Full metal alchemist is my pick as best story I’ve read. One piece is my favorite but fullmetal is just perfect in my eyes, I can’t really find flaws in it tbh
I think that Fullmetal Alchemist is one of the few stories that has something for everyone to enjoy and it also has a near-flawless adaptation. You should definitely read AND watch it.
@@aidenwithani Brotherhood follows the manga OG does not. Both are good. I think that she was still writing it when OG came out and she didn't want them to follow the manga. Once it was finished they redid it (Brotherhood) to follow the manga. They used the same voice actors for both.
I'll put a vote up for Monster. I still cant believe how massive the scope of the story is while still being consistently thrilling. Its also one of the tightest stories ever made imo. There are like, no loose ends when it comes to plotlines or characters, its masterful.
One Punch Man. It's everything you think it is. At the same time as being a parody it manages to become an amazing character story and hero action manga. Also the art is incredible.
It wasn't in your collection but I think Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue would be a great series for you to review. In my opinion it's one of a few manga that could never be properly adapted into anime based on how well Inoue used the medium to tell the story. Although it's unfinished it's still absolutely worth a read
Definitely review Full Metal Alchemist, an astounding collection as well to see you read stories like Haikyuu or Slam Dunk, Yu Gi Oh, Mob Psycho, Blue Exorcist, I can’t decide so many good options!

The pokemon manga drew me back into the series and I couldn't put it down till many volumes deep, such a fun and solid story there but Haikyuu deserves a read from anyone who treasures storytelling. The character writing is so incredibly strong and the messages it sends its audience are absolutely beautiful and life changing. Haikyuu gets my vote :)
@@Android_17_ It's way better, for one it has a rotating cast like the games, it doesn't just follow one singular protagonist like Jojo or Yugioh where once one region has been covered they move on to the characters and setting from the next game. Like the first generation has Red and then the second arc follows an original story starring a character named Yellow, then Gen 2 where Ethan, named Gold since this was before he had an official name was the protag. Gen 3 has split protagonist duties between Brendan and May, one following the gym challenge and the other following contests, named Ruby and Sapphire because at this point they decided to stick to the game titles instead of using their official names for some reason. Gen 4 has Dawn as the protagonist and i like the version of her in this manga more than the anime version, she's a rich kid who's seeing the world outside her family estate for the first time on her pokemon journey and it's really charming seeing her interact with the others in her group (Lucas and Barry.) And its a funny misunderstanding because she assumes that they are bodyguards hired by her dad to protect her while she travels Sinnoh while they assume she was hired to be a tour guide traveling with them across Sinnoh as part of some contest. All the actual bodyguards spend like half the story of some misadventures trying to find Dawn. And from there i haven't read beyond it, i havent read Gen 5 yet but ive seen bits and pieces ahead and it seems neat.
Thank you for including your non-fiction reference materials on drawing and story. I've always admired how you cite those books in your review-type videos, as if it's a research paper in video format.
Would LOVE to see you cover Fullmetal Alchemist, a stunning story that gives almost every character (even the ones that seem minor) the attention they deserve. I also think it's incredibly well paced and ended at the perfect moment.
Haikyuu is a manga you wouldn't except to fall in love, with all it's characters and lessons you go through. I would love to relive the series through your review of this manga.
Out of all the ones in his collection the one I'd probably be most excited for Mark to cover would probably be Pokémon Adventures, since it's a spin-off of Pokémon that doesn't nearly get enough attention despite running nearly as long. I also hope that if he does review it he goes over more than the first couple of arcs, since in the rare times it is mentioned, it is almost only the Kanto stuff. ... And although it's not a manga currently featured in his collection I'd really like to see Mark one day look at Black Clover. A new-gen Shonen manga that while initially receiving a negative reception, has overtime won more and more people over, to the point that its anime was the No.1 most frequently watched on Crunchyroll (in terms of overall around the world). In essence it's probably the Shonen manga equivalent of a Shonen story funnily enough. Aside from seeing him talk about this story and giving it more spotlight (since despite its successes it has been heavily dwarfed by similar Shonen Jump manga such as My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer), I also think Mark's experience reviewing manga (especially Shonen Jump), would provide insight into what many consider one of Black Clover's issues - it's "unoriginality". Considering that Mark has reviewed many series that people say Black Clover "rips off" such as: Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach, and Berserk. I think his opinions on the series in this regard on whether it is building off of, or simply recycling familiar assets would be interesting to hear about. Of course, the story isn't finished yet (although it is in its final arc), so he wouldn't be able to review it right now. And considering many other series seem much more popular or at least outspoken than this one, it seems unlikely he'll cover it at all. But I figure I might as well shoot my shot since I doubt there'll be a better time to do so.
I would love to see a Pokemon Adventures review. And yes, the story is more similar to the games than the anime, but it's still hardly comparable. The manga is really it's own thing.
I HIGHLY reccomend Full Metal Alchemist. Not only for my own nostalgia, as FMA was the first manga I ever collected back in highschool, but there is a reason it has its prestige. It's easily one of the most legendary series I have ever seen. Also, the original anime you mentioned covers about half the manga then goes off the rails with a completely original story. The other series, FMA Brotherhood, follows the manga more closely

Out of all of these series I would love to see you review Jujutsu Kaisen. This series takes heavy inspiration from the greats, Bleach, Dragon Ball, Naruto, etc. and it culminates in a series that starts out with incredible fights and a cool power system, but slowly transitions into a heavy character focused story dealing with really dark emotions at times. I 100% recommend it volume 17 has one of the best character moments I've seen in all of Shonen. Genuinely just love this series
Having recently finished FMAB, I'd love to see your thoughts on it after you mentioned it on twitter! I found the story extremely engaging and the ending was near perfect. Furthermore, I enjoyed this more unscripted type of video!
Gachiakuta is a new dark fantasy manga by Kei Urana who worked under the creator of Soul Eater and Fire Force - Atsushi Ohkubo who actually passed the torch onto them following their retirement. It's an amazing series so far; like a more gritty version of Soul Eater and Fire Force and I can't get enough of it. I'm only 12 chapters in and its already a 10/10. I'm predicting it's gonna be the next big anime once it gets an adaptation (or at least it should). Can't recommend it enough.
I know he doesn’t have this in his collection but I highly recommend Golden Kamuy, I feel like he’d like the story as well as the different tidbits of Aniu culture sprinkled throughout the pages and volumes
I would love to see reviews for Fullmetal Alchemist, they say it is the best overall manga because it has something for everyone to enjoy and the story is really solid. I hope you give it a try!
With a second seasons already about to release, and a narrative focused youtube analysis trend, Vinland Saga is a perfect choice right now. Definitely one of the big 3 of Seinen.
Surprised at how many Manga you own and have not read yet! Personally, I would love to see you give Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood the love it deserves! I was one of the guys that wouldn't stop requesting Chainsaw Man until you got round to it, but FMA Brotherhood has and always will be a masterpiece in my opinion. Seeing your perspective and narrative analysis of it would be an amazing Christmas present to say the least
Holy shit mark you’ve gotta watch Fullmetal alchemist and reading it is just as good. That was the anime that made the biggest impact on me with all the talk of religion, government, and being a decent human being. 10/10 for me and I hope you can make the time for it one day.
The full series reviews that I'm most anticipating are: 1. Fullmetal Alchemist 2. Monster 3. Mob Psycho 100 4. Jujutsu Kaisen 5. Chainsaw Man 6. My Hero Academia 7. Assassination Classroom Spy x Family and Haikyu are also really good, but I feel like they would be better as shorter reviews since while they handle their concepts very well, their concepts are still quite simple imo. I prefer your much more in-depth reviews, and I think it would be pretty difficult for you to go in-depth into either story. They are among my favorites, but I'm not dying to see a review about them. Monster and Fullmetal on the other hand I am dying for. Demon Slayer is also really good, but I think just about everyone agrees that the anime is better, so if you did do a review on it I think you would have to review the anime alongside it and compare it to the manga, which I think would be pretty interesting!
Wow Mark, you have an amazing collection on your hands! I would heavily recommend Fullmetal Alchemist, Monster, and Jujutsu Kaisen, as they are some of my favorite manga of all time!
Do full metal alchemist please. I have been watching you forever and FMA is not only my favorite anime and favorite manga, but it is also my favorite work of fiction of all time. The world, the characters, the plot, the underlying meanings, the art, and pages pull me in every time I read it or watch it. It is how I get others into Manga and anime. It's what pushes me to continue on in life when it gets hard. It's a masterpiece.
As much as I’d love to see Mark react to the weirdness that Pokemon Adventures is. I think he’d like Full Metal Alchemist and it’d be easier for Editor-San to edit into another amazing video. Regardless, I’m excited for what’s next
Someone in another comment suggested using footage from the games to review Pokemon Adventures. I think that is a brilliant idea, but we'll see if TNM wants to do something like that whenever he gets to this series. Seems like a lot of people are requesting FMA and Pokemon Adventures so these will probably be his next two.
Really impressive collection you have there! I would love a review on Bakuman. That meta-series had such a great underlying story without focusing on huge world-ending conflicts or fantastical elements. I get your fear of not riding the hype train for reviews. Honestly, I would watch any review you put out, your energy and passion just seep through.
Haikyuu is something that took me 3 tries to read, and now it's one of my favorites of all time. I would LOVE to see you cover this series, blind or not
I tried to read but it's doesn't feel good as watching anime cause animes ost, voice, animation just make 100times amazing than manga so I'm still watching for season 5 or movie whatever they release
@@mello2238 the motion and intensity of the matches in the haikyuu manga are unrivaled to me. I tried to watch some of thr anime but it did not hit those highs that the manga does
@@peterb7189 well, everyone has different test but I like more watching than reading. Probably it's also because I read in my mobile, if I read in books than probably my experience change but for now anime is unrivaled to me.
I would love a oyasumi punpun review, it's one of my favorite manga of all the time and can confirm is a very depressing story (I love how real Inio Asano writes characters), there's no better horror than real life after all hahaha
We need to unite and upvote every PunPun comment ! There's enough of us to have our voice heard. It would be a shame to let Mark make it a short halloween video out of it, it deserves better.
I dig your collection of mangas. One that I would personally advise getting into would be D. Gray-Man. I advise it to anyone who has seen or read Demon Slayer. DGM was originally published years before and is still ongoing. I have personally not finished the series to this point as of yet but the art style is very cool and I love the plot lines of demon hunting and the unique weapons each exorcist holds and the abilities they hold. I feel like the anime has a bit too much filler but the gritty atmosphere is just fascinating in my opinion. I have heard through associates who also enjoy the series that it gets very deep
Full Metal Alchemist deserves a review 100%. The Pokemon manga is also a wild ride. I highly recommend even if you just read it for fun, honestly. It doesn't follow the anime aside from maybe the first chapter overlapping some, but otherwise it's its own entity entirely and it's great!
One Punch Man seems like an excellent series for a review. The characters and ideas that the series develops are on another level and I think that your review style would work wonderfully with it. I really love the way you focus on characters and particular emotions that a series brings to the table and One Punch Man is so full of material that makes you feel and think that it would make an amazing series for you to review in my opinion. And there was a third season anounced recently for the anime so a review probably would do well in the channel. Hi from Portugal!
ONE PPAAAAAAAAWWWCCHH!!!! The story is great, the characters are golden, and Yusuke Murata pours so much love and respect into telling the tale that ONE blessed us with! Season 3 will be upon us soon! So I urge you, please review this fantastic manga adaptation of the webseries.
MHA, I'd love to hear your opinions on it. I've only just gotten into the series in the last month or so and it captivated me so much that I caught up to current anime and manga(I had a lot of free time at work haha)
Recently rewatched season 1 of One Punch Man and read everything after it, it was probably some of the most fun I've ever had going through a series and it probably has some of the best art I've ever seen in any manga ever. Definitely recommend reviewing it
Definitely casting my vote for reviewing both the FMA manga *and* the anime! Maybe even the '03 anime as well since it kinda went off to do its own thing but not in a bad way.
I will love to see a Mob Psycho 100 review. With the Anime currently airing, interest on the series will be high. Plus its humble beginning as a web comic makes me want to really see Marks analysis on the penship and structure of the panels.
Wow, what an insane collection. There are SO many good series in your collection to pick from (Jujutsu Kaisen, Monster, 20th Century Boys, One Punch Man, etc.) but you need to review Full Metal Alchemist. there’s no words to describe how amazing that story is
The series called "DoroHeDoro." This is a series that is pure madness and chaos. Its themes are crazy, the world is intense and immense and the characters are probably the most memorable I've ever read in a manga to date from start to finish. I truly hope to see a review on this Manga just to let people know that a master piece is out there that needs to be seen in top 10 manga of all time. I highly recommend it.
We want to hear about what you want to read, Mark. I understand the strategy of posting about topics popular culture is into right now. But I also want to encourage you-don’t be afraid to pursue stories that YOU are interested in (Bakuman, Pluto, et al). Because, more than anything, it’s your unique insights we come to this channel for. Hope you’re having a wonderful day ❤
I was going to say Pokemon Adventures as a joke, but then you pulled them out HOLY SHIT! Mark, do it. Satoshi Tajiri (creator of pokemon) says it's the closet thing to his vision of the game. While not overly complex, plot wise, it follows the games with some nice twists and turns. Really easy and fun read.
Magi and Beelzebub are two old but underrated manga that I felt never got the recognition they deserved, would be nice if some of the more underappreciated manga got some spotlight.
I would love to see a Yu-Gi-Oh review. Currently collecting the omnibus's myself, the early stuff is fantastic, and the card stuff is way more digestible in this medium imo. RIP Kazuki Takahashi.
Fullmetal Alchemist would be an amazing review. It's already considered one of the best anime of this century, your perspective on the manga would be really interesting. If you want to try something different, Oshi no Ko has a really particular take on the idol industry, taking a fun concept and diving into the darkest part of it.
Pokemon adventures would be sooo interesting to see covered, it's pretty surprising how in depth it can go. There's currently 15 arcs of varying lengths (1 for each main game, it looks like you have up to halfway through FRLG right now) but they all offer something different in each one with the protagonists goals and personalities being unique from each one before them. It's always cool to see exactly how the author adds his own spin on things since it's much more character driven, especially since he really settles into the continuous storytelling after the first few arcs. Battle wise the action is very much about making use of Pokémon's unique biology from the pokedex and interactions with the environment to use as a strategy alongside the trainer's own physical participation. Which makes things much more engaging for a manga imo.
Full Metal Alchemist is an ABSOLUTE must for you to read, Mark. It is absolutely brilliant! And the Brotherhood anime is by far the most faithful adaptation of a manga I have ever read. A treat from start to finish
Not 100% perfect, I’m still a bit ticked off at how they handled my fav volume (10) they cut stuff from it for time, yet chose to have a filler episode follow it, are you kidding me!?
Jujutsu Kaisen is incredible but ongoing, so reviews will have to go on pause for a bit. Fullmetal is finished and divides nicely into three or four parts it's quite wonderful
Hey Mark, I would REALLY love a Review of Monster. It is one of my favorite Stories of all time and the writing of the Characters is just astonishingly good. I already watched a lot of your reviews and I just know that you'd love to analyse in depth the meaning and psychology behind this masterpiece.
I believe that goodnight punpun would be life-changing for you, the same way it was for me. It's an amazingly well written story that puts ones life into perspective. I really cannot recommend it enough. Being vage for the sake to not give too much away. (p.s. Yes, depression should be expected after reading)
Pokémon Adventures (aka PokéSpe) is a really good adaptation of the Pokémon world--really fun, good story and a lot of good and GREAT characters. I would like to see a review from you to see if you like it or not, and if you didn't play the games, it would be even more interesting, in my opinion.
Thanks for the insight into your collection Mark! If I could give a top 5 series I think you should review in your collection, it would be: 1.Demon Slayer - The manga is done and the anime is ongoing, so it's in the same vein as Bleach right now but shorter. I'd definitely like to see your thoughts on the anime vs the manga material. 2.My Hero Academia - the series is supposedly in its final arc, and the anime is in one of the best, if not the best arc atm. (I also feel like you'd really like the Vigilantes prequel story and it could make for a good comparison video if that ever receives an anime) 3.Spy x Family - Massive Shonen Jump title, and it's an ongoing manga. The potential for this series is high. 4. Jujutsu Kaisen - Similar thoughts as Spy x Family. 5. Mob Psycho 100 - The anime's final season is airing. I don't think there wouldn't be a better time to cover it in the next few months if you could.But you also probably have other things in the pipeline so just a thought. If I could give thoughts on personal favorites on stuff you haven't covered: 1. Full Metal Alchemist 2. Bakuman 3. Spy x Family 4. My Hero Academia 5. Assassination Classroom
Read Monster, it has the best villain in anime/manga and the relationships are so good. Watching the story of Johan and Tenma is really great. It's such a good story.
So I know the purpose of the video was for us to help you choose a series of the ones you have around that you haven't gotten to yet, and of those I would back Full Metal Alchemist I think you will have a great time with it. HOWEVER, I will also throw in Fairy Tail as something for you to check out. It's got a lot of heart and fun mixed in with its action and story akin with One Piece and Dragon Ball. It also has it's sequel series "Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest" coming out in anime format soon so that helps with topic engagement. Just throwing my favorite magic adventure out there. Keep up the good work Mark.
I would highly recommend reviewing one of Urasawa's works. Especially Monster if you can. It's a masterpiece and needs more coverage. There's gaps in the market for these works on RUclips
SLAM DUNK by Takehiko Inoue from 1990 to 1967. An iconic series, it is a master class in terms of panel flow. Its influences can be even feel through out today's mangaka paneling. Hikaru no Go, illustrated by Takeshi Obata, written by Yumi Hotta, run from 1999 to 2003. One of the best character development you will read, and each characters will get a pretty satisfying character ending.
I was actually surprised to see that you didn’t have any volumes of Toriko, I feel that it’s a great subversion of kick-fight shonen stories, and I feel that someone like you covering it may help kick it back into the mainstream, it was done dirty with a bad anime, but the manga offered so much creativity in ways you just don’t see in fighting manga OR food manga, it is a great manga that I feel should get the praise it deserves
As someone with a massive manga collection as well I feel your pain on out of print or even trying to find copies of works that are old… trust me I adore my collections and will finish everything! Love your collection fellow manga lover!! ❤
I think you’d have a really great time with the thematic writing in JJK! It’s a very grey world that makes for a lot of unique character motivations to analyze.
My Hero Academia is my personal favorite anime ATM so I'd love to see you do a review of it at some point, but I think the thing I'd like to see a review of the most is Full Metal Alchemist. Based on what I know about your tastes I think you'd really enjoy it and I think it's one of the only shows I've seen where there wasn't a single major character I didn't like to some extent.
i absolutely love bakuman, and would adore to hear your take on the story. you're completely right about it not being in the cultural sphere, so if you ever do a review of it, then it'd probably be best to wait until one of the slower months for revenue? january/february time? i'm certain that FMA will beat out any other suggestion, but im holding out hope lol.
I'd say best option for Bakugan would be something new from the authors but I think the last thing like this was the anime adaptation of that one terrible manga about angels?
The Urasawa novels are some of the greatest character manga I have ever read, and I truly believe it would be a service to the world if you could them to other people who may not have experienced them. If you do I would appreciate if you did Pluto first as it is the shortest of the three and all my personal favourite.
Fullmetal Alchemist is a good one for a Review. But i'm sad to hear that Gintama has no official licensed release. I definitely suggest you to watch the anime. It's a must watch because It only improves its source material. It's the same thing with Demon Slayer. The anime is what gave the series its legendary status.
I'd definitely recommend Oyasumi Punpun (Goodnight Punpun), it's one of the few works I'd say genuinely changed my life, a sobering reminder of how cruel and harsh can be, and how just let yourself getting drag along by it can end in tragedy....
So, I live in Kyoto, roughly a 10 minute walk from the trainstation, however keep on walking in the same direction and you will come to the manga museum. It's an entire old school that has been converted into a...museum/library - they have pretty much everything from the first mangas ever produced over 100 years ago to the most recent One Piece book...in like 20 different languages. And here's the kicker - you are encouraged to read them. You can even go outside and sit in the café or on the lawn and read them. It's shelves upon shelves. Aisles upon aisles. Floors upon floors. If you ever want to go there, we have a guestroom you can stay in.
I forgot to give my actual suggestion in the last post: Parasyte. 100% Parasyte, holy shit. Another of my favorite manga of all time and IMO a good change of pace from the shonen action stuff you've been reviewing lately. It's also an interesting case study of how a manga can be updated to take place in a later time period (like the anime did) and still work just as well OR BETTER.
Currently reading Berserk and I am absolutely loving it. Just finished the Lost Children chapter and I have been watching your reviews they have been awesome. Allowing me to see things I didn’t notice upon my first reading.
I hope there are more polls in future because there are tons of amazing ones on there, however for now I place 100 votes on FMA Also, I would like to add Yotsuba to the list, its the cure for depression, sort of anti Oyasumi Punpun
Full metal alchemist brotherhood was the first, and only show to ever make me cry with the ending. Mark you don’t have to review it, but please watch or read brotherhood.
You’ll fall in love with Full Metal Alchemist, if you haven’t already. Trust us Mark, the love for the series is well deserved
Agree 100% needs to be the next one to check out
Was my first introduction to the world of anime/manga (besides DragonBall) and I was HOOKED.
Absolutely a must watch
Yes please
Full metal alchemist is my pick as best story I’ve read. One piece is my favorite but fullmetal is just perfect in my eyes, I can’t really find flaws in it tbh
I think that Fullmetal Alchemist is one of the few stories that has something for everyone to enjoy and it also has a near-flawless adaptation. You should definitely read AND watch it.
I've been meaning to watch it, and I will eventually.
Which one is the flawless one? OG or Brotherhood? Sorry if I sound stupid 😅
hard super agree. FMA is one of the greats
@@aidenwithani neither lol watch one piece instead
@@aidenwithani Brotherhood goes through the whole story, but the OG fleshes out the early parts really well. Both are really fun in their own way.
@@aidenwithani Brotherhood follows the manga OG does not. Both are good. I think that she was still writing it when OG came out and she didn't want them to follow the manga. Once it was finished they redid it (Brotherhood) to follow the manga. They used the same voice actors for both.
I'll put a vote up for Monster. I still cant believe how massive the scope of the story is while still being consistently thrilling. Its also one of the tightest stories ever made imo. There are like, no loose ends when it comes to plotlines or characters, its masterful.
I second this.
You just recommended my favorite anime, so yes
Definitely
Monster is fantastic
One of my favourite works of fiction. I really hope some channel with large audience give it more buzz and traction.
I firmly believe that Naoki Urasawa's stories are one of a kind and that reviewing it would be a good idea
seconded
People do this all the time on the internet
I really like this chill "sit down with Mark" vibe. 40 mins flew by
yes! was relaxing as heck!
Same. I wished he made more :)
One piece, if you haven't already, it's amazing
One Punch Man. It's everything you think it is. At the same time as being a parody it manages to become an amazing character story and hero action manga. Also the art is incredible.
I'd really like to hear someone talk more about the art and composition on a technical level. I think that might be really interesting.
The pokemon adventures manga is fantastic. It is an anthology with a lot of characters crossing over, especially in the earlier series.
Yes please have him read It!
Like I said in a different video KID FRIENDLY JOJO.
It wasn't in your collection but I think Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue would be a great series for you to review. In my opinion it's one of a few manga that could never be properly adapted into anime based on how well Inoue used the medium to tell the story. Although it's unfinished it's still absolutely worth a read
Sadly it hasn't even been updated since 2015, too
Definitely review Full Metal Alchemist, an astounding collection as well to see you read stories like Haikyuu or Slam Dunk, Yu Gi Oh, Mob Psycho, Blue Exorcist, I can’t decide so many good options!
I quit FMA after episode 4, if you know you know

Fullmetal Alchemist is a must-read. It was the first modern-day anime that I saw on TV. It got me to keep up with anime regularly.
The pokemon manga drew me back into the series and I couldn't put it down till many volumes deep, such a fun and solid story there but Haikyuu deserves a read from anyone who treasures storytelling. The character writing is so incredibly strong and the messages it sends its audience are absolutely beautiful and life changing. Haikyuu gets my vote :)
Is better than the anime? I dropped it during s3.
@@Android_17_ It's way better, for one it has a rotating cast like the games, it doesn't just follow one singular protagonist like Jojo or Yugioh where once one region has been covered they move on to the characters and setting from the next game.
Like the first generation has Red and then the second arc follows an original story starring a character named Yellow, then Gen 2 where Ethan, named Gold since this was before he had an official name was the protag.
Gen 3 has split protagonist duties between Brendan and May, one following the gym challenge and the other following contests, named Ruby and Sapphire because at this point they decided to stick to the game titles instead of using their official names for some reason.
Gen 4 has Dawn as the protagonist and i like the version of her in this manga more than the anime version, she's a rich kid who's seeing the world outside her family estate for the first time on her pokemon journey and it's really charming seeing her interact with the others in her group (Lucas and Barry.) And its a funny misunderstanding because she assumes that they are bodyguards hired by her dad to protect her while she travels Sinnoh while they assume she was hired to be a tour guide traveling with them across Sinnoh as part of some contest. All the actual bodyguards spend like half the story of some misadventures trying to find Dawn.
And from there i haven't read beyond it, i havent read Gen 5 yet but ive seen bits and pieces ahead and it seems neat.
If Mark looks at the Pokemon Manga he doesn't need the Anime he can use game footage and get creative
and the Pokemon Generations/Evolutions anime they've been putting out on RUclips
Thank you for including your non-fiction reference materials on drawing and story. I've always admired how you cite those books in your review-type videos, as if it's a research paper in video format.
FullMetal alchemist would be AWESOME to see you review! My personal favorite and definitely a lot to talk about!
Would LOVE to see you cover Fullmetal Alchemist, a stunning story that gives almost every character (even the ones that seem minor) the attention they deserve.
I also think it's incredibly well paced and ended at the perfect moment.
Haikyuu is a manga you wouldn't except to fall in love, with all it's characters and lessons you go through. I would love to relive the series through your review of this manga.
Out of all the ones in his collection the one I'd probably be most excited for Mark to cover would probably be Pokémon Adventures, since it's a spin-off of Pokémon that doesn't nearly get enough attention despite running nearly as long. I also hope that if he does review it he goes over more than the first couple of arcs, since in the rare times it is mentioned, it is almost only the Kanto stuff.
...
And although it's not a manga currently featured in his collection I'd really like to see Mark one day look at Black Clover.
A new-gen Shonen manga that while initially receiving a negative reception, has overtime won more and more people over, to the point that its anime was the No.1 most frequently watched on Crunchyroll (in terms of overall around the world). In essence it's probably the Shonen manga equivalent of a Shonen story funnily enough.
Aside from seeing him talk about this story and giving it more spotlight (since despite its successes it has been heavily dwarfed by similar Shonen Jump manga such as My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer), I also think Mark's experience reviewing manga (especially Shonen Jump), would provide insight into what many consider one of Black Clover's issues - it's "unoriginality".
Considering that Mark has reviewed many series that people say Black Clover "rips off" such as: Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach, and Berserk. I think his opinions on the series in this regard on whether it is building off of, or simply recycling familiar assets would be interesting to hear about.
Of course, the story isn't finished yet (although it is in its final arc), so he wouldn't be able to review it right now. And considering many other series seem much more popular or at least outspoken than this one, it seems unlikely he'll cover it at all. But I figure I might as well shoot my shot since I doubt there'll be a better time to do so.
Whenever people say "rip-off" unironically, I know not to take them seriously. Most of the time atleast
I would love to see a Pokemon Adventures review.
And yes, the story is more similar to the games than the anime, but it's still hardly comparable. The manga is really it's own thing.
Peak Pokemon fr
That was my first manga experience period as a child. I’ll never forget it :’)
@@mr.regular589 Yep, same here. And coincidentally, I'm actually re-reading the series right now XD
@@mowfus96 Enjoy going through memory lane :D
Bump, Pokespe is peak pokemon
Full metal alchemist is up there as my favorite stories of all time. Absolute masterpiece. Could not recommend more.
Honestly Blue Exorcist is really good. The manga has so much depth to the characters.
I HIGHLY reccomend Full Metal Alchemist. Not only for my own nostalgia, as FMA was the first manga I ever collected back in highschool, but there is a reason it has its prestige. It's easily one of the most legendary series I have ever seen. Also, the original anime you mentioned covers about half the manga then goes off the rails with a completely original story. The other series, FMA Brotherhood, follows the manga more closely

Out of all of these series I would love to see you review Jujutsu Kaisen. This series takes heavy inspiration from the greats, Bleach, Dragon Ball, Naruto, etc. and it culminates in a series that starts out with incredible fights and a cool power system, but slowly transitions into a heavy character focused story dealing with really dark emotions at times. I 100% recommend it volume 17 has one of the best character moments I've seen in all of Shonen. Genuinely just love this series
My vote definitely goes to Fullmetal Alchemist. Such a finely crafted narrative.
HAHAHAHA
Honestly a proper review of My Hero Academia would be sick.
Runnerups being FMA and Pokémon Adventures.
Having recently finished FMAB, I'd love to see your thoughts on it after you mentioned it on twitter! I found the story extremely engaging and the ending was near perfect.
Furthermore, I enjoyed this more unscripted type of video!
YU-GI-OH!!! That gets my vote! It’s a huge part of my childhood and it’s be awesome to see you talk about it! Hope you eventually review it soon!
Yugiohs a really fun one, especially if all you know is the 4kids dub
Hell yes! We don't see people looking at this one And it is a big shame
My vote too man, I love Yu-Gi-Oh! I hope he reviews Darkside of dimensions too
Gachiakuta is a new dark fantasy manga by Kei Urana who worked under the creator of Soul Eater and Fire Force - Atsushi Ohkubo who actually passed the torch onto them following their retirement. It's an amazing series so far; like a more gritty version of Soul Eater and Fire Force and I can't get enough of it. I'm only 12 chapters in and its already a 10/10. I'm predicting it's gonna be the next big anime once it gets an adaptation (or at least it should). Can't recommend it enough.
I know he doesn’t have this in his collection but I highly recommend Golden Kamuy, I feel like he’d like the story as well as the different tidbits of Aniu culture sprinkled throughout the pages and volumes
second!
It, Vinland Saga, and Gantz would be the 3 I would want to see him look at the most seeing as he has been stepping out of shonen more.
@@TheKnizzine I agree fully with those picks
I would love to see reviews for Fullmetal Alchemist, they say it is the best overall manga because it has something for everyone to enjoy and the story is really solid. I hope you give it a try!
With a second seasons already about to release, and a narrative focused youtube analysis trend, Vinland Saga is a perfect choice right now. Definitely one of the big 3 of Seinen.
Yup
Was Vineland saga in the video.
Surprised at how many Manga you own and have not read yet!
Personally, I would love to see you give Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood the love it deserves!
I was one of the guys that wouldn't stop requesting Chainsaw Man until you got round to it, but FMA Brotherhood has and always will be a masterpiece in my opinion.
Seeing your perspective and narrative analysis of it would be an amazing Christmas present to say the least
Right? Seems like he didn't read half of his manga titles
@@filipk02he probably will when he thinks about it
Holy shit mark you’ve gotta watch Fullmetal alchemist and reading it is just as good. That was the anime that made the biggest impact on me with all the talk of religion, government, and being a decent human being. 10/10 for me and I hope you can make the time for it one day.
The full series reviews that I'm most anticipating are:
1. Fullmetal Alchemist
2. Monster
3. Mob Psycho 100
4. Jujutsu Kaisen
5. Chainsaw Man
6. My Hero Academia
7. Assassination Classroom
Spy x Family and Haikyu are also really good, but I feel like they would be better as shorter reviews since while they handle their concepts very well, their concepts are still quite simple imo. I prefer your much more in-depth reviews, and I think it would be pretty difficult for you to go in-depth into either story. They are among my favorites, but I'm not dying to see a review about them. Monster and Fullmetal on the other hand I am dying for. Demon Slayer is also really good, but I think just about everyone agrees that the anime is better, so if you did do a review on it I think you would have to review the anime alongside it and compare it to the manga, which I think would be pretty interesting!
He already made a full review of Chainsaw Man
Wow Mark, you have an amazing collection on your hands! I would heavily recommend Fullmetal Alchemist, Monster, and Jujutsu Kaisen, as they are some of my favorite manga of all time!
You can actually see the shift from day to night from Mark's window
It just shows how dedicated he is to making videos
I would really love to see your review on Punpun! It's a pretty "disgustingly realistic" story with a very solid cast and my personal favorite story
Yes ! More people need to vote for Punpun !
If 20CB wasn't on the table I would have advocated for Punpun 100%
Do full metal alchemist please. I have been watching you forever and FMA is not only my favorite anime and favorite manga, but it is also my favorite work of fiction of all time. The world, the characters, the plot, the underlying meanings, the art, and pages pull me in every time I read it or watch it. It is how I get others into Manga and anime. It's what pushes me to continue on in life when it gets hard. It's a masterpiece.
As much as I’d love to see Mark react to the weirdness that Pokemon Adventures is. I think he’d like Full Metal Alchemist and it’d be easier for Editor-San to edit into another amazing video. Regardless, I’m excited for what’s next
Read Jujutsu Kaisen I promise it’s so good
Someone in another comment suggested using footage from the games to review Pokemon Adventures. I think that is a brilliant idea, but we'll see if TNM wants to do something like that whenever he gets to this series. Seems like a lot of people are requesting FMA and Pokemon Adventures so these will probably be his next two.
Really impressive collection you have there! I would love a review on Bakuman. That meta-series had such a great underlying story without focusing on huge world-ending conflicts or fantastical elements.
I get your fear of not riding the hype train for reviews. Honestly, I would watch any review you put out, your energy and passion just seep through.
Haikyuu is something that took me 3 tries to read, and now it's one of my favorites of all time. I would LOVE to see you cover this series, blind or not
I agree, would love to see him read haikyuu!
I tried to read but it's doesn't feel good as watching anime cause animes ost, voice, animation just make 100times amazing than manga so I'm still watching for season 5 or movie whatever they release
@@mello2238 the motion and intensity of the matches in the haikyuu manga are unrivaled to me. I tried to watch some of thr anime but it did not hit those highs that the manga does
@@peterb7189 well, everyone has different test but I like more watching than reading. Probably it's also because I read in my mobile, if I read in books than probably my experience change but for now anime is unrivaled to me.
I would love a oyasumi punpun review, it's one of my favorite manga of all the time and can confirm is a very depressing story (I love how real Inio Asano writes characters), there's no better horror than real life after all hahaha
We need to unite and upvote every PunPun comment ! There's enough of us to have our voice heard. It would be a shame to let Mark make it a short halloween video out of it, it deserves better.
Dark green walls? You sir have great taste. ALSO, you need to read Knights of Sidonia; it's Attack on Titan BUT IN SPACE! (Yet made BEFORE AoT).
Surprised to see you here
I dig your collection of mangas. One that I would personally advise getting into would be D. Gray-Man. I advise it to anyone who has seen or read Demon Slayer. DGM was originally published years before and is still ongoing. I have personally not finished the series to this point as of yet but the art style is very cool and I love the plot lines of demon hunting and the unique weapons each exorcist holds and the abilities they hold. I feel like the anime has a bit too much filler but the gritty atmosphere is just fascinating in my opinion.
I have heard through associates who also enjoy the series that it gets very deep
D Gray man is awesome.
Full Metal Alchemist deserves a review 100%.
The Pokemon manga is also a wild ride. I highly recommend even if you just read it for fun, honestly. It doesn't follow the anime aside from maybe the first chapter overlapping some, but otherwise it's its own entity entirely and it's great!
One Punch Man seems like an excellent series for a review. The characters and ideas that the series develops are on another level and I think that your review style would work wonderfully with it. I really love the way you focus on characters and particular emotions that a series brings to the table and One Punch Man is so full of material that makes you feel and think that it would make an amazing series for you to review in my opinion. And there was a third season anounced recently for the anime so a review probably would do well in the channel. Hi from Portugal!
I know Mark would love Mob Psycho. Out of all of the ones he showed, I think that’s the one I’d like him to review the most
ONE PPAAAAAAAAWWWCCHH!!!!
The story is great, the characters are golden, and Yusuke Murata pours so much love and respect into telling the tale that ONE blessed us with! Season 3 will be upon us soon! So I urge you, please review this fantastic manga adaptation of the webseries.
MHA, I'd love to hear your opinions on it. I've only just gotten into the series in the last month or so and it captivated me so much that I caught up to current anime and manga(I had a lot of free time at work haha)
Recently rewatched season 1 of One Punch Man and read everything after it, it was probably some of the most fun I've ever had going through a series and it probably has some of the best art I've ever seen in any manga ever. Definitely recommend reviewing it
Definitely casting my vote for reviewing both the FMA manga *and* the anime! Maybe even the '03 anime as well since it kinda went off to do its own thing but not in a bad way.
I will love to see a Mob Psycho 100 review. With the Anime currently airing, interest on the series will be high. Plus its humble beginning as a web comic makes me want to really see Marks analysis on the penship and structure of the panels.
Your wish has been granted :3
Wow, what an insane collection. There are SO many good series in your collection to pick from (Jujutsu Kaisen, Monster, 20th Century Boys, One Punch Man, etc.) but you need to review Full Metal Alchemist. there’s no words to describe how amazing that story is
yes
it has to be either Fullmetal Alchemist or Monster
What a terrible terrible day for rain.
@@roxtechs :(
The series called "DoroHeDoro." This is a series that is pure madness and chaos. Its themes are crazy, the world is intense and immense and the characters are probably the most memorable I've ever read in a manga to date from start to finish. I truly hope to see a review on this Manga just to let people know that a master piece is out there that needs to be seen in top 10 manga of all time. I highly recommend it.
Dai dark is another fun one by the same author
I feel DoroHeDoro is a bit niche and not necessarily for everyone. But it's definitely intense and a lot of fun.
We want to hear about what you want to read, Mark.
I understand the strategy of posting about topics popular culture is into right now. But I also want to encourage you-don’t be afraid to pursue stories that YOU are interested in (Bakuman, Pluto, et al).
Because, more than anything, it’s your unique insights we come to this channel for.
Hope you’re having a wonderful day ❤
I love Fullmetal Alchemist and I think it would be awesome to see mark review it
I was going to say Pokemon Adventures as a joke, but then you pulled them out HOLY SHIT! Mark, do it. Satoshi Tajiri (creator of pokemon) says it's the closet thing to his vision of the game. While not overly complex, plot wise, it follows the games with some nice twists and turns. Really easy and fun read.
Magi and Beelzebub are two old but underrated manga that I felt never got the recognition they deserved, would be nice if some of the more underappreciated manga got some spotlight.
I would love to see a Yu-Gi-Oh review. Currently collecting the omnibus's myself, the early stuff is fantastic, and the card stuff is way more digestible in this medium imo. RIP Kazuki Takahashi.
Fullmetal Alchemist. It's a complete series, with an anime(s). Great art/narrative consistency means a lot to visually comb over.
Fullmetal Alchemist would be an amazing review. It's already considered one of the best anime of this century, your perspective on the manga would be really interesting.
If you want to try something different, Oshi no Ko has a really particular take on the idol industry, taking a fun concept and diving into the darkest part of it.
Pokemon adventures would be sooo interesting to see covered, it's pretty surprising how in depth it can go. There's currently 15 arcs of varying lengths (1 for each main game, it looks like you have up to halfway through FRLG right now) but they all offer something different in each one with the protagonists goals and personalities being unique from each one before them. It's always cool to see exactly how the author adds his own spin on things since it's much more character driven, especially since he really settles into the continuous storytelling after the first few arcs.
Battle wise the action is very much about making use of Pokémon's unique biology from the pokedex and interactions with the environment to use as a strategy alongside the trainer's own physical participation. Which makes things much more engaging for a manga imo.
I love your reviews. I also love Fullmetal Alchemist. It'd be great to see how you feel about a series I love so much.
Full Metal Alchemist is an ABSOLUTE must for you to read, Mark. It is absolutely brilliant! And the Brotherhood anime is by far the most faithful adaptation of a manga I have ever read. A treat from start to finish
Not 100% perfect, I’m still a bit ticked off at how they handled my fav volume (10) they cut stuff from it for time, yet chose to have a filler episode follow it, are you kidding me!?
Jujutsu Kaisen is incredible but ongoing, so reviews will have to go on pause for a bit. Fullmetal is finished and divides nicely into three or four parts it's quite wonderful
Full Metal Alchemist would be my recommendation if I could only pick one. Looking forward to your next series review.
Hey Mark, I would REALLY love a Review of Monster. It is one of my favorite Stories of all time and the writing of the Characters is just astonishingly good. I already watched a lot of your reviews and I just know that you'd love to analyse in depth the meaning and psychology behind this masterpiece.
...FANS, HELP THIS MAN GET EVERY VOLUME OF YU-GI-OH! THAT NEEDS TO BE HIS NEXT SERIES!
I believe that goodnight punpun would be life-changing for you, the same way it was for me.
It's an amazingly well written story that puts ones life into perspective. I really cannot recommend it enough.
Being vage for the sake to not give too much away.
(p.s. Yes, depression should be expected after reading)
Pokémon Adventures (aka PokéSpe) is a really good adaptation of the Pokémon world--really fun, good story and a lot of good and GREAT characters. I would like to see a review from you to see if you like it or not, and if you didn't play the games, it would be even more interesting, in my opinion.
Please do Fullmetal alchemist, it was one of my favorite stories to read back in highschool. I'd love to see your opinion on the series.
Thanks for the insight into your collection Mark!
If I could give a top 5 series I think you should review in your collection, it would be:
1.Demon Slayer - The manga is done and the anime is ongoing, so it's in the same vein as Bleach right now but shorter. I'd definitely like to see your thoughts on the anime vs the manga material.
2.My Hero Academia - the series is supposedly in its final arc, and the anime is in one of the best, if not the best arc atm. (I also feel like you'd really like the Vigilantes prequel story and it could make for a good comparison video if that ever receives an anime)
3.Spy x Family - Massive Shonen Jump title, and it's an ongoing manga. The potential for this series is high.
4. Jujutsu Kaisen - Similar thoughts as Spy x Family.
5. Mob Psycho 100 - The anime's final season is airing. I don't think there wouldn't be a better time to cover it in the next few months if you could.But you also probably have other things in the pipeline so just a thought.
If I could give thoughts on personal favorites on stuff you haven't covered:
1. Full Metal Alchemist
2. Bakuman
3. Spy x Family
4. My Hero Academia
5. Assassination Classroom
You should definitely read Monster, in my opinion. That story's right up your alley and deserves more attention.
Read Monster, it has the best villain in anime/manga and the relationships are so good. Watching the story of Johan and Tenma is really great. It's such a good story.
So I know the purpose of the video was for us to help you choose a series of the ones you have around that you haven't gotten to yet, and of those I would back Full Metal Alchemist I think you will have a great time with it. HOWEVER, I will also throw in Fairy Tail as something for you to check out. It's got a lot of heart and fun mixed in with its action and story akin with One Piece and Dragon Ball. It also has it's sequel series "Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest" coming out in anime format soon so that helps with topic engagement. Just throwing my favorite magic adventure out there. Keep up the good work Mark.
I would highly recommend reviewing one of Urasawa's works. Especially Monster if you can. It's a masterpiece and needs more coverage. There's gaps in the market for these works on RUclips
SLAM DUNK by Takehiko Inoue from 1990 to 1967. An iconic series, it is a master class in terms of panel flow. Its influences can be even feel through out today's mangaka paneling. Hikaru no Go, illustrated by Takeshi Obata, written by Yumi Hotta, run from 1999 to 2003. One of the best character development you will read, and each characters will get a pretty satisfying character ending.
1967? My guy travelled back in time.
I was actually surprised to see that you didn’t have any volumes of Toriko, I feel that it’s a great subversion of kick-fight shonen stories, and I feel that someone like you covering it may help kick it back into the mainstream, it was done dirty with a bad anime, but the manga offered so much creativity in ways you just don’t see in fighting manga OR food manga, it is a great manga that I feel should get the praise it deserves
peakriko
I mean he mentioned Toriko in a video before but he probably never had interest in it I assume
@@historicflame972lol
I would vote for Haikyu!! It's a great series to discuss and analyze.
As someone with a massive manga collection as well I feel your pain on out of print or even trying to find copies of works that are old… trust me I adore my collections and will finish everything! Love your collection fellow manga lover!! ❤
I think you’d have a really great time with the thematic writing in JJK! It’s a very grey world that makes for a lot of unique character motivations to analyze.
My Hero Academia is my personal favorite anime ATM so I'd love to see you do a review of it at some point, but I think the thing I'd like to see a review of the most is Full Metal Alchemist. Based on what I know about your tastes I think you'd really enjoy it and I think it's one of the only shows I've seen where there wasn't a single major character I didn't like to some extent.
Yeah
I am also not a sports manga fan, but Haikyu hooked me really hard!
But I hope at most you will review fullmetal alchemist some day.
Haikyu is my loved one, my comfort story ✨
I loved watching the daylight slowly fade away from the window behind mark
i absolutely love bakuman, and would adore to hear your take on the story. you're completely right about it not being in the cultural sphere, so if you ever do a review of it, then it'd probably be best to wait until one of the slower months for revenue? january/february time?
i'm certain that FMA will beat out any other suggestion, but im holding out hope lol.
I'd say best option for Bakugan would be something new from the authors but I think the last thing like this was the anime adaptation of that one terrible manga about angels?
I’d love to see you review Monster since it’s such an incredible story.
Amazing collection mark! I would love to see you review all of one punch man up to date, it’s so good
The Urasawa novels are some of the greatest character manga I have ever read, and I truly believe it would be a service to the world if you could them to other people who may not have experienced them. If you do I would appreciate if you did Pluto first as it is the shortest of the three and all my personal favourite.
Fullmetal Alchemist is a good one for a Review. But i'm sad to hear that Gintama has no official licensed release. I definitely suggest you to watch the anime. It's a must watch because It only improves its source material. It's the same thing with Demon Slayer. The anime is what gave the series its legendary status.
I'd definitely recommend Oyasumi Punpun (Goodnight Punpun), it's one of the few works I'd say genuinely changed my life, a sobering reminder of how cruel and harsh can be, and how just let yourself getting drag along by it can end in tragedy....
So, I live in Kyoto, roughly a 10 minute walk from the trainstation, however keep on walking in the same direction and you will come to the manga museum. It's an entire old school that has been converted into a...museum/library - they have pretty much everything from the first mangas ever produced over 100 years ago to the most recent One Piece book...in like 20 different languages.
And here's the kicker - you are encouraged to read them. You can even go outside and sit in the café or on the lawn and read them. It's shelves upon shelves. Aisles upon aisles. Floors upon floors. If you ever want to go there, we have a guestroom you can stay in.
Given the unfortunate passing of Kazuki Takahashi this year, I would love to see you go through the Yu-Gi-Oh manga
Throwing my vote in the hat for FMAB. Always love the content Mark, hope all is well!
I forgot to give my actual suggestion in the last post: Parasyte. 100% Parasyte, holy shit. Another of my favorite manga of all time and IMO a good change of pace from the shonen action stuff you've been reviewing lately. It's also an interesting case study of how a manga can be updated to take place in a later time period (like the anime did) and still work just as well OR BETTER.
Currently reading Berserk and I am absolutely loving it. Just finished the Lost Children chapter and I have been watching your reviews they have been awesome. Allowing me to see things I didn’t notice upon my first reading.
You should definitely review Fullmetal Alchemist!
I hope there are more polls in future because there are tons of amazing ones on there, however for now I place 100 votes on FMA
Also, I would like to add Yotsuba to the list, its the cure for depression, sort of anti Oyasumi Punpun
Full metal alchemist brotherhood was the first, and only show to ever make me cry with the ending. Mark you don’t have to review it, but please watch or read brotherhood.
