Akira was, obviously, the launch off point for Anime in the west, and the movie was great. But later on I read the Manga, and they were so much richer than the movie. It seems like a 12-episode Anime would be perfect for Akira. And it would probably be successful, because everybody knows/loves it.
20th Century Boys is a bit... odder. I've read the Manga twice, and I know that there's a live action film, but the work seems so much better suited to Anime. I don't know how it's held up -- certainly no one on KIA2 mentions it. It's also not great -- the build up is fantastic, but the denouement is... odd.
Just wondering if there's a reason for this, or if it's just an historical quirk.
20CBs plot ending was very meh. The author should stick to non implicitly supernatural stories like monster
Yeah... it was super-meh. The build-up was great, though.
Monster is a fantastic Anime/Manga.
The build up was a bit too long. It kept going oh here’s the truth, no it’s not the truth, here’s the truth for real, nope. It repeated this so much that when the truth finally came out it was kinda disappointing along with the ending
