Hello there.
Dropping by, out of nowhere, to ask a question.
Is sigikki.com the only place one can read Afterschool Charisma?
Just curious, because I see we're both reading it.

"Believers" caught me by surprise, since I absolutely loathed "Asatte Dance" by the same author, as well as a number of his one-shots. It was as similarly unexpected as the creator of the retarded "Ping Pong Club" penning the excellent seinen "Himizu".

I guess certain manga authors fail badly at "light-hearted ribald comedy", but are spectacular when it comes to dark seinen.

When I started watching Akagi, I looked up the rules for the modern Japanese variant 15-20 minutes online. They're quite intricate and confusing, but I got the main gist down, and it aided my enjoyment of the series. Many moments and scenes flew over my head, though, but they were depicted in a manner that was still exciting for the uninitiated.

And yeah, I've been very slow about reading JoJo. Partly it's because I like the series so much I want to read the chapters when I will enjoy them the most! Araki is super talented and innovative, and every time I read his works, I think to myself; man, THIS is what manga should be all about, telling innovative science fiction and fantasy stories. However, he is one of the few guys doing this.

Instead, most manga have devolved into content-less, boring looks at high school. Lame.

The current season (in fact, all of 2009) looks very grim. I watched a bit of Toradora last year because of morbid curiosity. Awful decision. It's a show that I watched at X4 speed, and still, its pacing was too boring and slow, with nothing occurring.

FMA: Brotherhood is a shitty reproduction of the excellent original, based on what I have seen of the first 9 episodes. The repeats are the same thing, except worse in every way, with needless, unfunny chibi scenes, and even worse animation. The one original episode was shockingly bad.

However, Bleach is okay. If not for the long plot arcs with little occurring, it would be a legitimately high-quality, long-running show, almost on the level of a Detective Conan for action. As it is, it's still decent, albeit nothing special.

And yeah, no problem. That was a lot of things to bring up, but they're fun to discuss.

Hey, way slow on the uptake here, but I just wanted to thank you for figuring out that that one-shot I was trying to remember about a month back was called Island. I figured it was something simple like that (complicated titles are actually the easiest to remember, now that I think of it...). Anyway, thanks for the help.

I have a relative visiting USA, so I asked him to buy some manga for me. "Check the stores for anything Osamu Tezuka and see what you can find."
In the end he found some volumes of Phoenix, Apollo's Song and Black Jack and I asked him to buy them all :D I'll just order the missing volumes off Amazon.

After all, I'm just getting back to manga in like... 2 years. I have decided to read some of the roots of modern manga since I haven't watched many anime classics. Black Jack is the one I'm most interested in because it's said to be a great inspiration to Mushishi. Buddha has published in my country, so I may be able to get it here with relative ease. My friend is going to lend me Adolf.

I know Matthews, been there a few times. I live up in the University area, more towards Huntersville really.

Is Hox's mediafire loading for you?
I'm almost caught up with Punpun and this happens... ;_;

Never thought i'd find someone who watched Stalker on MAL of all places.
