Hmmm... they licensed Olimpos? Eh, my friend read the Japanese version before. It was average: great artwork, nice concepts but the writing was "meh".
I wished they licensed the DRR novels though. The manga was just terrible and not even worth reading. *sighs* To think I was eagerly awaiting YP's latest announcements. |

I actually enjoy the DRRR!! manga over the anime, although I can't say I'm a big fan of DRRR!! as a whole. For one, the anime toned down a lot of the violence or made it less noticeable in the background.
For example, in the anime after Walker and Erika explained their torture tactics by having their victim choose from the various Dengeki Bunko novels the scene then shifts to outside the van and there is a slight audible yell and you can tell that 'bad stuff' is happening in there and it all ends quite comically and really downplays their dark character. Contrast this with the manga, which has my personal favorite facial expressions of Erika and Walker as they press the soldering iron extremely close to the dude's outstretched eye. I favor the darker tone myself, but I can understand why the anime toned it down for the fujoshi after seeing that Baccano's sales in Japan were rather lackluster. The manga appeals to me more though. |
