@billy_batson: I shall check it out :)
Official Manga/Anime Thread
Sure, no problem. Lone Wolf and Cub is also worth the read, though it's more of a samurai manga.
BB
If anything needs a try, it's history's strongest disciple. It's awesome, specially if you are a martial artist. Read a chapter before you train lol.
And Batson, you read vinland saga? I really hated it when they killed askel. That old wolf was all the manga was worth :( But things are getting more interesting now, hoping thorfinn gets back to fighting..
If you haven't finished watching the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012) anime, you're crazy, or not crazy enough. I can't decide which. It's like the most lavishly produced 80's cartoon ever created. It has bizarre right in the name so you know what you're in for.
Read the manga brah, and the 90's ova and play the ps game
@regal_rumble_man: I current on JoJolion but I'd still recommend the new series to those who haven't read any of it. It's also great for people like me who haven't read the first 2 series in years. Adding voice, music, and colors puts it into a whole new level, the rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble. Also the music in the 90's ova was not good which is unfortunate for something so influenced by pop music.
I'm not sure if it's been suggested in this thread but everyone should read Vagabond. It's an excellent historical fiction manga about Miyamoto Musashi, one of the most prolific samurai of his and possibly all time. The action is excellent, the dialogue is great. The art is amazing and it's close to wrapping up I believe. It's currently on chapter 310 and there's a release every 2-4 weeks for chapters.
@beautifulrevery: Sure will, I did started reading it, but stopped for apparently no reason. I'll have to start again. My current suggestion is history's strongest disciple, though. As a martial artist, I've grown absolutely fond of that.
@princearagorn1: I enjoy History's Strongest Disciple as much as the next guy but it's so outlandish that sometimes it borders on the ridiculous imo. Holyland was far better in my book and I highly recommend it.
But I will admit that I'd recommend HSDK to anyone for a read. Also Hajime no Ippo. It's on chapter 1008 I believe. It's a great manga about boxing and an unlikely Japanese fighter's rise to prominence on the world stage. I actually think I'm gonna give HSDK a reread from the beginning.
@beautifulrevery: Yeah, I admit it's kind of outlandish, specially the ryozampaku masters are unreal in power. But it's their way in martial arts that I like, kenichi's, specially. Though It's kind of annoying that he doesn't fight girls, he earns the respect. And his damn entrances, he's the only guy that matches Goku in timing. (Like the one when the elder drops him in the middle of ryuto and thor's fight. Awesome.) And Hermit. His "annoying"s are classic. I'm ranting a bit lol but I'm currently gripped by dbz (yup, again) and Hsdk..
@mezmero: The abridged series are also quite good
@princearagorn1:Holyland was far better in my book and I highly recommend it.
In that case ,do read Shamo
@regal_rumble_man: Already am kind of. I read it off and on. It's decent but Holyland was far better in my opinion.
@beautifulrevery: Have you seen Holyland the J-Drama or K-Drama?
there is also teppu, all rounder meguru, shura no toki and cynthia the mission
@regal_rumble_man: No, I don't watch J/K Dramas at all. I've heard of all those and ventured into some but they didn't hold my interest. Except for Cynthia the Mission. I don't think I've tried that one yet.
@beautifulrevery: Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru - for comedy
go Btw, Did anybody, anybody at all, manage to read through ravages of time? Gods, those characters keep getting mixed up. The luu bu dupes don't help either. It's still going on though, if I recall right. Seemed interesting but it's one hell of a tangle.
@regal_rumble_man: Haha, currently reading that one. Gamaran is pretty good
@regal_rumble_man: Is that from Toriko?
@beautifulrevery: Yeah Zebra, in the latest chapter there is this dude who can solo the old HST based on feats shown on panel. These guys are strong, fun and badass.
@regal_rumble_man: I couldn't get into Toriko either. I'm currently stuck at chapter 10 I believe and I just can't force myself to read beyond it. It's TOO shounen for my taste
@thatguywithheadphones: awesome list, so our bet is still on about hermit and sieg?
@princearagorn1: yeah I still think Sieg could win
p.s I'm so disappointed that Kenichi vs. Beserker got downgraded for 6 chapter of a ''fight' coughTITScough
@thatguywithheadphones: Yeah :(
It still isn't a good idea for kenichi at attack a member of one shadow nine fists.. I was literally 0_0 when ryuto's hit landed though.. The guy's a freaking genius.. He own freya in wheelchair, suddenly gets up, and lands a hit on ogata, of all people? Crazy.
@ghostofonyx: @blackreaper: So that's the name of the anime! Always see members post pictures of the main character with the mask on. Haven't really watched anime in awhile and seeing that I won't be doing much the next day or two I shall start from the beginning. Gonna see if it's a manga as well.
@regal_rumble_man: Ah, btw, why this new 'regal_rumble_man', old 'rumble man' not good enough? lol
@dccomicsrule2011: ahh Soul Eater sometimes I wish I could delete that series from my mind just so I could read It again.So all I can tell you is get ready for awesomeness
I don't like Hungry Joker.
I'm glad Sasuke has snapped back into his senses. I can understand abandoning your village for what you consider your life's one goal. I can understand going batsh*t crazy after learning that everything you've ever believed is a lie, and that you just murdered the one person who loved you, who just happens to be one of the most selfless heros in history. I can understand taking your revenge on the villian responsible. After that, I don't know...

So true, Sasuke was getting ridiculous, hopefully he is gonna be more chill now

There's a Darker than Black manga, but it's something else.
@regal_rumble_man: Ah, btw, why this new 'regal_rumble_man', old 'rumble man' not good enough? lol
new site ,old account lost

It gets better
I've startede reading One Punch Man. What can I say other than it's incredible? Hopefully the Japanese will make a movie of it (a live action one, all the more zanier).
I've also started reading Claymore. Hopefully it'll answer all the questions that the show threw in my face at the end before running away.
Still reading 20th Century Boys. Plan of reading Berserk soon.
History's strongest 518 is out... one hell of an entry from Tananka. Stopping seidou gouitsu and landing a hit on ogata.. while talking in phone. Just Awesome...
the pool of ideas keep leaking, after kenpachi = then what? after all their bankai's = then what? it is the same formule being cut and dried all over again
didn't he say bankai is rare? every frickin shinigami with a name has one
Even after prominent ban kai are revealed, there could still be new enemies to fight. As they don't get a zenkai boost every time they fight..
And No they don't.. Out of thousands of soldiers of Gotei 13, Only the captains and a few lieutenants have a ban kai. Renji was bound to get one to make byakuya's look awesome, madarame seems to be the top contender to be a captain, so he got his.But kira, matsumoto, hinamori, isane, yachiru,yumichika and many of them don't have one. Hell, even rukia hasn't got a ban kai yet. Hitsugaya's ban kai is not yet fully achieved/matured, so he keeps training to complete it. And kenpachi just achieved his shikai, It'll take time for him to learn ban kai. (And he should earn it, dammit) The one who should get the ban kai now is Hisagi, Imo. His shikai release was one of the best moments in seris, what with the theme and all, and ban kai would be obviously better..
@princearagorn1: Unless they find a minus numbered Gotei or a new language to butcher for their enemies.
Kenny got a shinkai... beating on a dead horse here
@regal_rumble_man: A minus numbered Gotei isn't required.. they could combine vandereich or whatever with soul society and form a whole new system. lol at the minus numbered gotei though.
@princearagorn1: or better yet, they all have guns like Starrk and that guy from the vandenreich who shot shunsui
@regal_rumble_man: A zampaktou is more awesome than a gun though. Btw, do you think hisagi should achieve his ban kai by now? and konamura needs a damn powerup..
@princearagorn1: nope, if hisagi gets one then hanatarou gets one, if hanatarou gets one then ginjou is secretly a shinigami captain... it escalates too quickly
but koma needs to get out of his b!tch slippers and put on his badass boots
@regal_rumble_man: what? Hanatarou? as in the 4th squad rookie? I was flicking through the ost's actually.. That reminded me of hisagi's shikai release. His is the only release among lieutenants that both soi fon and hitsugaya bother turning for. Not to mention he gives off an awesome amount of reiatsu with it.. Even Madarame's ban kai wasn't that impressive lol
@princearagorn1: madarame's is still better than Renji's (the eternal b!tch in the series, even chad is given more dignity) even though he was a threat in the early series when he still wore that cool visor
@princearagorn1: Well The Fights in HSDK are over and you were right Hermit won
@thatguywithheadphones: Awesome. A bit short, but awesome :D
Whats their problem with girls lol even hermit's hood isn't torn while nealy her whole dress is gone :o
@regal_rumble_man: Reading hunter x hunter. I'm interested, but it's 32 vols so it will take a month or two before I'm caught up.
I love Hungry Joker. My only problem with the series so far is that it's moving way to fast but I believe the reasoning for this is due to the fact that the Manga-ka thinks it'll get canceled for not being a typical shonen.
As for Saskue, he's still a whiney little b*** that got everything handed to him and took up me then he's worth as a character
