I actually did not know this

[blackruzsa]

EDIT: A lot of people are saying Gutters sucks and the humor is low. I think we've covered that. So... let's just sit back and enjoy this page, or you know, skip the post entirely. Either one would be nice. Even criticizing the page itself would be nice. But not the entire webcomic, or the writer, because Sohmer didn't write this page, and if Gutters is a terribad webcomic, then skip it.

Devolving into debates only semi-related to the comic and not related to the subject matter at all can get tiring.

With that:


Gutters, with things I did not know about clichés used in comics. Mark Waid clichés. But clichés nonetheless.

Raijin Comics #0 Part 4/4: Shugo Getten Guardian Angel

[skjam]

And now the conclusion of our look at Raijin Comics #0, Shugo Getten Guardian Angel by Minene Sakurano.

You may recall I mentione that Raijin focused primarily on "manly" manga. This is the exception. It's a light teen romance that's a blatant ripoff of "Oh My Goddess!" Ten pages of thirty.

( 4000 years of Chinese history boil down to this. )

Other series that appeared during Raijin Comics' brief but fun run include:

"Bomber Girl": Oversexed bounty hunter in dystopian near-future Japan. Kind of offensive, and not in a good way.

"Bow Wow Wata": The son of a veterinarian discovers his ability to talk to animals, uses this to help them (despite his ultimate goal of becoming fabulously wealthy.) Charming, but slight.

"The First President of Japan": Japan changes its government structure so that the prime minister is directly elected, and has the same kind of executive power as the American president. The people promptly vote in a charismatic maverick who kicks butt and takes names. First-class political wank in the "Japan that can say 'no'" tradition.

"Nemuri Kyoshiro": A half-foreign ronin conceived during a black mass wanders the land. Only had a couple of chapters before the book folded. The movies are cult classics, and perhaps there will someday be a translation of the original novels.

Keiji: Larger than life samurai Keiji is a "kabukimono", who chooses to live life free of normal social and costuming restrictions. Has his own Joker-like villain. Shares some creative staff with Fist of the Blue Sky.

Mountain Climbers Saga: Short stories about mountain climbers. Intense in places.

Revenge of Mouflon: Stand up comedian Sano takes the wrong flight and winds up battling a terrorist conspiracy to destroy Japanese society. Also political wank. The terrorists consider the Japanese people "sheep", but a mouflon is a wild sheep that will fight for its life and freedom. Sano chooses to become a mouflon.

Slam Dunk: Sakuragi, a dumbass who seriously needs to get laid, meets a pretty girl that likes basketball, and winds up joining the basketball team despite no interest or knowledge about the sport. The first basketball manga, and this one has been printed by a different importer now. I lost interest about the point Sakuragi seemed to forget about the whole "doing this to get laid" subplot.


Next time, swimsuits!
