Green Blood ended really abruptly; it felt like it was intended to be much longer. Ah well, it owned anyway.

Japanese medicine seems to be really hosed up with the sheer volume of manga about it. Team Medical Dragon and Say Hello to Mr. Blackjack (warning: miserably depressing) being the better ones I remember. There's a bunch of others, including some Doogie Howser type one which I can't remember the name of with a young doctor who does pediatrics but hospitals hate pediatrics in Japan I guess because they're money losers. I think he ironically has the weirdo flipped-heart disease that is fixed by the big procedure Team Medical Dragon was made for. Dunno if that's an homage or not.

Yeah, the medical accuracy isn't THAT great. He's about dead on with the anesthesiologist being the moneymaker in the operating room however. Reason why is because if someone's going to end up killing you on the table by accident it's probably going to be the anesthesiologist. The difference between unconscious and dead is pretty disturbingly loving thin as far as anesthesia goes. I had tachycardia as a result of a reaction to anesthesia after (thank god not during) an operation and got to experience the joy of being defibbed while awake. Just FYI it loving hurts.

Chas McGill posted:Finished Rock'n'Roll Ricky last night. Thought it was OK. The main threads of boxing and fatherhood work well, yet I didn't get much of a feel for most of the other characters aside from Ricky himself. It was nice to actually finish a manga rather than read up until a translated point and then have to wait indefinitely, though. It also has a more upbeat ending than say, Ashita No Joe.

My guess is probably the series runs out of steam as far as twists go since they burned up all the sensible stuff in the original, to the point of Ban having a cooking competition with the Italian mob in NYC with his only ally being a Hispanic chef named COYOTE BLADES. It probably gets retarded past some point? They've had a death of a fellow employee, a fellow employee having to quit for personal reasons, Ban's GF getting married, Ban trying like every other job in the stupid restaurant, the initial learning curve, various minor fuckups, and now Ban going to a new restaurant. Ban could get that repetitive stress injury, or the new place could start failing, or lovely critics as implied by the first new chapter. The rest has all kinda been done already; including newer employees feeling like Ban is making GBS threads on them for correcting their mistakes.

Pierson posted:I think maybe the author of Wolfsmund was playing a long game and the first few creepy volumes were setups for the current ones where the smug rear end in a top hat antagonist is about to get his dumb face pushed in. I punched out when he had a little girl subjected to disgusting invasive searches to prove her escort wasn't really her mom. I just looked at it again since I was surprised to see an update after so long.

Yeah, Ban finding out that the guy is at least as serious about being a food critic as Ban is about being a chef was cool and then we kinda slipped into a lamer version of Shokugeki No Souma.

I was about ready to come here and say exactly that. Did the mangaka just run the gently caress out of steam or did he have a separate writer he didn't tell anyone about that did the first part of the series and that guy left or something?

I heard about Goblin Slayer and then found out it was based on a light novel so I figured it would be bad and it is. I really dig Goblin Slayer's design but apparently this is going to be the repeating pattern: Newbie Adventurer Group: Let's go slay some goblins to start out! *They gently caress up something; the guys are brutally killed and the girls are graphically raped into catatonia* Goblin Slayer: Ah, you see, this world is retarded and thinks goblins are fodder because they're individually weak and kinda dumb. They're actually pretty dangerous for newbies but strong adventurers are too stuck up to take goblin slaying quests so newbies get fed to them. These particular newbies forgot to do <blah>. *butchers the poo poo out of the goblins* Priestess: Kyaaa!! *is grossed out by all of the rape and death, follows the slayer anyway* ~repeat~

In a way it's almost fascinating because it reminds me of GATE where the authors weird hosed up views come through insanely strong, only this time it's obviously some dude who I imagine was turned into a raging misogynist by a rape accusation. I mean it's complete poo poo, but still sort of fascinating.

It's "Isekai: Whores and Bitches" basically, where all the other heroes are literal Chads or well-meaning but insanely dedicated dupes. Does he actually execute the hilariously over-the-top rear end in a top hat princess that ruined him?

I thought Gleipnir was kinda interesting for a bit but then it became bad, basically becoming pretty typical trashy seinen that's gore, nudity, and an MC who is utterly worthless and makes the wrong decisions over and over again to disastrous consequences. It's too bad because I kinda like the artist's style. Horikoshi (of BnHA fame) had one of his assistants go make a super-edgy seinen (pygmalion) with a more assertive MC but far dumber premise where some rear end in a top hat with magical powers or whatever makes everyone in mascot costumes at some mascot parade turn into monsters that eat, murder, and rape everything in sight for whatever reason. Notable scenes include a guy getting impaled to death by a boner. Talk about a turn in tone/style from what you were doing before, going from WSJ to edgelord seinen stuff. It's too bad because the guy's art style isn't too bad either- it's obvious he picked up a lot of Horikoshi's style.

Also on the subject of not terrible things Fallen Angels is scanlating Jigokuraku, which is a newish series that has earned a lot of critical praise from other mangaka including Horikoshi Kohei. http://fascans.com/series-en/jigokuraku-en/ Pretty simple base premise: The shogunate discovers a bizarre verdant island where the presumed elixir of life is, but no one they send comes back (in one piece anyway). So they send a big cadre of freakish criminals with high-ranking executioners as their "escorts" to secure it with the promise of freedom to whichever criminal returns with the elixir. poo poo very quickly hits the fan as can be expected.

The art is very stylized and rough at times, it'll take a good studio to avoid it getting Jitsu Wa'd. I have no idea who could do it off-hand. IIRC it also recently won some poll on a fairly large Japanese site for "What would you like to see animated?". Someone will take a crack at it probably.

punk rebel ecks posted:I read the premise in the link and it sounds like Japanese Zootopia. Basically the animals in Beastars while being more humanoid in their designs are far more animal than their Zootopia counterparts. In Zootopia animals don't really have savage instincts they deal with (the whole point of the movie is that they're all civilized sufficiently- it takes a literal drug to make an animal snap), In Beastars most of their natural instincts are something every animal struggles with and it's not uncommon for them to fail at it to disastrous consequences. Beastars is super, super Japanese in the whole vision of it being this society trying REALLY loving hard to be traditionally harmonious and polite, but with this world having a nearly ridiculous amount of differences to smooth over- also with it being a high-school drama. It also makes a stronger effort to differentiate it's version of the pred/prey dynamic (which is herbivore/carnivore). The carnivores in Beastars have far different struggles than the Herbivores past mere perception. Carnivores have to be extraordinarily careful to not injure herbivores depending on their species because their strength differences means even tugging on a smaller herbivores arm to get their attention or forgetting you have claws can cause grievous injury. Herbivores have to struggle against their instincts to be fearful/distrusting/lovely with carnivores because really the majority of them are in fact perfectly normal, nice people who have 0 desire to harm or eat them.

Hel posted:Since people are confessing to not liking Dungeon Meshi I must admit that while I liked it at the start my interest just disappeared when after they resurrect the sister, she just disappears again so they can keep the status quo or whatever instead of having her join the party and have a new goal I don't know if that changes later but that kind of storytelling just completely kills my investment any time it happens Beastars starts out really strong and gets better and better and then it pretty clearly hits this wall where you can tell the mangaka is basically trying to tee up like a dozen different plot threads to all dovetail into eachother at some critical moment- but misses the point that all of that setup itself should be good too instead of coming off like the manga has no idea where it's going with anything. I thought that the whole Legosi/Haru romance thing was handled really well myself however- like they got more reasons than teenaged angst to not really be able to commit to eachother. Even if Haru gets damseled she's still probably one of the strongest female characters I've seen in a manga in a long time. Fabricated fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Mar 28, 2018 |
