| I think Ginga Nagareboshi Gin really should be added. It's a WSJ series from the 80's that tells the story of dogs' epic fight against a nearly demonic bear Akakabuto. The main character is an Akita Inu called Gin, whose grandfather and father both fell in a battle against Akakabuto. He goes through tough training, joins a pack of wild dogs and travels with them around Japan, finding new allies. Here are some attributes of the series I believe prove it deserves a place on the list of manly anime: - The main character goes through ridiculously tough training in a harsh environment that could kill him, but survives all hurdles and surpasses his own limits. - The story could be paralleled to a group of samurai battling an evil criminal with superhuman strength. - A strong will allows characters to even overcome death. - Friendship between men is a force second to none and none of the dogs are afraid to risk their lives to bring the others closer to achieving their goal. Many comrades fall along the way and in the final showdown and what follows is naturally shedding of manly tears. - The battles are over the top violent in a good way. The dogs use some over the top techniques and the going gets over the top dramatic, even tragic, but the story achieves larger-than-life proportions. - And last but not least: the dogs always refer to themselves as "otoko"! And while male dogs are generally portrayed stronger than females, the single female dog of the pack is quite the fierce fighter herself. |
| Ok, why is Top wo Nerae! (and Top wo Nerae! 2) not on this list? Seriously, GUNBUSTER!!!! They invented hard work and guts! This is the show that proves you don't have to be a man to be a real man!! INAZUMA KIIIIIIICKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!! |
 |
| I approve of Gunbuster. |
 |
| Meshuggah needs to be added on ASAP. |
 |
| To be honest, I disagree with adding bands on the list. It's just seems to much of a stretch to me since there are many "manly" bands anyways, so I would rather just put them all in the group "Manly Bands" instead of listing every single band. We already have Megadeth in the list, so I really dont see why we need more. |
| I guess that is a valid point. |
|
| Aslo, Gun X Sword should get a mention. Not only are the main characters pretty badass, but the 80 year olds in that show seriously know how to kick ass. |
|
| Pretty badass? C'mon, hit me up with a link or something. A video or picture would be nice. |
|
| Guin of Guin Saga gets my vote. |
 |
| Added: Guin Saga One Outs Bus Gamer Souten no Ken Karas Liar Game Souten no Ken Dragon Head Baki Gaiden-Scarface AD Police Assassin Story Baki: Search for our Strongest Hero Uzumaki Riki-oh Shigurui |
|
| Nice. So when will Guin be added to the Character Relations? |

Ok, I just googled them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15eBy4QRPgQ You really have to see them in context though to get how awesome they really. These guys are close to 80, their mech is over 60 years old. And they aren't the main characters. I guess it also helps if you've seen GaoGaiGar. (especially the sound effects) And Gunbuster/Diebuster. Really have to be seen to be believed. But here is a short example from Diebuster (although it has massive spoilers, but w/e) For starters, Nono is voice acted by the same person that did Nia from TTGL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJNq4S8uXas |
|
| Added Gun X Sword and Diebuster. |
|
| Tatsumi Oga: http://myanimelist.net/character/20766/Tatsumi_Oga That dude is such a royal badass. Beats the shit out of other delinquents with a baby on his back. Shit, the whole Beelzebub manga is amazing: http://myanimelist.net/manga/10010/Beelzebub |

| Picture/Video for reference? |
|
KilledByZero said: Picture/Video for reference? Well since it's only a manga for now, you'd have to read it. Otherwise, I can't really find any pictures. I can tell you he is the "parent" of the future Demon King and he thrashes pretty much every delinquent in his school which is ironic since he's a delinquent. I guess if you want picture references, look at the other pictures on his character profile page. |

| Add Trigun -> Add Wolfwood. How has no one done this yet? |
 |
| Wolfwood is not on MAL. It may have a different name, but the title "Wolfwood" did't yield any results on MAL. Added Trigun. |
|
| Here's for Wolfowood: http://myanimelist.net/character/722/Nicholas_D._Wolfwood Also, just really read the rest of this chapter for Oga Tatsumi: http://www.onemanga.com/Beelzebub/4/11/ |
People are strange, when you're a stranger |
| Wolfwood is a character. The deuteragonist of Trigun. Trigun manga, also, both of them. They are much manlier than the anime. Example of manly Wolfwood: http://manga.animea.net/trigun-maximum-chapter-64-page-2.html Also, Toriko. The manga and the character. It's Fist of the North Star with chefs. Example: http://www.onemanga.com/Toriko/2/25/ http://www.onemanga.com/Toriko/2/26/ http://www.onemanga.com/Toriko/2/27/ |
|
| I second Wolfwood. That fight with Razlo was beyond God Tier. |
| Added Wolfwood and Toriko, both as requested. |
|
| Oh, dang I was gonna 3rd wofwood being added but looks like zero already took care of it. Wolfwood is a complete badass. |
| Two characters I was surprised who aren't in the club: Hei from Darker Than Black and Roy Mustang from FMA. Hei: http://myanimelist.net/character/2160/Hei Roy Mustang: http://myanimelist.net/character/68/Roy_Mustang |
People are strange, when you're a stranger |
| I'll add those right away and am kind of surprised we looked over those two great individuals. |
| Rainbow needs to be added. |
| A past can last a lifetime. How to Read Manga! | AnimeBytes | iMangaScans |
| added. |
|
| I suggested adding Ginga Nagareboshi Gin to the club relations on page 11. Wasn't it considered manly enough or something? I just wanted to check. |

|
| Well, I tried to give some reasoning in the post, but here are some videos of the series: Opening Benizakura, one of the dogs, sacrificing his life to defeat an enemy bear Akatora's death Those last two videos are shining examples of the courage and manliness of the dogs. |
| I added it. I'm still skeptical: this is the real man club, not the real man club for dogs. Next time, try to suggest something that revolves around people. |
|
| Well, there's this grumpy old man, Gohee Takeda, in GNG, and he sure is a real man. He's so dedicated to killing Akakabuto (the monstrous bear who's the main antagonist of the series) that he's ready to fight the bear having lost his leg and being armed with only a cleaver. Incidentally, it was the same cleaver he himself hacked his (injured) leg off with. He isn't seen that much, which is a damn shame, 'cuz Gohee kicks ass. |
| Fair enough. |

|
| How the fuck is Dorohedoro not on the manga list. |
| It is now. |
| Thorkell from Vinland Saga http://www.mangafox.com/manga/vinland_saga/v05/c035/15.html 'nuff said |
| Fair enough, added. |
|
| How come has this manly classic been forgotten? City Hunter City Hunter City Hunter 2 City Hunter 3 City Hunter '91 |
| Added. |
| Added. |
|
| somewhat pre-emptive suggestion: http://myanimelist.net/anime/9241/Super_Robot_Taisen_OG:_The_Inspector The episodes out are manly, but as the series progresses, the manlyness should grow to colossal proportions (if you know what I mean). I suppose divine wars as well, but meh, not so much. |
| Added, thanks slax. |
| Noticed Date, now that we've had the second season of Basara: Shimazu: http://myanimelist.net/character/36258/Yoshihiro_Shimazu Chosokabe: http://myanimelist.net/character/20872/Motochika_Chousokabe Takeda: http://myanimelist.net/character/18969/Shingen_Takeda You might make a case for Sasuke, Hideyoshi, and Kojuro. |
 |
| The three characters you've provided links with have been added. |
| Zone-00 my favorite manga. It's got manly men, lots of boobies, guns, swords, androids, fun humor, gore, everyone in the cast either smokes or has tattoos, some both and then some. Hundred Stories I think should be added also, I can't even begin to describe it, one giant mind fuck works well. Beelzebub- cause it's fucking hilarious and awesome. |

| I'll look into the other one's but Hundred Stories is medicore at best. |
