New batch of reviews.
Deadman Wonderland
It's kinda like Gantz. It's gory, supernatural and it involves a prison like system that pits the inmates against each other or against new experiments so that they can level up on a point system, which allows them to buy new stuff. It involves a kid who get's framed for the murder of his classmates and sent to a brutal prison that uses it's inmates as gladiators in a live TV show, this kid wants to take revenge on the real killer, but he also needs to survive in the harsh prison environment. He finds out he has powers and his forced down into an experimental area in the prison, which puts him into fights against other powerful inmates.
I like manga that are open with their brutality, mainly because it's something rarely seen in any other form of media and Deadman handles that brutality really well. The premise and characters are all really interesting, everyone in the prison is kind of insane and they've all done really bad things in their pasts, which only makes you more interested. If you like manga like Gantz, then I highly recommend Deadman Wonderland. 8/10.
Beezlebub
Beezlebub follows a very standard manga path, which means it falls into a 'done that, been there' format that a lot of highschool orientated titles do. It acknowledges it's clichés though and instead offers you cool characters and an adventure into delinquent highscool badassery. The twist in this manga that differentiates from others, is that the lead character has a demon baby thrust upon him and the baby gives him demonic powers, it also doesn't help that the lead is a delinquent and so the story goes through a bunch of crazy scenarios that strengthens their relationship and introduces new characters into the mix.
If you've enjoyed the supernatural highscool shounens like Yu Yu Hakusho, History's Strongest Disciple and (maybe?) Bleach. Then I'm sure you'll enjoy Beezlebub. It gets a solid 7/10.
Aki Sora
Umm. It's borderline hentai that involves a young kid that falls in love with his older sister and then goes on to be extremely confused about his circumstances throughout the series. He also get's into a bunch of other relationships with all these other girls that take advantage of his boyish nature, he's raped by his twin sister and he's forced to dress up like a girl every once in a while. I don't really care about all the sexual stuff and the plot is pretty much non-existent. It's basically about a boy who's fallen into these weird sexual circumstances and his urges overcome his better sense, it doesn't have any sort of direction and it's just filled with random blow jobs. I don't recommend Aki Sora, but I do understand people enjoy these kind of Erotic fantasy mangas and I'll at least say that the dialogue isn't rubbish, the drawings are decent and it has some pretty goofy moments in it, though it did make me feel awkward more than once. 4/10.
Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
