Evil Genius

Kiske looks like an dark anime-version of Sherlock Holmes, and Watson's just way fucking out there.

Raki doesn't look anything like he was before. I understand it's been 7 years, but Jesus.

Much to look forward to in next week's chapter.

My bet is that they're going to peace out after exchanging a few swings.

On a different topic, but not completely unrelated: Why is it that Miyata and Takamura started out in weight classes lower then their natural body weight? I wouldn't think that Coach Kamogawa would intentionally handicap his fighters.

Hm, I can't say they're simple changes. Any single one of these upgrades would improve your overall viability and/or survivability. Unlocking these through achievements sound like a drag to me; namely the impossible ones mentioned.

The tables have turned for Miyata; now he's on the receiving end.

Everyone's always wished that Ippo and Miyata would be able to compete at a grander stage, so this would definitely be a grand finale. But Miyata still needs something that would put him on even terms with Randy.

Yeah, I never expected Sawamura to make another appearance in the manga, and Miyata dying is a little extreme; I just felt that it would add a deeper sense of finality between Ippo and Miyata. Miyata being done in like his father would leave a good bitter aftertaste, and Ippo would likely mature fro...

I can't see their fight ending in any other way then a decisive KO, both of them tend to knock out their opponents. Neither of them would be satisfied if the match ended up being decided by points. And with what we have so far, the odds are stacked against Miyata unless Sendo manages to beat some ne...

It's at about 80 chapters. I do have links, but it feels like an unspoken rule not to share such things; you'll have to find them for yourself.

What a waste of ink and time, this manga is definitely in a slump.

This story is a comedy. The art quality isn't to die for, and may seem unappealing at first. The story feels more like a light snack to stave off manga-cravings, but isn't bland enough to make you want to drop it. The main character is a guy named Kitano who's born with a sinister face, but has a go...

"Burrrp.. Oh! Ex Firebaaaall!!!"

Priceless.

The Berserk anime was a real mind-fuck when it came to the Eclipse. There was no foreshadowing about it aside from cameo appearances by Zodd, and the ominous purpose of the Behelit. There was no rhyme or reason as to why these people, who've put so much on the line, were to be massacred. It was a ho...

The IRC bot is still safe...FOR NOW.

I hate cliffhangers.

To Brain:

On a similar note, I have to say I won't be hosting any direct downloads anymore. The reason is that for once US law is better for internet users than German law. In Germany, if any lawyer finds I am hosting this stuff, he can send me something like a C&D letter, even if noone hired him to do i...

It seems Dark Horse is taking action against websites hosting Berserk. It doesn't apply to us of course, but news is news.

"Let's get Awesome!"

More or less. Chapters are coming at a snail's pace, but they're still good. Level four seems ridiculous.

What the hell did you just make me watch...

In anticipation for Smash Bros. Brawl:

Takamura all the way: Hajime no Ippo.

I don't mean a blatant similarity, but a few facial quirks and gestures along the way that reminded me of FMA.

By the way, what manga is D.Gray-man supposed to be a rip-off of anyway? There is a similar art-style between D.Gray and Full Metal Alchemist, but that's about it. [spoiler]I'd have to agree that Allen's evolution the the Crown Clown was pretty friggin' awesome. I was expecting something cliche' lik...
