Check out his third manga, Destroy and Revolution. It's different enough from the others to be worth reading but the guy definitely knows what theme he wants to write about.

Knights of Sidonia was always good, but ever since Tsumugi showed up it's been fantastic. I wish it had a more regular release schedule so we could justify having a thread for it.

Izana and Tsumugi are the greatest. And I love how Tanikaze is stuffing his face in nearly every noncombat scene he appears in.

Is there actually going to be an anime? I thought it only showed up in fake upcoming season pictures, like Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer.

I really like the romcom side of Sidonia,
Me too, the juxtaposition of standard romcom stuff with photosynthesizing intersexed characters, cyborg limbs, clones, talking bears, and a giant tentacled alien hybrid with the mind of teenage girl is absolutely hilarious.

At this point I barely even care about the original storyline. I want Nihei to just go ahead and do a transhuman slice of life series.

Do people read Junji Ito's Uzumaki because they think it's scary or because they think it's hilarious? I started reading it for for the first time last night and all I could think was "this is silly." Is that kind of reaction expected?

Like I said, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask (this forum has so few threads!) and I checked and Uzumaki was apparently serialized in some seinen mag so it kinda counts I guesss. It's just hard to gauge what tone it's going for and what kind of reaction I'm supposed to have.
I'd certainly characterize most of Ito's work as gross, unsettling, and sometimes hilarious rather than scary.

Not sure if this is the correct thread to ask, but I'm interested in starting to watch the Ghost in the Shell series but I have no idea where to start off. Any recommendations?
Basically there are two continuities, there's the movie continuity which is just:

Ghost in the Shell
GitS 2: Innocence

And the TV series continuity, which is:

GitS: Stand Alone Complex (26 episode series)
GitS: SAC: 2nd GiG (26 episode series)
Solid State Society (TV movie)

I'd watch the movies first, then the TV stuff. Be warned that Innocence is generally considered the worst of it all, so don't let that put you off the TV series. It is very pretty though.

Two more chapters of Immortal Hounds (that series where everyone is immortal and losing your immortality is a communicable disease). The action sequences are pretty funny because nobody involved cares about dying: http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Immortal-Hounds/Vol-001-Ch-004--Man--I-Really-Hate-Him?id=184790

I guess the vectors come from our world or something since the police don't seem to know what the word "dentist" means. That certainly explains why they want immortality, but not why they need to get rid of 3 immortals first.

What traces of moral ambiguity Akame ga Kill began with have long since vacated the premises. The new group of antagonists are literally all rapists, cannibals, or pedophiles.

The extra part at the end of 5 about visiting her old college manga club is pretty great.

Also, I never realized she also did that series about VR MMO counseling (with lots of fight scenes.)

EDIT: The last few chapters of Mozuya are all fantastic. Bantarou and his grandmother own. Master M is hilarious.

That's like a Veritas-level ending. I would have assumed it was canceled but why would it be canceled in the middle of getting an anime?

Keyman is pretty good. Dr Necro drags it down a bit but from what I remember the fanservice is mostly relegated to title and extra pages instead of the story itself. And other than that the art is great.

Hibiki is a like a shounen where people get befriended because her literature power level is incredibly high.

I don't even know what to think about last chapter. I like the subversion of the "creepy room full of photos" cliche.

I always assumed TG's popularity came from the edgy cannibalism psycho violence and the art looking kind of neat, because the writing is mediocre, there are way too many characters, and the action is confusing and hard to follow.

IIRC an ultra-rich guy wanted to be immortal so he developed memory copying tech and genetically engineered super smart clones, I'm hazy on this part but I think a clone or clones woke up and escaped with the technology and decided to improve the world through murder.

The akumetsu masks were miniaturized versions of the mind transfer machine that would copy and upload the memories of suiciding clones the moment before they died.
