[Dark Soul # 7]

Welp. Somebody's dying next chapter.

I'm thinking that all three sins are gonna kill one dude each. But Meliodas may get to do it first.

That is very debatable.

...probably.

But using your opponent's attacks to give yourself a perfect shave and haircut just stood out to me.

I doubt Ban is going to kill his 'opponent'. The guy is an apprentice knight and obviously can't even begin to be a threat to him.

I mean, Meliodas and Diane didn't even bother killing Gilthunder, and that guy was actually pretty dangerous.

Meliodas, on the other hand, appears to have entered berserk mode so I can't see the dude who's trying to steal is sword surviving.

...probably.

Sure. I'm just not convinced that it surpasses the "before I die...I wanted to know what happened to the others" thing.

Oh sure, the apprentice guy is probably going to get finger-flicked through a wall or something.

But I think that Ban and Diane are going to face a Weird Fang each, just like Meliodas and those guys seem monsterous enough to be killed off without it being evil.

Sure. I'm just not convinced that it surpasses the "before I die...I wanted to know what happened to the others" thing.

Let se troll-race BEGIN!

JoJo:

This is anime is awesome.

That has to be the manliest Nazi ever.

I'm so pumped up I feel I could do a Kamehameha if I tried.

Considering he's the inspiration behind Guile's hairstyle, he better be.

The anime Skullman and it's corresponding manga have attracted my attention.


spoiler.....




spoilers:

The anime serves as a prequel to Cyborg 009, and it's protagonist is so much like Darth Vader in more ways than one.

I just read the most recent chapters of Garouden and Tanba reminds everyone the he's a beast.

[Mahou Otaku]

Hey all, how's it going?

You know, I call myself an Otaku, and have read tons of manga. But I have to admit, I haven't watched any anime. I've seen Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, and of course caught the odd episode of Pokemon here and there, but otherwise nothing.

Shall I run away in shame now or just bury my head in the sand like an ostrich?

The anime Skullman and it's corresponding manga have attracted my attention.

Skullman was also initially made by Shotaro Ishinomori to be the basis for Kamen Rider, but was told that it was too dark and grim. Pretty much, Skullman is the granddaddy to a lot of shows.

Get him! o_O


...But seriously, I'm sure most of us have preferences one way or the other. I tend to read more manga than I watch anime, but it depends on my mood. I also tend to not watch the same kind of anime as the manga I read.

So what kind of manga do you like? Also, are you actually interested in anime recommendations?

[Bakasama]

I think the other thread Mahou Otaku started answers that.

Oh, I'd love recommendations.

I tend to lean toward Shounen/Seinen stories. I suppose my favorite tags include Romance, Harem, Tragedy. I just pretty much love a great story, though. And as Bakasama points out, I have a thread where I point out my favorite stories, please do check it out!

Yes, I am now seeing the similarites between the two.


After reading the original manga, I've got to say that he's depicted far more as a villain than anything else. I remember the Kamen riders(bastardized versions) from Franken Fran, but I think Skullman makes even them look tame.

There are comics about superheroes fighting normal criminals, but the manga presents a scenario where the only one present is a super villain fighting against (mostly) normal people.


I think it's also good that they've revived and reinvented the series.

Magi 168: I sense a possible curbstomping in the offing... Unless Scheherazade gets involved, this wont go well for Laem. I can't wait to see a true 200 year old Magi at work.

Edit- I completely forgot Alibaba is on that boat, not to mention a bunch of Fanalis. That might change this a bit.

I've stumbled on a interesting manhwa called 'Mrs Angel'. The concept is of a gangster turned housewife who's now trying to live a normal life. Although her past life keeps running after her.


It's pretty light hearted and fun. In a way she's a female superhero; adding emphasis to the excitement of family life. The art is simple yet good, with the simple and bright colours. This gangster mom has faced problems/scenarios ranging from gangsters that were harassing she and her husband, assisting her kid in school, trying to smoke a cigarette in secret and her brother in law coming to stay with them.
