More Manga!!!
_____Anyone who read my post yesterday knows that i recently finished the first version of Fullmetal Alcemist, and loved it. After finishing it, i felt incomplete, because after waiting two weeks for the graphic novel, i had only waited for forty five minutes of bliss. It went by too quickly. So, I asked my mom if we could make a trip to barns and noble, where i would purchase more graphic novels to fill th void left by the completion of FMA, being the dollface that she is, she said she would willingly take me, as long as i spent my own money. Lucky for me, friday was allowance day, and i had 15 spare dollars, enough for two graphic novels.
_____When we got there, it was great, they had an entire wall dedicated to manga, and I could have any two I wanted. I was looking to buy the first rurouni kenshin and the first inuyasha, because everyone seems to like them so much. However, they did not have either of them. So, I was forced to browse. A few things tickled my fancy, like the second YuYu Hakusho, the first Escaflowne, a few different versions of Gundam, and I was even tempted to grab an Inuyasha animanga, or skip the first rurouni kenshin, and go to the second. In the end, I decided to go with Escaflowne (which I hear is a great anime) and Gundam The Last Outpost.
_____First I read Escaflowne, because I had heard such great things about it. I liked it a lot, but it was defineatly not what i had expected it to be. Before I speak of my encounter with a Gundam, I must pose one question to my good friend Zakku:
Why the hell do you like Van so much? He's a stupid, short, short tempered lame prince. I just can't see how you can possibly say that he is in any way cooler than Mr. Callahan. Mabye I'll find out in later volumes.
_____After that, I moved onto Gundam The Last Outpost. This spinoff of the popular Gundam Wing series takes place at the same time as the original Gundam. I had never seen or read Gundam before, but I liked it. The only thing that disapointed me was that it was hard to keep up with the Gundam fights. I had a very difficult time keeping up with what was blowing up what, and which Gundam was slashing who. Other than the confusion of the fight, I liked it.
_____Gundam Outpost is only 3 volumes, so I will buy the other two when i have cash. As for Escaflowne, I am planning on buying the Anime, and Probibly finsh the manga as well. I liked both of these books, and I find it funny that Before this, I had never read anything about giant ro bots, but after reading both of them, two of my new favorite mangas revolve around the fighting of giant robots. That's all.
