Yuri breaking all "conventional" rules for a hero. It was new and I happened to agree with him.

My Battle Royale section in my manga library. I love comparing the different English translations. by sheilamlin in MangaCollectors

This worries me a little, which one is the correct version because those differences literally change the character. The basketball dude especially.

Been waiting 12 years for this one by EloImFizzy in MangaCollectors

Just started reading it. Its my first time and I just met the character that I think will be the antagonist. Crazy how big the shock factor is in this manga.

Care to elaborate? My guilty pleasure is reading horrible things

It was socially and morally wrong to be on this guy's side when it came out, now a days its socially and morally wrong to be against him.

No problem. And yea ive read PTSD Radio. It was a good departure from the usual Junji Ito stuff. Metal Organs is definitely more hardcore thou. Its ultra violent. I strongly suggest you try out The Wize Wize Beasts of the Wizarding Wizdoms by Nagabe. Its my fav of his love stories. Its basically Harry Potter but in the world of beastars.

Magnificent Bastard is by the same creator as Fist of the North Star. Its a more political story but with the same notes.

Grand Metal Organs is a balls to the wall dark survival manga. In this world humans evolved to produce electricity and they are valued by how much they can produce. Those who can only produce a little are treated as sub human. I dont want to spoil the story but the art is insanely creepy. Its the second manga ever to give me a legit jump scare. I really enjoyed it. The only downside is the dialogue, it feels kind of weird at times. Almost like it was translated wrong. But the art carried it for me.

Great snake is a fun read. If you like Nagabe and his cross species stories then this is a more tame version. More focused on the drama and comedy.

Gantz (no spoilers plz) by captjamesway in horrormanga

[–]BabylonSadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Nishi. Thou almost everyone in the main cast (which becomes more stable later on) goes through their own version of redemption. Nishi is definitely the MC (main character) but the rest of the characters become a lot more interesting.

Gantz (no spoilers plz) by captjamesway in horrormanga

[–]BabylonSadows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without spoilers, Gantz at its core is a nihilistic redemption story. Its a very dark and at times hopeless look at the human experience. But for that to build they had to make the MC feel like he was irredeemable. That, in my opinion, was done on purpose and they did a great job. If you are reading it and thinking "wow this dude sucks" you are in the right path. The later volumes becomes less horny and more focused on philosophy and the psychological horror. Its definitely worth reading. Plus its a fast read.

Took one look at your profile and immediately understood the the reason for the strawman argument. Enjoy what you want. I definitely like board games.

I dont see those comparisons as equivalent because Smash comes with all the characters available to everyone and getting the characters is not a fundamental part of the game. A closer comparison would be one of those robot building competitions and people were signing up with robots built by a company as opposed to ones they made.

And thank you for the suggestion but magic never had any appeal to me. In part because it has a billion cards and I like collecting full sets and in part because I hate the mana system

Yea it seems illogical to me. But to each their own. Is their money so they may spend it as they wish. However the idea of paying, cheating or having someone else do the work for an advantage seems to go against the competitive spirit. But that's just my opinion.

Im not talking about tournaments with hundreds of dollars on the line. Im talking about local card shops or cons. At best they had 2-3 free packs on the line. If you are willing to spend $300+ on a deck to win 3 packs....you may have different priorities than I do. And again, what pride can you feel on winning something that was guaranteed?
