20th Century Boys

[Miles Edgeworth]

I have heard from many, many people that this was a great manga. Since I'm finally on winter break I decided to start reading it.

I must say it's really interesting. The plot is captivating and it's only a matter of chapters before you really get curious about all the secrets to this story.

No other manga has been so interesting to me in such little time. I'm only on chapter 16 and I can't wait to read the rest.

[Phoenix Wright]

Yeah since I got you into it. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/hurr.gif

Best manga ever actually. Too bad it's not that well known. =/

No spoilers for Lee, guys. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/emotawesomepm9.gif

[Miles Edgeworth]

Lol yep. It really is one of the best, if not the best, mangas I have ever read. And yeah spoilers would annoy me. I'm 4 volumes in but come on now, I would rage if some huge plot point was spoiled for me.

[Phoenix Wright]

Yeah, so that means don't go to the wiki(which sux anyway) or don't go to the regular wikipedia page, I mean come on, wiki's and their spoilers. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/hm.png

[Miles Edgeworth]

Lol yeah.

Also, I must say: Otcho is win.

[NBT]

I may check it out sometime.

[Phoenix Wright]

Yeah, you should, it's awesome. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/15gch6u.png

@Lee: Yup, except that everyone is win. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/2z7exox.png

[Miles Edgeworth]

I may check it out sometime.

You should, before you check out any other series. It's that good.

@Lee: Yup, except that everyone is win. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/2z7exox.png

Can anyone trump Otcho's epicness level though? O_o

[Phoenix Wright]

I don't know, possibly, but it depends. Plus I might spoil you. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/kruemelmonsteryn0.gif
It's okay, this spoiler is safe.
Kanna is Friend. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/2z7exox.png
Lol jk.

[Miles Edgeworth]

The chances of Kanna being Friend are the same as Otcho being a loser...

OH WAIT O_o

[Dio Brando]

Excellent. :]

[Phoenix Wright]

@Lee Otcho's a huge loser then. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/2z7exox.png

@Dio Yeah I know right http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/omges1.pnghttp://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/omges1.pnghttp://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/omges1.png

[Miles Edgeworth]

Excellent. :]

Lol yep, I finally got into it. And now it's my favorite manga. xD

@Lee Otcho's a huge loser then. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/2z7exox.png

WHAT THE WHAT

[Phoenix Wright]

Only because Kanna's friend. Hey man, you said it, feel free to take it back.

[Azal]

I just realised something very odd about this thred
apart from two people including me the only people posting are miles Edgeworth and Pheonix wright
am I the only one who finds this weird

[Phoenix Wright]

If you would read between the lines... We're having a secret trial, this is very important, we're figuring out how innocent my client is *cough*

objection

[Phoenix Wright]

Are you accusing me of something? http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/hm.png
Because my client is VERY innocent. So innocent it makes them seem guilty.
What do you have to say about that Mr. Judge? http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/2z7exox.png

I feel that if Judge didn't die a horrible death due to the true culprit, not my client*cough*

Then he would inform us to stay on topic.

Therefore I will again remark upon how Kanna is most definitely Friend. Any objections, please take that up with the God of prosecutingdefending, Manfred von Karma Phoenix Wright and my innocent client.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I just read the first chapter, it was pretty good. I'm going to finish the last two episodes of this anime I've been watching, and probably sleep. But, I think I'll check out some more chapters later.

[Phoenix Wright]

Well most manga are slow in the beginning... But by reading just a few more chapters than the first one and already you'll be into it unless it's not your style. The first chapters of most manga aren't going to make you love it of course and they're all a slow start, but once you're a couple chapters in you'll definitely love it, compared to others when you don't get into it until way later on because it introduces OVER 9000 things into the story and whatnot.

Basically if you think the first chapter was good, you'll love the rest. It picks up pretty fast compared to other manga and you'll find yourself flipping through pages wanting to find out what's going on.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Well, I'm going to read it, just I've only got to watch two more episodes of this, so I'd like to get it done before I get swallowed in by a story. xD

[Phoenix Wright]

Lol well yeah. Just saying though. Even I, who hates sitting through long-ass boring beginnings to manga, this one took off pretty fast and got me wondering from practically the start.

Oh yeah, and there's this kid, her name is Kanna. She's the mastermind behind the entire manga. Tru stori http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/2pys0vr.png

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Well, I keep hearing people say it's better than One Piece, which I find it hard to believe there is a better manga. Then again, I at one point said the same about Elfen Lied. If it's really supposed to be competition to OP though, it's got to be good.

Trust me, it really is better than OP.

OP is good and all, but 20th Century Boys is the best I've come across.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

We'll see. It might be a little difficult for me to compare them when it's done, based on the difference in genre.

[Phoenix Wright]

Well, Miles, being the huge TTGL fan that he is, claims that some characters would make Kamina crap their pants. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/lmao.gif And.. because of this particular genre, and how it's written, the characters are actually realistic unlike TTGL, since, you know, Mecha, in space, and stuff.

I don't know what kind of genre of manga/anime you like though, but it's not filled with Bishi like in Death Note or other manga like that, which makes it even more awesome since Urasawa really knows how to write a manga, and an epic one at that.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I like any manga with a good story or light entertainment. My favorite genres have been action, supernatural, romance, comedy, ecchi, horror and suspense so far. I also like anything that keeps me guessing.

[Phoenix Wright]

Yeah, you'll love this. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/gar2fy5.gif

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Awesome. I guess, I also quite enjoy when writers end chapters with a cliffhanger.

[Phoenix Wright]

http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/2pys0vr.png Perfect.

[Dio Brando]

Friend is awesome.

[Miles Edgeworth]

I wonder who Friend actually is. The suspense is too great. xD

[Phoenix Wright]

Oh my friggin- I already told you dude. But if you don't believe me you can see for yourself! (But yeah Friend is pretty awesome xD)

I would have sent this like... 50 minutes ago but my internet failed so I gave up and went to play some Minecraft.

[Miles Edgeworth]

O_O Wow, I just finished 20th Century Boys and I must say:

Mind=Blown

Best manga I have ever read. This was just too amazing.

/Goes to read 21st Century Boys

[Dio Brando]

Wow that was fast. :O

[Miles Edgeworth]

Wow that was fast. :O

I speed through manga this great. xD

[NBT]

How many chapters are there?

[Miles Edgeworth]

How many chapters are there?

265 chapters. 249 for 20th Century Boys and 16 for 21st Century Boys.

[Phoenix Wright]

FUUUFUUUFUUUFUUUUU-
I had the flu so I wasn't on TT_TT
Damn though, awesome that you finally read it Lee.

I read it in 2 days though http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/2z7exox.png

Hopefully I'll actually be online later today though, I'm still sick but I'm feeling better, maybe I'll be on AIM so we can finally discuss it, and I can tell you some stuff I wanted to tell you. Too bad I wasn't on when you finished it though, but still.

[Inuyasha]

I might try it out

2 days? Wut the wut?

Took me five. xD

But yeah, this was amazing. I will never regret using those five days to read it.

I might try it out

You should, best manga ever in my opinion.

[Phoenix Wright]

Yeah, it only took me two days. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/hurr.gif

[Space Cowboy Sasori]

Speed Reader.

>.>

[Miles Edgeworth]

Speed reader indeed, I don't think I even read One Piece at such a fast rate. O_o

[NarutoUzumaki12]

from the posts in this thread i just might try the manga out

[Miles Edgeworth]

Awesome, we gotta get more people to read it. xD

[Fan of Minato]

Its a good manga, I finished reading it.
The sequel is somewhat a bit boring though, due to some reason. Its probably because I read 20th century boys too much without many breaks. >_> xDD

[Miles Edgeworth]

Well 20th Century Boys starts to slow down a bit at the end. It reaches a lot of epic points and then seems to go to a different period of time and slows down. It's not that slow but it feels that way when compared to what was just going on.

[Space Cowboy Sasori]

Where did you read this by the way?

I can't really find it anywhere. =/

[Dio Brando]

Manga Trader. Miles downloaded it.

[Skrall]

I heard about this manga. Isn't there also a 21st Century Boys?

[Dio Brando]

That's the sequel.

[Miles Edgeworth]

Downloading it uses a heckuva lot of space though so if you're gonna do that then you either have to delete it all later, which blows, or get somewhere to store it like an external hard drive.

[NBT]

What about a flashdrive?

[Miles Edgeworth]

Well depends on how much memory you have on it.

20th Century Boys takes up plenty of memory considering there are 22 volumes, plus another 2 for 21st Century Boys.

[Phoenix Wright]

I have a site that you all can read it on if you don't want to download it.
Bumping this thread, since Lee told me to. I thought we moved to the FC but alright you want posts here, that's cool.

[Miles Edgeworth]

Well it's better with both. =P

Besides, moar people came here than there. So by adding publicity here, we get moar THERE.

So yeah, for any 20th CB fans or potential fans, join the FC. It's good. =D
