Manga Discussion

wow that is gonna be an awesome issue and a great way to end the first season manga. I really hope the second season of the manga is good it would suck if it was just a poor imitation.

The end? In the manga itself, it says that there are 7 volumes.....
*scratches head*

I have the Lost memories.. vol 1.

I like it, but hey now I'm curious about Beck.

Nope, only 6. Then there's Lost Memories. I'm not sure how many volumes it will have, all I know is that there are 2 out so far.

Do the Lost Memories manga continue from the origional series or is it a new ending? Thanks for any help you can give me.

All I know is that it continues from 'In the Darkness'. I don't know if its a little 'filler' that goes into Volume 6, or a new ending.

It should be interesting to see witch way they go with the story since it is a bit different than the anime. I still have to read vol 5 when it comes out and hopefully lost memories will be translated into english also but if they dont I have the import vol 1 and 2 on order so I can at least see what happens.And thanks for answering my question.

Where'd you order the imports?

I special ordered the imports through animenation.com. All I had to do was send them the isbn numbers for the volumes and they checked to see if they could get them for me. It will take several weeks to get them though, but I have never had any problems with them.If you would like the isbn codes just ask me.

I get mine from Kinokuniya in NYC.

You can order them anywhere on the net.

I got my volume 4 today and I was supposed to get vol 5 too. Some

bastard

got the only vol. 5 at the book store. I know you're looking at this forum right now and laughing your ass off, person that got MY volume 5. I just have a small question.....

spoiler (highlight to read):

Did Schwarzwald really die when those missiles got turned around by Big O's hands and destroy Duo?

Piano Black

spoiler (highlight to read):

yes

I just thought id pop in and mention im goign to get the vol 1 manga and the dvd set at the same time from amazon.com later, when I have enough money.

I also notice, on the american cover of vol 6... is that Big Fau? If so: YAYYY!

(Sorry if somethings been said about Big fau and vol 6 before, I havnt been following the thread)

I found one....I accualy found a Big O Graphic novel....Shock of all shocks ! Yeah, I got Volume 5, I tried to see if the bookstore had vol. 1, but they were out (Why me ) and 5 was the only one they had. So I got that one anyway because I just wanted to see how diffrent it was, and it is diffrent. I can't wait to find 1-4 and 6, and read them, because it took me forever just to find this one (Bookstores I frequent don't get them). Also I have the one with Schwarzwald on the side. Don't know why, but he's there....Guess they never changed it....

And I never seen Beck that crazy....that was kind of creepy. And I too think the Little girl one was really good....

Originally posted by R. Umino Speaking of Vol. 5... When Beck is imagining abunch of hookers around him, one girl has her head down in a VERY strange area. Something not suitable for a 'All ages' comic. Did anyone else notice this? Oo

I just now noticed that...I didn't notice it the first time around....right.....okay 0_o .....I guessed that passed by the censors, or they may think that younger kids won't notice it....

Take a look on page 87 of Volume 4. You can see Schwarzwald standing on top of one of the buildings.

Do we have a definate date for volume 6 yet? Viz.com still claims it is a March Release, but some of the Book Store websites say April.

The viz news letter I recieved said the release date is 3/17/2004 but I noticed amazon.com has it listed as April 9, 2004 and books a million just says april so I guess we can just hope for the march release.

Borders said that it came out on the 7th.

And that they have two on order. Hope I can get it, to complete my collection. Plus, I don't know about alot of stuff thats going on with my Japanese copy (I just know the 'basic' idea of whats going on)

I got book 6 today.
I love Big O's triple pistons! Why didn't he use them in the show? They're soooo cool!

spoiler (highlight to read):

Also, I can see why some people were mad about this book. Dorothy dies and doesn't come back...well...I guess she can, but she wouldn't have any memories. Also, I assume Angel died as Beck was kind of asking her to come to hell with him. Although I wasn't sure of that scene. Schwarzwald was awesome. He pretty much saved the day by talking to Roger. The scene where Roger beats up the criminals was awesome too. I could see Respect playing during that part. Also, did anyone else think that the guy who Angel was talking to in Big Fau looked like an early design of Alan?
