Figured I would poke my head in to say god drat, I Am A Hero is good. Welp back to reading.  edit: It's so good that I think I'm somehow gonna manage to shotgun the whole series in one sitting. I most certainly intended that pun.

Well, I'm all caught up on I Am A Hero and it is nothing short of fantastic. Gonna be starting Parasyte soon at this thread's recommendation.

Yeah the problem Death Note had is that it got popular. Like, way popular. And becoming way popular means that you have to keep it going because otherwise, y'know, it ends. There's a specific moment where you can tell the comic is ABOUT to come to a logical close, but it just doesn't for some reason and from then on it feels kinda disingenuous. The actual ending is still pretty good regardless despite how drawn out the series became, not to spoil anything of course.

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen "hurry up and X!" or "It can't be helped" I'd probably have enough change to fill a sock to beat up the translators with.

Speaking of nickels I just finished reading Nickelodeon at someone's endorsement over in the Post Your Favorite Anime Halloween Event Fastball Special forum and it was pretty good. Not all mangas need to be long and winding 3000 chapter epics. It had that same feel about it that Franken Fran does where each story wraps up in a neat disconnected little bow, but sometimes they bleed into each other just enough to go "yep this is all happening in the same world for some reason". Except with like 8 pages per strip.

 I will never get tired of Dowman Sayman's silly anime lesbians. This man has a good sense of humor. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Nov 1, 2014 |

The art in Berserk is also beautiful most of the time and it really is worth a read if you can stomach them making no bones about the amount of gruesome violence in the lovely world it takes place in. edit: Well several bones are made about it, I guess, but most of them are broken.

Captain Invictus posted:This is a joke post right, you do know that Hiro is an actual name in Japan like John or Ben would be in the US? What he means is that they rely on the significance of the name being an element of the story more often than he'd like. I haven't seen it enough to know if I'd agree or disagree though.

Laputanmachine posted:That would exclude series such as Qualia of Purple and I Am a Hero from recommendations, so you can kindly stuff it. I don't think he was saying "Only link to manga you can buy and don't link to the online reading sites", I think he was saying it would be a good idea to add links to where you can buy it.

WickedHate posted:Doesn't linking to scanlations of legally avalible series' count as Because of the sheer amount that you can't purchase in languages other than Japanese (or at all), it's become a pretty big gray area. This thread exists, so I'm going to err on the side of no, it doesn't. At least, not on SA.

Plethora posted:Saikano Immediately after I finished reading this I was like, "well, I probably should not have done that" because it made me very sad. Which is I guess a good thing and an endorsement. Read this if you want to be incredibly sad. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Apr 30, 2015 |

Tulul posted:Saikano is like a Skinner box but the lever just punches you in the balls. Very good, though. This is probably the best descriptor of it I've seen. About halfway-ish through I was seriously considering just stopping and not finishing it, because I just didn't want it to get any more depressing. I knew it was going to bum me out, but it was great enough that I felt like I'd be doing it a disservice to just pussy out when it made me uncomfortable. In the end I stuck it out and it definitely did get worse, but I don't regret it as much as I thought I would.
