The Anime/Manga Thread

Users who are viewing this thread

I know this is the anime and manga thread, but hopefully it also includes manhwa, basically the Korean version of comic books and manga. I've been reading Red Storm by Cyungchan Noh (drawn by Hyun Ahm) for a while now, and it is actually really good. Anyone else reading it?

Since I am a piece of ****, might as well make some recommendations. For finished series.
Because... Why not?

Mother Sarah
A mother has to fight her way trough a post apocalyptic wasteland to find her offspring, as civilisation is about to renew itself and reclaim the wasteland.
Includes great scenes like a astronaut debarking from his orbital station on earth, and combusting into flames as he screeches MOTHER EARTH on top of his lungs.

Kekkaishi
Two rivaling families in modern times are descendants of a spiritual bloodline with a secret clan barrier magic. What is a rather simple plot turns into a complete mess, as feudal sensibilties and social structures has survived for the other hidden clans who have breed with the supernatural or mastered magic.
Pretty standard shounen

Sengoku Youko / Spirit Circle / Wakusei no Samidare
Great combination of slice of life, battle shounen and supernatural/ESP fiction.
By the same author.

Black Jack / Phoenix(hito no tori)
The 2 best works of Tezuka Osamu. Everything he wrote that isn't entry level childrens comics is genuinely worth reading.
I.e I would recommend reading MW, which is about a homosexual catholic priest who can't bring himself to stop his boyfriend who is a sadistic evil pretty boy.

Franken Fran
Blackjack is a grounded manga. Franken Fran is a fantastical fable of speculative and poorly thought out science fiction, but its somewhat similar.
It has less gore than Black Jack, but far more unethical stance on magical science fiction surgery.

Nana to Kaoru
A manga which spends 156 chapters trying to explain what BDSM, machoism and self esteem is.
And unlike most porn or fiction, it actuall succeeds.

Ookami no Kuchi: Wolfsmund
A acquired seinen taste, made by one of the people who did assisstant drawing on Kentarou Miura's Berserk.
Like most seinen its read for a combination of blood, gore and suffering.

Fourteen; 14 Sai; 14 Years; 14 Years old; 14岁; 14歳
Might be the best manga I have read.
Its nonsensical and weird, but is also so fantastical each new chapter is a relevation.

Helck
Bog standard shounen without the key Japanese elements like teenagers or modern society.
It reads more like Fist of the North Star than most modern works, which makes it worth reading.

Fire Punch
A cinematic rollercoaster about a immortal who is permanently on fire.

Alien Nine -> Alien Nine Emulators -> Alien Nine Next
A series about cute girls and aliens who have taken over Earth. But its subtle.
Its not disturbing, but be warning you might take sanity damage from reading it.

That sounds pretty interesting, and the end part reminds me of Akira. I will have to check it out! :smile:
 
The last anime I watched was City Hunter. It's old, yea, but it's been interesting. I really do enjoy the 80s-90s anime because of the aesthetic and not 90% of it was weird chibi harem animes. lol

The last manga I read was the newest chapter for Black Clover. It's always good, so I'm never really disappointed in it.
 
Give me your cringiest, ecchiest, most shameless fan-service power fantasy battle highschool harem anime you can think of. I need to jolt my soul back to life.
 
-Vinland Saga is untouchable
-Hunter X Hunter
-Goblin Slayer, Redo of the Healer, Berserk for leud dude Grank (nvm actually your super specific topic is something I've never even heard about lmao)
-Golden Kamuy is funny and awesome I guess I'd add Kenichi Mightiest Desciple here too
-Love Death and Robots is animation in general but it's too good not to add for a watch list.
-Baki
