Yea out two manga adaption anime I was looking forward two only one seem to be keeping me to watching that's food wars shokugeki no soma and yea I hope you get read it uptodate at some stage. I'm more shore fan translation is behind manga chapter normally there week head.

Well I will get around to it when I get around to it in regards to Yamada :)

I might get around to Food wars at some point, which do you think would be the best route to go down the manga or the anime in your opinion?

That's a hard one food wars adaption is really great seem faithfull to manga. I say ether one good.route I just cant pick cause anime jsut so fun seeing food being made in animation. So go what you fancy or watch anime then read from last chapter that was adapted

Thanks for the advice there, I will probably stick around with the anime adaption if it remains faithful and doesn't go around changing and altering it's plot "cough akame ga kill cough" and seeing food cooked in motion is a plus.

I'm finally getting around to starting Timur Vermes' Look Who's Back. After that I have Ascendance, the third book in John Birmingham's Dave Hooper trilogy to knock out. I'm also running concurrent re-reads of the Jump Universe novels and L.M. Montgomery's Anne series.

So I spent the last week reading the Hellsing manga and overall, I highly enjoyed it, and yet, I feel just a tad disappointed. I read all 10 volumes in a week, so clearly I liked the series or I would have found myself struggling to get through more volumes. I liked learning about Alucard's true identity and everything about him. At the same time though, I did not know the whole series essentially took place in the course of one night and was all essentially just one giant ass battle.

It just made a few of the character motivations confusing and I do not like what they did with Walter as it seemed out of character for how he acted in the first half of the series. Also, it was weird having Alucard not around for two volumes since he is the main character of the story. He is pretty much the Hellsing version of Goku. This series could have been done in 8 volumes as there was a lot of pages that were pointless. Not to mention there were chapters that were like 7 pages long, making them entirely pointless. Maxwell, on the other hand, confused me. He just suddenly has an army of crusaders and wants to kill everyone in Britain. That came out of no where.

Nevertheless, Hirano did manage to capture some great character moments in the middle of the battles (well, as long as your name is Yumi or Heinkle), which was nice. In fact, it was quite odd to learn about Alucard, Anderson, Seras, and the french dude over the course of the giant battle. Hell, he even managed to give a personality to the major.

Overall, I highly enjoyed the series, but it being one long battle really through me off. I was really expecting there to be a little more build up and mystery to the nazi army before things hit the fan, but that was clearly not the case. Nevertheless, I really want to watch Ultimate now.

Hellsing Ultimate is great. I love the manga too, but I do think the early 2000's TV series is not too bad. If you watch it as a stand alone show then it's pretty good.

The old anime lost me when they brought in Incognito. He was such a lame villain.

The one episode of filler I did like from the old anime was the snuff film episode.

I've been reading a bunch of Saint Onii-san lately. It's so hilarious. I liked the movie and ovas, but the manga is something else...helps that it's longer. Very fun.

I've finished re-reading the whole Skulduggery Pleasant series. Love that series so much! I've also started re-reading Death Note and Rurouni Kenshin.

so i learened there a fan scanlator called horriblescans just like horrible subs they rip from crunchyroll manga so every where online whee you go to read managa is now uptodate with yamada does this mean i start reading it free else where not really due to the fact they be up on wednesday for people to read it, so i will still be sticking with crunchyroll

I bought One-Punch Man volume 1 the other day (after months of trying to find a copy), I read the first few pages...I think I'm gonna enjoy this.

Well it just came out this september, so...? At least in the US anyway...

But yeah, I read the first ten ish chapters or so in anticipation of the anime, it's pretty much amazing. There's a Kamen Rider parody in there eventually so I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy that too.

the anime started this month

Got the Imperial Handbook today and I love it just like I love every book out of this line. I hope there'll be more - I still need the Smuggler Handguide.

Next month, actually. Same day that Kamen Rider Ghost starts.

Started reading Tokyo Ghoul last week. About 20 chapters in. So far, not too different from the anime so nothing really exciting me yet. But I'm still enjoying it.

Been reading Ajin: Demi-Human. It's awesome and can't wait for the TV series.

Started reading The Sword of Summer today. I'd forgotten how much I love Riordan's stuff. I'm impressed that he's managed to make three entire series with very similar sounding premises so completely unique. Nothing feels copied and pasted from the Percy Jackson or Kane Chronicles books at all so far.

Just finished reading volume 4 of A Certain Magical Index. The logistics of Angel Fall still don't make any sense to me, but it was a nice read. I still have to give volume 5 a go, really looking forward to Accelerator..

Started read the fourth 3-1 of yugioh that's 10 11 12 volumes in one and the only thing that bugs me in the dualist kingdom arc in viz translation is them naming Pegasus j Crawford that his Japanese name as dub name maximillion j Pegasus while all the other character and even sub villains have there Japanese name. That's the only grip I have

Finished Tokyo Ghoul. Jack's next on the list before starting on :Re. But at the rate I read this, I should be caught up in no time.

Also, after having it for I think a whole year now, I finally started reading A Storm of Swords.

Still reading the KH manga, it made characters i did not care about in the games actually really likeable, like Namine and Demyx, honestly surprised.

The Kingdom Hearts manga was pretty good. I wish we got a anime adaption of it. I can totally see it airing on Disney XD here in the US.

I would love that so much. :lol

"The Age of Ra" and "the Novice" are the books I'm reading right now.

I've been reading some manga. Trying to catch up on Tokyo Ghoul. Didn't really care for Jack, but I'm really liking re. I'm guessing because studio pierrot hasn't had a chance to take a shit all over it it brings back less painful memories. Dunno. It's fun though.

I also read/caught up on Murcielago. It's...fucked up, definitely one of the most fucked up things I've read. It's great, and I love it. It's completely hilarious and charming and it's a ton of fun. Though...the School Destruction arc kinda went to a dark place, which is saying a lot for this manga. I mean, on numbers alone it's by far the arc with the least casualties and the least violence, but....urgh. The entire point of the manga is that the main character is a horrible psychopath, but that is really the first time you see concretely just how evil she can be. It's unsettling, but I suppose that's the point.

Last book I read was Jurassic Park. I started reading The Lost World but had a lot of games and shows I was going through so I just fell off the book. I should probably pick it back up now.

Last comic I read I believe was DC Identity Wars. I've tried reading some others since then, but didn't ever get very far. I guess I haven't been in a comic-y mood. Last one I attempted was Batman: Year One around Halloween (I picked it up along with Ultraman Vol 1 and Cowa) but didn't finish it because I had a lot going on at the time.

Last manga I read was Ultraman vol 1. Definitely interested in reading more of this series.



If this post taught me anything, it's that I'm easily distracted from comics and books. I have so many to go through outside of what I mentioned here, it's not even funny.

Finally got around to reading volume 1 of School-Live. Man, the anime took a lot of liberties (though as far as I can tell, for the better). Mainly this stems from the anime including Miki and Taroumaru in the cast from the beginning (Miki first appears in the last page of volume 1) and thus expanding scenes to include them, but in general a bunch of reveals are better paced and spaced out in the anime. I like how they adapted it a lot more.

Not that it's underwhelming as a manga or anything. It's fine, and the art is great. Still, been a while since I've seen an adaptation that unambiguously improves on the original work.

I'm currently working on Stan Lee's manga "Karakuri Dôji Ultimo".

Monster Musume vol 8.

While the last chapter (the one setting up the mermaid arc) was disjointed the rest of it was enjoyable and funny too. Having to wait half a year for Vol 9 is going to suck, but it's a quality series. I think I can handle the wait.

Batman Beyond 2.0 Vol 3:

The last Batman Beyond stories before DC did that stupid OMAC future thingy that nearly everyone hates. And boy howdy while a few plots are left hanging overall it's a solid conclusion to the BB story and it leaves windows open in case DC decides to revisit our future hero at some point.

Slowly but surely making my way through The Darkest Minds. After that, I will then read The Coldest Girl In Coldtown and after that, I will start off the first part of the Star Wars: Darth Bane trilogy.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and Silver Surfer are both delightful series that people should read.

I've been reading a lot of Umaru chan, that's about it.

I fucking love Murcielago.

Not read it but apparently this is a thing.

They should do a Goonies book in this style.

I've been reading The Count of Monte Cristo, it's incredibly engaging, and while it's not really the main part reading about Napoleon has piqued my interest, I studied the French Revolution in school, but never Napoleon, so after this I should pick a good book or documentary on the topic.

And I picked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Deviations in a whim, and I was genuinely surprised, guess I will have to get around to reading the main book.

While I'm trying to catch up with my Ajin manga volumes, I'm reading Oniwakamru the Visitor and it's pretty awesome so far. If you like stuff like The Guyver or Devilman, you should be right in home for this manga. I also pick up the first volume of Terra Formars and I plan to read it soon. I hear cool things about it.

So I've officially read further in the My Hero Academia manga than the anime is currently up to. Reading the stuff I've already watched was kind of weird, but I think I chose a good point to switch over to the manga - I'm definitely enjoying the manga more now. Probably gonna go pick up the next two volumes tomorrow, since i'm absolutely loving this series. Too bad I have to wait for August for the next volume :\
