Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Not in personality, just in appearance. I don't think the author knows how to draw more than 2 different girls.

I thought that Ubisoft's first Naruto game was pretty cool. I really enjoyed that one.
I thought the French hated everything Microsoft/Xbox? Or is that just some weird gaming stereotype?
This one is funny for me, because a friend lent me his Wii, so I could play Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. I don't see him anymore and he never wanted it back. I never got past the first ten minutes of SS and now it's collecting dust in my living room.
You're stuck with the Namco game that will probably be mediocre.

Really, arent we on to two Toriko games now, Magi just got a game, Fairy Tail has one too, Gintama?. Probably focus on more Toriko games
Sony is more popular in Europe but that doesn't mean that people don't like Microsoft haha
Yeah :/
I don't have a PS3 anyway. It seriously blows my mind that we never got a sequel to JUS...
The new Jojo game looks sick
This is incredible
Why isnt there a One Piece fighting game like this?

Pirate Warriors was kinda eh.
Probably wasn't worth it to Nintendo to do another. I mean it's not like either sold a million in Japan and it's impossible to bring it to the west.

Well, he's waiting for Mashima to come up with a third design.
We'll see. They were able to milk DBZ for years but Naruto is close to ending. I just don't see a big future for the licensed action space. Maybe some ADV thing.
That implies a 3DS release which is pointless.
I just remember the Magi game selling like shit. Don't know how the others have fared but they're probably very low-budget anyway.

She.
Female authors aren't nearly as inept as Bakuman might have made you believe.

Just like in the manga!
I always wanted to try that Eyeshield 21 Wii game, looked awesome.
Well, she clearly is.

But Yamada is better than Fairy Tail
I have this game.
It's fun if you're a fan. I also have the DS game which was cool too.

I'm talking about art. And I wasn't saying FT is better than Yamada.
fuckPlay-Asia has it really cheap... hmm.

The recent Gran Turismo 6 rumors make me wish racing was bigger in Japan. I watched Initial D and Wangan Midnight and started reading OverRev!, but that's not enough. Capeta would be amazing, but it's stuck in translation hell and I won't do that to myself.
Is anything else in that genre out there I might need to read?

You dont watch the current season of Initial D?

If it's cheap go for it. It's not a memorable game but hey

I thought about it, but I'm not in the mood to watch anything at the moment, which is why other series like Parks and Recs and Mad Men are piling up as well. And watching all 12 episodes in one sitting is probably more fun anyway. Is Stage 5 the last season?
How that game hasn't been ported to iOS is a mystery. Except I'd probably fling my ipad across the room trying to do the rubbing when you pass all the defenders and are beelining for the end zone.

I am having a Naruto withdrawal. Fucking Kishi taking break at the worst time.

Screw Naruto and continue with 7 Seeds, you bum.

Hehe. I will. Honestly though i started to hate marathoning manga, but i will read it in chunks, instead of obsessing about catching up like i usually do.
But will you remember reading it later?

I remember that there was a huge following for Gamaran , no one is posting about it anymore.

There was?
I just don't think it's worth posting about. It still has entertaining albeit formulaic fights but no real story development.
Why I outta
Uzumaki vol 1-3 End
Spirals, fucking spirals, the root of all evil. That was such a great manga. After reading this I finally understood why Juni Itou has a huge fanbase and now I'm a fan of his creative and crazy horror plots.
Unlike say Black Paradox which had a decent concept or Gyo with an extremely ridiculous and silly plot, I think this manga managed to be both creative, ridiculously crazy, and still maintain a great eerie and creepy atmosphere. The last few chapters when the town was completely taken over by the spirals was just amazing. I have only seen this sort of helplessness and atmosphere in Fourteen before. Which makes sense seeing how Itou was a big fan of Umezu.

Wait you were just reading this now?
For me this was pretty great and got me to know of this author.

I have no idea how one could stop reading it after some certain events. At which chapter did you stop?
The art gets a bit better and yes, there's a reason why most people here love it. I hope you're going to post impressions. And don't get thrown off the slow pace at the beginning.
I never thought Uzumaki was downright scary, but I loved reading it at night in bed. The creepy atmosphere was wonderful. I wish horror was a bigger genre in manga.
I don't know, I never cared much for horror manga, but then I saw the cover of this manga when I read Black Paradox yesterday and I realized that I should read it since I always see its name pop up.

Is the live action movie actually any good?
For sure.
I think its almost impossible for a comic to actually be frightening (mostly because sound/music is so important for horror?).
But Junji writes these really neat stand alone short stories just makes them creepy as fuck.
Uzumaki's snails man.. and the spiral town with everyone packed into the wooden spiral.. house.

Gintama 441
Aww its over? I'm going to miss Goriko.
At least there's always doujins and fanart.
Beelzebub 200-201
Good chapters primarily because they both had Aoi making her apperance.
Guess it'll be Himekawa as the next one to get the crest, followed by Tojo.

The problem I had with Uzumaki was that I actually went a bit too long, imo. The last volume wasn't really creepy anymore and just ridiculous. I probably would've liked it more, if it was shorter, with a different ending perhaps.
While that might be true, it doesn't explain the lack of good horror anime.

No horror manga to adapt!

Is there even a market for horror anime? I have no idea what's popular and how the networks work in Japan

Another
Biohazard
Blood-C
Danganronpa
Deadman Wonderland
HOTD?
Sankarea?
Are considered horrors, so I guess there is a market for these anime...

The anime wasnt horror? Did you see the first episode? I think it would qualify as one.
I read 6 volumes. It's bloody and kind of creepy but that's it.
And the MC is terrible.
Sankarea is a romantic comedy. How is it a horror manga/anime?
Dangan Ronpa isn't really a horror, it's a murder mystery. HOTD and Another are way to over the top to be actually scary. Sankarea is a romantic comedy.

Someone say horror? 3 of my top 5 are horror.
Franken Fran, Screaming Lessons and Tasogare Otome x Amnesia. I wish MAL had a way of breaking down lists by genre since it'd make it easier to find more. Ibitsu, Sugar Dark, School Ningyo and the Skyhigh series spring to mind.
Retcon: Oh wait, you were looking for horror anime. In that case, uh, Tasogare then.
