Garnt: I do not like incest. Also Garnt: Doujin: Oreimo parody (Incest) Manga: Domestic Girlfriend (Incest) Anime: Oreimo, Eromanga sensei (Incest) Yeah, sure Garnt, sure.
I looooove how there are people at the studio and you hear them laughing as well. It makes the podcast more funny and more wholesome, especially this episode. Kinda like a live audience
connor: Music to listen to while gaming joey: Music that is probably similar to what he makes garnt: Music to listen to while being transported to another world
@@adidoes9942 why? They’re opinions aren’t all that different from regular peoples. The only difference is they’ve probably read more except maybe grant since he’s way more of an anime person
@@bruis1527 Well, you also have to consider that they are his friends and know his tastes pretty well; so if they recommend something, he would know they're thinking about his tastes when they say that.
What garnt missed out on is actually that natsuki has as much as brain cells that a teenage boy has at that age and the character development as he goes into college and then becoming an adult, the way he matures and accepts the dumpster fire of the situation he's in. There are actually consequences for loving your teacher,your sister like in real life and how characters deals with them
Garnt really sold me on the manga he talked about. He explained them so passionately, and it made them sound infinitely interesting. Even Domestic Girlfriend lol.
If you ever get shamed for liking Domestic Girlfriend just telling them "Wow, I guess you don't support women artists, I guess I'm just built different" Lmao
Ya I get praising his art but it's almost like they weren't crediting One for his amazing writing when One is the reason why One Punch Man exists. Despite his art skill, and his friends and family discouraging him not to become a mangaka, he knew what he loved and kept doing it. I have a lot of respect for One
@@kolortechnician Exactly the opposite of Mob Psycho 100 for me. If it had a spectacular ultra detailed art I think it would lose a lot of its personal and intimate feel.
I love how in Vinland saga, you see Thorfinn, a character that starts so violent and angry, become significantly less violent and go towards living (or trying to) as a “true warrior” without a sword. Then in juxtaposition, you see Canute, who starts off so feebly, change into a much more violent person. They both follow in their fathers footsteps. Vinland Saga is beautiful for a ton of reasons.
In this episode we will see: Joey: The presumably karen-like elite taste in manga Connor: *M O N K E Y* Garnt: Diverse, unexpected, and probably another horrendous opinion edit: wow, its a new dawn, they didn't argue, nor did they follow what they're usually like. This truly is not trash taste anymore, its The Gentlemen's Taste
CORRECTION: Terra Formars is not finished, but it's on hiatus unfortunately because of the writer's health. But the artist has a new sci-fi body horror survival manga called "Gigantis" and it's based on a novel on the same name. Y'all should check it out but it's only 1 chapter for now though cause the manga just recently released last week.
Im guessing the amount of work is totally different or something but how can your series go on hiatus because of health problems but you start releasing a new series?
Ikr how do you even mess up this bad... all their manager had to do is just open MAL and he would see that it's still ongoing to this day XDD "it's finished in 2014" lmao
2:39:46 Conner: "You just looked at me dead in the eyes and said it's the journey" 2:48:01 Also Conner: "Yeah, it's always about that. It's always about the journey"
@@michaelfung4285I dunno dude, a deliberate joke would likely use a more egregious and obvious misspelling than this. This just reads as an honest mistake. Also impostor and imposter are both valid spellings, the -or is just slightly more proper. The -or is the standard convention for conjugation, but -er is more consistent with the rest of English and more intuitive
as someone who loved the black butler anime in that quintessential 13-year-old girl way but grew up and read the manga and absolutely loved it, i have to applaud connor for representing the black butler manga really well.
@@retr0pearce765 season 2 had the potential to be great especially with the direction that the manga took in regards to the makeup of Ciel's character. It just falls short in a bunch of ways because it cant decide who the real main character of the arc is
@@retr0pearce765 season two is awful and if he doesn’t like ciel or alois than that’s his opinion. ciel is my favourite character and while i also was like :( he didn’t mention ciel but connor has a huge connection to sebastian, it makes sense that they only talked about sebastian.
Connor's shitting on Joey for being a HunterXHunter imposter while he had been bamboozling the entirety of the internet with 2nd hand dragon ball references all this time.
“The Case Study Of Vanitas” and “I Hear The Sunspot” are probably my two faves. Though I’ve read a ton, those two are definitely my children. I’ve read “The Case Study Of Vanitas” since the first manga came out in 8th grade, and it finely getting an anime during my freshman year of college was really heartwarming.
I´m currently watching Vanitas and it´s so cool. Is the manga even better? And "I hear the sunspot" is so adorable! In Germany we have a total of 5 volumes right now and I can´t wait to get more!!
I disagree when Connor said that Guts just gets even more violent as the series goes, shit just happens to him. I mean the edgiest Guts has been in was the Black Swordsman Arc. He has come a long way since because he is more accepting to things and has found new companions he can rely on.
@@ianabe636 yeah when he said that it didn’t sit right. There’s literally panels where guts stops swinging his sword because he realises he now has people to protect, rather than just be a violent monster. I imagine Connor was just generalising for his argument, but it’s just downplaying guts’ character arc
@@NoNo-fe8kn he probably forgot about the Brand of Sacrifice which Guts has no choice but fight everynight. Imagine if Thorfinn has the Brand, would he still be able to farm and seek for a peaceful life? Intead of Trashtastes, it should be Trashtakes.
When Garnt had Psyren, and then Joey said he loved it, I thought I was in some sort of strange dreamworld because I really didn't think anybody else cared about Psyren.
I gotta disagree with that. In my opinion most of the best manga are the ones that don't overstay their welcome. Some of my favorites off the top of my head are Tekkonkinkreet, Ping Pong, Death Note, Azumanga Daioh, Solanin, Orange... All relatively short manga that wouldn't be nearly as good if they were longer
@@austinwiebe3801 if the narrative is short and it keeps its mark, it's cool but long anime can't tell their story in 20-30 episodes. One Piece cannot and I am happy for it. There is a reason it is the second most selling comic ever.
@CjayPlyz went through majority of the Chinese light novels. Most of them just ended up annoying me after a few dozen chapters in, though I did read hundreds of their chapters, i stopped reading them.
The reason I think Jump never fails is that they get eyes on probably every single manga before it gets sent anywhere else. Jump is where every mangaka wants to be published.
My favorite Onizuka moment is when he took a 5 hour test to renew his teaching license in 1 hour, with several bullets in his gut after beating up a room full of guys trying to kidnap one of his students.
The biggest kicker was it wasn't even his own student, it was the kid of the lady trying to get him fired, and the kid even tried to make him her slave by saying she'd talk to her mom to not get him fired. The man is a straight up legend and my favorite manga character of all time.
Oh forgot about that one...iirc the ending arc wasn't great? I think it had a hiatus before that idk. But I remember loving it so so much before that. Hardly remember anything else
Psyren is the one that had the ending rushed in the two last chapters. Honestly, with the amount of time they were given, they at least gave it a decent "ending" point.
I loved Psyren. I didn't know about it cancellation by Shonen and the ending did feel really rushed when I read it. But, even rushed, there was still a satisfying ending (for me at least) compared to Bleach's ending.
I read Black Cat for the first time about 4 years ago, and I absolutely think it holds up. The entire tone was so much lighter than i expected but in a way that worked really well, all the different character dynamics were really interesting and engaging to me, and there’s also something unexplainable about it to me. Easily my favourite manga of all time, and I’m so happy joey talked about it because it needs more love.
Punpun is a masterpiece. i followed it while it was ongoing and have re-read this several times since its completion. This is a story that hits hard into you even after re-reading it for the fifth time.
So lemme get this square: the manga/anime the boys know they'll love but just aren't in a rush to start/can't start bc they're busy Connor: One Piece Garnt: Fullmetal Alchemist Joey: HunterxHunter
Feels so weird to me to hear them say that "Jojo was unknown in the west" while in my country (Italy) the manga has been published since '93 But then again, Italy has always been a heaven for anime and manga, always been popular
Yeah, I can see what you mean. Doraemon and shinchan are quite popular in Asia as a whole and I was honestly quite surprised when some Italians randomly brought up doraemon and shinchan in a convo as an icebreaker or something.
@@bluedrapes7712 Intendo culturalmente parlando che ha sempre fatto parte delle nostre programmazioni e delle nostre letture Non so quanti anni tu abbia però sicuramente saprai di come soprattutto i nostri genitori guardavano principalmente anime quando erano più piccoli (capitan harlock, lady Oscar, Georgie per fare alcuni esempi) E andando nelle fumetterie e vedendo i titoli che abbiamo tradotto in Italia potrai subito notare che abbiamo praticamente tutti i titoli più importanti dai più vecchi ai più recenti, ma anche quelli più di nicchia Non è raro vedere che vengano annunciati anime e notare che da noi il manga corrispondente sia già diversi volumi avanti Tutto qui! Non parlavo proprio della diffusione delll'hobby che chiaramente ha un modo di diffondersi diverso Ma appunto è sempre stata una cosa molto presente da noi
50:21 it’s strange to think i got into jojo’s because of the Abridged series by antfish. Which used footage from the Original OVA from the 90’s which got me into the manga and read all of part one in one sitting, i was in middle school at the time and jojo didn’t blow up until way after I graduated.
This has definitely convinced me to read Berserk. Side note: when Garnt says "Am I wrong" just proves the lasting influence Ladybeard has had on the podcast.
dude read it, i got to read it because of meme about berserk suffering and the ntr and it got me into the manga. the world building is so amazing i wish the dude who created it got immortal because of it xD
I mean goodnight punpun is such a beautiful piece. I read it when I was in a dark stage of my life and instead of depressing me it gave me a different perspective. Just beautiful, please give it a read whenever, it is really great!
@@sugarsugarsugar jojo's part 1 anime happened in 2012, 9 years ago if you're trying to be a smartass just to say roundabout existed before jojo's (like I didn't know that), you should remind yourself that roundabout only became an iconic internet meme because of part 1 of jojo back in 2012
This has to be my favorite episode, I just love listening to Garnt speak and how passionate he is. Also the way Joey described oyasumi punpun really convinced me to read it.
Oyasumi punpun is my favorite manga, still one of the most spine chilling stories i've ever read, i still get chills when i see the “Punpun is just fine again today” panel. Would 100% reccomend ONLY if you are in a good mental state, please do not underestimate what Joey is saying about being very depressing and needing to just sit there and contemplate what you just read.
I remember reading it about 2 years ago, and I had to drop it not because it was bad, but because it genuinely made me feel horrible. I want to pick it back up again, but unfortunately I am absolutely not in the best mental state to do so :')
I think people really overestimate how hard it is to read. Existential dread, suicidal contemplation and the "dark" inside everyone are tough subjects to cover, but only if you've never seriously thought about it yourself.
The boys: claims to not like talking about anime/manga for long because it’s tiring Also the boys: *talks about their taste in manga for nearly 3 hours, making it their longest podcast episode yet.*
Pleasantly surprised Connor likes the Black Butler manga. Such a good story that unfortunately had an overbearing fandom steering away fans. Glad to see it getting some praise. 🙌
@@sovaponoc9970 Manga 100%. The anime does have a pretty good OST. Season 3 and the movies is when Black Butler finally got good anime adaptations. Season 1 - first few episodes are canon the rest is anime original. Season 2 is all anime original. The manga is the best way to experience the serious themes in my opinion. Hope that helps!
"How long is Kingdom?" "60 volumes." "60 VOLUMES?!" Me, a Detective Conan fan: "Just 60? That's a decent amount." For context - Gosho Aoyama, the mad lad behind the series, has already put out 100 volumes of Detective Conan and it's still going. Which is why I call it the CSI of the manga world.
Did you ever hear another version of conan called special edition? (story by aoyama gosho and art not by him). In my country conan special edition got 45 volume and still ongoing. Great job from aoyama gosho
Vinland saga is good imo, but for me Kingdom blasts past vinland as a historical manga. It's packed with action, the story is good throughout the series and the characters are fun as hell to watch. Whereas vinland got a kid whose only goal is to get revenge, and then he becomes good. For me it's a bit generic compared to Kingdom but still good Edit: Fucking hell, I got alot of shit for this take lmfao. I know u guys like vinland n think it makes u smarter n whatnot but I'm just saying Kingdom is better than vinland as a "Historical Manga", generally I put both about the same standing as both are good imo. Kingdom details the event of the history while at the same time expanding on a huge line of characters, while Vinland focuses on a set of characters. Also I know im oversimplifying stuff here, just take it as what it is n stop shitting your pants on other ppl opinions
Did they forget that onizuka became a teacher because when he tried to hook up with a high school girl , he discovered her boyfriend is a teacher , then the next day he just decided " IMA BE A TEACHER "
Eyeshield 21 is the one sports manga set in a high school I've read that genuinely captures what it's like to play a sport competitively at school/uni just for the pure love of it (in a way America doesn't seem to do cause people go watch high school sports and it matters so no American high school sports get it either). It was so amazing and so powerfully nostalgic for the era where I was playing rugby with my teammates at my local club under 14s/15s/16s/17s and with my uni team. And the ending is perfect. Genuinely made me cry with how beautifully it was handled.
Haikyuu! gives that feeling as well. They all seem like actual high schoolers playing a sport they love, whether they'd want to go on and play it professionally or not. There are no "villains" and you see actual progress from when you meey certain charactets first. And the pacing is just right. The ending was so heartwarming too
I have read quite a bit of sports manga but Slam Dank is just special,it was one of those manga where u didn't even know u finished reading it cause u r so invested
When I was younger and read Vinland saga I hated the change of pace when the farmland arc began and ended up dropping it. But rereading it now that I'm older I really enjoyed it and basically ended up understanding what Thorfinn's dad was trying to teach him, and I felt like I had grown enough (like Thorfinn, too finally understand that).
When i read Vagabond, Vinland Saga and Kingdom it totally changed my taste in Anime, Movies and Comics. It's so good, and as a Chinese person i hope some of the epic Mangas aren't censored in our market.
1:50:43 Shonen Jump is like the Blockbuster Movie of manga. It doesn’t matter how old you are, sometimes you just want read something thats fun, simple and interesting with potential to grow into something big. And SJ hits all those things most of the time.
trying to do my 3x3 after watching this episode made me realize how many unfinished manga series i have that I had trouble making my 3x3.... thank you boys, it inspired me to get back into working to be a cultured man
true.. im really glad i pick that up after contemplating about the art first.. now like holy fuck.. how the mangaka could draw all of that in weekly basis
Other than the warfare and politics, it isn't that deep in terms of philosophy, themes when compared to the other three, Berserk, Vagabond and Vinland Saga. It's good but at times it just feels shonen esque, a mature version of One Piece.
@@Andr-Eixhonestly a lot of shoujo/shounen and even seinen may be targeted for a certain gender but nothing is really stopping you from enjoying it aside from your own mind like women can read/watch shounen just fine so I feel like guys need to not be scared to branch out and try some shoujo/josei
When Psyren ended, I was actually quite surprise seeing that it didn't get an anime adaptation. But considering that it ran during the era of Naruto, Bleach and One Piece and also some other manga like Toriko, Eyeshield, Bakuman and Yakitate Japan, it kind of makes sense. Maybe what is depicted in Bakuman exactly happen during that time.
Wow.. haven't heard of that title in so long... and you know what, I believe there were quite a number of shounens at the time that would most likely do well now than it did during the big 3.
I fvcking love reading Berserk. Every erc, every chapter, every character was just so thought out. Everything was written perfectly, and it really showed Guts' character as the lonesome hero. It's really a masterpiece, and I'm so glad I read it. It's really THE best manga out there. The art style as well progresses which is amazing to see while you're reading it. Honestly, Berserk has all of the possible action you can think of. All of the possible worst things that could happen are all there. Even the saddest and heartfelt moments that you can also think of are all there, and presented really nicely. I agree when they said that those are the best moments in the manga. Those "quiet moments" served as breathers to Guts' really long journey. It was truly an experience reading that manga. That's why I was really sad when I heard about what happened to the mangaka. He really left a masterpiece behind :(
I've only played one or two Pokémon games as a kid and only caught a couple of episodes Pokémon. But this manga was my introduction of Pokémon, so my image of Pokémon was Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Ruby and Sapphire. God it it was so good.
@@water1793 ah man I wish they translated the uncensored version of the Pokémon manga. I personally really enjoy the more darker aspect. Even still, the Pokémon adventure manga is amazing. Wish they would do anime adaptations of them
I remember reading Punpun because of Joey's recomendations near new years a couple years ago. Maybe shouldn't have read it all in one night but boy did it hit fucking HAAAAAAAARD, took me out of comission for like half a year but it certainly stayed with me ever since and marked me in a way that just made me change as a young adult. Thanks Joey
@@metallicafanatiko ya I very much agree that you shouldn't read punpun if you are struggling with mental health. I heard a lot of people said their depression got seriously bad after reading the manga
DomeKano is pretty good, had a rushed and questionable ending(even for Hina simps like me), but i still remember how amazing the experience was, waiting for new chapters after a lot of dramatic cliffhangers and talking with friends on what could happen next. And i feel like a lot of series these days fails to make people feel like that. But again there is a lot of hidden gems out there that are judged by its cover(Genre).
And the Manga’s pretty good honestly. Trashy, yes, but does more than enough to develop the characters to make the trashy plot and set up worth it for me.
One reason why I dislike the "Giorno never develops" argument is that almost no character develops in general or develops in a major way. You said like most people that Bruno carries the arc (he is my favorite character of Part 5) but how much does Bruno change or develop? Giorno fulfilled his position as the supporting protagonist perfectly. He didn't outshine his team members but also fulfilled his goal.
Giorno was never interesting to begin with and people dont see him as a support protagonist because he is marketed as a "JoJo" the main character of every part.
I think Giorno's feels alot flatter than his peers because the bulk of his development happens in his back story, which is established VERY early on. The rest of the GioBros, we get to know a bit before they get any further development or growth. As a result, Giorno feels less nuance, even though he really isn't, since what we get right at the beginning is also what we largely end with. Jonathan's similarly static, the only difference is how his story is structured. Getting to know him as a naive brash rich kid first before time skipping to what is basically his end state gives the audience the illusion of a more substantial change. Also, kinda hurts that Giorno's the least expressive of the JoJo's. Despite Joseph, Jotaro, and Josuke arguably being more one note, Giorno's subdued personality definitely results in a coin flip when it comes to how he's perceived. He doesn't stand out, but that quality, when compared to his family, might be what makes him stand out to you.
02:51:00 I just remembered the first time I read Berserk about 9 years ago, devouring page after page of sir Kentaro Miura's beautiful unfinished masterpiece. I agree - despite being the overpowered MC, Guts really embodied what it meant to be "the struggler", which has given me some form of comfort throughout my life. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Berserk has made me, and continues to make me a better person.
Connor's rection to Beck manga is so hilarious. But Beck is so good, definitely recommend it . not wishing for another animation, or a remake but I would love to hear the official version of Devil's way.

As a weeb mostly invested in manga for the last like 15 years, This is by far the best episode I've seen from you guys. And I watch you every week. Seeing your hot takes on some classics, and the discussion going all around the place over so many great series that I've read just felt so good and brought back so many memories. Thank you Boys!
@@davidgrc75 If I think of the last 10 chapters as non canon it's a top 3 manga for me. With the last 10 existing it's still in my top 10 but it's hard to justify because of how much the ending killed the series for me.
It warms my heart seeing Beck get a mention and some love. As someone who started learning guitar at 15 and was getting into bands like RATM, Pearl Jam etc, the coming of age story and journey really resonated with me. It’s genuinely a really good show/manga but the timing of me discovering it and it paralleling some parts of my life at the time have cemented it as my favourite.
Actually, I really enjoy ONE's art style. It's super straightforward yet abstract and it really is touching my heart. Reading Mob Psycho 100 has been one of my favorite manga I think and I often come back to it cause I find the art weirdly amazing.
I agree. I think the ideas that ONE comes up with in the webcomics are great. He and Murata are long time collaborators. It is like a very good writer and an amazing artist came together at the right time.
Hot take: the onepunch man webcomic is better than the manga. The pacing is a lot better and One has the best comedic timing ever. The scene where flashy flash wants saitama to either repair his sword or give him money instead, and then saitama sends genos to buy some duct tape is so fucking hilarious. One's paneling is so underrated
I never thought you’d be able to put out consistent 10/10 art before I read OPM, it just boggles my mind that Yusuke Murata is able to put out masterpiece panels/pages every 10-21 days and has been doing it for a decade
Though do note that it's still One that prototypes and lays out each scene. He pretty much draws each one, sets the angle motion etc, and then just has his drawing monkey Murata does his magic :D Imagine being that good that Murata is your drawing monkey. And you are just mangaka for fun.
@@Blazo_Djurovic yeah ONE is actually a pretty good artist too which is shown in Mob Psycho manga and latest OPM webcomic chapters and his paneling is genuinely amazing at showing motion
As a fan of Solo Levelling I got to say - I generally agree that the story is somewhat lacking. But it is still a solidly-build world and, although it follows basically every possible Korean trope there is, it's still rather good. But the art... it is beyond gorgeous... it is borderline orgasmic. Also we all know Koreans love their necromancers just as much as the Chinese love their cultivators... not much intrigue there, tbh.
Conner commenting on manga being released monthly. Me immediately thinking of black butler monthly's chapters and D-gray man with 1 chapter every 4 months 😂
Kingdom is such a great manga, highly recommend to read it, it's so captivating and entertaining. I think it's still underrated outside of Japan, it needs more recognition
Started reading It, I found the First chapters very meh but after I started loving It. It also reminds me a lot of berserk actually. If anyone is going to read It for the First time read at least 20 chapters before deciding to drop or not
@@syren1978 It's picked up a lot in season 3 (It's coalition arc how could it not), but I understand that season 1 especially isn't the best, CGI really takes you out of it
i have literally the same taste as garnt and it makes me happy that psyren and the breaker is getting more recognition rn. to anyone curious, both are worth the time and effort to read them.
If anyone likes Kingdom they should definitely read the novel "The Human Emperor" its very similar to kingdom in the 5D chess element and has 2400+chapters and is currently finished. Well worth a read.

Description Forcefully brought over from the modern world to an alternate world, Wang Chong felt detached and lived his life aimlessly. However, when calamity struck and he saw his family and everything he cared for being torn apart, he felt regret. Thus, he stood up and eventually became the Grand Marshal of the Central Plains, leading an army against those who seek to destroy all he cherished. Yet, despite all his efforts, it was already too late to reverse destiny. But before his death, a shooting star, the same one which brought him to this world, appeared before him, and he was given another chance to undo his regrets.
Connor talking about Brandon Sanderson (on how to write characters smarter than yourself) is the most unexpected crossover but I am completely here for it
@@UlfMTG If you are into current fantasy, then yes, it's impossible to miss him. But if you are not into modern western fantasy....or you know reading itself, like Connor, it's pretty surprising. But yeah, Brandon is basically one good TV adaptation away from becoming the new GRR Martin to the mainstream.
It's funny how every person that has finished Oyasumi Punpun has the same collective experience of just sitting still contemplating your entire existence after finishing the entire manga lmfao😭😭
The last 4 chapters would scar your life for days like it might make you feel empty. Definitely not recommended for people with depression or experiencing existential dread. I might sound exaggerating but think about for yourself.
My thoughts were WTF was that and why did I buy all of it before I started reading it, probably would have dropped it earlier if I hadn't. It was depressing and weird. Nice art though.
Exactly. It's still the best story I've ever read, it impacted me like no other show has, not even breaking bad. It might not be for everyone but it's dear to my heart
@@cas9007 Punpun is less "Im depressed I need help" and more "How deep can humanity fall, accelerated by depression", Case in point, that point in the final few chapters, where blinded in one eye, bloody and cut open, Punpun and Aiko have sex out in the forest. Two people truly driven to the brink of sanity more by themselves, than anything else, I'd say. It's a brilliant manga. I thought it was the most accurate depiction of depression ever, before BoJack Horseman showed up, but Punpun is a very very close second there. Again, just to reiterate, I think Punpun is more a warning of how deep you can push yourself, how deep you can sink, fueled by your own self hatred and inability to get out, than existential dread or fight against depression. I could go on for very long about Punpun. Hands down my favourite manga.
I started reading manga when I was about 15. I'm turning 40 next month, so I've been reading manga for a very long time. I've read so many titles over the years that I don't think I could come up with a 3 by 3. It's impossible! I could do it if I only considered manga that I read in recent years, but not if I considered 25 years worth of manga.
It really is! For a manga where the action is not the main thing, it has amazing action panels. I can't talk enough about how I love the art (and story). I can't believe it has 30 volumes now, I owned till volume 22 but haven't read 21 and 22... TMI the only regret I have when I moved country, not taking my black butler manga with me hahaha
@@danybel Damn... I want to read it so bad... I asked my family 3 times if they could ship it to me, but they haven't moved their butts pffft Can't they do me a favour for once TT
Oyasumi shaped me. The manga will pull you back and when it lets go, you will fucking sky rocket mentally. The manga did better than my therapist at the time.

What garnt missed out on is actually that natsuki has as much as brain cells that a teenage boy has at that age and the character development as he goes into college and then becoming an adult, the way he matures and accepts the dumpster fire of the situation he's in.
There are actually consequences for loving your teacher,your sister like in real life and how characters deals with them

Yeah I believe ONE is still doing the majority (if not all) of the writing

Despite his art skill, and his friends and family discouraging him not to become a mangaka, he knew what he loved and kept doing it. I have a lot of respect for One

I love how in Vinland saga, you see Thorfinn, a character that starts so violent and angry, become significantly less violent and go towards living (or trying to) as a “true warrior” without a sword. Then in juxtaposition, you see Canute, who starts off so feebly, change into a much more violent person. They both follow in their fathers footsteps. Vinland Saga is beautiful for a ton of reasons.
Even tho i anime only
Canute was my favorite character in vinland saga

Connor's shitting on Joey for being a HunterXHunter imposter while he had been bamboozling the entirety of the internet with 2nd hand dragon ball references all this time.
“The Case Study Of Vanitas” and “I Hear The Sunspot” are probably my two faves. Though I’ve read a ton, those two are definitely my children. I’ve read “The Case Study Of Vanitas” since the first manga came out in 8th grade, and it finely getting an anime during my freshman year of college was really heartwarming.
Vanitas is ass
I´m currently watching Vanitas and it´s so cool. Is the manga even better? And "I hear the sunspot" is so adorable! In Germany we have a total of 5 volumes right now and I can´t wait to get more!!

I disagree when Connor said that Guts just gets even more violent as the series goes, shit just happens to him. I mean the edgiest Guts has been in was the Black Swordsman Arc. He has come a long way since because he is more accepting to things and has found new companions he can rely on.
Yeah, Guts becomes way more human as the story goes on.
@@balabanasireti Actually half.. the more he relies on the power of the armor the more it consumes his humanity.
@@ianabe636 yeah when he said that it didn’t sit right. There’s literally panels where guts stops swinging his sword because he realises he now has people to protect, rather than just be a violent monster.

When you find a good manga, even a thousand chapters aren't enough.
Say you’re a one piece fan without saying you’re a one piece fan
I gotta disagree with that. In my opinion most of the best manga are the ones that don't overstay their welcome. Some of my favorites off the top of my head are Tekkonkinkreet, Ping Pong, Death Note, Azumanga Daioh, Solanin, Orange... All relatively short manga that wouldn't be nearly as good if they were longer
@@austinwiebe3801 if the narrative is short and it keeps its mark, it's cool but long anime can't tell their story in 20-30 episodes. One Piece cannot and I am happy for it. There is a reason it is the second most selling comic ever.
hard disagree for obvious reasons
@CjayPlyz went through majority of the Chinese light novels. Most of them just ended up annoying me after a few dozen chapters in, though I did read hundreds of their chapters, i stopped reading them.

Someone spoke about Psyren finally. Hats off to Garnt and Joey. It’s a great read.
Oh forgot about that one...iirc the ending arc wasn't great? I think it had a hiatus before that idk.
But I remember loving it so so much before that.
Hardly remember anything else
Psyren, Mx0 and Double Arts all had great potential. Sadly they never got finished.
Psyren is the one that had the ending rushed in the two last chapters.
Honestly, with the amount of time they were given, they at least gave it a decent "ending" point.
I loved Psyren. I didn't know about it cancellation by Shonen and the ending did feel really rushed when I read it. But, even rushed, there was still a satisfying ending (for me at least) compared to Bleach's ending.
Mid 7/10 read
I read Black Cat for the first time about 4 years ago, and I absolutely think it holds up. The entire tone was so much lighter than i expected but in a way that worked really well, all the different character dynamics were really interesting and engaging to me, and there’s also something unexplainable about it to me.

This has to be my favorite episode, I just love listening to Garnt speak and how passionate he is. Also the way Joey described oyasumi punpun really convinced me to read it.
Oyasumi punpun is my favorite manga, still one of the most spine chilling stories i've ever read, i still get chills when i see the “Punpun is just fine again today” panel. Would 100% reccomend ONLY if you are in a good mental state, please do not underestimate what Joey is saying about being very depressing and needing to just sit there and contemplate what you just read.
I remember reading it about 2 years ago, and I had to drop it not because it was bad, but because it genuinely made me feel horrible. I want to pick it back up again, but unfortunately I am absolutely not in the best mental state to do so :')
So... hmm.. not gonna read punpun for now..
I'll just add this to my list.
I think people really overestimate how hard it is to read. Existential dread, suicidal contemplation and the "dark" inside everyone are tough subjects to cover, but only if you've never seriously thought about it yourself.
Punpun flying while carrying an umbrella is still one of the best manga panels I've ever seen

Vinland saga is good imo, but for me Kingdom blasts past vinland as a historical manga. It's packed with action, the story is good throughout the series and the characters are fun as hell to watch. Whereas vinland got a kid whose only goal is to get revenge, and then he becomes good. For me it's a bit generic compared to Kingdom but still good
Edit: Fucking hell, I got alot of shit for this take lmfao. I know u guys like vinland n think it makes u smarter n whatnot but I'm just saying Kingdom is better than vinland as a "Historical Manga", generally I put both about the same standing as both are good imo.
Kingdom details the event of the history while at the same time expanding on a huge line of characters, while Vinland focuses on a set of characters.

Fucking Legend
Just discovered this legend of a anime/manga, just a few years ago. It became an instant top favorite for me!
Eyeshield 21 is the one sports manga set in a high school I've read that genuinely captures what it's like to play a sport competitively at school/uni just for the pure love of it (in a way America doesn't seem to do cause people go watch high school sports and it matters so no American high school sports get it either).
It was so amazing and so powerfully nostalgic for the era where I was playing rugby with my teammates at my local club under 14s/15s/16s/17s and with my uni team.
And the ending is perfect. Genuinely made me cry with how beautifully it was handled.
Yeah it was great.
Haikyuu! gives that feeling as well. They all seem like actual high schoolers playing a sport they love, whether they'd want to go on and play it professionally or not. There are no "villains" and you see actual progress from when you meey certain charactets first. And the pacing is just right. The ending was so heartwarming too

i'm so happy Connor mentioned Black Butler, this manga is really interesting and beautiful and i think a lot of people forgot about it undeservedly.
Indeed
Still haven't watched Black butler, I thought it was an anime that appeals to a female audience only
@@Andr-Eix Yeah, but they're talking about the manga.
The book of circus arc was awesome. The anime was a little too toward yaoi fan service and ruined the over solid story.
@@Andr-Eixhonestly a lot of shoujo/shounen and even seinen may be targeted for a certain gender but nothing is really stopping you from enjoying it aside from your own mind like women can read/watch shounen just fine so I feel like guys need to not be scared to branch out and try some shoujo/josei
When Psyren ended, I was actually quite surprise seeing that it didn't get an anime adaptation. But considering that it ran during the era of Naruto, Bleach and One Piece and also some other manga like Toriko, Eyeshield, Bakuman and Yakitate Japan, it kind of makes sense. Maybe what is depicted in Bakuman exactly happen during that time.
Right? Psyren was sick and unique.
Wow.. haven't heard of that title in so long... and you know what, I believe there were quite a number of shounens at the time that would most likely do well now than it did during the big 3.
@@joelsantos662 Indeed...
I fvcking love reading Berserk. Every erc, every chapter, every character was just so thought out. Everything was written perfectly, and it really showed Guts' character as the lonesome hero. It's really a masterpiece, and I'm so glad I read it. It's really THE best manga out there. The art style as well progresses which is amazing to see while you're reading it.
Honestly, Berserk has all of the possible action you can think of. All of the possible worst things that could happen are all there. Even the saddest and heartfelt moments that you can also think of are all there, and presented really nicely. I agree when they said that those are the best moments in the manga. Those "quiet moments" served as breathers to Guts' really long journey.
It was truly an experience reading that manga. That's why I was really sad when I heard about what happened to the mangaka. He really left a masterpiece behind :(
I like how Connor's the host of an episode thats literally about reading when he has said multiple times that he doesn't like to read.
He doesn’t like the pron books
On the subject of manga, here's your reminder that the Pokemon Adventures (or Pocket Monsters Special in Japan) is actually incredible.
The uncensored version right?
underrated comment right here
@@water1793 wait what
I've only played one or two Pokémon games as a kid and only caught a couple of episodes Pokémon. But this manga was my introduction of Pokémon, so my image of Pokémon was Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Ruby and Sapphire. God it it was so good.
@@water1793 ah man I wish they translated the uncensored version of the Pokémon manga. I personally really enjoy the more darker aspect. Even still, the Pokémon adventure manga is amazing. Wish they would do anime adaptations of them
I remember reading Punpun because of Joey's recomendations near new years a couple years ago. Maybe shouldn't have read it all in one night but boy did it hit fucking HAAAAAAAARD, took me out of comission for like half a year but it certainly stayed with me ever since and marked me in a way that just made me change as a young adult. Thanks Joey
Half a year? Now I'm more afraid to read it
@@ricmorales3406 Don't be, it was half my fault for reading int whilst being In a bad place mentally
@@metallicafanatiko ya I very much agree that you shouldn't read punpun if you are struggling with mental health. I heard a lot of people said their depression got seriously bad after reading the manga
Joey needs to watch Hunter x Hunter. Connor needs to watch One Piece. Grant needs to watch Fullmetal Alchemist.
Garnt lol
@@benthehobo5833 Its Grant what are you talking about
@@raunakshahi His name is Garnt.
They all need watch Date A Live if they haven't. My personal GOAT.
@@Monika-di7vvI respect your opinion but I didn't liked the anime, it's kinda mid.
Domestic Girlfriend in a manga 3x3. Garnt cannot stop expressing his love for dumpster fires. That's some commitment though, I'll give him that.
Well, he made me read it. I love it
DomeKano is pretty good, had a rushed and questionable ending(even for Hina simps like me), but i still remember how amazing the experience was, waiting for new chapters after a lot of dramatic cliffhangers and talking with friends on what could happen next.
And i feel like a lot of series these days fails to make people feel like that. But again there is a lot of hidden gems out there that are judged by its cover(Genre).
Hina best girl
And the Manga’s pretty good honestly. Trashy, yes, but does more than enough to develop the characters to make the trashy plot and set up worth it for me.
Fellow Rui team here. I loved on how goofy the anime was and the manga ending 😂
One reason why I dislike the "Giorno never develops" argument is that almost no character develops in general or develops in a major way. You said like most people that Bruno carries the arc (he is my favorite character of Part 5) but how much does Bruno change or develop? Giorno fulfilled his position as the supporting protagonist perfectly. He didn't outshine his team members but also fulfilled his goal.
Giorno was never interesting to begin with and people dont see him as a support protagonist because he is marketed as a "JoJo" the main character of every part.
I think Giorno's feels alot flatter than his peers because the bulk of his development happens in his back story, which is established VERY early on. The rest of the GioBros, we get to know a bit before they get any further development or growth. As a result, Giorno feels less nuance, even though he really isn't, since what we get right at the beginning is also what we largely end with.
Jonathan's similarly static, the only difference is how his story is structured. Getting to know him as a naive brash rich kid first before time skipping to what is basically his end state gives the audience the illusion of a more substantial change.
Also, kinda hurts that Giorno's the least expressive of the JoJo's. Despite Joseph, Jotaro, and Josuke arguably being more one note, Giorno's subdued personality definitely results in a coin flip when it comes to how he's perceived. He doesn't stand out, but that quality, when compared to his family, might be what makes him stand out to you.
Giorno is the supporting protagonist? I thought he was the "JoJo" in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"

02:51:00 I just remembered the first time I read Berserk about 9 years ago, devouring page after page of sir Kentaro Miura's beautiful unfinished masterpiece. I agree - despite being the overpowered MC, Guts really embodied what it meant to be "the struggler", which has given me some form of comfort throughout my life. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Berserk has made me, and continues to make me a better person.
Connor's rection to Beck manga is so hilarious. But Beck is so good, definitely recommend it . not wishing for another animation, or a remake but I would love to hear the official version of Devil's way.
Ok... I literally burst out laughing when Sydney made her special appearance from the heavens as Garnt eternal eyes of judgement and just casually thanks her pointing towards the roof 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a weeb mostly invested in manga for the last like 15 years, This is by far the best episode I've seen from you guys. And I watch you every week. Seeing your hot takes on some classics, and the discussion going all around the place over so many great series that I've read just felt so good and brought back so many memories. Thank you Boys!
Lol I respect garnt for defending domestic girlfriend as much as he did. That’s how I also feel about the trash anime I like as well
I love domestic girlfriend. Regardless of the ending the manga was still really nice to read.
@@davidgrc75 If I think of the last 10 chapters as non canon it's a top 3 manga for me. With the last 10 existing it's still in my top 10 but it's hard to justify because of how much the ending killed the series for me.
I think I have a new respect for Garnt now. Love Hina and Domestic Girlfriend are two of my favorite mangas for sure.
It warms my heart seeing Beck get a mention and some love. As someone who started learning guitar at 15 and was getting into bands like RATM, Pearl Jam etc, the coming of age story and journey really resonated with me. It’s genuinely a really good show/manga but the timing of me discovering it and it paralleling some parts of my life at the time have cemented it as my favourite.
Beck was the 2nd anime I've ever watched back in middle school and I still sing the op lol
Actually, I really enjoy ONE's art style. It's super straightforward yet abstract and it really is touching my heart. Reading Mob Psycho 100 has been one of my favorite manga I think and I often come back to it cause I find the art weirdly amazing.
I agree. I think the ideas that ONE comes up with in the webcomics are great. He and Murata are long time collaborators. It is like a very good writer and an amazing artist came together at the right time.
Hot take: the onepunch man webcomic is better than the manga. The pacing is a lot better and One has the best comedic timing ever. The scene where flashy flash wants saitama to either repair his sword or give him money instead, and then saitama sends genos to buy some duct tape is so fucking hilarious. One's paneling is so underrated
ONE has a good sense of composition and perspective imo, really visible in Mob
@@poolgoldworldwild2163 ONE and Murata are the same person...or they are two different people?
@@dhruvsenju they are two different people
I never thought you’d be able to put out consistent 10/10 art before I read OPM, it just boggles my mind that Yusuke Murata is able to put out masterpiece panels/pages every 10-21 days and has been doing it for a decade
Though do note that it's still One that prototypes and lays out each scene. He pretty much draws each one, sets the angle motion etc, and then just has his drawing monkey Murata does his magic :D Imagine being that good that Murata is your drawing monkey. And you are just mangaka for fun.
Tokyo ghoul
@@Blazo_Djurovic yeah ONE is actually a pretty good artist too which is shown in Mob Psycho manga and latest OPM webcomic chapters and his paneling is genuinely amazing at showing motion
He is a manga God
Try reading anything by Takahiko Inoue
As a fan of Solo Levelling I got to say - I generally agree that the story is somewhat lacking. But it is still a solidly-build world and, although it follows basically every possible Korean trope there is, it's still rather good. But the art... it is beyond gorgeous... it is borderline orgasmic. Also we all know Koreans love their necromancers just as much as the Chinese love their cultivators... not much intrigue there, tbh.
Conner commenting on manga being released monthly.
Me immediately thinking of black butler monthly's chapters and D-gray man with 1 chapter every 4 months 😂
Kingdom is such a great manga, highly recommend to read it, it's so captivating and entertaining. I think it's still underrated outside of Japan, it needs more recognition
If it got an english release, I fully believe the manga would skyrocket in popularity, it's just that good.
Started reading It, I found the First chapters very meh but after I started loving It. It also reminds me a lot of berserk actually. If anyone is going to read It for the First time read at least 20 chapters before deciding to drop or not
Dude the anime adapter made me hate it lol
@@syren1978 It's picked up a lot in season 3 (It's coalition arc how could it not), but I understand that season 1 especially isn't the best, CGI really takes you out of it
@@iguano3153 ikr
i have literally the same taste as garnt and it makes me happy that psyren and the breaker is getting more recognition rn. to anyone curious, both are worth the time and effort to read them.
If anyone likes Kingdom they should definitely read the novel "The Human Emperor" its very similar to kingdom in the 5D chess element and has 2400+chapters and is currently finished. Well worth a read.
Hol up.
...2.4k chapters?

Description
Forcefully brought over from the modern world to an alternate world, Wang Chong felt detached and lived his life aimlessly.
However, when calamity struck and he saw his family and everything he cared for being torn apart, he felt regret.
Thus, he stood up and eventually became the Grand Marshal of the Central Plains, leading an army against those who seek to destroy all he cherished.
Yet, despite all his efforts, it was already too late to reverse destiny.
But before his death, a shooting star, the same one which brought him to this world, appeared before him, and he was given another chance to undo his regrets.
Connor talking about Brandon Sanderson (on how to write characters smarter than yourself) is the most unexpected crossover but I am completely here for it
why unexpected? Brandon is one of the most famous fantasy writers right now (and probably ever)
Not gonna lie, I was debating whether I should watch this episode or start reading Shadows of Self.
@@UlfMTG If you are into current fantasy, then yes, it's impossible to miss him. But if you are not into modern western fantasy....or you know reading itself, like Connor, it's pretty surprising.
But yeah, Brandon is basically one good TV adaptation away from becoming the new GRR Martin to the mainstream.
@@Roonagu if the Wheel of Time adaptation does well I’m sure he’s next in-line
Well Kelsier is Fortnite dancing as of now, so even the kids are getting exposed to Brandon's genius.
It's funny how every person that has finished Oyasumi Punpun has the same collective experience of just sitting still contemplating your entire existence after finishing the entire manga lmfao😭😭
The last 4 chapters would scar your life for days like it might make you feel empty. Definitely not recommended for people with depression or experiencing existential dread. I might sound exaggerating but think about for yourself.
The blood going through my heart and veins felt like petrol after I finished. Great manga
My thoughts were WTF was that and why did I buy all of it before I started reading it, probably would have dropped it earlier if I hadn't. It was depressing and weird.
Nice art though.
Exactly. It's still the best story I've ever read, it impacted me like no other show has, not even breaking bad. It might not be for everyone but it's dear to my heart
@@cas9007 Punpun is less "Im depressed I need help" and more "How deep can humanity fall, accelerated by depression", Case in point, that point in the final few chapters, where blinded in one eye, bloody and cut open, Punpun and Aiko have sex out in the forest. Two people truly driven to the brink of sanity more by themselves, than anything else, I'd say. It's a brilliant manga. I thought it was the most accurate depiction of depression ever, before BoJack Horseman showed up, but Punpun is a very very close second there.
Again, just to reiterate, I think Punpun is more a warning of how deep you can push yourself, how deep you can sink, fueled by your own self hatred and inability to get out, than existential dread or fight against depression. I could go on for very long about Punpun. Hands down my favourite manga.
connor who doesn't own a book: "im something of a reader myself"
It’s cause parts of his channel is dedicated to reading weird manga or yaoi manga…I think
@M Billa thats a dvd .-.
I started reading manga when I was about 15. I'm turning 40 next month, so I've been reading manga for a very long time. I've read so many titles over the years that I don't think I could come up with a 3 by 3. It's impossible! I could do it if I only considered manga that I read in recent years, but not if I considered 25 years worth of manga.
