I really luv finding a good long manga, it's simple teh best! I decided to pick up Yotsuba after years! I haev like 4-5 volumes to read!

I love Devilman. It's one of his earliest serious manga (he did Maou Dante before), so it's a bit odd here and there, but it's good.
You absolutely need to read Devilman Lady though. Similar premise, but instead of pushing the envelope with what was allowed in the 70s (so it's pretty tame no), Lady is hardcore by late 90s standards. The art is better by a lot too. I think the pacing is a bit rough in spots but it is gripping enough to get you through.

you know what's the worst thing about being someone who missed out and decides to read good old classics? grabbing a good manga and finding out that the author died a few years back
i would've loved to send a fan letter to kentaro miura, he's become my role model ever since i read berserk :(
that said i have read berserk, yotsuba&, one punch man, rozen maiden (haven't finished it yet though, i'm not sure if rozen maiden 0 is supposed to be read after or before the "main" manga) and currently reading spy x family, i will read cardcaptor sakura whenever i am feel like it

>i would've loved to send a fan letter to kentaro miura, he's become my role model ever since i read berserk :(
reading the Yu-Gi-Oh manga did that to me
I only started reading it because Takahashi died and goddamn. The very start is a bit rough, but once it gets into gear (pretty much once it starts having multi-chapter arcs), it's so much fun. It's very easy to see why it blew up so big, even before Duelist Kingdom starts.
the sheer hyper-pettiness of Death-T (the THEMEPARK OF DEATH) remains infinitely hilarious

this manga about black magic and evil spirits and life-or-death gambling games is also aggressively about the importance of good friends, good sportsmanship, and having fun

Takahashi died doing an ocean rescue dive -- if he had to go, at least it wasn't overwork like so many mangaka, but it's crazy to think about.
Nothing but respect. ∠(,ﾟ─ﾟ,)┐ Genuinely someone to look up to.


...as an aside, I should see about getting a letter to Go Nagai before I can't. He's 78.

do it while you still can!

>but i forgot most of teh story
that's fair enough considering its slow-pacedness

I watched Monster twice, which is rare for me to do for a show that long. I think it's because you have to appreciate how tight the show is. There's absolutely no filler, even at 74 episodes. The episode with picrel was my favorite one, and not just because it has a loli.

That said, it's definitely gritty over stylish and perhaps not as much of a "noir." More like some post-1960s European Neo-noir if anything. But it is interesting for the same reason as some of these others in seeing a Japanese take on an extremely European setting with often extremely European themes.

love Monster. it's a top 3 for me. been trying to get a lot of normalfags i know to watch it and i never recommend anime to normalfags. i think they would like it if they ever give it a chance. favorite character is the spy who grew up in an orphanage.

Naoki Urasawa has a manga that seems pretty lolicious, i yet not to read it - but main mc is a loli! One volume!

Darker than black season 1 has a really nice noir energy i like

first adaptation seemed darker to me. it's kinda like terra formars season 1 vs season 2. i dont hate season 2 but it lost a lot of grittiness and adds out of place stuff like uwu emoticons.

i just lost all of what i had just written ヽ(´Д`)ノ ah well. i will try and retype the gist of what i had.

fma over fmab by far. it's been a while since i've seen fmab, but i've been meaning to do a rewatch of both of them so i can more properly convey my opinion of why i think this way instead of being so vague or making a fool of myself by misremembering things. i've started my rewatch on fma, so my view of it is a bit more clear (plus i've watched it more than fmab, which i've only seen once years ago and am going off what i remember feeling back then).

fma handles heavy subjects with a lot more tact and depth than fmab does. it feels like fmab throws out going more into heavy subjects in favor of comedic relief or poorly done character writing. speaking of character writing, i'm really not a big fan of the character writing in fmab. the balance between characters and worldbuilding and how both of those things can influence each other is not done very well in fmab from what i remember. the characters take the focus, and there is not a lot of depth to them in the same way there is in fma. but in fma, there is a lot of care put into the world and side and background characters that really makes it feel alive. the world did not feel very alive in fmab. it felt very focused on one singular aspect of story rather than tying all these characters' worlds together in a meaningful way. what i mean by that is that the main focus was, once the homonculi were introduced, trying to defeat them. the homonculi were an obstacle in the way in fma, but they did not overshadow the other things that were happening and that had happened in the world. fmab felt very streamlined, is perhaps a better way to put it.

and, in regards to the comedic relief, fma does it wonderfully. it has a good balance between knowing when to take itself seriously so that a moment feels more impactful and the gravity of a situation (or at least timing the humor or doing it in such a way that it doesn't take away the impact or gravity of a situation) and still having some comedic moments throughout. fmab does this not so well. not so well at all. there were moments i couldn't take seriously, particularly scenes with envy and greed off the top of my head, that had no impact or gravity at all because of poorly timed comedic relief or just treating the situation and characters so lightheartedly that they don't actually feel like they're a threat at all. which isn't inherently a problem, except they were

I was thinking something was off with the ending, turns out the one who killed Oburi wasn't Sawa

Looking through his roles on MAL made me realize Umetsu-sama's style is distinct. He worked on Bleach too apparently

I really liek it

that addon will cost $100000

>>1258
for that price I could just buy a real japanese girl from the black market

There was a lot of "ultraviolence" anime in the 80s and 90s, but I think changes in Japanese law and economic factors killed it off

why would japanese booming economy support ultraviolence in media? not a sarcastic question, really wonder if there is correlation other than better funding for more detailed animation

>why would japanese booming economy support ultraviolence in media?
OVAs were more financially viable at the time, and OVAs didn't have to adhere to the stricter rules of television

there is a 100% chance he considered it, maybe quite deeply even
maybe even months and years of lusting over cute Konata... (*´人｀*)
but something tells me no, he didn't do it
