This sounds like a good place for a review thread as any so, which one was your fave and why?

[RoxasuEX]

My picks

-Ongoing
Bleach, Naruto, and Black Cat are really popular
Deathnote is great
Full Metal Alchemist's manga is different from the anime
Samurai Deeper Kyo is awesome

-Finished
Ruroken (Rurouni Kenshin) is very very good

and there are others but I can't name all of them, but good ones are anyone that has a thread in this forum

My most recent completion was of Monster ... it's really quite engaging in how it builds a mystery. If you are into thrillers, this is the one to read

[auroragb]

i borrow manga from a nearby bookstore, but i buy the ones that i really like. right now theres only 5 anime manga books that im buying. but i wouldnt buy the english versions. i just think the way it is translated in english is very boring and the sound effects are just lame. they also censor everything. i prefer japanese or korean (although korean censors too).

I assume that store also does rentals, unless you are referring to a five-finger discount? :wink:

So, which ones did you end up buying

[Amoz]

Hmm, just noticed I forgot to add one more pic :c33:
Juline 1-5 (complete), Vampire Yui 1 and The Vampire Dahlia (Only volume)

so, that makes 213 books, which is the size of my current compilation.

I might make some reviews sometime. I'll make new threads for them then.

Not every English version censors everything though...In fact, most of the English manga that I have are 100% unedited. There are some releases that are censored but those are a pretty small amount compared to the English versions that aren't. doinkies doesn't buy censored releases anyway...

Anyway, along with English releases, I buy manga in Japanese as well. I have tons of English releases and tons of Japanese releases as well.

Eh, since I'm challenged and only can read and speak English, I don't have an opinion on how much American translators take out ::

Anyway, I counted last night and I have about 218 manga. Which is about 6 years of collecting ._.;

The one edit i've always hated is when Eng Shonen Jump changed certain Naruto title and such

They changed the cooler sounding Chunin to Journeyman, which makes no sense

It's good that the english dub kept it Chuunin

that's the tough thing about translating terminology. Do you translate the word to carry the meaning? or do you leave the terminology as it has unique cultural definition ... there are no hard and fast rules and it's hard to please everyone

the thing that I dislike is that the japanese name is usually alot better sounding then using a literal translation, and alot of the hardcore fans already know the meaning and would tend to want the japanese name, its only cause the translators are trying to be considerate to the non-hardcore fans who probably wouldn't understand what the name meant even if SJ decided to put a definition in

[Ol' Dirty Pepto]

I got.

Shaman King Vol 1-11
Initial D Vol 1-12
Naruto Vol 1-6
Gundam Wing Vol 1-4
Ramna 1/2 Vol 1-16
Blood Trinity Vol 1-3

Heh, I only buy the Japanese versions too. When I compare the two, the english version just seems to be lacking in areas.

Hmm....I just realized from reading this thread that I haven't bought any comics (I know, technically it's manga....) in a while, just a few select titles in V-Jump....Tche...I still have a few titles to finish collecting....

[(AZN)animedude]

man as i have said in other threads, i'm cleaned outta money rite now so must get another job, (i hada part time one over the summer and saved up quite a bit, time to find a real job to do)

[rnwc]

Just off the top of my head, I have Doraemon (one of the first I ever read and still favourite), Ranma 1/2, Urusei Yatsura, Lone Wolf & Cub, Grey, Dirty Pair, Akira (though I think I might have donated this away to a charity auction drive sometime back), Mazinger, Nausicaa, most of Shirow's stuff, and lots more. I just can't remember it all and am too lazy to take it out of the boxes where I store them for posterity or until I decide to get rid of them.
