...WHY DOES EVERYONE POST IN THIS FUCKING THREAD RIGHT NOW!? FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!!11!1!!

Again, nine is the magic number, despite you having eight days on me. I need to read and grade more mainstream titles, clearly.

Well, from what we've both read, you have an average of 9.3/10. Not good - way too high.

Ai Yori turned me off after the first volume. The story sort of seemed complete then... but, instead of remaining that way, the couple moved into a house and the usual harem female members joined in. I don't know... it kind of bored me. Not 10/10 material.

Chobits I can kind of understand you 10ing - it was my first manga, and I rated it 9/10 back then. However, the ending is weak and left the series with an incomplete feel, and what came before was hardly jaw dropping.

Dragon Ball is ok, but highly repititive and lacks truly likeable characters. Fun, sure, but no more than that.

...Really, the only score I can agree with is your LH 10/10, and even then I feel it has too many flaws to get top marks.

I will say that your list design is nice and easy on the eyes. But, again, I can't help but point out that an average of 9/10 (completed) is too high. You have like 20-30 10's on your completed list, and nothing below 5/10!

style:
blue on black is not the best colour, but still readable
maybe less opacity on the list background

background pic is ok, but too small, maybe a fade to black at the edges to compensate the size

hmmm... nearly all Manga I have read I have bought, so, why should I spend money for stuff, which is, imho, not good?^^



yeah, it looks like the typical harem show, but I don't think so, it's, how should I say, hmm more 'adult' I would say. ok, the end has too much drama, but I have it assiduously overlooked while rating^^



yeah, the end is so typical, it could be better, but in some way fit it to the story

a 9 for Naruto, eh...

your 'plan to' list have some interesting entries, but with this length is it nothing special ;P ^^

_Bael:

Shared works:
Looking at what we share is like looking at my manga past. CLAMP, 3x3 Eyes, Love Hina, Yuki Kaori, Hikaru no Go, Alichino.. how odd that's the majority of what we share. I've mostly "moved on," but they are all an important part of my manga roots. :3

List:
Nice and readable. I like it when I can read it without squinting against colors.

Scores:
High scores, yes. I'm relieved you gave a lower score to TWEWY at least.. I hated that one. ^_^;;

Favs:
I can understand X. Again, an essential part of my manga past. :) I don't like TRC though.

shinkeikaku:

- Your list is massive. And there is a lot of bl and shoujo titles. You also seem to enjoy quite a few works by Clamp, your favorite being Tokyo Babylon. I've got that one on hold at the moment. Having trouble getting into it. I find it very confusing. But maybe it gets better. Or perhaps it's just not for me xD

- The style is nice :) It's easy to read and the colors don't assault my eyes. I like the background too.

- I'm glad I'm not the only bl reader who thought Totally Captivated was totally bad. Also really refreshing to see another who isn't head over heels for Junjo Romantica. I'll never understand the popularity of those two titles when there are so many better choices in the genre.

- We both gave Beauty Pop a 6. You haven't finished it yet and I'd advise to drop perhaps. It's ending is very unsatisfying. I also found that the characters remained pretty static throughout.

- Overall scores are pretty balanced and consistent. A few I disagree with but nothing really jarring.

LucySky's list rocks.

I can't write anything besides that, since our compatibility is so high, anything negative would be a bad reflection on my own taste. Her list, being relatively large, and covering a number of different genres, is an informative guide for what is worthwhile reading and what is not.

Well, with the exception of YKK. It sucked hardcore, and is easily the most overrated manga/anime ever, yet she gave it a 10. No good.

@YoungVagabond

Not much to say about the actual look of the list, no background or any CSS scripting :/

Otherwise, you have pretty decent taste and I agree with most of your ratings, well aside from you giving Yokoham Kaidashi Kikkou a 4.

saintcross

Neat, easy to read but the background gets in the way, unfortunately and fairly interesting tags.

Quite many Plan To Read. Our compatibility is medium high.

Your rating for Doubt is a little surprising. I know some people thought the ending was retarded but it's still great anyhow in my opinion. Your rating for Goth too, is a little lower than I expected. I think Goth's one of the best one-shots out there.

KHR an 8. I think it's good, but not awesome. Can't comment much since I'm not up to the latest chapter yet. I agree with your Naruto rating.

nice list....the background is pretty good(not the biggest death note fan but meh)...you have a good amount of variety amoung your manga list....and not questionable scores....overall a good list

76ers-kid

You are incredibly versed in reading material and your list template seems to be well structured and legible.

76ers-kid:

Someone I share more than ten titles with. Happy days.

62.7% || 8.1 (you) vs 7.9 (me)

The percentages on MAL appear to defy logic more often than not. I'm 75% with someone else who's seen around the same number, scoring far more harshly... yet I'm only 60% with you.

Alive: I have no clue how you scored it 9/10. Characterization, plot twists, action, sex... WHERE!? All I got was a plot about the root of all evil infecting someone who ate a monkey - an evil named "Black." I would not EVER let the mangaka of alive name a baby, or even a dog.

GTO: I think you're the first person I've seen when comparing e-penis sizes to have given it a 10/10. You're like a brother to me now. (I'd prefer a sister, but I'll roll with it.)

...I can't see much else to add. Our only huge difference is the four point Alive gap, and the rest are mostly single pointers. Alive aside, you clearly have good taste. Assuming your grammar and/or grandma is better than it appears to be in this thread, we should hook-up and exchange comments.

Moving onto your list itself, it's dull. Beyond adding grey, you've done fuck all with it. Easy to read but not at all pretty.

You aren't 10/10 crazy and have an average of 7.2 for your completed section. Sweet.

I want to read Suzuka. I kind of liked the anime, and it was a bummer how it ended without ending anything. If not for it costing no less than £7 x a lot of volumes to buy, I'd be on it like a pervert who saw scans with nipples on Danbooru.

Anime: 7/10
Nice long list but mostly not my genre and too much on hold. Why don't you watch some of that.

Manga: N/A
I don't read much so...

Considering the title, I could very easily play the bad guy here.

...I sure get sick of playing the good guy.

has completed more mangas than i have
we share 7 manga
and
he has read 2 chapters of manga yesterday
i feel very lazy for making this post from seeing the first page

ArtieBoy

Your currently reading list has 20 entries. Still reading Naruto huh, I gave up on it around chapter 200-something.

You seem quite generous in dishing out 10's though not overly done.

AlexisSolitaire

Well, you got a really long list of manga, though not of them seem to be 10's, but i saw you plan to read rurouni kenshin, and i highly recommend it, definitely a classic.

FlameAlchemist12

Your manga list lacks depth, I could recommend you titles that at the very least pose something of intellectual value and merit, though in the end; you more than likely won't take heed to anything I say.

All I can tell you is read "alternative" manga titles, serializations that are outside the genres immediate popularity. Authors like Jiro Matsumoto, Asano Inio, and Naoki Yamamoto have all composed great works of art, begin your search now and indulge some material aimed at the more mature.

Your list lacks design as well

Beautiful design!
Wow, you've got so many reading entries and not a single manga dropped.
There's lots of good seinen manga that I definitely have to read (Akira, Mushishi, GitS)
Also, a reasonable average of 7.8/10.
I give a 10 to Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan too, a true work of art, one of my favourites.

-LU-
A music note replaced my mouse >=(
we only share 2 mangas
You have finished way more manga than i have
you give out alot of 8's XD
You like one shots
and it seems like u like romantic mangas XD


Lol yea the 10's just really means enjoyment. i lower them from time to time

Pretty interesting list...a lot of the stuff on yours is stuff I've considered reading, but didn't get around to it, so at least some of our interests are the same. What I see is mostly shonen/seinen manga. Most of your manga is on the more serious end, but looks like you enjoy comedy too.

Some good manga in plan to read. Just finished Pluto yesterday, was pretty good. Can't comment on all, but Zetman, Monster, Hellsing and GTO should be awesome.

Is ookami no monshou really that good? I read the first chapter or so and, aside from the bloodshed, felt like I was reading shoujo/josei or watching something like Twilight because of the focus on how mysterious and powerful this guy was from the woman's perspective. Could be just the drawing style...don't really remember.

Your reading 26 manga. a good amount i of them i never heard of but sounds interesting
We got similar taste in seinen manga. but your list is pretty unique to me since i dont know half of the manga on your list. You also Don't give out alot of 10's
& same with me, a lot of the stuff on yours is stuff I've considered reading, but didn't get around to it, (Oddly enough)

"Some good manga in plan to read. Just finished Pluto yesterday, was pretty good. Can't comment on all, but Zetman, Monster, Hellsing and GTO should be awesome."
Thanks for the heads up ill go into them with high expectations =)

Just keep reading wolf guy till like chapter 7 and if your not digging it you can put it down. but i really just read the manga to see what the main character will do next. i still really cant say were the manga is going in terms of the story. but its pretty interesting
