Cobain and Hendrix is actually a really weird match-up that wouldn't make much sense in reality, to be honest.

It's the one problem I have with this series because it's hard to imagine the sound of things and then synch it up to to the action of the comic. Worked best in the chapter where the bassist was entering a singing competition since the lyrics are spelled out in the margins so listening to the song gave me a better sense of the flow of things. These two chapters in the jam session just left me confused since I am familiar with both songs, but nothing about them really clicks in my head.

I might be the only one following it, but if anyone else is reading Hachi, the current manga from the Jitsu Wa author, what do you think?

I don’t know if I’m really blown away, mostly because a manga about a weird mangaka academy with everyone angsting about how hard it is to become mangakas has a bit of a wank quality to it. The MC is ultra generic and his hot-blooded rivalry with the pretty boy artist is even more so. On the other hand, I love Handa perhaps more than is completely seemly.

Brought To You By posted:Goblin slayer starts off with a really lazy way of showing basic competency on the part of the main character by having the first party die because they were literally untrained and way too overconfident. The rape was purely shock value to draw attention to the story itself and it's dropped relatively early in the first volume in favor of a more standard approach to fantasy world + adventurer guild stories. I really don't know if I'd say it's pretty drat good after all that either. This sounds like Made in Abyss with less pedophilia tbh. Generic poo poo with tons of shock value and clumsy emotional manipulation frontloaded in to trick people into thinking it's deep

Speaking of manga about drawing manga, I really enjoyed the (completed) manga Rin. I really liked something about manga, though I can't quite pinpoint what it is. edit: Is that guy doing anything else? I know he also did the manga about the singer/band.

I mean, half the appeal is seeing what utterly bizarre poo poo the main characters are going to stumble upon next. Goblin Slayer is just generic D&D fantasy.

One thing I did think about the early chapters of Hachi was that the really intense relationship between the protagonist and his pretty-boy rival seemed a tiny bit more likely to go somewhere than in other manga of its ilk. I mean, I ain’t exactly holding my breath, but it’d be neat if that does eventually happens.

I find that a lot of shounen/competitive manga (or games or whatever) where there's a male protagonist and rival character have more romantic tension between the protagonist and rival than with the actual intended love interest. They should just start giving male protagonists female rivals (assuming the romance is hetero to begin with, anyways).

The reason I brought this up was I thought the most recent Hachi arc was pretty good. If you gave up on it earlier, see if the recent chapters do anything for you.Ytlaya posted:I find that a lot of shounen/competitive manga (or games or whatever) where there's a male protagonist and rival character have more romantic tension between the protagonist and rival than with the actual intended love interest. And in Hachi, he plainly mistakes Mikaya for a cute girl when he first meets him. (He does look a lot like Aizawa, I still think.)

Rin felt sort of honest and realistic. Much preferred it to Bakano or whatever. The mangaka did Beck which is also pretty aspirational, extols the virtues of hard work etc.

One thing I liked about Rin is how it created this sort of expectation that his attractive "riajuu" classmate was bad or misleading him or something (with all the "if you make the wrong choice it'll be bad" stuff), but it turns out that she was actually good all along (but just not a romantic option). Like, I kept expecting it to take some negative angle on the type of person/lifestyle represented by her (with the parties and stuff), but it turns out she and her boyfriend were actually cool and even though clubbing isn't the protagonist's thing it also wasn't condemned or anything.

Plutonis posted:I read Goblin Slayer for the Goblin Slaying It's fascinating. he Light novel is still ongoing, an anime is around the corner and like 3 spin-off manga series are running concurrently and all of them getting the yenpress treatment. I half expect a mobile game or something to come out now. It just blows my mind that something so mediocre is doing so well.

Honestly I'd be totally down with goblin slayer if it was a bit campier and 100% less rapey. The concept of a low level throwaway enemy being a massive threat to humanity because they fight smart and in huge numbers is fun and interesting, and it can make for some smart action scenes if you aren't just trying to squeeze in as much shock value as you can fit on the page.

Bungou Stray Dogs 65 is up. We finally learn something about the mysterious "Great War." It always struck me as one of the weirder parts of the setting; I guess the existence of ability users and the absence of the "real" versions of various 19th- and 20th-century authors led to a timeline where either World War I or World War II didn't happen until around the 1990s. It's good to see a reminder that Mori is not a good guy despite the "Tripartite Tactic" thing.

tweet my meat posted:Honestly I'd be totally down with goblin slayer if it was a bit campier and 100% less rapey. IIRC, they aren’t even the biggest threat to humanity. They’re still scrubs by monster standards, and any expert adventurer can chew through whole armies of them comfortably enough. It’s just that fighting even a semi-sentient enemy in large numbers is a difficulty cliff that new adventurers have real trouble getting over, so they tend to end up dead (or worse) before they git gud, and life outside heavily-defended settlements tends to be nasty, brutish, and short. A story about a veteran adventurer serving as a teacher for newbies could be pretty fun and charming if it got rid of the gross shock value poo poo (I mean, you can even keep it a little gritty and scary if you want, but we really do not need your rejected mindbreak doujin material, thankyouverymuch) and was less interested in shilling the MC as this badass loner rear end in a top hat and more in developing the cast around him and having them be cool, too.

I read a dozen or so chapters and it was an interesting take on low level fantasy stuff, but there's so much rape. I think it's cheap enough to use it as a tool to inspire dread and horror because there are less revolting ways to do that, but the amount of sexual violence borders on fetish territory. Maybe it gets better down the line, but I'm not staying to find out.

I feel like the goblin slayer dude didn't really believe on his premise 100% so he tried to add some pervy,rapey elements to get the horny audience. It's kinda like when Aiki started and it was just porn but the plot started getting so good the author ended up dropping the nudity for the most part. I feel like Goblin Slayer will end up getting the same PG treatment if it gets an anime. We can just watch that instead!

Brooding, grumpy hypercompetent badass with all the answers is really overdone.

It should probably be noted that the Goblin Slayer LNs seem way, way lighter on the rape, and that appears to be an unfortunate liberty the manga is taking.

What gets me is that it’s pretty much the only kind of fanservice in the story. Like, sheez, if we’re going to show boobs, can’t we have some happy, consensual nudity up in here? Does it have to be rape o’clock every hour?

The Rising Of Shield Hero is a pretty good isekai. Sure he builds a harem and has a cat girl slave but he's not actually trying to gently caress anyone and values their contributions to his party on their demonstrated value as fighters.

Shield Hero is pretty much power fantasy for incels. All attractive women are manipulative, lying bitches, all attractive men are callous and cruel chads and the only females you can trust are your pure, underage, fanatically loyal slaves. Its truly something "special".
