    Viz Bigs are Great, they're definitely heavy. Every time I read Vagabond I feel like I'm getting a forearm workout. I do prefer Single volumes, but for quality and shelf life Viz Bigs are the way to go. Great video!!

      Yeah, they can get a bit cumbersome at times, but I think it's worth it for the shelf candy and the quality. Thanks! :)

    I actually see a lot of VizBigs out there for only around 15$ or less which is like 50% less expensive than buying single volumes.

    I own quite a few Viz Bigs (all of the original Dragon Ball and most of Z) and they're super high quality over all. I love them! The color pages are pretty cool too.

    There's VizBig's for Fushigi Yugi, Hot Gimmick!, Dragon Ball (and Z), Rurouni Kenshin, Inuyasha, and Vagabond. Honestly VizBig is the best bang for your buck you can get with manga. Extremely high quality, and you're actually saving money compared to buying single volumes. Especially considering these series are starting to go out of print, are out of print, or Viz is replacing the singles with the cheap 3-in-1's, like with Dragon Ball and Rurouni Kenshin. They're definitely my favorite release format.

    • @Laethas
      @Laethas  7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It really is a shame that Viz doesn't seem to be printing any more series in this format. Those 3-in-1s are so bad. :(

    I have the whole series of Rurouni Kenshin and the first 5 releases of Inuyasha in the Vizbig editions and they're great in terms of page quality and amount of content. Though, on my Inuyasha Vizbig volume 3 the whole cover (the part that's the front cover, spine, and back cover) came off in one big piece about a week and a half after I got it. At first, I thought it may have been because I bought it on Amazon and the heat got to the glue on the spine through shipment but every other volume I bought didn't do that so I think it may have been just a manufacturing problem.

    Suggestion: I think that if you could zoom out we could be able to see more and would be more comfortable for you. But if it's not possible then that's alright.

    • @Laethas
      @Laethas  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, that's been something I've been thinking about for awhile now, and I'm trying to work on a better setup so I can show more of the volumes. I don't have a solution just yet, but I think I might be close to finding one. Good suggestion.

      @Laethas  6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I don't think any other publisher releases in a format akin to the VizBig, unfortunately. As for why they aren't printing them anymore, I'm not 100% certain, but I think it was because of poor sales. It's sad since I think they're one of the highest quality releases for the price.

    I started collecting Fushigi Yugi since 2001 and I HATE how the switched the format after vol 8 (and then went back to 1-7 and changed from the original format) it made my collection look so wonky on my bookshelf. I saw the VizBig and saw that they had new covers and claimed there was new content. How does that compare to the original single volumes? I was tempted to buy the VizBig volumes because of the new content they said they had. I saw that majority of the VizBig cover art seems to be in the manga Art Book. Do you have any singles to compare?

    • @cynthialuna2302
      @cynthialuna2302 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The only other "BIG" volumes I've seen is Tenjho Tenge in the 2-1 volumes. I see a lot are releasing in 2-1 but standard sizes. (wotakoi, life lessons etc.) I like those because it's cheaper but not bulky.

      I would like to do one for the Fullmetal editions. As for Mobile Suit Gundam the Origin, I would have to get the series first, and the series is not currently very high on my priority list, but if I do pick up the series, I would definitely like to do a "Manga Quality Review" on it. :)

    I have the first two volumes of vagabond, and everything about the vizbigs is high quality, but the panels don't fit the page right. There are a couple speech bubbles that aren't in the page completely, which isn't a big deal and it's not gonna stop me from buying more volumes, it's jus tsort of annoyhing.
