I couldn't ever get into shounen stuff. All the hundreds of episodes to watch, and if you're into the manga, buying so many books. I couldn't justify it

Why big yikes?!
That hurts

All I own is Nausicaa and Summit of the Gods.

you can read manga without having to purchase them..

It's not a katana, its some Philippine or something sword my dad bought me somewhere. Im not a huge LOTR fan, but i thought id give the books a try.

I also made that ukulele myself in high school wood shop.

I know it's bait, but im biting.

you can? how come I've never heard about this?

I only have Yotsuba, SoL (Barakamon, etc) and kirara stuffs.

i know you’re being sarcastic, but your comment about not reading shounen because there’s too many books to buy is retarded

>doesn't like LOTR
Good, you're not worthy. Awful weeb taste.

That wasn't me. I know you can read online, but physically buying 70+ books would be too much of an investment. They can spend their money however they wish, im just speaking for myself

I like the movies and the world, I'm just not super involved in it. I wanted to read the books for some good fantasy so i can appreciate it better and get more out of it that the movies show.

i agree, buying that many books is retarded. but you said you could never get into shounen for that exact reason, when you should have said you just dislike long series. and in that case, there are a decent amount of short shounen anyways.

yeah, my knowledge of shounens themselves is rather limited besides owning an old Shounen Jump book from forever ago. I suppose reading isnt as bad since im a fast reader and ive binged read a lot of things and usually keep a tab open to go back to it. I guess its more a thing when watching an anime since its a 20 minute investment over 100+ episodes.

It really isn't that much. Unless you're buying it all at once. $10 every 3 months or whatever is like one lunch.

Where's your copy of Volume 71 retard?

I got that Alita box too. It's great.

Attached: Damascus blade.jpg (765x676, 318K)

yeah i agree with not wanting to watch long series since episodes are always forced to 20 minutes, whereas with manga you can go at your own pace. that’s pretty much why i don’t watch anime at all anymore, not to mention that art itself is more expressive in manga imo

Gay bait.

>buying

Yeah, if the artist is really talented, he can put a lot onto a page and the backgrounds, while the anime will usually not be as detailed. I'm usually limiting myself to the 12 episode seasonal stuff. rarely the 25ish ones like monogatari. its easier if i watch them as their airing so im watching only an episode or two at once rather than having 12 to watch.

I don't actually mind watching longer series myself. I just tend to find the pacing of a lot of these shows rather quite terrible. They always drag out reaction shots and things and it feels like just wasted time that interrupts the flow of the action. In a manga this reads fine because you're basically seeing key moments, even a reaction shot that has a somewhat wordy monologue might only be a fraction of a second but in the anime they just have to make it last so long.

It’s pretty small but I’m proud of it.

Also some of these (lower left) are mementoes from visiting japan.

>makes a whole thread to show off manga collection

yours isnt that badly organized graphic novels just have alot of varied sizes. this would be harder to manage if I didnt just buy viz stuff. since their books are super uniform

larger tanks make it hard to spread them and see full spread images, viz books absolutely butcher 2 page spreads cause of their spines

I want more smaller series to collect. I like the bigger omnibus releases like the jojo ones, since they dont take up so much space.

Tokyopop actually had a few good series though.

Theres also Hitler by Shigeru Mizuki, so read into that as you will

tidy and organized. i like it. digging the physical touhou stuff. I have a good bit, even though i cant read bohemian archive in japanese red and marisa's grimore. Maybe one day ill be able to read it. I know its translated online which ill probably read. but it'll be cool to actually understand the actual book

it's pretty good
also it's by tezuka so it's hard to go wrong with him

How do you guys afford/justify spending money on manga? Anything thats more than 10-15 books is probably just milking you for money.

Just those 2 official music CDs. Im so i also have the music of those books that have them. along with mountain of faith and great fairy wars.

I got the remilia figure from amazon, theres a Flandre figure thats paired with it but i dont have it yet. the reimu is from amiami. the books and games from US amazon obviously.

What i did for jap amazon is to just try to search the cds or whatnot and when you checkout, at some point it may tell you that it cant ship an item to your location. i got lucky on the cd's since i couldnt buy them 'new' i got them used instead, for some reason the used ones were able to be shipped. they were still in the original plastic new anyway.

there was another site i was gonna get music from, forgot the name but just googling for the stuff might turn up something.

>the dark tower
My African American.

Is RWBY anime?

I didnt like how it ended after Roland entered the tower. he didn't deserve it. Plus, i didnt like how he finds that random painter guy to get rid of the crimson king. just seemed too convienient for that guy to just be there at the very end for roland to use. But I loved the actual journey. The riddle game with blaine is one of my favorite parts. My least favorite is the fourth book thats 80% flashback and ends with them going into the Emerald city of Oz for no reason. it just seemed bizarre. and I wish the man in black had a better death than 'lol eaten by spider baby and not by a duel with roland'

but otherwise i did enjoy reading them. I refuse to watch the movie, though

Culture of Critique anime when?

I'll agree with you with Walter/Marten/Flagg's death, I thought there should've been a battle with him at the end of the fourth book. However, I kinda like the bizarre aspect of the book because I feel Like a higher being (Gan) is fucking with them. With the ending I thought it was perfect, remember "Ka is a wheel".

I suppose it does makes sense, i didnt remember that phrase about Ka. But at least he has that horn with him. I wonder how long hes been doing it, and each time he completes it, he gets something different that could effect the next outcome.

Well the actual phrase was "Ka was like a wheel, its one purpose to turn, and in the end it always came back to the place where it had started." I believe this is from the third book.

Here’s what I have so far. I’m fairly behind at the moment but I’d like to catch up soon

Gantz is fun and has a main character who undergoes actual growth.
Also he gets to have sex with Lara Croft.

The implication was that you buy them when they're released. As I said in that same comment

If you can't afford them, you could just get them second hand. You could probably get all the volumes of naruto for something like $400-500 that way.

>has a main character who undergoes actual growth
Wow, huge accomplishment. Many other series manage to do that as well as have a consistency and reasoning behind the different elements. Gantz just felt like a stream of consciousness with no attempt to explain anything in the context of a larger narrative. It was ideas with no cohesion. Absolute mess.

the origin manga looks so fucking good. Ireally want to collect it but it's really expensive.
Is it worth the money?

Just half

I have this I guess, first 2 are Death Note, other 3 Attack On Titan. I've ordered from bookdepository Attack On Titan 26 ( In English ) so I'm looking forward to that.

Ones I have are in Serbian and they never translate anything fully, instead of sticking with say Death Note that has 12 volumes they'd much rather do 20 volumes of One Piece and Naruto.
Last Death Note volume was 6, released in 2018. Last Attack On Titan Volume was 8 released in 2017.

Talked to a guy in their shop and he said AoT 9 will be released soon but who knows, they announced GITS translation in 2017 and even shower a preview and only released it a few days ago.

Still pretty cool to have

Is this Death Note All In One edition good? I thought about getting it since I want my favorite manga / anime in physical form and don't have much money

Is Message to Adolf out of print? It's always expensive any time I see it.

YES

here. I'd say yes. The Char backstory parts may come off as overly wanky, but it's a much better distillation of the 0079 storyline over the compilation movies, at least in terms of trimming the fat of the tv series. Also YAS's art is fantastic, you can see why he's a respected character designer/animation director.

Most Tezuka stuff is. I got Volume 2 for the cover price but Volume 1 was crazy expensive.

>Amazon
Anons you need to buy from Rightstuf they are much much better on pricing and have a lot of sales usually. I know many like Amazon for it's convenience but it's not always priced well and there is not much manga or books etc on there. Also if you need to get something used and are a poorfag I would say go on eBay to buy it as usually there is someone selling manga.

Why is there so much moe shit ITT and anyone who posts some real good manga gets called for having "shit taste"
I'd take attack on titan and Death Note, hell even Naruto, before "Cute girls doing cute things mark 78" any day of the week you absolute faggots.

Attached: Capture.png (370x403, 15K)

Yeah I watched the Origin OVAs and there were quite good aside from some overly dramatic direction, and dramatisation.
Felt like it could have been far better though.

I'm mostly interested in the retelling of 79 as I've only seen the recap movies. Can't seem to find it online to read aside from 25 chapters for some reason though.

Just buy them. You'll feel better.

I'm not buying them all at once cause I'm too lazy to work alongside uni but I'll order the first volume, thanks user.

The vertical release hardback are a whole tactile experience on their own. Plus I like the extras that came with them, including essays from Hideaki Anno and Makoto Shinkai, and bonus manga from other mangaka

I agree. It seems like a lot of Normalfag taste is on this thread. The true ones are the old school types that have Azumanga Daioh, Madoka Magica, Death Note, Monogatari, Akira, Ghost In The Shell etc. People that have good taste and acknowledge anime not as moeblob shit.

>Mah shipping
Amazon is just as shit if not worse on that end as well. Can not escape tax's.

Bookdepository has no shipping price, the one volume in that picture is 1 attack on titan volume. I can get the same one on bookdepository for just 9.40 without shipping

Maybe wait until you need to buy a bunch and get the free shipping

Fair enough I checked the website, you are correct. Also as a side note as you can do the same with eBay depending on the seller for used. But Blu Rays I can absolutely guarantee you though are a much better deal than on Amazon though. Amazon is just bad not for pricing, but also taking 30% paycut from everything sold. Rightstuf takes much less which explains why all the Blu Rays and figures exist on there.

That is also true. You do need to spend more than 40$ worth of stuff to even get free shipping if I remember right and there is discounts and sales every now and then on there.

When I buy things I rarely spend less than a hundred eurobucks at once.

>that satsuki
I fucking love it man

>Euro
That explains a lot actually. In America we usually have price conscious people as well here that do not understand how pic related and various things of this nature is expensive. But I always mention that Art and anime of high caliber can demand a high price due to its popularity and demand. We are use to prices of 60$ per sets and are spoiled compared to our Japanese counterparts that spend 400$ per set. Not saying you are wrong because some things are not really worth the price but depending on what it is it can be worth the price of paying more.

You should try scanning manga pages of the rare stuff and putting it on the internet. Would be a worthy cause for things that fell through the cracks over the last 10 years.

love those figures. I've been wanting to get some poseable ones of lupin and jigen for a while now.
Were they expensive?

This.

Do you guys double up? Like putting another line of manga in front of what's there originally. I used to do it but recently one of my bookcase collapsed so I went through a lot of trouble to replace it, but its not as easy to find space for everything now.

No.
I would, but I doubt many can read Italian. I don't consider what I have as "rare" though.

More like why are there so few? ~90% of photos ITT show localized shit. Sometimes an entire bookshelf of it, which you'd think if you're that into Japanese comic books you'd actually want to read them in their original language...

English is a foreign language to me as is and you expect me to learn another? No sir.

The ones on the left are Revoltechs. I got them when they were first released so they were about 30USD a pop. Last reissue for them was back in 2015. You still might get Lupin for cheap, but Jigen is much rarer.

It's pretty much the same story for the Figurarts on the right, which go for standard figma/figurarts prices (around 50 USD). Jigen was a limited release and again would have inflated prices

Are you a nurse?

yeah it's a really good read and gives you a clear idea on the process but don't forget that making manga comes mainly from passion so you don't need to follow everything from that book or even anything if you want, because as long as you make and draw whatever you want and interests you out of passion into a manga and follow your gut and heart you can never go wrong (that's what most mangaka just do, just draw what they think is cool or have an interest in).

I personally love it. iI's drawn by Sadamoto, the original character designer so it retains some of the look, unlike a lot of other spinoff manga. Still feels like EVA, at least to me. They also come with some cool side materials, like interviews and commentary.

Might try that, then.

>muh digital
For one, people like owning things they pay for. Physical releases look ten times better than digital. Walk into your local book store, find a manga and then compare it to its scans online. It's a night and day difference. Even manga with seemingly mediocre art looks nice on actual paper. If you're a big fan of some manga, it is 100% worth buying it. Preferably hardcover or omnibus/deluxe edition.

Lots and lots of hunting. I look for very lightly used books. Those Gundam The Origin books cost about 30 a pop and the cheapest one I've found was about 8. Looks like it was never even cracked open before either.

I've bought some books new, but nothing beats stumbling upon cheap finds.

I am the same way, but for a while I double up on the long running shounan jump stuff because I didn't have enough space, and then one of my bookshelf collapsed.

On Rx-78, I got obsessed with them 2 years ago, they are not exactly the same models, from the left is version 3.0, 1/144 HG 30th anniversary edition, Ver. Ka, Version 2.0, One Year War version 1.5, and MG Gundam Origin version.

I've passed on countless purchases because of L to R printing. It's messed up cause a lot of more niche or artsy works are trapped that way.

I own or have owned most of these. It's a weird chart though. Those definitely aren't all gekiga, but if it's just alternative manga releases, it is missing a bunch.

Here's my LNs, I need to finish the last book of Wolf and Parchment before I buy a new series to read.

Or just get a Billy those things can store bricks

Not really against the ecchi stuff, I just don't like the character design and the overall art style

It's not much, but it's mine.

I have a rather eclectic collection in 3 different languages. Assembled over the years so there's really no theme to it. Some memey stuff tho because why not.

I've no interesting in obeying the sheep mentality and upholding any of your expectations. The only manga worth supporting is Hunter x Hunter and even then why not just read it in superior digital form instead of wasting space and outing yourself as a social outcast by hoarding comics in your room. It is my belief that a person must strive to be the best version of himself, and that includes proper management of monetary value instead of throwing it around on chinese comicbooks after age of eighteen. Quite frankly I really do find you shounenbabies fascinating, such desire, no, need to fit in with the norm that is a elite weeaboo.

>superior digital form
Literally the worst way to read it.
Cleaning results in loss of detail.
It's like supporting that automated cleaning program for anime that just removes grain.
Back to your containment thread Wan Piss fag.

I respect your opinion but I do not agree with it. Digital version does indeed in most cases have a loss of detail but it is very miniscule and with proper sharpening of your body and mind you will not rely on mediocre shadings from chinese comic books to understand or enjoy a scene. There's a point in which the ease of access and general practical use outweighs the niche use of materialistic books. I prefer to use my money, time and space on much more important things. Books are meant to be used and learnt from, not to get controlled by them friend. Don't allow yourself to get peer pressured little buddy, I have high hopes for you. Good evening.

Thinking about to get Berserk Deluxe Edition. Looks nice.
Expensive, but there's a big enough gap between the releases so it's not that much of a problem.

"""""collection""""

I like reading digital because I literally have no room for manga in my apartment unless I just leave them on the floor to catch dust.

Here my shit

What are these series? Don't speak nip.

>Cleaning results in loss of detail
Do you have any examples of this "cleaning" and comparisons depicting the lost detail? Because I'm pretty sure good scans don't lose any. If you're reading low quality scans that's another issue entirely.

By good scans, you mean volume scans that don't have to do as much cleaning.
There are scanlation groups that do a good job with cleaning up the panels, like FKMTKrazy with Kaiji, but a famous example of poor cleaning (and poor scan quality in general) are the old DB scans and the current Dragon Ball Super scans.
There was a thread a while back where a guy was comparing Goku UI in the Japanese tank vs the scan that was up.
Would look for the thread where this happened, but this was back in late July and fireden isn't hosting the Yea Forums archive anymore.
Also, the DBS thing isn't limited to scanlations, the official ones Viz puts up look like absolute ass compared to the volumes.

desuarchive still does the archives

Took a while, but I found the image I was talking about. Will grab an image of the scan of this same panel

Attached: goku ui.jpg (1161x2064, 771K)

The image on the whole is a lot more blurry, probably because most (bad) scanlators put up compressed images, this results everything around Goku's face looking a lot less clean and just in general blurry.
This isn't on the same level as the old DB scans, where you could tell that the spine wasn't broken and half the image was incomprehensible, but it is still poor especially for official scans
It's why the best scans will always be of the English tankoban release. A) there are some cases (like with Togashi in particular) where the mangaka goes back to redraw some scenes and B) the people who scan them almost always have uncompressed images.

I love your mentality. I have the same idealogy. Blu Rays, a few figures at best are the only things worth spending money on. Things that are long term value and you know you will go back to. Not to satisfy everyone else's perception and waste money.

Yeah.

How do you read manga then?

B A S E D

I been using this same ideology though I don't care much for figures, stopped collecting manga, boxed all of it up and put it at the bottom of my closet and just pirate shit and get a few blu rays though there are some manga I still buy like the new Berserk volumes and the rest of the Vagabond vizbigs plus Blade of the immortal. I deem everything else worthless.

I just read the same four volumes of Excel Saga over and over again.

I am nearing 30 but I have been on Neetbux. I have realized that people spend money on worthless shit. Just seeing this amount of manga makes me laugh.
>just pirate shit and get a few blu rays though there are some manga I still buy like the new Berserk volumes and the rest of the Vagabond vizbigs plus Blade of the immortal. I deem everything else worthless.
Exactly. I only buy a few Blu-Rays a year from anime I watch that I know I am going to go back to constantly for a great story. As for Berserk do you buy it digitally? Vegabond is pretty great though and Blade Of The Immortal is so old-school I remember buying a free volumes in 2004 and liking it. Thought it was hardcore and much more so than Berserk at times.

the first volume of Inuyasha and a Shonen Jump from 2007

Yahoo auctions and Suru mostly. I'll hit up swap meets, Mandrake, and I'll buy them from the author if I can but I keep falling for series that are a little past prime production.

My favourite manga was fully released in English, but not scanlated. A lot of manga, outside of big Jump series or ones that got anime adaptations, that got English releases don't have free digital copies. I paid sub $2 for almost every volume of my favourite series. A few years back it got a kindle release. $147 for the whole thing. I'll pass. The fact that it had a digital option added years later was only because it is a Viz license and they are still in business. A lot of other series I own weren't that lucky.

I guess if the people making this argument are talking big three or something, yeah free digital scans are great. Don't pretend they are always an option.

What manga?

> fully released in English
>scanlated
Then the word is "scanned"

I don’t have enough space for single file so I have to triple up my shelves which is why I haven’t bothered posting a pic of my collection

>I don't buy manga cuz we digital now grandpa
Yeah that's totally not coming from teenaged poorfags who still have to experience what it means to have a steady income you can partially spend on your long-time passions.

Only got 2 volumes of blade of the immortal

I will never have a job where I can blow all of it on manga and blu-rays I want thats sitting in my Amazon cart for months

t.college poorfag

Man that's super close to my own.

Only got into manga purchasing recently and am sticking to hardcover/omnibus stuff. Have that Akira set, Berserk/Jojo hardcovers and that Nausicaa set too, it's amazing. Considering the Fullmetal Alchemist and those sweet Gundam Origin hardcovers, I've heard good stuff about the the manga vs the anime.

Also recently bought the MGS I-IV double volume art collections, love me some Shinkawa.

Are you in Japan? I heard importing porn can be dangerous.

I was a college student too and I still got my manga from time to time. You don't need to eat everyday, you need to priorize what's important.

I have a meal plan so I don't have to worry about food

The master editions of Blame and those Gundam releases, worth the buy?

Can't take a picture since I have to move too much shit.

How are the One Piece box sets? Own most of the first 30 volumes but been looking at them for cost efficiency.

my fucking god

Attached: illya.png (601x654, 354K)

The three box sets so far reach vol 70, they cost me around 125€ for box 1, 106€ for the second and 116 for the third, so about 5€ per volume.
That's very reasonable as far as I'm concerned
