Captain Invictus posted:Jesus. That was so good, I can't believe it. I wound up binging the whole thing over the last few days, made for great work-readin'. It pretty much never slowed down and was incredibly brutal the entire time with a tinge of melancholy most of the way through it. My biggest criticism was the introduction of multiple characters, including the girl in the very first chapter, who show up in maybe half a dozen chapters each throughout the entire 162 chapter run. Never try reading Wolf Guy, then. It is so incredibly lovely that it makes Akumetsu look worse by retrospect.

AnonSpore posted:The mystery then becomes "why did anyone want to remake it." That is why it can make Akumetsu seem retroactively worse if you read it. That they chose to remake an obscure comic about torture and rape says a lot about the writer and artist, which in turn says a lot about the events in Akumetsu.

It kind of stopped being funny while veering toward mild body horror, but no one acknowledged the change. Everyone reacted to grotesque physical transformations and warping reality as though they were interchangeable with the reactions from the early chapters (which were limited to some dude acting silly). They never really made it clear why anyone would ever want to eat bread that would transform you into a lovely pun/hideous freak.

Blhue posted:I'm pretty sure it is the former. The impression I got was it was some sort of uncontrollable pyrokinesis that manifests periodically. According to the latest chapter, there have been a bunch of psychics in that town but their powers always turn against them. So, he may or may not be the arsonist but he is certainly a pyrokinetic.

ChibiSoma posted:That's what makes Wave finally snapping and delivering one of the greatest punches of all time all the more satisfying! Some poo poo is about to go the gently caress down and it's going to be rad. The only thing that has changed is that the new batch of one-dimensional villains are more blatant with their atrocities. Neither the scope nor the degree of their comically evil deeds surpasses the crap from earlier in the manga. I guess that is probably intentional, as the PM's son lacks even the tiny amount of subtlety and guile the PM has.

Senor Candle posted:So I just started reading a lot of stuff I think you would classify as Seinen? For Urasawa I've finished Pluto and have the first three volumes of 20th Century Boys. From Tezuka I've got Dororo, Apollo's song, the first volume of Buddha(haven't read it yet), and I've read the first 4 or 5 of Black Jack. I'm not sure if these would be classified as Shonen or not but I've also got all of the Shigeru Mizuki books that Drawn and Quarterly put out, and have really enjoyed Showa: History of Japan and Onwards Toward Our Noble Deaths. I also picked up the first two volumes of Keiji Nakazawa's Barefoot Gen. I've been really enjoying reading about WW2 era Japan from the Japanese perspective. Do you guys have any recommendations of other manga based on that subject? Is this even the right thread? http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Kuroi-Ame-ni-Utarete It is... kind of intense.

Politicians suck. Always have, always will. Akumetsu was a violent power fantasy in which those lovely politicians got what was coming to them in a way that will never happen in reality. The story was secondary to this central premise.

Pewdiepie posted:Baki is one of the most beautifully drawn manga on the market. Just admit it... You aren't comfortable reading a manga featuring extremely jacked nude men. Not when they are made entirely from sebaceous tumors, no. Stick a needle in a Baki character's face and it would burst, spraying gritty pus and hair all over the place.

I like inuyashiki because it is following up on the sadly underutilized 'virtuous old man gets super powers' concept from gantz. Like, whenever the old man got an appearance in gantz it always seemed like he would have been a way better protagonist than weepy douchebag kurono. Pity the actual manga is middling at best, though.

Turin Turambar posted:I thought the elephant on the room would be all the drama and tragedy there is once it reaches a certain point. The mood really switches gears there, more than with the romance. You can't say that is quaint and charming and funny anymore. Uh, lots of stories have drama and tragedy. The only vaguely unique aspect there is how it was like 80% or so Ran's fault and then she kept making it worse.

Stand alone complex is better than anything Shirow has ever written. Dude created a neat setting but he is kind of terrible even outside of his proclivity for drawing greasy horse porn. Appleseed was finished, as it was only ever a very short series. The manga is probably better than all of those incoherent cg films, but it is still merely okay.
