Anime / Manga

[iGIT]

What are a couple good websites to read manga at? So far the only site i read manga off of is mangastream

[wahwho11]

mangafox off the top of my head. i'm not sure how good it is compared to others.

[ifeelasleep]

mangareader is good

[otlyaa]

for the most part I use mangafox

there's also:

manga.animea.net

mangahere.com

which sometimes have titles that aren't on mangafox

some scanlators only upload to particular sites and some have readers on their site for updates. the other good sites I remember went under after while

[Nicorice]

batoto.com is pretty good and a lot of scanlators support them because they channel their ad revenue to the individual scanlators.

[ubersaladin]

kinda interested in watching fate/zero. which fansubbers are the best for it? will be my first series in a while...i think the last two i watched were level e and kara no kyoukai

Love Cromartie High!

I've been reading Gantz, but caught up so I'm waiting for the issues to space a bit. Anyone have suggestions for anything along the lines of Gantz/Battle Royale?

[deleted342394234]

finished Welcome to the NHK last night.

brb, depression.

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

currently juggling reading Gantz and various odds and ends from Junji Ito (at the moment am on Tomie- oh jesus god)

and watching Cowboy Bebop (with Samurai Champloo due for a rewatching)

i'm also watching Heroman, which is an anime by Stan Lee with Bones. A lot of fun, I have to say.

just read the latest gantz LOLing at the ending..

[akuma no uta]

I'm counting down the hypothetical seconds until evangelion 3:33 and 4:44 come out. getting my second eva tattoo in a few weeks.

[Oscur]

^let's see the first tat

also started reading gantz. shits on shonen manga

[s0apgun]

I hated gantz anime and I don't think I would ever read the manga... the story line is NOT that good

finished steins;gate a couple weeks ago and currently rewatching gungrave

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^i've heard that the Gantz anime suffers from adaptation distillation (as tvtropes puts it) but i'm too lazy to confirm.

how was steins;gate? been curious

also meaning to start gungrave soon

[blm14]

I've seen the whole gantz anime and am only two issues behind on the manga and I can confirm that it doesn't adapt well. I've seen MUCH worse but each individual alien hunt in the manga feels really drawn out in the anime whereas on paper they're quick and surgical. Plus the drawing is fucking incredible, which you don't quite get from the anime:

[redX]

what bothered me is that the drawing and art style is so clean and it feels like there is no soul or motion in any of the pictures. like they are all ultra crisp and clean sports photographs.

guess it has to do with how the manga is done, i think i read that they make a 3d model of every panel and then just trace around what the computer gives you. a kind of surgical procedure that imo doesn't convey any emotion or character

^let's see the first tat

let me try to figure out how to add a photo from my iPhone directly from the app or the mobile version

i didn't mind this at first but as the manga progressed it gets noticeable that the illustrators are getting lazier and lazier.

whatever interest i had for the manga got thrown out when they started the invasion arc. i miss the suspense of the earlier missions

I want to start Stein's Gate but I am way too caught up in Eyeshield 21.

[Ghettobob]

Re-watching this.

[tonyreyes]

I've been rewatching old DBZ episodes lately, I'm right at the start of the Cell saga.

[tylortakahisa]

I'm waiting for Gantz to make any sense again, I miss the good ol' days of alien hunts

and when is goddamn Berserk going to continue!!!!

[Appleseed]

Re-watching this.

finished? Is there a place you're reading it from that's not the first 12 chapters? I was really interested in it when mangastream was doing it but they haven't put any out since then

[MagikBonez]

The show is completed so maybe he was talking about that

[snahfu]
