Okay, I’ve accumulated a big pile of manga, enough for 3 weeks straight without picking any more up, so I’m going to try and go through them at a volume a day, or as near to it as I can, with some sort of blog post accompanying it, probably just short impressions unless otherwise motivated. I’m also starting one of these for DVDs, of which I’ve gotten a whopping 3 months<\/i> worth of accumulated discs sitting unwatched. Let’s see how long I can keep this clearly insane plan going…<\/p>\n
Our first contender is the first volume of Gunsmith Cats: Burst<\/span>, a new run on a classic series from Kenichi Sonoda<\/span>. Okay, okay, it was new when it came out a couple years ago. What? Don’t look at me like that. I’d been planning on rereading the Omnibus editions of the original run before starting in on Burst<\/span>, I just never got around to it. While it’s (obviously) been forever since I read the original series, Burst<\/span> is instantly familiar and just as fondly remembered, and if anything, Sonoda’s<\/span> art work and obsession with detail have only gotten better with time. The cast’s all here, the humor’s good, and the action is punctuated by a couple of fantastic moments that give it that extra little something. I’m eagerly looking forward to the next volume, particularly as they left things in the middle of the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, I’ve accumulated a big pile of manga, enough for 3 weeks straight without picking any more up, so I’m going to try and go through them at a volume a day, or as near to it as I can, with some sort of blog post accompanying it, probably just short impressions unless otherwise motivated.
