I have to agree with you on shingeki no kyojin. For some reason, I can't get into the serious.

Calm yourselves, I always give things more than one chance. If I don't like something I wait some years until my tastes change and then I usually like it. It just has to be at the right time for me, I'm weird like that.

No problem with that. In my opinion, it's a manga you best to read at a time when you want to have something light-hearted which makes you smile on every page. And if that doesn't suit you right now, it's fine.

However, Ranma 1/2 gets more and more boring as I progress with the story. It could have been wrapped up much more tighly, in my opinion...

This. First, I was all over it because of the survival setting (it was one of my first series after I started with Vinland Saga) but after a while I just kept asking myself why I waste my time with that. Seriously - with all the body fat amassed in their upper body parts, they could easily survive for a couple of years without food...

I'm on the same boat, at first I thought it was gonna be a awesome manga, especially since it awoken my interest in prehistorical animals, but boy did the story suck all kinds of ass, especially later on the story which is a darnest shame since it had potential to be good with the survival theme with extinct animals and the mystery of the island but not only did it get more corny but the fanservice also got more blatant and I just lost it when the main hero made a heroic speech to the depressed doctor to save one of the people (after it was just revealed he was a doctor!!)... I dropped it shortly after it got cancelled and from what I heard it was a crappy ending so I never bothered to finish it.

Hunter x Hunter

To the point of I began to question my own IQ score. Is there something great in this manga that I don't get because I'm too stupid? It's not that I think this manga is bad but I just don't get what's so great about this. I forced myself to stare at those below-average-art because people keep saying it's a masterpiece. But... ah, IDK anymore. Still in ch 70's, btw.


The art gets worse near the end of Greed Island to the point where it becomes a bunch of scribbles :P But I would definitely recommend giving HxH another chance whenever you want.

Lol KnIM is not a masterpiece, not even close. For no apparent reason I just dislike Seo Kouji's works.

Hunter x Hunter. I just can't understand why it's so popular... I only liked the first arc, the rest was crap and stopped reading around chapter 200. The story had no point whatsover and the art... my God, the art. My eyes bled everytime I were reading it.

And then... Hoshi No Samidare. This is probably less popular because it never got an anime (thanks God!), but looks like it's really well known among manga readers. I decided to start it because I've read beautiful comments about it... Such great manga, brilliant, extraordinary. I didn't like it at all! The pace was strange, the characters uninteresting, I didn't even understand if it was supposed to make me laugh (it has a "gag" tag on MU, but...). Dropped it after 20 chapters and I stopped trusting reviews and comments ._.

Last but not least, Nisekoi. That's just plain useless, but I'm still reading it to know where it'll go...

Vampire Knight... I don't know. I can't bring myself to read it, because it seems to have a type of harem I don't like and the art style bothers me too.

One Piece. Dunno why it never appealed to me the way it seems to with other people. I read the first few chapters then got bored and stopped bothering.


How many chapters you read? Not that I say first few chapters are boring to me but things got more and more interesting as I keep reading. Some people also need to read until certain part (Arlong arc, Enies Lobby, etc) until they find it interesting. Give it another chance if you have time. Just checked your list, seems like you have good taste.

I tried picking up the manga where I dropped the anime since the pacing wouldn't be as bad as the anime. It's slightly better than the anime but that doesn't say much, it's still shit, I made it through 10-12 chapters then I gave up.

You shouldn't even try. I remember you saying that you gave One Piece a 5 if I am right, but gave it a 1 because you felt like you wasted all the time watching that.

Hmm I made it through Golden Age, but it was because I really forced myself too and not interested at all to continue. Almost gave up at first few chapters, almost stopped every time I found women were portrayed in such disgraceful way.

Does that count?

Actually, I don't really like the new arc (about the 'good' demons and the whole 'movement' around Griffith). It seems to me, the story gets a little bit out of hand with no real direction. Considering the fact, that the serie is fairly old (it was started a bit more than one and a half month after my birthday, which makes it 24 years old), I would say it's time to come to an end - at least in my opinion.

Ah and basically every 'popular' manga has to be 'observed' with a good dose of skeptizism - I mean, if something appeals very well to the masses, it's likely that its contentn isn't that... ambitious.

Oh right I forgot Berserk. I lost all interest in it during the meh arcs after the golden age, it has no direction..

I don't think I particularly care if it ends or not. The Berserk fans will keep on suffering.

i dont think thats true at all, i think its more alonng the lines that when something is popular we set up expectations in our heads even unintentionally that can damage our viewing pleasure

BLAME!, after checking out the reviews for it and it being rated 10 by every person i decided to check it out. I lost interest after the first 15 chapters but forced myself to read it till the end to see if anything happens that would change my mind, nothing did. something about the little to no dialogue forcing the reader to infer whats happening just on the art, which looked pretty bad to me; the art had a lot of detail but the detail just makes it bad art with a lot of detail and not much else. I was completely lost with the story since most of the chapters were one or two pages of dialouge then MC gets in to a huge fight and kills a shit-ton of robots that crawl out every hole in the wall, which leaves the reader having absolutely no clue what just happened. can some one who hass read this manga tell me I'm wrong since I'm still confused how everyone is rating this a 10/10 and calling it a masterpiece, did i miss something?

Yes, you missed the part where you're supposed to try understanding what happened instead of just skimming through.

Are you at the latest chapters? I completely disagree. because we are getting a lot of character development now. Even eren is not the one dimentional fool as everyone was speaking. Well it's your opinion. The story line is poor? Yet a lot of people are reading this manga that has awful art style? You couldn't be more wrong about the story. Just look at the art style u think people are reading this manga for the artsyle then? lol also seeing your top 5 favorite manga, I can see why u don't fancy attack on titan. Your prefense is really different from what attack on titan is. I find it that people who llike manga like, berserk, claymore, evangellion and other manga/anime in these category will like attack on titan.

Well, I don't necessarily dislike it for being popular but I don't think it deserves the praise: Black Jack. Don't get me wrong, I like Black Jack, but I think calling it a masterpiece especially compared to Tezuka's other works like Hi no Tori is a bit much. Especially since Black Jack was directly influenced by the episodic style of Hi no Tori.
