Things Fall Apart (for school)
Wow to you too... I did say what I was reading, or have recently read, so I was on topic. And I thought I made it pretty clear that I was expressing my own opinion when I stated it was a rant, therefore not strictly judging. It might've rubbed-of as somewhat harsh, so I do apologize, I just wanted to add what I thought about this recommendation (and in the process, adding my own recommendations). If it's manners you want, don't you think it's a little ironic that you are telling me to "shut the hell up"? Sigh... if other tempers agree that I should shut up, I will do so. I really don't think I'm doing anything wrong thoughsinharvest24 said:Sounds like a One Piece fan boy to me
I don't read One Piece but i watch the anime (just started a few weeks ago and i'm still pretty far behind)
I would have included One Piece but i don't/haven't read it yet
as for Naruto, good art?!? i mostly read manga for a good story/excitement and Naruto seems to be fulfilling it's task of having a really good story. (apart from the gayness that naruto wants to do to sasuke)
Bleach on the other hand, too slow? What do you mean by that? Bleach doesn't have a strong story but i always like a good fight and it's got the most awesome characters i've ever seen in an anime/manga. If it's art you're looking for bleach got it
NO WAY DID YOU CALL FAIRY TAIL A WANNABE!!!!!!! GHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
I happen to enjoy Fairy Tail more than any other manga. Fairy Tail is the only manga that i have read and gives me chills every 2-3 chapters. Great story, lots of excitement. What's there to hate in Fairy Tail?
I will try your Berserk, i am always open to great manga.
Definitely a One Piece fanboy
And I really think it is worth reading over watching, the anime is more kid-oriented. But a lot of people I know also love the anime, so it might just be me...
Naruto, well, I dunno... I thought it started out great, but over time it's just lost it's shine. I'd compare it to Harry Potter, it's got lots of fans, but several of the installments have been bashed by critics, and for good reasons (I was a fan for sure). I think there are a lot of Manga's that are better than Naruto, but I also think a weekly 20 pages of Naruto is fine as well.
Bleach... I just think the story doesn't progress as fast as it should, and the fights drag on for too long. A friend of mine, studying sequential art, pointed out how much of the content of each page is white. Literally a page might be totally white, with a single sound effect on it... lazy artist? I stopped following it a while ago, so I might not be the best of critics.
Fairy Tail: Okay, I might've been wrong calling it a wannabe. But, it just follows the shounen formula a little too closely, and it's like it's afraid to do anything new, or take risks... It's got very distinct arcs, and within the arcs it's got all the twists and turns, and drama, but looking at the story as a whole... not much happens. Character development? Eh, barely... I still do read it weekly, and it's definitely entertaining, but I also realize that it's got plenty of flaws. Again though, personal opinion.
Great if you do try reading Berserk! The anime is also great, and recommended, although it stops short (at a pretty critical moment), and to continue the story, reading the manga is the only way.

See? This is the reason why we shouldn't allow airhead fanboy punks the power to use the interwebs. Sure, bash everything and say it's just "your opinion". [sarcasm]Yeah, because your opinion is valuable.[/sarcasm]
BTW, in case you didn't notice, all the other tempers are content to just post what they read, not their opinions, because that's what the thread is about. If you want to rage bout the other manga, use the blogs.
