Indonesian guy and I were exactly 12 hours apart. One of us was around at all times. Together we ran the group literally 24/7. For specific series and such we would just assign people who could take care of stuff at the right times.
I should probably read Aunt Tits someday.

I shouldn't have started this part 2: Takamagahara
Fuck WSJ readers. This probably had the most potential out of any cancelled series I've read including MxO. Such a neat, yet familiar take on special abilities and the battles accompanying them. Could have been a straight up manga X-Men, but nope, it had to end prematurely

You have to admit, it started off pretty generic. Probably by the time it got better it couldn't avoid cancellation.I shouldn't have started this part 2: Takamagahara

I do think that the artist was literally bleeding effort through the page, even if the art style was a little iffy.
*ahem* I'll now attempt to diagnose the level of expertise several peeps here had in tag in their childhood. I'll only do those I know I can attempt, no wild guesses, sorry everyone else. Please confirm/deny.
upandaway: the terribelest ever oh my god.
haly: bad when "it", but can magically be clean the whole game if given the chance.
scy: average due to lack of practice. could become pretty good if he wanted.
grimace: fluctuating between really good and a bit bad, loses all motivation pretty quickly.
kurita: doesn't matter, he had fun.
b-dubs: his performance is directly correlated to whether he or one of his close friends started as "it" or not
wiseblade: good all-rounder, but would lose in a second against professional taggers
ignis: always tries out weird manipulative things to make him pull ahead and it never works out. dunno how he'll be if he ever tried it seriously.
kusagari: shh, keep it a secret from him, but any single time he had good performance can be directly linked to someone going easy on him
stat flow: became good through sheer hard work despite no talent. inspiring.
articalys: please come back next week

Man. I haven't marathon'd a series like that for a while. That was excellent, dodgy initial art aside. I would buy an official english release in a heart-beat.
I think we've discovered our character log for our Tag manga

I remember you talking about this, i forgot what series she was doing though (either silver spoon or FMA???)
I go hard at all times. Besides when we played tag we always had two people it, made it a lot harder. If you weren't it expect to be stalked like a gazelle being stalked by a lion, if you were it you ran your ass off and hoped you could trap them in a corner. We took our tag seriously. (we were all sprinters on the track team, don't judge us)
Funny stuff though.
RightStuf has a 33% off sale on all Vertical Inc manga. Get on it my fellow SHITEATERS.
If you ever get around to writing that scanlator book then I'll definitely pick up a copy or ten.

I wrote it. It's awful and got cancelled by Shueisha which is why it ends before the final fight.

Broken link.
The best deal is preordering the three hardcover gundam the origin volumes...

Conceptually and even character-wise, it's generic as hell. But scope-wise, it had a lot of potential to have really creative battles with really creative abilities. It's just so disappointing to me because I've dabbled with the idea of everyone having super powers before, so to actually see it happen and then end in 17 chapters makes me sad.

If you dont find these interesting enough to read weekly when they are running, then why would people in jpn find it interesting enough to vote for it.
I think the start did hurt it, I think I said in a final write up of it last season. If the the two other characters were present with the main character from a much earlier time, time with the guy that absorbs people was decreased, and they were at the school and takama-ga-hara more, then it probably could have really turned out much better as it was going. Good art.
Now I'm doubting the mad tag skills I believed I had as a kid. My life will never be the same. Thanks!

So I've read Naruto Vol. 42, since I'm catching up be re-reading from Vol. 40 onwards and...did Kishimoto quickly finish up Jiraya vs. Pain just so Sasuke vs. Itachi could start?
I don't get what you mean...

I am still mindblown by the fact that the leader of you folks is an Indonesian
Yeah, he calls himself Takadanama. He is the founder.

I can't think of any seinen that hasn't let me down. Although try out Shin Angyo Onshi.
In the page I posted, Ikuno immediately lays out what happened yesterday to Ryouko to avoid misunderstandings and accepts the blame for whatever she's done. However, she does it in a way that doesn't really let any mitigating factors in. She's simultaneously the most sensible and dumbest of all the people in their friend circle.

Have you read Lone Wolf and Cub?

OK maybe it's because I've been having a little headache all morning, but I'm having a little difficulty understanding that line.
Is it like saying she was trying to be subtle but failing at doing so?
She completely failed to be subtle. On one hand, it's good; no misunderstandings about what was going on before, and she takes all responsibility. On the other hand, it's bad, because she doesn't actually attempt to explain herself.
It's like admitting you did an action but without arguing an actual defence. It's noble, it's the right thing to do, but it's also stupid.

Knights of Sidonia
I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate stories that don't establish context. This whole first chapter was nothing but random-ass shit one right after the other. It made zero effort to gain my interest at all. It was just bad. It's kind of insulting that this shit gets published. Who edited this?

THat'd be a good premise for a manga.
Tag X Tag: Tag Games
Wiseblade would lose without all his fake anime clips. Unless he was like Bataman and had prep time.
Me I'd be pure hit and run. The Tuxedo Mask of tag.

I can't take any more. I'm moving on from Sidonia, this is completely lacking in the most basic storytelling composition. It's incoherent, which is the worst thing you can say about a comic book. Medical Dragon's up next.
Man catch up it spun out of my idea and now the manga is about the legal battles of whose idea it really was
One thing I would like to do is have all the background characters be game creators

Kind of sad for mamiya that a draw is considered a victory for him.

This is really funny, but the art looks terrible. What is wrong with their faces? The eyes are so wide apart.
And what's worst is that the manga looks genuinely interesting.

....ok lone wolf and club hasn't, or a bunch of other classic mangas. I meant modern seinen that hasn't let me down.

105 chapters? Great. I'll read during the Chinese New Year.
Meanwhile I wonder why people loved the story in the 999 game. It's pretty lousy and is further ruined by some of the worst exposition ever.

I'd sit on the rooftop and shout how bad everyone is at this.
Lol wut?
The art's pretty meh throughout but it gets the job done and it does get better. Same mangaka as claymore, which i'm considering checking out later. The eye width thing never really changes though.
The prose is lousy, the story is excellent. Plus it ties into some videogame-specific stuff which hasn't been done for western audiences much before. The author himself didn't think much of it though lol
Code:Breaker...? I dunno.

Waga na wa umishi has a kinda slow start, but if you can stick with 7 seeds early parts than you can stick with this too.
Ship salvaging has never been so epic.
Oh god now I want to reread it again. It's so goddamn good.
It's "Haru no Houtai Shoujo".
and nah I haven't seen anything past chapter 2 yet as far as translations go.
Where's your avvy from btw?
The source is pretty lewd (
I.E. Hentai
Go for it.
I just wanted to elaborate on the terrible art thing - I think the first time through a manga especially when you're reading to find out 'what happens next', I tend not to care so much about the art as I do the events of the narrative, what's happening to the characters etc. It's only really on re-reads that I begin to focus on the art. I think on an initial read - the important read, anyway - it's down to layout and impression that is far more important than the actual quality of the artwork itself.
That said terrible art's gonna be terrrrrrrrible
