I'VE GOTTEN MY COMPUTER TO STOP OVERHEATING AND BEING A GENERAL DICK

PEOPLE, TELL ME WHAT DATE LOGS I STILL NEED TO SET UP

/GOES TO SET UP CONCERT LOG WHILE I'M AT IT

ALTERNATIVELY, RECOMMEND MANGO, AS A CHANGE OF PACE FROM COMICS

I recommend:


Monster (A DOCTOR HUNTS A SOCIOPATH HE SAVED FROM DEATH WHEN SAID SOCIOPATH WAS A CHILD; EVERYONE GETS TO REGRET IT)

Billy Bat (MINDFUCKERY AND AN ANCIENT CONSPIRACY/GROUP, WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER BEING SOME SCHMUCK WHO'S JUST WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT HE PLAGIARIZED A JAPANESE COMIC)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (HYPER KARATE BETWEEN SUPER BUFF AND SUPER FABULOUS DUDES -Part 1 is slow to get going but is AWESOME when it does, Part 2 is the best, Part 3 is the most well known, and from there on, well, you probably should start from the earlier parts, really)

Dorohedoro (SUPERVIOLENT ROMANCE MURDER CUTENESS HILARITY, IT IS FUCKING HARD TO DEFINE)

Blue Heaven, Jiraishin, Tetsuwan Girl (BASICALLY ANYTHING BY TAKAHASHI TSUTOMU, TRUST ME)

BLAME! (NEAR INCOMPREHENSIBLE PLOT MADE MORE INCOMPREHENSIBLE BY ALMOST TOTAL LACK OF DIALOG, MADE TOTALLY AWESOME BY THE ART)

Kaiji (THIS REALLY FITS MORE UNDER ANIMU - SUPER DEPRESSING GAMBLING CHALLENGES TO GET OUT OF CRUSHING DEBT)

Akagi (ALSO ANIMU -CRAZY MAHJONG GAMBLING BY DEMON TEENAGER WHO DRIVES CARS OVER CLIFFS)

Liar Game (MORE LIGHT HEARTED GAMBLING CHALLENGES TO GET OUT OF CRUSHING DEBT)

Franken Fran (LIKE THE TWILIGHT ZONE, BUT WITH A MORALLY CHALLENGED ADORABLE FRANKENSTEIN GIRL SURGEON WHO HAS REALLY TWISTED IDEAS OF SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS PRESENTED TO HER)

BioMeat: Nectar (WORLD HUNGER IS CURED BY TINY CREATURES THAT ARE EASILY MADE AND EAT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING; CLEARLY NOTHING CAN GO WRONG WITH THIS)

Maka Maka (THE ONLY LESBIAN SMUT YOU CAN PROBABLY FIND THAT HAS HEART, WARMTH, AND ACTUALLY ACCURATELY DEPICTED SEX, BEING A MESH OF AWKWARD AND FUNNY)

I AM GOING TO GIVE THE SHIFT KEY A REST FOR NOW

WELL GEE LET ME THINK

BOKURANO FOR DEPRESSING/GREAT CHARACTER-DEVELOPMENT (I RECOMMEND THE ANIME BUT WHATEV)

SIDO-OH/SIDOOH FOR KOREAN SAMURAI SHIT IDEK

ARES FOR BEAUTIFUL (IMO) EPIC HISTORICAL-BASED FIGHT SHIT (writing's okay i read it for the art)

for cutesy shit i recommend an anime called Oh! Edo Rocket which can be somewhat hard to find.

umumummmm... god i watch more anime than i read manga for some reason ugh
and i don't think you'll like any of my recs soooooo idk

[identity profile] dreadable.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I was just looking through my external that i keep anime on and i have oh! edo rocket, but i never got around to watching.

[identity profile] iron-fister.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
oh my god you have oh! edo rocket? fuck yeah i love you

now you just need to watch it

seriously it looks really dumb but it's really really good and everyone's adorable and jesus it's just so jdlkafj;lafj;lda

also: watch kaiba. everyone should watch kaiba. and um idk i forget i've watched too many

[identity profile] iron-fister.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
well
bokurano is pretty fucked up
sidooh/sido-oh is a v. serious seinen from korea or something
fucked up odd stuff
i actually try and find those but the recs i have for you right now are mostly animes but whatev here goes

anime:
bokurano
ghost hound (idk i still have to muster up enough patience to watch it)
kurozuka is pretty weird and time-travel-y and confusing-ish idk i dropped it
Mouryo no Hako is about a serial killer who keeps chopping off body parts and there's this weird creepy-ish girl and idek but it has a lot of tl;dr in it.
kaiba's very odd. it looks really kid-like yet someone dies of getting oversexed in the second episode
movie-wise there's Perfect Blue which is a Satoshi Kon
fuck anything Satoshi Kon touches is twisted
Hell Girl/Jigoku Shoujo is interesting as well and uhhhhhhhhhhhh

idk manga-wise i've been out of a manga kick for awhile

[identity profile] thenightinstead.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
LMFAO JIGOKU SHOUJO i played from it so i'm allowed to make fun of it (actually anyone is allowed to make fun of it because it's crap)

and i love-love-loved the first episode of mouryou no hako and the rest was aight but it set my expectations... for schoolgirls in horrifying codependent love dancing in the moonlight... and then there was nothing but dismemberment :(

[identity profile] iron-fister.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
BUT IT'S LOVELY CRAP AND I WILL STANDBY IT FOREVER

i've been meaning to go back into the series because i stopped watching around episode 3 because of all the tl;dr and whatnot

but yeah i basically was freaked out by the girly the most because holy shit what was wrong with her

This was me while I was reading it:

"oh god that kid's going to be like Taichi from Digimon I just know i-- OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED

OH MY GOD THIS IS HORRIBLE

NOW SHE'S PLAYING THE PIANO WHY AM I CRYING SO HARD

NO NOT THE AMUSEMENT PARK

OH MY GOD MRS. TANAKA IS SO FIERCE SHE OH GOD NOOOOOOO

Oh well this is sweet in kind of a melancholy JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK OH GOD

OH SHIT WHY IS HE DOING THAT OH GOD THIS IS AWFUL

That was really good. I'd better throw out this empty box of tissues."

DID YOU READ THE MANGA OR THE ANIME BECAUSE I WATCHED THE ANIME AND THERE'S THIS VERY SATISFYING PART WITH DUNG BEETLE AND IT WAS THE MAIN PART I WAS LIKE

"FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

Re: lol spoilers are here

[identity profile] finchesenroute.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I heard about that and had such a "FUCK YEAAAAAH" moment despite never having watched the anime. I just read the manga, which was very enjoyable.

This was pretty much my expression through all of it, though:
