Plunderer is a hard manga to review, but as most of the reviews are outdated, i figured i would give it a shot.
The story starts off decently enough, but does not really start spinning its gears untill a volume or two in. Once it does though, you are in for one hell of a wild ride.
As aforementioned, it is extremely hard to review because damn near everything good about it counts under the category of a plot twist. I have never read a story with as many fucking plot twists jammed into it as this one, you cannot go two chapters without the

Plunderer, series acceding Sora no Otoshimono series with Fantasy world , taken over with Sci-fi genre, with the gentle stroke of tone for the art is the manga that tell us about another heartwarming story, parallel with Sora No Otoshimono.
As the story started with taking place in world that being ruled by number/count that character had in their body, and how it could affect their life, with the primary story focusing on the legend of Red Baron. As the story progress, there is a hint of seriousness, despite the overwhelmingly indecent act of the world, as similarly with Sora no Otoshimono, with the development of ...

Although this series is still in the works i cant give you a full 100% review regarding the story. However I will be explaining my impressions so far.
I wont explain how the story is, other than suggesting you read the synopsis. I believe attempting to explain it will force me to end up spoiling the story so ill just hold off on that. LOL Story 9: So far as the story goes, it is extremely captivating. It slowly reeled me in once i started reading through the first few chapters. what i mean by "slow", is that initially it just like an average fantasy/drama type of ...

24 chapters in:
I would first say that the main character is quite the pervert and isn't afraid to show it - but the manga doesn't particularly try to show boobs etc as often as possible unlike something like fairy tail. Still have a fair amount of it though. Ok, now to the characters. Not particularly good but not really bad either. The main guy is interesting in his own right, but the main girl is quite boring in comparison. Well I hesitate to call her the main because she really isn't, we just see her first. But no matter. Anyway, she takes on the role of ...

This is a preliminary review for final chapter (based on what I'm speculating based on the manga's pacing so far) should be number 77.
Warning: Will have a bit of minor spoilers and a very long review for you know why if you know me... Actual rating by me Vol 1 - 11 = 8 Vol 12 onwards = 4 As much as I'm frustrated & disappointed with the anime adaptation, I'm shocked that the manga's version of the first 10 volumes exceeded my reading experience, if not, it has "good animation quality". ...

Warning: minor spoilers from the introduction of the setting - nothing that should hamper your experience in the slightest though!
———————— A lot of action, a dab of fantasy, a swish of sci-fi blended together with a beautiful sense of incongruity and conspiracy; throw in some ecchi for good measure, some cool character designs and no one who's annoying; and just a very well-executed story weaved together with tonnes of mystery and a sort of “god-complex hard-magic" system (well kind of, without the magic and more like ‘Super Heroes’). Plunderer is a dystopian world ruled by numbers. Everyone has a number that's attributed from birth to some objective ...

The world of Plunderer and the system that governs it is memorable, despite being messed up. Very early on we are introduced to a caste system in place based on the number of "stars" or "count" one possesses and see that human society has been broadly stratified into those who live in Althea (i.e. a land of plentiful resources) or those who are sent (often kicking and screaming) into The Abyss. It is a world in which might makes right, a mysterious magic exists, and of "winners" and "losers".
The story is also filled with tired shounen tropes and stereotypes, most prominently, white knight syndrome and ...

I was always confused why this series was so disliked. The start might've not have been amazing, but still had a sense of adventure with its "counts". Then, after a while of reading chapter 72, I realized. This basically became Dragon Ball Z-level of stupidity with power levels.
I'll start with what I liked; the story, the characters, and "counts". The story was enjoyable, along with the character interactions and how distinct they are. Yes, there are tropes that I disliked like the typical "girl that screams for help and gets sidelined". But disregarding that point, the characters do put up some fights. Even if they get weaker ...

(don't worry there aren't any spoilers)
There aren't many reviews on this, so I decided to leave one, for people who are not sure whether to read it or not. So my review in 2 words would be "really good", I would high recommend to experience this story for yourselves. But ik this wouldn't convince most of you so here's the proper review Before you start this manga, you most likely have seen the anime floating around somewhere on the internet, and no matter how much I like the manga, I have to say the anime was awful. story At the start of the manga, it seems like ...

At first, I just started the Plunderer series when it came out as an anime, not thinking it could have any potential. After around 6 episodes I considered dropping the anime but stayed for the comedy. At around episode 10-11 I started seeing great potential for the series, and after the last episode, I could not resist and continued where it left off with the manga.
And holy cow, let me just say I was far from disappointed. Plunderer really is a masterpiece, the only thing I had wrong with it was the random comedic relief moments that had no overall effect on the plot. ...

Let's talk about plunderer shall we?
This series is categorized under a sort of adventure, romance, magic sort of genre even though it's not entirely sticking true to any of the tropes in those. It has some good writing and the long-term plot is built up through each and every encounter very well to the point where you'll see something and realize that everything has purpose. Something that should be normal in storytelling but isn't in manga. (see chekhov's gun if you wanna know more about that) However, it has it's problems, and mainly with consistency. It feels a lot of the time that I'm questioning what ...

This manga felt like it had so many cool concepts and then decided to run with poorly blended themes and ideas as the plot went on. Characters were definitely cliche and basic. The art work I thought was pretty good. The actual story line I felt had you set up certain expectations and then the author was like “how can I make this sillier and much more under whelming.
Overall I dropped this series relatively early on and as I’ve seen it was a good call as it hadn’t developed into anything worth pursuing from what I have mostly seen or heard. Sadly it was a ... |
