Anime/manga blogs, journals and twitters

I've just started a twitter account that I will dedicate to manga. I will update it daily, with my reading progress, recommendations and other stuff.

The thing is, this is kind of boring to do if you're the only one who is both reading it and doing it. Therefore it would be cool if some of you guys on mangahelpers did it too.

Maybe it doesn't sound that funny, but it would be cool to see other peoples reading progress and stuff.

Examples of what to put in a blog/journal/twitter:
- Competitions
- Reading progress
- Recommendations
- Top-lists and favorites (top manga, top mangakas, top fights, top women, top soundtrack)
- Quotes from anime/manga/mangakas etc.

I'll make a list of people doing it in this first post, and hopefully it'll be interesting.

hehe i love it. The cute effect it gives interior design. But I wouldn't want to use that on tankoubons though

Can anyone help me find Ghostface? As far as i know its a webcomic, but i'm not sure. Tokyopop, before their demise, printed the 1st volume in english, but i guess that nobody has scanned and uploaded it. At least i can't find.

I dunno what would be the proper place to post this,so i'm just posting it here. I personally like this site for online reading,and they add a page after every chapter they host asking ppl to upload chapters there!!that's a shame,a nice site being overlooked this much. So here it is:
Unixmanga.

If you guys like the site,spread the word!!

 

[BakaHaze]

Imo Batoto prolly just as good, but yeah Unixmanga is unblocked at school, soo....

I'm looking for a nice quote for my final thesis which should be somehow related to the manga fan scene. If anyone can help, it would be really cool to get some suggestions:

Looked through to manga quotation thread but there's mostly power and honor and battle quotes, so not really what I'm looking for

 

[ashher]

^ there could be something in Bakuman. Since i don't read the series,may be you can ask those who do.

 

[BakaHaze]

I replied. I guess other animes/mangas...

Maybe Phythagora Switch? Dragon Zakura? for Education, I mean.

I swear I can't think of any Germans in anime.

 

[baboysai]

Dragon Zakura sounds good. I never got to thinking where he got his philosophies from though. Maybe GTO, lol.

 

[BakaHaze]

Is the author known to be an educator?

It's a pity a good portion of the advice is useless because our exam system is so different to Japan's.

But I took the "no-highlighting" thing to heart. ^^

Hm, there is a thread for red-haired characters what about other hair styles, blonds maybe, or dark hair?

 

[Kaiten]

Not as far as I know. A favorite blonde thread would be fun, if you want to start a thread. Even if there were a thread no one should ever worry about starting a duplicate thread. I'd rather members start threads and (worst case) have to merge them than not start threads at all. Currently it seems that no one starts threads, which makes me sad. In all honesty a thread would have to be obviously identical for me to feel inclined to merge. As long as it is just different enough to sustain a separate conversation I would not even bother merging, no matter how similar.

 

[Josef]

Hm it seems like there could be a thread called something like: Characters Hair Styles which would be a general discussion, there was one I believe, but since this is your FAVORITE it might be a different conversation, but blonds and dark haired characters deserve to get some attention.

Edit:

Maybe favorite Hair color thread, but that limits the discussion, a wider discussion would involve if the threads were apart. I just feel weird starting for both blonds and dark haired ones separately, yet combining them and leaving red-haired ones out is also weird.

 

[Asarii]

Don't feel weird! Members are always encouraged to create threads, and as Kaiten has said, threads will only be merged if it's identical to another. If there was a second red-hair thread, we'll merge the two but the blonde and dark-hair threads can be left separately.

 

[ashher]

I'm currently reading -Hitogatana-. Was this manga shouted out before? if not,then its definitely worth it.

 

[Kaiten]

I featured it a while back, I can't exactly remember when. Last winter maybe. Good manga, a very enjoyable action series.

 

[BakaHaze]

Yeah, actually the shoutout was what made me read Hitogana. was epic.

 

[Kaiten]

It's been a while since a new chapter has come out, sadly. But it is one of the better off the radar shounen action I have read.

 

[BakaHaze]

Yeah, need more series lol I'm like running out.

 

[Kaiten]

Have you tried Shingeki no Kyojin yet? If you are looking for a more intense, serious action-shounen you'll love it. If you have not read Nisekoi yet, I'd recommend that too.

 

[BakaHaze]

Thanks Kait, it's hard to find good stuff these days
