I'm always mildly fascinated by the fact that people choose to have H avatars.

 

[upandaway]

The source is pretty lewd (

Spoiler

I.E. Hentai

) but I can pm you the title if you're really interested.

He asked BECAUSE you can decipher that much from the avatar!

I'm onto you Jintor.

Pixel H avatars.

I admit nothing!

The only people who knows are part of the same group, so...

Especially for the really obscure, disturbing shit.

 

[Azure J]

It's "Haru no Houtai Shoujo".

and nah I haven't seen anything past chapter 2 yet as far as translations go.

Thanks man.

 

[Soma]

I'm always mildly fascinated by the fact that people choose to have H avatars.

Half the reason I chose it (okay maybe all of it) was to get eventual questions on the source!

 

[brotkasten]

It's more fascinating to me that people actually read and discuss smut manga in this thread. To me it's a bit like discussing soft porn for the story. Who does that?

 

[Jintor]

The discussion level is about equiv to the shonen fighting discussions though, just about boning (or not boning, as the case may be)

 

[Antiwhippy]

I don't know man, I don't see multiple essays being written about aunt tits.

I don't know, sometimes it's pretty obvious.

Does that make you some type of exhibitonist?

 

[FlutterPuffs]

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

Not a fan of the story either.

But I love the game concept and puzzles though, so can't wait to get to VLR next.

 

[Jintor]

I don't know, sometimes it's pretty obvious.

Someone was going around with a Sailor Mercury avvy I was pretty sure was from a h-doujin a few months back...

Not a fan of the story either.

Gonna have to insult you a bunch to make myself feel better, please hold

 

[Antiwhippy]

I don't know, sometimes it's pretty obvious.

I think it's harder nowadays mostly because most smut manga could probably pass for hentai.

 

[BassForever]

VLR takes the ideas presented in 999 and helps them make a lot more sense its a great game

 

[Jintor]

VLR definitely does the game design a lot better.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Are you guys trying to subliminally persuade me to buy VLR in the manga thread?!

 

[brotkasten]

I think it's mostly about the subject. I don't think anyone here jerks off to Naruto or Bleach.

You're wrong and you know it.

 

[brotkasten]

You're wrong and you know it.

I meant the actual chapters and not the yaoi fanfic that's swirling around on the internet.

 

[BassForever]

The fact you don't already own it should be more then enough reason for you to buy it

 

[Neoriceisgood]

I know.

Is is that good?

 

[brotkasten]

I know.

Are you telling me people jerk off to actual Naruto and/or Bleach chapters? Fairy Tail, I could understand, but not the other two.

 

[upandaway]

Will it be hard to find or anything? I wanted to get it alongside a 3DS and Pokemon.

 

[BassForever]

Is is that good?

Yeah it's really good and it'll take around 25-30 hours to see everything. It improves upon 999's gameplay design in every logical way. There were at least 5 times the game made me say "oh shit!/wow!" Because it legit caught me off guard.

I had to special order my copy from GameStop because they were sold out. If I were you I'd buy it now because it may become really hard to find later and I don't think a digital copy exist for 3ds

Though you best play 999 first if you 'aven't

This, vlr spoils everything that happens in 999

ARGH but it would be really expensive to import it now. I'd much rather do it with the 3DS to save money. It's still on Amazon too (999 still there too actually).

I don't know, man. This is risky as hell but I don't know. I don't know. Should've done it when Playasia had free worldwide shipping arghhhhhhhhh

Where do you live, can't you get it via Amazon?

I wouldn't get anything on PlayAsia. They jack up the prices.

 

[Bisnic]

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.

Don't get too excited for Claymore, it's just a huge number or women(that you have a hard time remembering who is who, since many of them looks alike) fighting monsters with crazy designs. Don't expect to laugh either.

 

[Tizoc]

Catching up with Naruto and there are some inconsistancies with what Itachi tells Sasuke about Madara, and when 'Madara' tells Sasuke about his past.
I'ma just chuck it to Kishimoto making it up on the fly *shrugs*
Also Itachi is crazy and passed his crazy onto Sasuke.

Also Danzou's an ass for killing that little messenger froggy with the cool googles >=(

Lame. Is the fight choreography any good? Some of Angel Densetsu's later chapters can be really powerful in impact, if not necessarily art.

That last page in particular is excellent.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Waga na wa umishi 58

God, it's been awhile since I read this but it's still as awesome as always. While bon is an idiot and does some really fucking stupid things, the manga makes up for it by creating some pretty badass scenarios. Never knew ship salvaging could be so epic till arcs like raising a ship to save Japan's economy or stopping a gas tanker to explode on narita with the force of a small nuclear bomb.

All while sticking pretty close to the theories of ship salvaging and how the sea operates. Probably. I don't know anything about either subject.

The first half of Claymore is pretty good. The pace is like a salmon swimming majestically in the rivers of Idaho.

The second half is like a salmon flopping frantically after being half eaten by a bear.

 

[Lirlond]

Everything before the timeskip == Well thought out, decently paced, nicely portioned.

Everything after == Who is this, where is she going? Is that Claire? What happened to the kid? Who's this?

 

[Lain]

Someone was going around with a Sailor Mercury avvy I was pretty sure was from a h-doujin a few months back...

Was that me? I used a Sailor Mercury avatar from one of Mizuryu Kei's Sailor Moon doujinshi.

 

[Jintor]

Dunno. I just remember that it had the creeeeeeepiest facial expression.

I one day hope to draw something as frightening as it. Normal facial expressions are easy, but drawing creeeeeepy facial expressions without just drawing crappy ones is pretty difficult

 

[dumbyugi]

Was that me? I used a Sailor Mercury avatar from one of Mizuryu Kei's Sailor Moon doujinshi.

Was it from Mercury Shadow? Because I remember someone had an avatar from that.

 

[Lain]

Yep.

 

[Maedhros]

The guys I'm closest with though are my fellow admins, they're the only ones I still chat with today. Our Indonesian leader, the French schoolteacher, the Brazilian student, the white guy teaching English in Japan, and the dude in Oregon working in an electronics retailer. My nakama.

True story: The Brazilian dude learned English by reading manga translations.

I learned English translating Alundra, since I got stuck at one puzzle. I played the game with instincts, but in that part the text was really necessary and I never used walkthroughs. So, I've transcribed the script of the game until that part and with a dictionary, translated the first third of the game.

The puzzle was easy enough after that. Lol.

Hungry Joker 12

The pain when ones favorite manga lands in their hands, this chapter so many issues. Gah. Anyway, really good chapter with the final reveal. Haichi faces never get old and quite good comedy and a friendship moment too. Wonder if they will defeat anymore Minotaurs?

 

[scy]

*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

I'll practice.

Tomorrow.

Honest.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

World Trigger 1

Just swiftly browsed through it (will read on mon). Trigger powers seem intriguing, character cast, specifically Osamu and especially Yuuma are really cool character designs. I think its worth following.

 

[Lain]

Air Gear volume 36

Once again, a great volume (and with a great cover as well), full of showy tricks, badassery and made up stuff (the whole 99% against the 1%).
The best part about the volume has to be when Ikki breaks out of Sora and, with a lame crying face, states that he's about to kill him.

If there is one thing I love about Air Gear above everything else, is how consistent it is with the over the top, silly and bad ass moments.

I was actually amazing. I was one of the fastest in my school and could turn on a dime. There were people better than me, but I was high up.

 

[Kurita]

Ah yeah, have to check the first chapter of World Trigger...

 

[Angelus Errare]

Air Gear like Tenjou Tenge before it was great until Oh!Great starts to believe he's a deep philosophical writer then everything goes to shit. But since he's such a damn amazing artist, I look forward to every single thing he puts out.

Have you read Biorg Trinity?

 

[Lirlond]

Damn the latest chapter of Space Bros made me a little teary eyed ;-;

 

[brotkasten]

Coming back from the The Amazing Spider-Man 2 plot synopsis thread, I'm really wondering ... do you guys read US comics too?

I tried to read X-Men few years back, but I just can't deal with the art. I think it's mostly the body proportions that throw me off.

Examples of the villain "Rhino" from the Spider-Man thread.

I'm sure it's not all bad and there's obviously bad art in manga too, but even the big comic series can look really terrible.

 

[BatDan]

I haven't read US comics in a while.
There's too much bullshit to deal with. Especially with every continuity reboot and stupid decision they pull (Doctor Octopus is Spider-Man now! Buy our book!)
I know there are indie books and I should probably try those instead.
