The Anime/Manga thread

[The Batlord]

I ****ing love nerdy ass analysis and speculative videos on Berserk. There's a whole subculture of this **** that I don't know has equivalents for any other anime or manga. Berserk fans are simply an obsessive and unwashed lot to be feared.



Also I've started the process of collecting the deluxe hardcover 7"x10" editions of the Berserk manga and will probably end up gifting my smaller volumes to a friend as they are replaced. Cause OMG must have the best versions possible of all Berserk and then spread the gospel to the heathens.

Nice. I've seen similar styled vids for Hunter X Hunter, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and also Golgo 13. It's always the good ones that get those kinds of videos.

Just got vol 2 of the deluxe edition of Berserk (vol 1 and 3 are on the way but I could get 2 for cheaper from Instocktrades) and it's almost exactly this size, maybe a quarter inch smaller than the actual book. Not even taking it out of the plastic until the others get here.

OMG they're here! I now have the first three deluxe hardcover volumes of Berserk (first nine volumes of the manga) and have cracked open the first and god damn does the size difference make a difference I couldn't have accounted for. It just looks right. It makes me feel like I was originally reading the series while wearing a bad pair of prescription glasses. God have mercy on my soul.




Also here's the official most recent pic of me just cause I had the camera open. Check the sexy hair.

God may forgive you, but Miura-sensei shall not.

PS: I love you instocktrades.com. You have some bombass deals and even if you can't quite compete with Amazon as far as selection goes it's nice to have a site that isn't Amazon to buy comics from. But please ****ing stop using UPS. This **** was supposed to come last Saturday.

Aww **** you pulled the trigger.. NICE!

On an unrelated note, have you checked out Dorohedoro? I watched the first episode on Netflix yesterday and its pretty trippy and dark. Also, doesnt seem to suffer from the usual cringe(yet), I have high hopes. Too bad its only 1 season.

Loved it. Made me want to finish the manga.

[The Batlord]

Never heard of it. And most anime is only 1 season.

Cut your hair you ****ing hippy.

And yes that size looks way more enjoyable. The single paperbacks are like the size of your hand, whack.

Seriously though, you need to go check out Dorohedoro, Ant and I both say so.
