Re: ToA Manga

What in the world...?!

It was perfectly fine (except for some Sheridan!fanservice) up until the final two volumes and then it did a complete 180 turn and I think my brain just exploded.

It. just. exploded.

This manga is now a complete and total AU...! Shounen-style.

...And also Legretta is 85% naked. You need to know this.

I no rite

Seriously, first they spent, like, 5 chapters in the core...and then before we know it they're at Eldrant.

I don't know what the heck happened but it's like the publishers/Namco were rushing the artist near the end or something...

oh and it's painfully obvious that she's an AschxNatalia fangirl

I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case - being rushed towards the end, since it happened with the Asch manga supposedly. I figure it's probably somewhat commonplace. Deadlines being deadlines and things like popularity and etc. playing a part, too. Maybe something else big was coming along, maybe it wasn't doing very well; I don't know. And I figure the creativity might partially be to avoid skipping over parts at the end completely. I'm just glad the Asch vs Luke fight got more than three or so pages like it did in the Asch manga. Although suddenly it was over and BLACK SCREEN. FINAL BOSS FIGHT! (...huh?)

Ah, frankly that doesn't bother me since I am, too. XD Although it's a little...strange how towards the end Natalia has a more prominent role and characters like Jade and Anise get very little attention. Anise especially I felt had her arc (after spoilers) just basically skimmed over and Jade... he was there but I barely noticed him.

I'm more "whuh" at Legretta being revived instead of Sync. :|b As much as I like her. Mayhap the artist is a Van/Legretta shipper as well.

Most video game manga ends abruptly, if not canceled :( I was hoping that Abyss would have fared better, though.

Only reading that made me laugh xD

I still have to see that manga though. I think I read only a few first chapters so far.
