Flame Dragon Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 So I've been looking for a new series to read and this is on the top of the list. I remember watching parts of the dub back when it was on and liking it, plus I love Fairy Tail so I should also like this. So thoughts on the series as a whole and if I should start reading it?

Tentacruel Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 My little sister reads it and she likes it, but I have only seen the first episode. It's pretty good, maybe not quite as good as Fairy Tail, but the two series are both so similar you'll probably like it. In the end, it's Fairy Tail with less boob shots.

Phantom Roxas Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Fairy Tail has a lot of things I don't think you could fully understand unless you know Rave Master. Considering how the anime hardly covers a third of the manga, I recommend the manga a lot. Hiro Mashima is my favorite mangaka because of this and Fairy Tail, so I definitely recommend this. It has it's fair share of fanservice, but definitely not as much as Fairy Tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I know I prefer readin the manga over watching the anime so the anime doesn't factor that much into things for me. I can live with less fan service since FT can push it a bit in some chapters. So looks like I'm going to start reading it. Odds are I'll start tomorrow and I'll say what I think after I read a bit.

Flame Dragon Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 So, I got around to start Rave Master. I'm 30 chapters in and I really like it so far. Decent way in for a days work imo. Now at 147. 3 days to get half way. I have to much free time. (edit made 1/5) So, I hit 244. Can't believe I only have like 50 chapters left. It's been a fun read. Odds are I'll finish up Saturday since I'm doing stuff tomorrow. If I do finish then, it would have only taken me a week to read almost 300 chapters. Wow, that's a little sad.

Flame Dragon Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 And I'm done. Wow, it went fast. It was a great ride and a great series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Really? I spent a lot of time just trying to read the series, but that was fast. I love the series. Makes me hope they do something like Dragonball Z Kai and remake the series, but actually get to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I thought the fights were a little too long winded tbh. Also we never did get to see if Haru could get all the Rave Charms. Elie was very Hawt though EDIT: referring to the Anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 From what I heard about the anime it's not that great and for some reason stops 1/3 of the way though. Yea, I'd like to see them try it again, but sadly I don't see that happen. Nothing wrong with dreaming though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weather Report - Stand Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I love Rave Master. I finished it a while back, and I can honestly say it was an exciting ride. The characters were electric, the running gags were almost too much for me, and every arc always felt so much different from the last (favorite was the Hardner arc for the scale of everything and all the interesting fights, along with the supporting cast introduced). Overall, at some points it seemed to suffer from some 'bad' writing, but the overall tone of the story, along with said main cast, helped pull it together for the entire journey. But I'm still disturbed at how Ruby went half-naked for the good part of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that like Dragonball Kai, they do try it again, but I'm not sure if it's popular enough to warrant a second anime adaptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 The dub was fine, but the manga was far superior because it actually finishes the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
