- This video is a transformative opinion piece, not a substitute to the original source. My intention is to create discussion and awareness about the author's work. Several panels are slightly altered for accessibility purposes.
Hope you guys like this video. No Gundam this week, but this is the next best thing.
Game shown at the end is Marfusha: Sentinel Girls.
The title is just my opinion.
Final note: I did not count the epilogue in the styles. So there are technically 8, but it feels like a continuation of the 7th.
ah yes the manga gave me the feeling of 50% damage hit to my Wanzer's right arm unit's HP and legs unit's HP that I now move slowly from some dude using a mortar cannon hiding behind a shipping container across the street.
Please stop. You remind me of my ptsd again.
I heard of Front Mission a long time ago in passing I had no idea it was so peak
Votoms mecha looking aah, the roller skates really makes it one
I need to go to bed because I work 12 hours tomorrow but after I am done I will watch this video. I am a huge Front Mission fan and when I heard about the manga, I checked it out and was shocked out how insanely violent it is. I loved it. I can't believe Square Enix even approved this.
It surprised me how the end of the manga is a bit on the supernatural side of things but even that was done splendidly. Easily among one of my favourite mangas of all time
Nice Review.
Its nice to see stories about normal people and not about some teenager with emotional issues and súper piloting Powers.
normal? most of character in this series are psycho at some point
@@oratankwe all adults have done kind of mental illnes. Even if one isnt aware of it.

Well, wars bring the best and worst of humanity.
i read this earlier, my main complaint, besides being a little too gratuitous at times is that it feels very one sided. idk the lore behind front mission, ive never interacted with the franchise before now, but the USN just feels comically evil to the point it just feels uncomfortable and not in a "war is bad" way but more in a "what message is the author trying to send" way. in a way it almost feels like it glorifies war at times by giving the heros glorious last stands and speeches and getting the girl. I feel like if a piece of media doesnt humanize the enemy to a degree it fails at being anti war, especially to the comical degree this manga goes about it. I still thought it was for the most part cool just kinda off putting
like im okay with comically evil orc like factions until its obviously alluding to real life nations. idk if im looking into it too much, it just made me feel weird and i couldnt stop thinking about it
Man I've been just thinking about this manga recently, after looking at the various Front Mission remakes we're getting, yet never had a chance to read it. I had no idea the same artist did Thunderbolt!! And I didn't expect such a glowing review, amazing video and I'll try to find some time to read it because morally grey stories like these are amazing. From what I remember playing the original games, they didn't have the same kind of stories unfortunately, still war stories but clearly not the same tone for sure.
So Else gets forever winter vibes from the manga.
Just from the sense that it also draws from modern warfare dystopia with a spice of future technology. They "fish from the same stream", as Terry Pratchett used to say. If you like this and FW, you might enjoy "Eden: It's an Endless World".
Most likely inspired forever winter
I wish it got the animation treatment like thunderbolt did. I even imported the complete manga set a long time ago. As well as building the square enix kits. Maybe if it gets enough interest it will get adapted
Thanks for covering this. DL&DS was something I picked up at a Japanese used book store back in the oughts and the macabre approach was appealing to me. Though its the remaster that is exposing people this manga.
Glad to see one of my favorite manga get covered! You have fine taste, sir.
Loved Thunderbolt, this looks like a masterpiece.
HOLY SHIT.... I am so glad this video got recommended to me :O.... Gundam Thunderbolt is INCREDIBLY good. Hot damn am I about to read the crap out of this manga, thank you!
This my first time hearing of the manga version of front mission, the art looks amazing so I'll definitely check it out.
My only experience of the front mission games are front mission 4 and 5, which I enjoyed but it's been along time, I've also heard not many liked the remakes, but I haven't played the remakes yet.
The helicopter pilot and his wife are just Io Fleming and Claudia
The last arc is definitely my favorite part of the manga.
You can't hide that Girls' Frontline BGM playing when war is declared from me.
Girls Frontline ost is too good I couldn't help it
I remember showing this manga to my platoon when in the field, I managed to get most of them into manga by doing so.
You got me, going to check this out
I'm glad some of the crudeness vibe of war from this manga carried over to Thunderbolt.
Ngl would love to see more of this universe, maybe some more USN perspective but hey this world is amazing
I love this channel so much.
Wow this was really really dark depressing sad and there's no good involved in it. Which I think is perfect for front mission because I do believe even the series kind of goes into that front although the only recent thing I've heard about the series now is most people didn't like the first remake, a good amount of people didn't like the second remake and from what I'm hearing about the third remake from what people reacted in the trailer's, it's not looking that good. And we don't talk about that 1 not front mission game that was just a metal gear solid rip-off so at least this manga carries the essence of the series and it is good for what it does.
reminds me alot of the Konami 'inspired' game "Left Alive" that tried too hard to be Metal Gear Solid while also being Front Mission (mecha tactical JRPG & all).
was unable to play it since Konami limited its release, then snubbed it from stores around a month later.
as a frontmission 1 player as a child, it was fun to watch this vid
I loved this game series! It’s awesome there is a Manga on this. 😁 I hope it’s good.
I can’t even express how much this is my favorite type of manga/anime with military, modern/near future military, light, Mecha and horror/gore, all combined into one type of show ❤❤
every single panel that doesn't have camera man in them was taken by camera man. Every single panel that does have camera man in them is a selfie
The Sheep herder/Shepard guy and Kogure did feature again in Ohtagaki's Thunderbolt Gundam manga as Bull G pilot and ship captain.
almost impossible to get your hands on a paper version of this series. if you find one in the wild, buy it! it is valuable.
I love front mission and its aesthetic it feels as if the cold war gave birth to mechs instead of nuclear weapons
If anything the manga does right. Is how it shows what exactly sets apart high skill wanzer pilots.
Akagi and Sheepherder is defo clear example of 99 short and 99 melee stat in game with bonus of dodge 99.
Front Mission Doggy Style
Read it a while ago, shit was soo good
The prelude to the forever winter game, the start of the Europan and Eurasia war.
Peak has come to.
Huge fan of the Tactical RPG series qnd the first pqges clearly set the tone of the rest of the manga series. Definitely R-rated or PG-13 at best. But oncr you accept this is gonna be the tone, motherfucker, does that manga series delivers. Highly recommend it to mature audience. It really depicts i 2 or 3 drawings the horrors of war
I'm the opposite with Fruit of Eden and Heroes Cross. FoE was so bad I nearly dropped the whole manga, but HC was so good it made me keep with it. I just hate how he and the girl had this cute father/daughter relationship, just to be all over each-other out of the blue. And then as he's fighting to keep her safe she's getting ravaged by others. Heroes Cross was great for the reasons you said; its a Shakespearean tale with a hint of the supernatural.
As much as I like this manga, it is not the best representation of the games because the games are never this sexual and gory. Serious events happen in the games, but you never see anything as explicit and unhinged as you see in DLDS. You should still play them though.
If you want another great mecha manga like this, read Red Eyes.
On the subject of Fruit of Eden: I interpreted the change that happened in their relationship as a result of her lacking an understanding of healthy relationships. She was raised as essentially an object ever since she was 14. Valued for what she could give others rather than her own autonomy. Her abandonment issues combined with that led to her forcing herself on Akagi so he wouldn't leave her behind.
After that, she fell back into the cycle of her old life. Assuming she was yet again abandoned. It's depressing and honestly could have been terrible. But, I found the unconditional kindness he showed by coming for her even after learning about her past moving.
That being said, valid perspective on your end too. It's definitely weird and uncomfortable. Like a lot of the stuff in the story, but that's part of what I like about it.
Edit: Also I'll probably look into Red Eyes in the future.
Alex and Johnny Story is definitely the best and the worst as the Same time.
Loved FM 4
This is literally what’s going on with Ukraine and Russia. These random people, in the comfort of their own home. upload drone footage with absolutely no remorse.
Dog style 😅
OCU Philippines
I wanted to love the Manga but it was so unhinged and bewildering and departs so heavily from the games. And there MIGHT BE MAGIC? What the fu--
Seriously. This reporter guy throughout the series seems to be instigating everything and then just vanishes from an interrogation room at the end.
Oh, and the gratuitous levels of rape going on. Like, I got no problem if series wanna throw that in but it just seems weirdly placed in Front Mission. I've played all the games. A lot less rape happens in them than in this manga.
It's pretyt much dark gritty war matieral fitting a african brush fire war than something between super nations in the information age. But art imitates reality as they say.
@@patrickflying17 It can in some cases.
It's just strange to see it applied to what amounts to modern "Western" forces.
Not to say the US or Canada or Japan or Australia don't have the capacity to do awful things but normally not to this extent and not this overtly. Not this cartoonish.
camera man anime
Is this korean?
Your comment about the Iraq war was really out of touch and flat out stupid.
War journalism is extremly important to show what is really happening and to show all the war crimes. You are saying let war criminals get away with it.
Liveleaks and RUclips back in the day are very different from war journalism. People legitimately would watch videos of people dying purely for fun during the Iraq War. Keeping war criminals accountable is obviously super important but many people who would take these gruesome videos were amateurs who just wanted attention, fame, and to sensationalize the horrors of war. Once again professional war journalists do great things but they are very different from Inazuka who is clearly doing this not to keep war criminals accountable but to sensationalize it.
" _He went on to make Gundam Thunderbolt_ "
THAT PIECE OF SHIT? Ain't winning any points with me..
I downloaded this manga ages ago but I got so bored thanks to the rape scene and the blatant disregard for any kind of civility. Been meanng to check it out again at some point but... I'm just not interested in such extreme views.
04:20 - The start of the Second Huffman Conflict I believe. Inb4 Battel of Freedom City by the Black Dogs and Hell's Wall.
7:22 - Frederick would twist in his wanzer at his failure of reporting, lol.
10:15 - Yeah this is what I'm talking about. It's all doom & gloom and rape and pillage which IS NOT HOW FRONT MISSION IS. Sure Front Mission is dark but this manga is just saying that war will make monsters of all 100%. Just like Thunderbolt. You're either someone who hates war and just want to run on the beach, or you're a sociopath. What a dull storyteller.
14:17 - And there the canon of Front Mission juts took it up it's rear chips. There's no such thing in Front Mission. This is STUPID.
This video reminds me why I don't find it interesting. It's just shit.
So... a standalone story doesn't mesh with your obscure game. Therefore, it's shit?
Whos from ASEAN here! O.C.U Gang Rise Up!!!
Drawn by Otagaki? Then enjoy the goreness of the reality, I've learned enough from Thunderbolt😂
