do any of y'all read manga?
they are wicked over priced and its annoying to have to read from back to front (why cant they just flip the images?)
but they can be fun
i just bought the rest of the HELLSING series off of amazon.com. alucard is my favorite manga character so far. he is a very japanese version of count dracula who is currently employed by the hellsing foundation as a vampire hunter. very bloody
i also just bought the rest of VAMPIRE GAME out of borders. (hmmm is there a theme here?) its the fun story of a girl and her pet cat-like creature who is really the reincarnation of the vampire king who was killed by her great grandfather 100 years ago
then there is REVOLUTIONARY GIRL, the story of an extremely odd boarding school where the student council is in league with "end of the world" who is going to bring some kind of mystical revolution to the world.
we have a few others floating around but these are the only ones i have bought all the issues to
so does anyone else like manga?
City Hunter
Cats Eye
Silent Mobius
Mr. Clice
and Lemon People.
the last is out of print tho... :(

Blade of the Immortal and Ghost in the Shell are two mangsa that everyone should read, Ghost in the Shell more so.

I haven't read any manga but I've seen quite a few episodes of Dragonball Z:
Goku: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!! (powering up involves shouting for some reason)
5 minutes of yelling and glowing later
Vegeta (in thought): Impossible! How did Kakarot get such power??
Goku unleashed energy, which travels slowly toward the enemy.
1 minute later, energy hits bad guy, who shrugs it off (meanwhile all surrounding wilderness/city gets destroyed, and the good guys are completely indifferent...)
And so on. At the end of the episode they've completed about 1/5 of a fight scene.

or battle angel alita, for the english version.
i kinda like reading them backwards, dunno why, but it seems more natural(or easier at least) to flip through books and magazines 'backwards'
plus it preserves the original artwork/layout etc.
read someplace that more of the errors/imperfections are noticeable when you flip/mirror artwork. not sure why, probabally something pysch-related.

Has anybody read the Gundam SEED Astray mangas? If so, what are your thoughts on it?
The Neon Genesis Evangelion Manga comics are awesome
Of course, Akira must be mentioned. The pinnacle of Manga art and entertainment.

Do you happen to know if it's better then the anime? I know there is a bit of difference in the ending ,but thats it.
Do you happen to know if it's better then the anime? I know there is a bit of difference in the ending ,but thats it. The Manga makes even less sense. The main character says; "It hurts" and then, from what I can tell, fades into nothingness... or something.

It has some extra stuff in in there. Pretty funny yet hard to follow.

Sounds ok, I think I might read it the next time I go to the book store.
