Anime and Manga v16

[heavyarms21]

You know what i hate about Hajime No Ippo now? Once i got my training in boxing, i kept thinking to myself "wait, that isn't right" whenever the characters fights. Really killed the mood for me.

Are you telling me you don't do the Dempsey Roll, the Smash or the Hien ??

Yup. Yup and Yup. I don't have any proper attributes to pull off those moves lol. Still, as someone who striving to be as technically proficent as possible, some of those moments in the manga really make me want to rub my eyes over.

Now only if in Hajime No Ippo we have an equivalent of Bernard Hopkins lol.

Out of curiosity, are there certain characters in a series that you absolutely hate and wished they'ed get killed off or something?

1. Naruto - Naruto

1b. Chopper - One Piece

1c. Usopp - One Piece

2. Inoue, Chad, Rukia, Ishida - Bleach

 

[Gregolian]

That is the correct answer to that question. I wish japan didn't have such a love for these d-bag prodigy type characters.

There was another I hate too but I can't remember who it was..

You guys are wrong: Itagaki is the man. I dont care for him being a boxing genius, but he is hilarious. Whole family gets me dying of laughter.

Burn yourself.

My favorite manga which I got into because of Red Dead Redemption is called "Green Blood". The artwork, story, just overall style is f'n great. If you want to read a raw and gritty manga with a western theme then this is it.

I like it but I want it to have more chapters before I really get into it.

Lol At one point I thought Itagaki was gonna turn on Ippo, because of how much Greg hates in Itagaki. Made it seem like he was this despicable character. F'n lol

I'll be annoyed if Itagaki gets a crack at Miyata before Ippo does, on the brightside it would be awesome if Miyata really puts a hurting on Itagaki.

I almost want Itagaki to win just the see the responses it would get here.

Itagaki would crush Miyata. Dat weight cut. Lolol

I wish the next chapter would come out. Vorg has got to pull through

Not that big of a Miyata fan but he has more big fight experience and is more fearless

 

[Jumpy]

I was mostly joking. Miyata does have a real hard weight cut and Itagaki is probably just as fast, if not faster. You're right tho, Miyata has way more experience and has fought the tougher competition. I think Miyata would win but Ippo would learn something valuable and would use it to win his fight against Ichiro. Lol

I'm still trudging through random stuff in hopes of finding something good.

Abandon the Old in Tokyo - Complete - [F?] - This is a collection by an influential author. But I guess I just don't get it. Without the context, these are just uninteresting short stories with really dated artwork.
Blaster Knuckle - Ongoing - [C] - This is sort of like Berserk, if Guts was a black man living in the post civil-war south. The artwork isn't bad, but I didn't feel a connection to any of the characters. The plot is also a pretty generic revenge-against-monsters story.
Buddha - Complete - [F] - I know nothing about budhism, so I can't speak to how accurate any of these stories are. But I just couldn't read this due to the artwork. It uses that heavily caricatured style from the 60s-70s and I just can't stand it.
Dusk Maiden of Amnesia - Ongoing - [C] - I'm not a big fan of this type of horror/supernatural in the first place, but ended up reading more chapters than I originally expected I would. I stopped reading because I got the distinct impression that the mystery element of the story was just going to get dragged on.
Fourteen - Ongoing - [F] - Oh god. I can't stop laughing at how bad this was. Everything from the artwork to the storyline. I just hope to hell the author wasn't trying to write a legit horror story because this is just comical.
GoGo Monster - Complete - [F] - I feel sort of guilty giving this rating, but I just can't stand the artwork by this author. I sort of got used to it in his series Ping Pong, but here it is even more jarring.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind - Complete - [C+] - I read a couple volumes of this but it just didn't hold my interest. Miyazaki is just a better film-maker than he is manga author. The drawings lack the flow and movement of his animation.
Ore Monogatari!! - Ongoing - [C] - Another series that is up for an award that I don't understand. The art isn't very good and the story isn't all that original either. Really just "meh" overall.

One Piece, Evangelion, Wolf Children, Momo, Friends Earn Japan Academy Prize Nods

I don't think I need to say who I'm pulling for in this do I?:wink::icon_chee

 

[heavyarms21]

Well you are a big fan of MoMo , never heard of this One Piece .....

I'm pulling for One Piece, but I pretty near expect Momo to take it since dramas tend to be higher up in the choices(I've posted it so many times I'm not even gonna bother with the TVTropes link this time). Would awesome as hell to be wrong though especially since from what I've read, One Piece Film Z has be killing it at the Box office and is expected to open in Taiwan, Singapore, Honk Kong, Thailand, and South Korea, and possibly getting licensed in Europe and the US.

I didn't get around to watching it in Japan, due to hectic work schedule , but if it gets licensed to get a theater run here I'm going to track it down.

God damnit, Houston... Why didn't you listen to JAXA and Mutta? FUCK!

space bros kind of spoiler.

Dude, don't spoil stuff man, I haven't been keeping up with it and just got back to reading it. On a side-note, from TVTropes the voices for Mutta and his parents are, Sanji, Luffy, and Brook respectively.
