Intro thread titles have never been interesting

Posted March 03 2012 - 08:02 PM

So your fearless leader lead me to this place.

I'm not into any particular genre of manga or anime. I watched the first arc of Gundam AGE and I'm not too sure I want to continue. I've just started reading Black Gate which I know sounds like it'd be some sort of hentai. Vocaloid is awesome, too, but depends on the character.

Perhaps the best way to start this intro is to take any questions any of you might have.

I love Vocaloid too! Guessing by your icon, your favorite is Len, right?

Jura

My favorite would be Len for sure. I like to run around Nico Nico Douga and Pixiv quite a bit gathering fan art and videos with Len being most of em.

Well, at least you're a sane Len fan. I've run into too much of those crazy Len fantards. It's getting annoying.

Eh...does that mean you can read Japanese? I'm learning bit by bit, it's a miracle I can use NicoNico Douga. I've heard of Pixiv, it's where I found that cute picture of Lily and Kiyoteru. :3

Not a lot, but I'm really good at finding what I want to know and navigating sites. Pixiv has an English setting.

Drawr is nice, too.

Glad to see that you made it Jura. My question is obvious. What do we have to do to get you to read Kenichi?

Jura

Most manga I read are 2-5 or so volumes. The longest manga I've ever read was Alive: The Final Evolution with 82 chapters. What gets my attention to start reading something is always the artwork and its style. Kenichi doesn't appear to do that for me.

What about the story?!

Kenichi is kind of rough at the beginning..but for art...I dunno, I think it's pretty epic.

Do you have any friends that might like it?

Also your avatar is cute. :3

Visuals are a prerequisite. There's something similar to most manga I read, but I'd rather not give it away to what that is so easily. I'd have to know how to describe why something is great to see if it would something someone might like other than its reception.

Well, the visuals get better.

As a visual enthusiast myself, I have to say I was a little turned away by the initial art style, but they do develop and refine it to a point that it's actually quite pretty now compared to when it was first started.

I think you'd enjoy it.
