Shadow Skill

Manga-paddy

Someone recommended shadow skill to dbz fans and I feel I must warn the world that it is the worst manga I have ever seen! There is no story; it starts off with a scene that feels like it should lead back to at the end but it never does, then there's an intro and two almost completely seperate stories involving the characters. I am also still unsure why many characters refer to Ella herself as shadow skill when it's merely the martial art she uses

Yeah, I think the trailer on the Manga DVDs makes out that it's really acclaimed. I don't go in for fighting anime stuff, not interested, seems a bit too childish! Although it could be argued that the subject matter of a lot of anime stuff is pretty juvenile, of course!!

ah, it's alrigiht..

it's alot better than dbz anyway, that's not too difficult but it should be noted.

I think there's a series as well as that dvd movie that manga released, which would probably explain the lack of.. well.. story in the Ova, if there is a series then that was prob developed there leaving plenty of room for violence, strange magic and ... violence.

It's a very, very, very VERY mindless anime.. but it's fun, and amusing and like I said.. better than dbz.

*powers up*

Why on earth are there so many dbz fans here?

I must resolve this mystery soon, along with my ongoing investigation into the whereabouts of Carmen Sandiago.

Mordeth: I don't know about more entertaing than DBZ, we flicked through a "DBZ:GT" movie at an eirtakumeet a few months back and I have never watched anything so ridiculously terrible.
I assure you, had I been drinking milk, my nostrils would have been buttered.

I used to be on the whole against-Dragon Ball Z bandwagon, judging it by its terrible English dub on the telly and the whole general opposition towards it.

However, I recently started watching the series in its Japanese uncut form, and I have to say that it's much much better than what I had it thought out to be.

Granted, the animation is really showing its age and the sound is a little crusty, but so far the story is keeping me on the edge of my seat. It's better than passable.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

the edge of your seat?

25 minutes of power ups, threats and bull****, 4 minutes of bull****ing about what the bad guys plan might be, 20 seconds of fighting and then a 30 seecond voiceover about "whats coming in the next episode"


if the entire series was condensed to maybe 1/15th it's size, it'd be pretty good.

honru

Ah yeah, it's a fighting anime.

What do you expect?

I haven't seen the entire series, so yeah, it probably gets repetitive. I'm not expecting the deepest anime ever, but honestly, I'm surprised so far.

Tar.Aldarion

20 second fights lol,they last a tad longer
but man did powering up take a while!
'i'm more powerful than anything you can imagine'
now watch as power up for 4 nay 10 episodes
