New chapter of Dungeon Meshi is out. Hopefully death is as temporary as they made it seem for most of the series.

They explained a few chapters ago how resurrection works, and it isn't a guaranteed thing. That'd be a hell of a downer of an ending though.

I don't know whether it would be a good or bad thing to see such an amazing series end so soon. It is definitely one of the best series to come out in recent years. At least in my opinion anyway. If it does end, I'm really looking forward to the author's next work! I've been reading Hard Boiled Black Jack aka Super Doctor K and it is getting me really pumped up to perform some emergency, heroic surgeries. Also punching dudes' faces

Okay, with the way the last half dozen chapters of I am a hero have gone, I take back what I said about a certain character's death being poorly written.

Everything about the world of immortal hounds is so fascinating that I'm committed to finishing it to see where it winds up, and also because I loved uwagaki. This chapter was okay but just introduced a main characters kid that you don't think has been mentioned before just to kill her off to give that dude a conflict of interest in the vectors and rds which doesn't feel like particularly good writing. The pills thing was good like the early chapters had, and the whole "cyanide pill rather than shooting yourself in the face" to deal with a cold is such a hilariously morbid, dark concept due to how the immortality works in IH. I wonder how many chapters we're behind by now, though. Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Aug 4, 2016 |

I don't mind the appearance of the daughter since we always knew he had kids right? The thing is...Man if I lived in a world where I knew RDS existed let alone my pop investigated it (the existence of it isn't a secret to a normal person right?) the last thing I would do is keep treating resurrection like a given and flippantly taking death pills like I'm Jeff Goldblum or something You can just live immortal without having to constantly nonchalantly test it

Until rds became a thing, blinking back to life totally unharmed was just a thing that was. the whole I knew he was a vector because he spoke about dentists was such a brilliant moment in the series because of COURSE a world where the common cold is treated by blowing your own brains out wouldn't have dentists, get a cavity? Eat a bullet. if it gets back to that part of the story and less grotesque evisceration torture, I'd be totally happy with that. Though I suspect we will have to encounter Snow White at least once more, and that will no doubt be chock full of body horror.

I'm going to talk about a manga, Ballroom e Yokoso, and also a bit about manga in general. Japanese comic has a certain degree of fame of having a great, almost ridicule variety of stories and setups, in comparison with European or American comic. From cop drama, to political thriller, to superheroes, horror, science fiction, passing to every kind of romance you can imagine of, to comics about climbing, diving, cooking, strolling, horse riding, collectors, racing, every kind of sport be popular or minority, betting (an entire subgenre almost!), people overclocking computers, well... you get the idea. And also competitive ballroom dancing, the idea behind Ballroom e Yokoso. Manga also have a reputation of being able to take any kind of boring hobby or sport and give you the super intense, vibrant version where everything is amazing. From the 'slightly enhanced' version of the real thing to the over the topness. Something slow like Golf, chess? You can bet some mangaka can do it incredible thrilling, even for people who has no prior knowledge of that activity. quote:Beautiful drawing style So Tomo Takeuchi, a female author which no known previous works (!) comes with Ball e Yokoso, also know as simply Welcome to he Ballroom, and gives an incredible version of the sport of competitive Ballroom dancing. And she gives in spades, with a incredibly intense and just magical version of ballroom dancing, using the typical shonen setup of a young man who starts the sport from zero, and gradually gaining ability through hard work and talent. And god, so much hot bloodness, hype, passion, fury and excitement, in the most unexpected of places, a comic about ballroom dancing. As a master of her work, her drawing conjures human emotions with the easiness of snapping fingers. In fact, even if this isn't the precisely the only 'passionate manga about sport/hobby/art', it's one of the best ones I've read, it has something special that places it above most. quote:A specialty of the author, faces full of emotion Don't be confused, this comic doesn't reach unrealistic, over-the-top craziness with named 'ultimate skills', or ridiculous abilities, or crazy plot twists, while the setup is classical shonen, it's more in the middle territory of shonen and seinen, though inside of the 'realistic' style it's almost bursting out with larger than life emotion and passion. Here, everyone is INTENSE AS HELL. And, it works, instead of resulting too hammy, you get sucked into the story. quote:Dramatic coaches / Manly tears and manly support / Manly sacrifices / Intense hand holding And all thanks to the drawing. Not that the writing is bad or anything, it's clearly above average, but this comic clearly points out that yeah, this is a visual medium, and even more, manga in general usually has a more pure visual narration [than European or American comic], full of style and dynamism, and again this work presents itself as squarely 'manga' in that regard. in special Takeuchi has two strong points, the dynamic in her poses and panelling and a great domain of faces, showing whatever emotion, So this post is going to contain lots of images for us to enjoy! Sorry for people with mobile connections. The story is very straight-forward, simple or 'classic' we could say, the approach used isn't really unique or particularly complex, but with a very good characterization that serves as hook to support the weight of the story beyond the pretty pages. There is a good range in the characters with ambition, jealousy, insecurity, love, companionship, fears, trust, and more playing a role in the story, but I just don't want to spoil it. And you know, despite my remarks of the the intense the drawing, said characterization can be subtle too. quote:Hot guys: While not a 'fanservice' series, it's one of those, of the sexy ones, she can't help but draw sensuality in it, and very appropriately with the theme of dancing, as they also practice some latino dances full of sexiness. Everyone here is hot and fabulous. quote:Hot girls: Do I recommend the series? Well... the author is doing a Togashi on us, the series is right now in a longish hiatus. Ouch. But you know what. I don't regret starting it, in the last weeks I was feeling a bit off, I wasn't getting fun in games nor I was finding any really good tv series, and this comic showed me that doh, of course there are good things out there! edit: oh, it got a nomination in the Manga Taisho Awards. quote:Some jokes Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Aug 4, 2016 |

Gleipnir has recently reached volume 2, and while it's still (probably deservedly) under fetish suspicion, I would contend that its qualities more than outweigh that. The pacing is rather incredible, in any case. Even Shuichi is starting to rise up from his perpetual doormat state, although that one suspicion of his from the most recent chapter is probably still quite correct.

But I dare say that she surpassed him in the setting and storytelling abilities. I especially like the character design for the heart mask dude. Also I love how chaotic neutral the devils are. I like characters that are powerful enough to affect any outcome they desire but just don't give a gently caress.

Reminds me of that fella from guilty gear, the monocled gentleman. He's Satan or some godlike being, I believe, and lives with a hot angel chick(who is also insanely powerful), and even when you beat him he just lays there like "well that was amusing". Even dizzy's nuke instakill doesn't faze him.

Captain Invictus posted:Dorohedoro is a hell of a thing and I struggle to think of a series quite like it. Oh yeah. This is unique as hell. Disgusting, gory, and downright hilarious. It really does look a lot like BLAME!, but it goes in another direction entirely. Bleak dystopian body horror scifi versus... punk horror action comedy? Really a fan of the rather intricate plot, too. I'm not too far in, and there's already been a steady stream of mysteries, solutions to those mysteries, some fakeouts, and new mysteries, and hints for all of them. Man, it's fun.

I haven't read much of Dorohedoro, mostly cause I'm waiting for it to end so I can burn through the whole thing in one fell swoop, but my favorite aspect of the series is how comparatively chill everyone is with how dank, dark, dingy, and disgusting their world is. Everyone dresses like they belong on a Slipknot album cover and they each probably average around two accounts of murder per day, but beneath the leather and the skin-peeling they're all just mild-mannered quirky doofuses.

Dorohedoro is unquestionably my favorite piece of fantasy/sci-fi media (and possibly my favorite manga period). It's also one of possibly only a literal handful of titles I can think of that have genuinely unique fantasy/sci-fi settings.
