Fusion X. Denver Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Eh, I liked it. It's totally mimicking Death Note, but Death Note worked and it's still really, really popular despite its rather short length and it being completed some years ago. What I don't get is Niizuma's idea. I mean, the concept [i]could[/i] be interesting, but the main character's design could be a lot better, I think. But he himself said he needed to flesh out his design, so I'm betting it'll be reworked. I'll set aside my doubts until then. I think this'll be a cool arc.

Already I want to root for the white demon. Am I the only one that thought that they went with this arc now because of Halloween? The "dark hero" idea was been thrown around for a while now, but Eiji's choice of a zombie protagonist struck me as suspicious. I honestly doubt that Eiji's new work will be an improvement over Crow, and I would rather seem more focus on him and Iwase working together on +Natural. With Ashirogi working on "Death Note With Demons", I'd like to see how they improve on the idea. Still, this arc has potential, and looks like it will be more entertaining than the Nanamine arc, so I'll see what happens.

Fusion X. Denver Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 http://www.mangareader.net/bakuman/152 I wonder what Eiji's thinking in that last panel there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderend Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Bet eiji's gonna want zombie gun to be published to hissho jump to compete with reversi. I still think eiji could have came up with something better than zombie gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm curious how the fans of PCP will react to this, although this move could help people want to pick up Hisshou Jump if they want to continue reading PCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 So Eiji made the rival the main character's brother, only to kill him off in the third chapter? I'm not sure if that's really that good of an idea. Ashirogi's problem with cementing the plot as Schwarz vs. Weiss draws parallels to the conflict of Light and L, since there are those who consider Near an inferior rip-off of L, so Mashiro has a point that it's hard to figure out how long the story can last with just the two protagonists, although they could just follow Eiji's example and introduce a bigger villain. This would have the advantage of making Schwarz and Weiss become allies rather than rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Incidentally, I finished watching the first 7 episodes of the dub a few days back. My only complaint is that they fail at subtitling. Terribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
