Just over halfway through Steven King's The Stand! Its taking me a while

I've decided to check out Pokémon Adventures from the beginning since I've never read it. I love so much of it! But as of now I've finished the Red/Blue/Green/Yellow arc. Next up is the Gold/Silver arc in Johto!

I got the new manga Jaco THe Space Patrolman. ONly have read the first 2 chapters but so far it is hilarious.
|
Just finished the Emerald arc. Next is the Diamond/Pearl arc! I love how throughout Pokemon adventures that near the end of a major arc that they thrown little hints to the next arc (like in yellow arc with the silhouette of Slowking or with emerald arc and Archie mentioning Manaphy.)
|
Diamond/Pearl arc is done. Next up is the Platinum arc!
|
Platinum arc completed. Next up is the HeartGold/SoulSilver arc!

After letting chapters build up for a bit I have read the most recent chapters of Hajime no Ippo, and man, I have missed this series.
Still not the best sports manga, that sill goes to Eyeshield 21 in my opinion. |

For how I would rank my favourite sports series would be 1. Eyshield 21, 2. Hajime no Ippo, 3. Kuroko no Basket. Those being my top 3 because I haven't really read that many sports mangas. |

The show has two seasons and I am currently watching the second season called Grande Road. :) (Again, I do believe you will enjoy it. Just give it about five or six episodes for it to hype up.) |
I will take up that reccommendation the cycling series then, well after get through the other series I was watching.
|
A Clash of Kings.
Think I'll be on this one for a while. |
Have to say I'm greatly enjoying Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer.
|
I'm currently reading Laurell K. Hamilton's "Affliction" right now.
|
The Superman Chronicles Volume I, AKA stories from the time where Superman was a violent psychopath of cartoonish caliber.
For example, this excerpt from Action Comics #12, wherein Superman declared war on reckless drivers: http://www.littlestuffedbull.com/ima.../action12f.jpg |
Fantastic Four issues 1 to 10 from 1961

Shingetsutan Tsukihime: Have you ever had to atone for your mistakes? Have you ever hurt someone with no real reason?
Shiki Tohno has to atone for a sin unlike any other, he brutally murdered a stranger with no reason or logic, and when the person he "killed" returns to settle things, his life will change forever. So... I might have developed a bit of an unhealthy obsession with Tsukihime in the past few months, I've always enjoyed Type-Moon works, and their debut Visual Novel somehow managed to hit me in all the right spots. So I've really, really been into all of it's media. I can stop whenever I want to. Totally. Maybe... Anyways, let's leave that up for the shrink. Shingetsutan Tsukihime is the manga adaptation... of the anime adaptation... and anime so hated by the fandom that people like to pretend it never happened. So this sounds like an inevitable trainwreck. But... it's not, in fact it's probably the best way to experience the story for most casual readers. How? Simple, the anime actually had great ideas on how to adapt the story, and it showed a lot of care and love, it just was burdened with awful production values. The manga mostly focuses on Arcueid's route adding elements from Ciel's and Akiha's, which results in a more constant pace, more depth and a healthy does of extra characterization for the main antagonist, which is without a doubt the main strenght of the work, as it creates a stronger narrative overall. The art adapts the world very well, the combat is breathtaking, the characterization is spot on, the action is superb and full of nods to the novel and fighting games. Is it flawless? No, there are a few key concepts I wish had been expanded on. Is it a 100% accurate adaptation? Heck no. But it never aimed at that, nor does it need to, it's really good as as a standalone manga, and it made relive many feels almost like the first time. |
After reading Divergent, I am now reading it's sequel, Insurgent before the movie premieres on the big screen.

Got the first 7 volumes of Pokémon Adventures in the mail from Amazon today. About time I read into this part of the franchise. I should finish the whole Kanto Arc before next week.
|
I'm about halfway through the first book of John Birmingham's new trilogy, Emergence. I think I'm going to have to import the second and third books from Australia, though, since the U.S. release dates are bonkers. He's a heck of a writer. His Axis of Time and Disappearance series are both hella-awesome.
|
Started reading Lone Wolf and Cub from the very beginning(I've read volumes before but not in order). Holy crap. Amazing stuff. The first 16 pages alone. Whoa
|
The more I read Mazinger Z, the less I want to.
I think this started right around the time Ashura's daughters showed up. Talk about gratuitous nudity for no other reason than boobs. Also gore, really disturbing graphic violence intertwined with sexual imagery. This would be somewhat fine if the goddamn tone could be figured out. Funny, horror, perverse, every panel is different, it's all over the place and the pacing is getting really bad. Everything that's set up is resolved in just a few pages, it feels incredibly rushed. I'm also really getting sick of how Sayaka is being handled. She was so great and promising at the beginning of the series. Now she's just a plot device, a character that's sole existence is to give Koji a goal, for the villains to threaten and nothing more. Again, this problem mainly started around the same time Ashura's daughters were introduced. Later on She finally gets a new robot and I figure that maybe we'll get some scenes of her kicking ass, since she has something more up to par. Nope. As soon as she leaves we have her upside down chained to a crucifix with the mech's legs spread. Fucking. Subtle. But then I noticed a problem. The mech is Diana A. Diana A was not in the original Manga. Which means someone fucked up and at some point the volumes switched from the original Manga to the TV Manga. So now I gotta go back and figure out when the hell this happened. At the very least I know it was sometime after Ashura's Daughters ordeal. I'm really hoping that this is at least the reason for the most recent pacing and character issues, if not everything. |
This thread needs more love. Seconds, by Bryan Lee O'Malley. This was an absolutely lovely read. It's funny, cute, charming and a bit surreal at times. Like the Scott Pilgrim series, it has a large focus on admitting mistakes and living with them, but this also features the consequences of changing or avoiding them, due to the nature of the book. The main protagonist is Katie, a young woman who once had the best restaurant in town, Seconds. But shes since stopped running the restaurant and looks to open up a new place. However, after a particularly bad day of being behind on renovations at the new location, seeing her ex she still has feelings for, and just a bunch of other awkwardness, she sees a mysterious being, who we later come to know as Lis. Katie is given a note book and a mushroom. Instructions within the book say to write down your mistake, take the mushroom, go to sleep, wake up with the problem solved. All of this must also happen within the house.(Though the problems need not necessarily take place within the home) Lis says that only one mushroom is allowed. But Katie later discovers a heap of them under Seconds, and begins abusing them. Eventually things start to get bad, the world starts changing, people around her are completely different, shes less happy each time. The more she takes to try and fix the issues in each new scenario, the more problematic things become. The writing it really good. The characters feel diverse. I think the humor is very well timed and paced(I'm particularly fond of the moments Katie breaks the fourth wall to argue with the narrator) and the book knows when to be a little creepy. If there is an issue it is that not everyone really gets a lot to them. Some of the characters are just there, but this is also just one book so I can understand only focusing background details on a select few, mainly those Katie knows the best. Art wise, the book is great. I love, love, love the artstyle. Everyone has a great distinctive look about them. The manga influences can certainly be felt, not only in character reactions and style, but structure. What I mean by that is that there are pages where there is no dialog, everything is said with the art itself. This also isn't too different from certain comics like those by Steve Ditko or Jim Aparo. Granted that is a big statement, and Seconds isn't nearly as detailed, but the intent is largely the same with letting the art do the talking. The arts also gets a little abstract in certain parts, with a running theme being tree branches. Coloring is also very good, again, the abstract portions make very good use of that. Varying shades of red, hard white with black, etc, contrasting with the otherwise very colorful book. I could go on about this, but it's 4:30, I stayed up reading this book and it was completely worth it. It's like $17.99 for the Hardcover on amazon(The pages are also nicely stitched together instead of glued) I highly recommend this, especially if you already like Scott Pilgrim like I do. |
The latest yamada-kun and the seven witch chapter was posted on crunchroll. And my chapter 159 was a doeses.

I read Jaco again and I still enjoy. I also still find Dragon Ball Minus decent. Fans seem to dislike Minus because it changes everything that we saw of Goku's origin. For years, people consider Bardock: The Father of Goku TV special to be canon and have it be the official prequel to the manga. Goku is now a two or three year old kid sent to Earth then as a baby. Which retcons Roshi's story of Grandpa Gohan finding Goku as a child in the Sayain Saga.
Overall good to see Toriyama do another manga. I also enjoy Dr. Slump, Sandland and Neko Majin from Toriyama as well. Quote:

After hearing about how condensed the anime of Yamada and the seven witches I decided to tackle the manga of it.
I am enjoying it so far with me having currently finished the Maria arc and really enjoying how this series is going so far. Really interested in seeing how the other witches arcs will pan out. |

It feels weird after watching the first episode anime and then reading the manga as they cut out a few chapters and it just feels like they are rushing things out a bit. I mean I don't know how much there in it's entirety but I highly doubt they can adapt the rest of the witch arcs and then what happens afterwards in 13 episodes. |
