Review #9 Date: 2 August 2009.
While not as bad as Shooting Star, this isn't much of an improvement. It has some of the worst panel composition I've ever seen.
Review #6 Date: 10 April 2009. Not a good way to start off my Seen All section. I'm not a huge fan of Bebop aside from the music, but even so, it can do a lot better than whatever was trying to be accomplished here.
Review #10 Date: 2 August 2009.
I admit that after watching the alternate reality bit in ep. 26 of the TV series I wanted to see some more of that world, but this makes me take it back. It does have that "so bad it's good" vibe, like a bad soap opera, so it might be worth a read.
Review #1 Date: 3 March 2009.
Meh, I read a bit of this when I really into the Death Note anime, but just like I got tired and disenchanted with the anime, so too did I get disenchanted with this one.
Read 1 volume (vol. 5) and bits of various chapters.
Review #2 Date: 3 March 2009.
The series is a lot more fun without the bad pacing that's so prevalent in the anime series. I stopped at the end of the Dragon Ball seeing as how Viz did too many edits to Z.
Read 16 volumes.
Review #3 Date: 3 March 2009.
This one is rather boring, even for a big Kingdom Hearts fan like me. While it'll certainly appeal to the younger fan base of the Kingdom Hearts franchise, the older crowd is much better off sticking with the games.
Read 1 volume.
Review #5 Date: 13 March 2009. I read the first volume of this one from my library and it made me chuckle a few times, but it feel flat for me overall. Even though it's a parody, it tried to get serious toward the end and it just seemed like I've read this story before. Meh.
Review #7 Date: 19 June 2009.
Man, I just couldn't get into this one. Miyazaki touches on the exact same points he makes in the movie, but drags/draws it out on a much bigger scope in the Nausicaa world. So with that in mind, I just couldn't be bothered to fight through the art style, which completely bogs itself down in detail, to care for seeing the same thing twice.
NOTE: Read 2 volumes.
Review #4 Date: 3 March 2009.
I only read the one chapter preview in Shonen Jump. It seems like they are a lot better Shonen manga to spend my time on.
