 Talking about stuff like this makes me wonder if I should try to do manga reviews in this thread. I have never really wrote a review before, and this thread could help me get good at writing them. What do you think?

Go for it.

Ditto.

As for the comment that Toriko's merits are its sillyness - that gave a bit of perspective back to me.

Actually, I would be really glad to read such reviews. And I remember we went over it god knows when. Maybe about 20 pages back? So I do think now's the prime time for you to write some.

Okay thanks guys, I will do it.

I guess I should start with something simple, the first saga of One Piece maybe? That would work, I have been rereading my volumes as of late. Also been rereading my Hunter x Hunter volumes so that might come next.

As much as I love Nausicaä, Berserk and some Osamu Tezuka and Go Nagai manga, those would take a very long time to write about. Besides just reviewing the manga themselves, I am also going to get into the history, trivia and a bit of analysing. It will take some time(days maybe? sooner if I can) but you will know when the review is done, because it's going to be a long post from me.

And now getting off that topic. In the post that this post is a reply to, eroeru you seem to cool down on Toriko but the next post where you talk about it... You are over-thinking the silly manga where the whole world's economy is based on food again.

Seriously if the morals of Toriko were bad, really bad I would be all over it's case with a ton of anger. Like say Hetalia, a "cute' gag series(that's not funny) that Japan had no right to make.

@Logan Hope you like Bakuman, I think it will help you learn a thing or two about manga, and what goes into making manga.

Also pizza is indeed amazing.

Well a manga about manga should only be a manga no?

I wouldn't say that. That's like saying a movie about a writer should only be a book. And if it's anywhere near as good as Death Note, it's probably a good anime anyway.

I actually perffered death note live action movie to the anime. >.<

It had a much better ending.

[Some Geth]

Yeah but is the movie based on a book? Is the said book a love letter to what goes into making books? Because Bakuman is just one big love letter to manga, right down to getting into manga history. It just would not be the same thing as anything other than a manga, hell I know I have seen the anime.

And the series is better than Death Note, because Death Note became kind of sucky after L dies. Oh and Death Note was better as a manga anyway.

@Logan. That's exactly why the movie is better.

@geth. I believe the moive is based on the manga but it altered the way certain events played out. Near and Mallow aren't in it because L never dies.

[Arch1eviathan]

A lot of anime don't do the Manga justice because of the way they portray certain characters or events. I love the Naruto manga but I can't stand the anime and the clusterfuk of filler episodes.

[Some Geth]

True, the anime shows can be used as big budget(lol no) commercials for the superior manga series.

But a manga still has to become somewhat popular to get an anime, as you will find out from Bakuman that can be really hard.

A lot of anime leaves out little things because then you don't know the whole story. It makes people want to know more. So they buy the manga. It's pretty clever actually.

The reason the anime fans do not get the whole story, is because more than likely the anime came out as the manga was still ongoing. So really it's just the anime people being dumb because they can't wait for a manga to end first or for the manga to at least be a few years ahead.

If it's not that reason, the anime studios must be really dumb to mess up a manga.:happy:

Oh being a manga writer/artist is a very hard job to do(it can even kill you), more so if it's at Jump it's really about luck. Like it really was lucky that Hiroshi Gamō came back as Tsugumi Ohba and got a great artist like Takeshi Obata to help out on the art.

And even then, look what they have to live up to? Tezuka, Oda and some others already have put more hard work into their manga than any other mangaka could ever do. There is a lot of pressure for these guys to get one chapter out for the deadline.

You are right "being a writer is an unforgiving life sometimes", but being a mangaka is an almost suicidal line of work if you can't hit big or worse you do hit big.

[Some Geth]

That's what I was going for, or should I say Bakuman was going for? Since the uncle was Hiroshi Gamō before Death Note happened. Also the man who started manga did in fact work himself to death.

Oh it's not near-impossible for you, it is impossible for you, more so if you want your manga to be popular. There really is almost no non-Japanese mangaka. I had a friend from Vietnam who try the same thing as you did, but he could also draw, really well in fact... But everywhere he would go to, they said his art looked more like Manhua so he never got a job in Japan.

Just giving advice.

I would care for pizza actually. I am full of envy.

As they say the Greater the challenge the Greater the Reward.

Also what doesn't kill us normally will in its second attempt.

[Some Geth]

Not to be rude, but talk is cheep.

When there are better people(and the always are) than you at this line of work, who could not make it. Your chances are then very low, not saying don't try but I hate to see people work themselves to death. I mean I get why Dr. Osamu Tezuka did it, he loved making  his art more than his own life, he could of stopped anytime he wanted to. He sure as hell had the cash and he knew he had stomach cancer, he was a doctor after all. But like I said he put his art over his life because he, well was the "father of manga" and I can understand that. However no one else should go that far, in my view.

Say what you want about One Piece, but the mangaka does work himself very hard and I hope nothing horrible will become him, since he has a wife and two young children. I am someone who wants him to go on more breaks so he can be healthy. But I know how Jump is and just how popular the series is, so no breaks. Again hope nothing bad happens to him.

So to be a little less over the top, try writing normal books first or better write comics from the west first, since that could get you name out there at least. And that would help you better to get into manga, I think one American guy did something like that once.
