Black God / Kuro Kami

Okay, I admit, this is short time for me. I only read 3 chapters. Meh, I know, shun the Naki and stuff...

This looked promising, but it wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be. The summary said it was about dopplegangers, which I've always thought were an interesting concept. But no, it wasn't that great... It was confusing and hard to follow, and I felt like reading it was a chore. I don't torture myself when reading things. Except Detective Conan, and that's just so I can say I've read all 707 chapters and then talk about how awful it is. I'm only sometimes masochistic. XD

Anyway. Also, the art style annoyed me. It didn't look like manga. It was also hard to follow.

But yeah. I'll give this story the benefit of the doubt and rate it 4 out of 10.

I'm sure it's very good to some people. Those people just aren't me.

To each his own.

Now on to Blazer Drive! That looked promising!

Black Cat

Why hello there, my 0.537 readers! I'm sorry for not poasting in a while, but Black Cat was 185 chapters long.

Anyway.

Black Cat is a manga about a sweeper(bounty hunter) named Train Heartnet, his partner Sven Vollfied, and Eve, the 'Little Princess'.

Train is an ex-member of an organization called Chronos, and all they really tell you about Chronos is that it is big and powerful and secret. Anyway. Black Cat is the story of Train and his companions as they go to defeat Train's ex-partner Creed, who wants to be god(where have we seen that before?).

Along the journey, Train and his companions meet new people, reveal their pasts, and get some nice, lovely character development.

It's kind of cheesy in its theme, but Black Cat reminds me of a bunch of awesome manga/anime/video games.

It seems like a combination of:

Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Death Note
Tales of Symphonia
Alive - The Final Evolution
S-CRY-ed
And a bunch more that I had in my head while reading the manga but have now forgotten. Trigun and Cowboy Bebop the most, though. Train even has his own Rem, though her name is Saya and she's more of a love interest.

Anyway.

I rank this story 9.5 out of 10.

I'm tired of the asterisks thing, they are useless.

Anyway.

On to Black God(or Kuro Kami)!
