Basilisk
Moderator: EG Members
I've checked it and found the character page in the official site.

The funny thing is... watching this page, you can't tell which is the "good" team!
...in the manga as well.

Nothing is as easy as it looks.
Thats cause there isnt a good team or a bad team since this a fight about which clan is the strongest and will be knows as the strongest. That they have hated eachother for centurys is just more feul to the fire.

You're right... but I'm still for the Kogas; the Igas are too sly... it's just the feeling they gives me.Libaax wrote:Thats cause there isnt a good team or a bad team since this a fight about which clan is the strongest and will be knows as the strongest.

But according to a friend of mine, for example, the Igas are doing exactly what a ninja has to do and so he wish for their victory. Different points of view.

I also like the manga more than the anime but i stopped reading the cause the anime is ahead of the manga.
The art in manga is awesome i will read the manga when i'm finished with the anime just cause of the art.

With this sort of manga and anime the anime will usually seem a lot slower, because you can rush through a whole page of panels, while you'll sit an watch a slow bit where they do nothing but show the face of a protagonist agonising over something.martyr3810 wrote:Not surprisingly I like the manga better than the anime and its good so far, but does it seem a bit rushed to anyone else?
So yeah, the manga seemed rushed. However, I think the relationship between Oboro and Gennosuke still came out better in the manga, although I haven't really read very much.
I just read the last chapters of that manga and....woah, that was some great manga.
I think that is how a story about ninja should be: vicious, cruel, a battle of wits (see Saemon). It's been awhile since I had such satisfying read. But the relation Oboro/Gennosuke plus the art really was what separate this manga from the bulk.
The size (5 vol) is actually not an issue, it would be a plus: I tend to see wat too much mangas who keep going way past their expiration dates. The concise size, in this case, allowed for very decisives battles charged with tension.
In short, Basilisk will a a place of choice in my library!
Edit:I don't think necro apply to this thread since the last chapters just came out and they conclude the manga on an expected, but nevertheless very touching note. Since EG is somehow the Berserk place, Basilisk deserve more love.

To answer a question in another thread about wannabe and gay ninjas (they're useless too), Basilisk anime and manga are pretty much carbon copy of each other, it's rare but the enime is actually at the same level as the manga.
SO yeah, go read it and if you like it (as you should) and have japanese-english translation skills, come and help us to get the other work of the mangaka out, a sequel (or a prequel actually, I'm not sure since we need this monster translated) of Basilisk.

The last thing I want is another scanlation group stealing this project, which is why I haven't said or announced anything about a followup or anything else. Yes, we have started a bit of it, and yes, you will know the title once we release it. I didn't want anyone to know about it to risk if any other scanlation group takes the project from us, and somehow the cat is out of the bag here.
If anyone's interested in translating it, send me a PM and we'll discuss it.

Albator is already part of EG and we have tried to get translators for this and also other projects as well.
I'm quite dissatisfied with the lack of response or interest in our projects, but what can we do? Probably nothing much.

Thats cause sadly most translators wants to mainstream mangas the only mainstreams mangas EG have is Zetman and Berserk.
Still hope someone wants to translate this manga.
Have you put in #lurk that you need translator for this manga? Maybe some leecher will want to help cause he is a fan of the anime or manga.
