying to be a downer about the series, that just caught me off guard when I went to read it and it was an unpleasant experience so trying to make a clear warning.)

Yeah it is a hard rear end sell and I really hope that the anime tries to uh... trim that down to make it less of a "um what i ain't watching this" moment

The trailers I've seen clearly indicate it will be there, but hopefully less skeevy. It at least has grounding in actual UFO lore, which includes a lot of horny poo poo and sublimated sexual anxieties, as these sorts of social phenomena tend to do. The manga author has done a lot of research and there are a lot of deep pulls from UFOlogy, but one can't get over the impression that he decided to lead with this particular angle for obvious audience-pandering reasons. It does get much better after that, but I can't fault anyone for tapping out.

There's no actual assault or anything like that, but there are definitely a few full on scenes. Nothing to that degree happens again, and it's isolated to the first chapter

This week's Transformer's #7 Context: Starscream has been a real bastard in this series. Killing people, Autobots and Decepticons. He's cannibalized 'Cons to rebuild others. In a recent issue he attacked Ravage. Cue this scene.

Neither were some of the artists, but they seem to have settled on "big cat" at this point.

It very much gets across the idea of a war that's been running for millions of years that everyone will do whatever they have to to survive and win. Also it has Cliffjumper flipping Starscream the bird in one panel.

Nobody calls Soundwave uncrasamatic!Brazilianpeanutwar posted:I am very much into - explaining weird fictional science with an almost autistic attention to detail - You'd probably like the later arcs of Hunter X Hunter Just absolute page after page word salad on how powers interact and operate. Latest arc is effectively a murder mystery on a city sized boat. Be forewarned that it stops at chapter 400 due to the authors health issues, and it's pretty much been in hiatus hell for half a decade now.

An interesting precedent to set that mutant "power" is faster than light. Not even fast, but truly instant. If it does not need to propogate could Storm trigger thunder on a planet galaxies away?

It's probably not all that new now that I think about. Surely there are instances of telepathic mutants communicating with people at astronomical distances that appears to ignore the limitations that transmission waves would normally adhere to.

First issue of House of X has Xavier talking to everyone on the planet simultaneously. There's definitely been psychic communication between Krakoa and Arrako that didn't have whatever delay there is between something traveling from Earth to Mars there would be at the speed of light.

Apparently Xavier's daughter's brainwaves travel far enough to be stored in Cerebro and she's in Shi'ar space.

Nessus posted:That's literally what she does. Fortunately, she found some kind of giant dyson sphere! I'm not sure if she somehow got manipulated into teleporting there and remembered where it was, or if she just held her breath previously. I think the most Claremont ever explained re: that was that she was taken there against her will once.

They actually explained this. With the help of Forge, they made a psychic relay between Earth and Mars using clones of Xavier's brain.Wouldn't surprise me at all if they made something similar using the Krakoan gates and Shiar space.
