The Horror, Science-Fiction and Fantasy Thread

A place to discuss all things related to sci-fi, supernatural or legends, or whatever you want. Anything that fits within the bracket of the title - films, TV shows, books, music, comics, plays, art, whatever. Everything from Star Trek and Buffy to anime and the poems of Coleridge or the novels of Anne Rice. If it's weird or futuristic, you can talk about and discuss it here. A one-stop shop for nerding!

Enki Bilal's comics don't get enough love.

Re-watched the original anime last year. Sure, it's an incomplete story, but it's still awesome.

Have you read the manga? The show had the best part of the series but was a relatively small slice of the original comic. Kinda tempted to rewatch the series myself tbh. I finally reread past the Dark Eclipse so it's about time.

No, but I've heard that it's pretty big. Haven't ever read that much manga at all tbh. I followed Dragon Ball for a number of books many, many years ago and read something silly like Oh My Godess, plus the first few Akira books. That's all. It's been all about anime otherwise, which I've got a moderate amount of experience with.

Never heard of him. What’s a good book to check out?

The Nikopol Trilogy should probably always be the starting point. Not his first work, but the most iconic.

Plus it should still be available in a collected volume, since it was reprinted not that long ago.
