Never heard of those or the company that makes them. No clue.
They are pretty neat though.

Yeah I thought they looked cool, I really want that GL

Man, we don't deal with that silly non-animu stuff. Also, was that pun intentional, or not? Because a cast-off is generally a term for a figure (usually animu and waifu in nature) that can be displayed with or without her clothing. :D

Anyway, I've never seen those before or heard of the company. Might wanna ask over in Action Figure GAF.

Death Vigils last issue has been done and on his deviant art as a pdf for free for the past month and the physical issue came out this week. But no one cared so the series is going away. He couldnt even give it away.

Wont do a full 10 but

Vagabond
Akira
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Shaman Warrior
Blade of the Immortal

I've tried Lone Wolf and Cub and actually hated it...

I used to read a lot more manga. I just hate the print size and quality of most of it now

Also apparently there's gonna be an astro boy omni released?

It's like 700 pages but 4" by 6"...
 
^^ I've read some Lone Wolf but it's 32 fuckin volumes and the Dark Horse books are tiny

Rough
Monster
Domu
Kakukaku Shikajika
Real
Phoenix vol 4
Touch

That's probably the surest list I can do for manga -- I had a few more listed that I deleted because I don't think I could defend those choices seriously the way I could for the ones I have above.
 
Messi have you read Ravine? been looking at Sejics deviant art page and wow the stuff he has for this book on it looks amazing.

It's been so long since I've read manga seriously, but if it's any indication, there are only two that have stayed with me this long.

D.Gray-man
One Piece

I remember enjoying Claymore, but nothing past that

Yep, I enjoyed it but its lore heavy with no pay off as the book got canned when no one bought it. Less than 1500 copies sold of volume 2. Beautiful art though, must have taken him ages.

Thinking about this sejic stuff depresses me.

He posted this today :(:
DqPe6Nw.png

followed it up with "and yet... you keep going... fucking addiction!"

But hey, he is going to have 3 new sunstone pages finished by the end of the week that he will post all at once.

Oh crap it got cancelled well that sucks the stuff I saw looked amazing. Is he doing anything else other than Sunstone? I'd like to give the dude some of my money.
 
I remember being on the cutting edge of manga, reading Naruto in 2001 before the anime had even started lol I started watching more and reading less as time went on

What I wanna know is why he didn't stay on Rat Queens and we got stuck with Tess Fowler. Seriously, wth.

He said that he left because he hated getting one of the few books he actually enjoys completely and utterly spoiled on him every month when he got a script. He loved drawing it but wanted to step back and just enjoy it as a fan. He got the job by kurtis noticing his fan art.

Also he left around the time his health went to shit and his computer crapped out.

I'll buy them both. :0

Switch sounds interesting, the preview was cute
 
Man, top 10 manga, huh.

Let me see if I can narrow it down.

One Piece
Eyeshield 21
Air Gear
Hunter x Hunter
Ouran High School Host Club
Pretty Face (wish it went longer though as it blatantly got cut short. Also haven't read it for a while)
Tegami Bachi
March Story
Twin Spica
Ushio and Tora
Urusei Yatsura
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Went 2 over, not sure what I'd cut first. Tough call at that point. Also worth saying, this is more what I enjoyed most, not what I'd say is the "best/highest quality" stuff out there. Also, still own a good number of really well regarded runs that I just haven't read yet (Vagabond, Pluto, etc) (I have a nasty backlog).
Also if I was being honest, Pokemon Adventures may well have a spot up there, as I do honestly really enjoy it, just don't think it's up there with the rest of that stuff.

Also, when I get a chance to sit down and actually read through Phoenix (read the first two volumes, then put off going through it proper till I'd read through as much Tezuka as I could first), it ABSOLUTELY belongs on there.

Edit: And I forgot Yotsuba. Gah, this is hard!
 
Freezasaurus said:
And then he got dat exclusive Top Cow deal, which is probably best for him, considering his health and most of his work was already under Top Cow anyway.
Click to expand...

Yup, I imagine that works out best for him. His wife also got the same deal so her comic Bloodstein is also going to be published there.
 
Top manga. Hmm.... in no order

Akira
Yotsuba
Full Metal Alchemist
Kare Kano
Hajime no Ippo
Nausicaa
Gon
GTO
Sanctuary
Ramna 1/2

Honorable mentions
battle angel alita
One punch man
Claymore
Fruits basket
X
 
I thought about putting Ippo but I like the anime better I think, especially the first series. Some things do just go on for too long.

It's so dramatic and amazing. I was so pumped I went to watch real boxing. So disappointing. I'll take the love and enthusiasm of the manga than reality

I just want manga to be printed at a non shit size and non shit paper

Is that too much too ask? 3 in 1 Vizbig volumes are great. Love my Vagabond volumes in that edition.

There are some other manga that I want to get into

Whatever else Inoue has done

Urasawa's work specifically Monster

that weird manga Coriolanus posts from time to time with experimental art. I have that one saved up on that manga recommendation thread from a while back

While I've read Akira, I need a physical copy

Biomega

GitS

Vinland Saga

Berserk

Probably OG Gundam

Maybe JoJos Bizarre Adventure

edit: oh yeah Wolfsmund and Prison School
 
so who's getting the Ipad Pro? I think Birdie is waiting outside for it now posting on his totally normal 9.7'' ipad which satisfies all.
 
Favourite Manga? Would be these at the moment.

Yotsuba is the one I re-read the most.

One Piece
Yotsuba&!
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
Saturn Apartments
March Comes in Like a Lion
Silver Spoon
Lone Wolf & Cub
Nausicaa of the Valley Of The Wind
Kyou Kara Ore Wa
Natsume Yuujinchou

Check out Nijigahara Holograph dude. The English release is the nicest manga volume I own and it's only a single book. Paper's nice and the binding is good.

My top five:
Prison School
One Piece
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run
Goodnight Punpun
Medaka Box probably

I do want to get a tablet for comic reading but the iPad Pro's outside of my range. Might get a mini or something though.
 
Gundam The Origin is legit the best manga volumes I own. Vertical went to town with that shit and it's priced accordingly. Viz are doing great with JoJo but that's really just a straight copy of the Japanese books without the slip cases.

I'd love love love something like an Absolute edition of Akira.

the majority of the cast should be dead at this point with the amount of damage they've took from superhuman fights. I do love Ippo, I marathoned like 300 chapters over a weekend once and it was great fun.

I always considered the movie trilogy the perfect way to experience 0079 but apparently Origin is heads above it. Can't wait to get volumes 11 and 12 in October so I can finally dive in.

Wow high praise. I too thought the movie trilogy was amazing. Epic sci fi greatness. Except for those silly kids

There's a whole lot of fleshing out and original content in it that apparently sets it apart from the movies and series. Hell I'd buy for the gorgeous Yoshikazu Yasuhiko art alone. The anime focuses solely on the Chars childhood sections but I'm waiting to finish all twelve books before I watch episode 1, I'll have 2 by then as well hopefully.

I picked up volume 1 of Wolfsmund a while ago because of some of you reading it in here. Still in my backlog.

Freezasaurus said:
I just bought volume 11 today. It's another of the smaller volumes, like volume 2.

Also, OOPS. Volume 12 doesn't drop until December 15th. :O
Click to expand...

That's weird my girlfriend said she got an email from Amazon UK saying it would be here this week.
 
Yeah, they're another thing waiting in the backlog, but the Gundam Origin volumes by Vertical are really fantastic, at least in terms of build.

Also for things I just got in that are impressive, really like the way the spines on the Vagabond VizBig editions fit together.
 
Ippo
Hana Yori Dango
HunterxHunter
One Piece
Space Brothers
Konamaiki na Tenshi
Full Moon Wo Sagashite
Gakuen Alice
I"s
and whatever I feel at the moment

There's nothing quite like Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer.

I was so stoked when I found out it was finally getting an official english release. Need to pick up the next three books when I get the chance before it finished in December.

Why the fuck is B.R.P.D volume 3 so hard to get? people are selling it on the amazon marketplace for £1500 lol

At the very least, that one has one of my favorite twists ever in a story. Really actually want to reread it when I kill my backlog a little.

Also, comics stuff, right! Been reading through Hellblazer, and though I really enjoy it, glad I opted for a small break by switching to TMNT: Mighty Mutanimals after having read three of those thick Hellblazer volumes. May have to use some other stuff to break it up further as I go through the other three I have to get caught up, as that stuff can wear you down.
