-K0K0- said: @ Behna: Khush amdeed Behna, I like your introduction. It took me a few seconds to comprehend such advance urdu (or so it seems to me) but it's very well put. Exactly my thoughts. Great intro though! And yes, my best future blessings on this amazing couple! <3 |

| Thorfinn from the Manga 'Vinland saga' |

| Oh, God. I just love the mangaka to bits! Vinland Saga is the shitz! Have you watched Planetes? |
{ my Anime list } ◍ { my Manga list } |
| I've read planetes; I just had to after catching up to all the vinland saga chapters. The manga (planetes) was mind-blowing - it had all the right emotions. I've watched only like 3 eps of the anime but I couldnt bear it more than that. I think they completely screwed up the manga. I've got it on-hold though, and I'm planning to watch it as soon as I forget the manga :P |

| Thorfinn from Vinland...aaah right right right! And seems like you two are having some fan moments. xD |
|
| @koreye: I meant exactly that! =P The manga, as always, was brilliant. Just as Vinland Saga is. It's so unfair how anime adapted from the greatest manga can be totally worthless even after just 1 episode (that it becomes painful to watch). *sigh* Lol, well, don't push/force yourself. XP @Maling k0k0: Hell, YEAH! You should read it (IF you haven't, that is!). ...and, yup. =D Awesome 'stuff' deserves fan moments, no? ;) |
{ my Anime list } ◍ { my Manga list } |
| Haha, I don't usually go with mangas but i'll take a look if you insist. =) |
|
| I was never a manga fan myself but I started reading about 4-6 months ago and I just love it. It's goes something like this: "Hmm, so what anime should I watch today?" *looks up available anime* "Nope, too long. Nope, too corny. Nope, too much harem for me. Nope, too dramatic for my tastes..." *starts something, tries to get into the mood for it* *watches a bit more* *realizes she's only been 10 minutes into the anime and still hasn't clicked with it* *grumbles & stops watching* "Hmm, why not a manga? It should be relatively shorter..." *starts reading One-Shots* ...et voila! =D So, if you aren't a manga fan (yet), I'd suggest you start by reading One-Shots and try getting into a rhythm until you can't stop! *evil laugh* >=D *fails* *cough, wheeze* *starts laughing, again* *realizes what a bad idea it was* =.=' Annnyywayyyy, hope that helps! =3 |
{ my Anime list } ◍ { my Manga list } |
| LOL! Same's up with me. It's just too damn difficult to pick up a new anime. I donwload so many popular ones I want to watch but there's so much conflict in choosing that I end up watching something crappy and boring! =O Ok then i'll give one shots a try It's hard for hardcore anime onely fans to pick up manga y'know. xD |
|
| Yes, I know. Been there, remember? XP Trust me, you'll slowly get into it. =D ...but try! |
{ my Anime list } ◍ { my Manga list } |
| @Pumpkin It's already there in my PtW! =D And I intend to watch it soon too. @Behna and SSS You know i've been meaning to start on RK but the length and art of the series puts me off sometimes. Then again there are so many different movies and OVAs and i'm lost as to where to start from. Any piece of advices? |
|
Schezar said: Tsuiokuhen. Just that? I don't need to watch the rest fo the episodes or anything? If so then I shall gladly do. |
|
Mr-Pumpkins said: It's one of my favorite anime, as well. =3I have a coolest anime for you its Black Cat k0k0 said: Believe me sweety, you won't regret it. If you're into samurai & swords, that is. It's a gorgeous manga/anime - the plot is captivating, the flow of the story intrigues you and just sucks you in, the art is lovely, as well.Just that? I don't need to watch the rest fo the episodes or anything? If so then I shall gladly do. Start with Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen, move on to Rurouni Kenshin, and finish with Rurouni Kenshin: Seisouhen. You don't need to watch the side stories or the alternate version. Oh, and, in case you're curious, the manga is even better. Actually, it's mind-blowing. <3 |

| I agree with Salim but the reason I wrote that particular sequence is because I watched it the same way but, yes, there's no need to watch the 'prequel' nor the 'sequel' - the original anime is more than enough for anyone to get the plot/story-line. |
{ my Anime list } ◍ { my Manga list } |
| OH well then, gotta give some priorities to it now! Thanks guys! =) Yessh, I LUFFLES samurai and swords! (with romance) |
|
SSS said: k0k0 said: Yessh, I LUFFLES samurai and swords! (with romance) like me! =D but the romance in this is quite subtle! don't worry, it's there, just meant to say: don't watch it for the romance ONLY, it IS a shounen after all... Ofcourse ofcourse. As long as it's there. =D I'm more focused onto the adrenaline pumping action. |
|
| I'd go with schezar here. Tsuikohen is on a completely different artistic level and its not just a summary, but something that can stand on its on. I started with the series and I really coudnt bear it. But I went on cuz ppl said the second season was the best. It had a few decent moments but I found the show to be boring, kiddish and quite ridiculous. If you call still shots with constipated sounds action, then yea the action in the series was amazing. And the humor was too goofish and silly for my taste. In short, the show was completely opposite of what I normally watch: mature seinen stuff which takes its audience seriously and doesnt treat them like 6 year olds with no brains. But in the end I guess it all depends on taste. If you're a sucker for shounen 'action' with goofy humor, dont miss the series. If you're the seinen type, and you're looking for a samurai drama, look no further than Trust and Betrayal. If you're looking for some good samurai shows in general, samurai champloo, sword of the stranger and Afro samurai are pretty decent as well |

| I would agree with that: Tsuikohen is much better in terms of artistry & 'seriousness' (for people who are more into Seinen stuff). For me, I absolutely adored Seisouhen - not only was the art beautiful, it made me cry. *sigh* Hm, I've yet to watch SC. Afro Samurai was pretty decent - I loved the art. It was pretty surreal, to say the least. |

| Lol, I get that ALL the time. I watched half of eppy 1 but got distracted with...Life. *sigh* Not to worry! will finish it this week, 'kay? =D I already love Mugen & Jin. <3 |
{ my Anime list } ◍ { my Manga list } |
| JADOOOO! FINISH WITH SC!!! =OOO Oh and people, like many of you already know and agree with, i'm a dumbass. And I can't differntiate between specific anime terms. Seinen, Yander, Loli (no wait, I DO know this one), mahoujo etc. I have no idea to what these terms apply and likewise, can't differentiate well between two, like seinen and shonen (they both are targeted at a male audience so wth?) |
|
| Shounen is aimed at a younger audience, boys in their teens mostly (Naruto, one piece, Bleach etc). Seinen has mature themes; concept, story and characters that are more realistic. Monster, Akira, Elfen lied, Berserk, hellsing and 20th centure boys are good examples of Seinen. @Jaded - lol...you make it sound like I'm forcing you :P |

| Thankyou Korai! =) What's yandere, tsundere and mahoujo stuff though? |
|
| Oh I see I see... *notes all down* Thankyou for the info behna. =) I must dig into this stuff. So the girl from bakemonogatari is a Tsundere AND a Yandere. |
