Went through all 17 volumes of Shin Angyo Onshi and I'm not disappointed. I will say that things got a bit Berserk-like near the end.

Sad death scene is sad.

At least she went out all DBZ-style on Shuten. That was awesome.

So, is anyone else checking out Kouta Hirano's new manga, Drifters? It looks like he has the potential to be as epic as Hellsing.

**Siriel** · 12-10-2012, 06:55 AM

I''m following it. Better than Hellsing, in my opinion, but then I never really understood the Hellsing craze.

The Black King is obviously spoilers:

Jesus

end of spoilers, by the way.

Hmm, checking out a seinen series called Green Blood.

I'm a tad mixed. On one hand, it's kind of cool to have the setting taking place in The Five Points, reminding me of the film Gangs of New York. Not to mention it had a neat premise, the action is kind of good for a seinen, and the protagonist despite his role is pretty sympathetic.

However, I suddenly notice the pacing is starting to increase, to a point it may possibly be a very short manga series from the looks of it, going as far as to tie loose ends.

You should try Defense Devil by the same author. It's like a mix of Chrono Crusade with hints of D.Grayman.

I've gotten pretty far into it, actually and been meaning to get back into it.

JoJo:

In which we learns, Joseph Joestar operates on a rarely seen before level of Boss.

Saint Seiya Omega:

Having evil parents suck. Having your evil mother prefer the protagonist's evil side to you sucks more.

Good thing Eden doesn't know yet, well that and him switching sides. Which was boring as hell but whatever. At least the Leo Saint got some desperately needed character development. I kind of like him now.

I still stand by my assessment that the actual subtitle for Part Two was Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Joseph Joestar Is Awesome.

So, apparently I ran into a bit of news: Nanatsu no Taizai will be getting its own anime soon. Naturally, I was ecstatic to hear this. Especially when the manga is recent(it was just released this year in fact) and barely has two full volumes worth of story content so far. But I was too excited to care about that detail. Eventually, I stumbled onto a site with coverage on the anime and it even had a few images, so I decided to take a look.

This is the anime, Nanatsu no Taizai.

This....is not an anime adaptation of the manga. In fact, the anime and manga have nothing to with each other and aren't even the same franchise. They just happen to have the same title. ^_^***

*continues his incoherent tirade for another ten minutes--in between targeting random countries with his Dimension Cannon--before taking a long, cleansing breath* I...was mildly disappointed by such an unintentional troll. Yes..*twitch*...I'm sure it was unintentional.

Yeah, having a generic name like "The 7 Deadly Sins," explains why this happened.

That sucks. I bet Suzuki Nakaba is fucking raging right now.

I guess if he ever allows a studio to animate his manga, he'll have to insist that they use the american translation as a title to avoid a potential lawsuit. It's either that or he'll just have to modify the title to distinguish the two.
