Oh, joy. Cyberbulling. That'll get the attention of your lovely local news station. Also, think of the children or something.

People need to stop recommending good manga. I'd gotten the number of long-term open tabs in my browser down to a reasonable dozen or so, but over the last few weeks it's ballooned to nearly three times that because of mangas I want to read. Life is hard.

Heard of it. It's supposed to be hyper violent, right? I love hyper violence. It depends on how grimdark it is and if it is grimdark how that's executed.

It's pretty drat hyper-violent, and while it's grimdark I don't feel like it goes overboard (there's way less rape than most of its contemporaries, for instance).

I'm thinking you'll like it, give the first episode a watch on YouTube and then look up 2 and 3 if you dig it- even if you don't like, I'm super curious what you make of it, it's really interesting and bizarrely artsy for an early 90s cyberpunk OVA.

e: also, it's Guts, not Gatts. "Gatts" is a mis-romanization from the early scans. Also also, yeah, he's kind of a huge rear end in a top hat- he chills out a tad after the Black Swordsman arc (and the Golden Age arc is a flashback to before he was a huge rear end in a top hat) but part of the appeal of Berserk, frankly, is that Guts is a legit insane person rather than a typical fantasy protagonist.

I do, but most comics I haven't started get forgotten forever unless I inadvertently look at them. Once I've read enough chapters to confirm that a manga is good and I like it, then it goes onto an appropriate list, and the tab can close.

it is theoretically possible for something to handle rape well, but ive seen it done like, twice

and when it's mishandled it's usually so bad that the story would be way better without it

I try to limit myself to just a few series. If you feel like you're getting bogged down by way too many entertainment outlets, try to write them down on Notepad or Quick Note and start watching/listening/reading/playing them little by little. I read this book (and a few essays that came as further recommendation) that the Dillinger Escape Plan dude recommended when mentioning why he named his fourth record Option Paralysis and it made a lot of sense: Just try to concentrate on a few things.

This thread goes on weird tangents sometimes, but this is a good opinion. You're a good lady, Endorph. :)

(pretend I quoted endorph's post about the acceptable amount of rape being 0 here, iOS app is janky as poo poo)

:agreed:

on the other hand, however, you're going to be looking really goddamn hard to find 80s and early 90s OVAs in that mold that have no sexual violence in them whatsoever, so the fact that Genocyber just kind of briefly acknowledges "yes this is a thing" and moves on is still a pretty big step up for its time and genre, compared to the rock dude in Ninja Scroll or... Wicked City in general or Mad Bull 34 in general (for example).

Maybe you should just watch good modern rape-less animes, like Girls und Panzer, Gundam: Reconguista in G, and Yowamushi Pedal.
