Depends on which anime you watched.

If it's the original one, YES, read it. The story is so much better aka crazier.

If it's ultimate, then no because it's a pretty faithful adaptation.

I didn't even now there was another anime. I guess that means another one for the list ...

 

[Antiwhippy]

It's a pretty fast read anyway. 10 volumes is like an afternoon.

 

[Kurita]

And for anyone wondering, the rumor consists of the fact that the nisekoi.jp domain has been registered to Shueisha.

Heh, Haikyu!! already has a website.
It existed before we knew that a "certain volleyball anime" got green-lit, so I'm not sure that's enough evidence...

But on the other hand, Nisekoi is obviously getting an anime so... Oh well :lol

It's a lot, when you have 20 other manga you want to read.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Just as a warning though, 90% of what happens in hellsing, especially the latter parts, is bullshit.

Just enjoy the spectacle.

I doubt it's going to be as bad as Variante. And as long as the art is good, I won't complain that much. It's not like I'd ever expect some masterful story from Hellsing, after watching the first anime.

I really enjoyed Hellsing but I hope this doesn't happen with Drifters as well.

Akame Ga Kill 36

Finally been waiting forever for this. Totally badass chapter.
Seems like they are trying hard to make Tatsumi x Mein OTP.

I don't know if could read 10 volumes of the same manga in one sitting, or even in the same day.

 

[Jintor]

Man say what you like about Funimation's dubbing choices for One Piece, at least their dialogue is at least 3x better than whoever did this manga

 

[Dedication Through Light]

dumbyugi, how often do you visit the M-H WSJ thread?

And for anyone wondering, the rumor consists of the fact that the nisekoi.jp domain has been registered to Shueisha.

A website implies an anime is coming?

If I ever get a free day to myself I just marathon things like crazy. Happens to me with books as well. Just can't stop reading.

I believe the first time I read through glass mask it was from 10pm to 8am. Can't do that anymore though.

 

[Jintor]

"Rufi"? Really? Great job. Blargh.

Jesus, the anime really does take these scenes and fucking stretch them for days, huh. I'm pretty sure I just covered an entire half-hour in about 10 pages.

 

[dumbyugi]

Manga rarely get there own websites unless they have an anime or an anime in the works.

Are you comparing the dialogue of the anime with the scanlations?

 

[Jintor]

Yes I'm arbitrarily comparing two things that aren't anywhere in the same league I realise that shut uppppppp

Spider-Man - The Manga 1-3

This is really bad. I don't know if it was normal at the time, but the story and characters are overly simplistic and flat out boring. Even the way some reactions are handled are just dumb. "Oh no, it's Electro, the electric man! He's a cyborg!", "what? Electro, the electric man? Electricity runs through his body?". Come on, we get it now.

Sometimes the way the story is told doesn't make any sense. Our Japanese Spider-Man kid here, Yu is his name, gets visited by his pen pal, some girl. Her brother vanished and she needs Yu's help to find him, because their mother is in the hospital and she can't pay the bills. Yu agrees to help her and they go to look for him.

"That guy you're looking for? Oh, he doesn't work here anymore. He went to the Fuji Speedway to become a race driver!"
*cut*
"Oh, that guy you're looking for? He doesn't race here anymore. He left to become a boxer!"
*cut*
"Oh, that guy? Well ..."

I'm sure you get it now. Then, Electro shows up, robs some banks, the police puts a bounty of $100,000 on his head, Yu gets him and he gives the money to his friend. She accepts it, is thankful and heads off to wherever she came from. No questions asked.

Like I said, I don't know if it was normal for comics to be that stupid, but it's definitely not an enjoyable experience.

 

[Kurita]

Murata should do a Spider-Man manga.
I mean, he already knows how to draw him.

No, I'm pretty sure that was an infamously bad adaptation of the comic.

It even appeared on Cracked.

 

[Reknoc]

Sounds like a typical comic tbh

I don't know, it seems to lack and real story flow. I'm sure modern western comics are much better these days.

Obvious spoilers of course.

NSFW too, due to an official adaptation of mega man featuring a nudist Roll.

Also features a hilarious batman manga adaptation.

I'll read the article later, after reading some more to see how bad it gets.

READ ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN

No.

By that logic he should just do everything.

for the record: he totally should

I really want him to draw a One Piece chapter, though. Maybe that way the art wouldn't be some unrecognizable mess.

 

[Antiwhippy]

You guys do know that there are good manga artists not called murata, right?

 

[brotkasten]

Oh, absolutely. Boichi is also really, really good. Or Miura. Or Kakizaki Masasumi. I love all of their work so far.

I also can't wait to read Vagabond.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Inoue is busy with Vagabond and REAL though.

 

[Kurita]

Sure, I also love Asano, Inoue, Obata and Hanazawa but Murata is still my fav.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Not to say that murata is amazing though. I have no idea how he is able to sleep.

It's not even his sleeping schedule I'm wondering about, but more about his social life and if he ever leaves the apartment. It seems like all he does is drawing.

 

[Kurita]

Some Hanazawa goodness

Love his art style.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Some of my favourite manga artists, no order:

Hirohiko Araki (JoJo)
Takehiko Inoue (Vagabond, REAL, Slam Dunk)
Kentaro Miura (Berserk)
Yuusuke Murata (Eyeshield 21, One-Punch Man)
Naoki Urasawa (Monster, Pluto)
Inio Asano (Solanin, A Girl by the Sea)
Tetsuo Hara (Fist of the North Star)
Ryoichi Ikegami (Sanctuary, Strain)

I was surprised to see that Ikegami did Sanctuary, because his art in Spider-Man is not that good. But I assume it's more a product of its time.

 

[BassForever]

Added Vinland Saga to my list, also I'm watch Soul Eater weekly on Toonami I don't plan to read it til the anime deviates from the manga around episode 30

 

[Antiwhippy]

People need to read blade of the immortal to recognise Hiroaki Samura as the amazing artist that he is.

I found the art in the first few chapters really rough but I'm willing to go back to it once I'm done with Ranma and Eden now that it's finished.

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

Eyeshield 21 71 - 150
Welp I think I preferred the anime format, here sometimes there's way too much text, and the action often gets messy, it's tough to follow.

Otherwise it's a nice series (to read while listenning "BREAKTHROUGH").

 

[Defuser]

Jojolion ch 21
Goddammit Johnny Why do he and Jonathan always get the short end of the stick? Both suffer tragic lossses, beaten by Dio and now early deaths.

I'm more or less convinced the Corpse = Stone Mask equivalent.

Anime have shitty art that the manga doesn't compare.
I don't remember any of too much text in ES21 as well..

Spider-Man Manga 1-4

There's some surprisingly nice art in this but the writing is utterly atrocious. It's almost painful to read at times with crap like "THE ELECTRIC MAN ELECTRO" being constantly repeated by multiple characters, multiple times.

Early on the art is average but man it gets amazing.

"Hard to follow"? Now you're just deliberately trying to hurt Kurita's feelings.

You need to show off your Eyeshield 21 collection here. All your talk makes me want to hunt down some figures.

It gets that bad later on? Guess Ill move it lower on my weekly reading list and attempt other high priority series.
