Could someone recomend me mangas/artists that are really good at conveying action sequences? I was told to start with Dragonball Z, but there are probably other (better?) examples out there.

e: couldn't find a general manga q's thread

For more realistic fighting type stuff there's:

Shamo (although it ends up getting bad about halfway through)
Teppu
All-Rounder Meguru

All of those are pretty good with action stuff. You could argue that Holyland belongs on that list but it's not everyone's favorite.

It's Ashura; the only reason it's misspelled as Ashua is because the first site to rip it from the scanlators hosed it up and then every other site ripped it off them without bothering to even check, and none of them can be hosed to fix it

There's also Holyland, if you feel like also reading about depression.

Sorta tooting my own horn but Shigurui does action really really well if you're okay with the extreme gore and homoeroticism that goes with portraying samurai culture.

Ages ago back in Jr High I used to read a series of novels about a person from our world transported to another, so Isekai stuff has a somewhat nostalgic appeal to me. Reincarnated as a Sword and Knights & Magic are my guilty pleasures. I hadn't heard how bad Re:Monster was but I'm glad this thread is here as I can happily avoid it now.

I prefer the Manga to the LN/WN translations though. Somehow I always get this feeling when reading translated novels that the differences in grammar and sentence structure is leaving out a lot of inflection and detail. Manga still has some issues with that but less so. I don't know if the reason there's huge delays and gaps between chapters in the 'Reincarnated as a Sword' manga are due to long delays between chapters or if there's a lot of chapters and we're just very slowly catching up, but I hope more becomes available soon.

Teppu was great and I wish it had been longer.

All Rounder Meguru is by far the most realistic / technical fighting manga I've seen.

Teppu has a virtually all female cast, All Rounder Meguru is maybe 1/4 to 1/3 female. They beat the poo poo out of each other just as well as the dudes :v:

Just stop reading it as soon as you feel it gets boring or dumb. Because it doesn't get better from there. Same for Shamo. When they're good they're good, but those two mangas have about the worst endings around and some of the worst arcs stuck in here and there.

The anime of it is really good too, though more for atmosphere than the action.

Teppu was insanely good when it was around, but had to be canned for some reason I can't remember and had a really bad and abrupt ending.

I started reading Teppu on recommendation and I enjoy this manga. I am actually shocked by how lovely the protagonist is, in terms of personality not in quality of writing. Like, I'd heard people say that this was a fight manga where the main character would be the antagonist in anything else and she is that in spades. It's pretty great and I'm torn between wanting to see her win and wanting to see her get her rear end kicked.

drat, All Rounder Meguru is definitely starting to fill the hole that Teppu left. It's a really solid series if you like down to earth, technical fighting with good female characters, even if it primarily focuses on the male MC.

Shigurui is also a fun read if you're looking for a batshit insane samurai gore fest.

Sadly, the perfect name for that idea is already being used by Dr. Stone.

It's not quite meth, but here's a spread of the main character's plan to create the ultimate drug:

I used to get so confused as to why dog pee was needed for Sodium Bicarbonate, until someone mentioned that swap in the Dr Stone thread. Though I think cat pee contains more ammonia. If only Senkuu had known, he could have harvested the lion bladders.

Yeah, I think I know what you mean. I've reached the first reset, and decided to stop. Still interesting trip though.

Kengan Ashua - Yeah this is action alright. Pretty cool, I like it!
Shamo - This is some dark poo poo. I'll keep reading.
Teppu - it's like the rear end in a top hat antagonist from a teen show is the main character.
Shigurui - not sure yet, kinda violent and gay, as promised.

Still a couple I need to go through, but so far so good.
