A Busou Renkin fighter:

No, it's not real. But an interesting effort nonetheless!

Busou Renkin is a manga by Nobuhiro Watsuki, who's the mangaka for Rurouni Kenshin.
Haven't really read the manga though.

I really wish this manga didn't suck. It's got the most godawful character designs and an idiotic, typical story. I'm sort of afraid for Watsuki sometimes, because he was so popular before, but now I fear that he may be incapable of producing another hit.

But, then again, Jump readers still seem to tolerate Black Cat and the tons of completely blank or stick people panels in HunterXHunter these days.

Anyway, this is kinda cool, but at the same time, since most things today are anime-based instead of manga-based AND they're polygons, if by some miracle a game like this was actually produced, and it was for THIS series, I would want to stab my eyes out.

HxH is the ugliest thing ever, but it's also the most inventive shônen in years. The scenario is great, everything goes in unexpected directions, and even though Togashi is the lamest lazy bastard since Hagiwara, at least he has ideas and is able to remember his own scenario.

I'd probably enjoy Bousou Renkin more if Full Metal Alchemist didn't exist.... but since I started watching FMA before reading Bousou Renkin... it just seems like a lame rip-off... even though I'm pretty sure Bousou Renkin came out before FMA. I agree on the bad character designs... Watsuki usually admits to being "inspired" by certain things for his designs, but his Homunculus are just direct rips of the Phalanx from X-men.

I think FMA came before Bousou Renkin actually. I'm not much of a FMA fan, though. I don't quite understand the appeal.

Even if HXH still has decent scenarios, I can never forgive Togashi, who used to be my favorite manga artist, for producing such unforgivably lazy work. In some chapters there are more blank panels as there are panels with actual content. There are hardly ever backgrounds and the art is ALWAYS sloppy. I used to actually enjoy his more "loose" chapters, but this is just unbelievable. I can't believe he's powerful enough to churn this trash out and not get fired.
