Has anyone actually tried animating a manga, in manga style?

FLCL had 2 scenes like that

Not unless you give me some idea what it's about.

quote:

It started with a brutal beating at a pachinko parlor, and now Bakune Young -- maniac, moron or mastermind -- has taken Japan's biggest crime boss as a hostage as Step One of his plan to rule the world! Soon, yakuza, police, hapless detectives and Bakune's former gym teacher collide as Bakune holes up with his hostage in Osaka Castle, and the manly men of the Japanese mob vow to do anything to rescue their boss!

Can Russian-roulette-playing police chief Sorigami salvage the situation with his highly trained army of human robots? Will Johnson Membodeath, the ninja, stop the madness by killing everyone in sight? Savage satire of the action-violence manga genre!

Dear ADTRW,

I recently started reading manga again and have been out of the loop for about a decade. I've read some of the bigger names like Boys On The Run, Punpun and I Am A Hero, but for the most part I have been very much out of the loop. What are the bestest things to have come out in this timeframe. I'm very much into anything, so not at all bothered about genres.

Thanks in advance!

Golden Kamuy, which just recently wrapped up.

speaking of urasawa, I thought asadora! started off strong but it’s been meandering on her high school years. It looks like we’re due for a timeskip (reading the viz english volumes) soon though.

I also read master keaton recently and thought that started off strong as well, though by volume 3 it was apparent how formulaic it would be for its duration. Some chapters are really good post-unification spy fiction with conspiracies and scandals contemporaneous to its date of original publication.

I think as far as urasawa goes, nothing touches the heights monster/pluto/20th century boys did.

People forget, but large portions of the middle of 20th century boys were very meandering. Still a good manga, but I think that's just a part of most of urusawa's manga, especially the longer it goes on.

tbh I’m more bored by Apollo. There are a lot of gods in the world, why are the Greeks monopolizing the spotlight? At least this Leonidas has a cool aesthetic; it’s not like he’s out there dressed as a hoplite.

I agree that the other gods should get more spotlight, but the Greek gods being related does give them more interpersonal character relationships that allow for more drama in the conflicts. It just kind of sucks that due to the nature of the tournament, so far 5 out of 9 rounds will have been from the Greek Pantheon. :nallears:

I'm not an expert but I think his big 3 series are Devilman, Mazinger Z, and Cutie Honey, so start with those and see what you want more of. I think they all have multiple sequals, prequals, and spinoffs.

Cutie honey is culturally important,but I wouldn't really say that it's good. Probably better to stick with Devilman and Mazinger

Any new (last 5 years) horror or thriller manga with a more 'serious' feel to recommend? By serious I guess I mean something with less of a splatter/b-movie vibe - Manhole, Monster, and Homunculus are good examples of what I'm looking for.

It started 7 years ago but Chi no Wadachi (Blood on the Tracks) finished a few months ago if you haven't read that.
