It was a disappointment. Maybe the version I read was poorly translated or it was just poorly written. It hard a hard time getting points across to me, both artistically and dialogue wise. The art is solid but the flow of and the sequences were crappy. I had no idea what was happening most of the time.
Story wise, I am really really let down. It takes place in a facility 6000m underwater where a mysterious massacre occurred! You can play around with so many types of fears! The deep, dark ocean itself scares me personally, nightmare deep sea creatures, claustrophobia(Come on, you can imagine

Basically it's Event Horizon 6,000 meters below the sea.
Pros: Amazing artwork that plays with shadow to create truly eerie and horrifying images. Even the scenes where nothing is happening have an overwhelming sense of isolation and dread thanks to the art. I don't know if the mangaka is a naval structure otaku or a undersea engineer but the depictions of the underwater facility where extremely detailed. The research center felt like a real place which added to the horror. You really get a feel for the sprawling complex that they're trapped in. The plot uses interesting influences from Aztec religion which I've never seen in ...

Art - 9 - Everything is quite well drawn. I have no complaints.
Character - 7 - I'm pretty easy to please as far as character development goes, but I often had trouble telling characters apart Story - 8 - Now this is where things get difficult. I think that the story presented here is a solid 8; it was very good. However, it was incredibly poorly executed and hard to follow. There are so many instances where the reader is presented images with no context. I can't tell if the author is neglecting to include critical information where it matters, or if they are failing to ...

6000 with an intriguing title and cover many people will see something interesting til they see the score and reviews. While having a setting that many can get behind, 6000 suffers from terrible pacing, lackluster characters, and an f-you author ending. The main redeeming factor comes from the art where the artist does a great job of manga's limited colors of black and white to create an atmosphere centered around lighting that makes this quick read at least nice to look at if you find a good source.
Overall, 6000 has plenty of problems while looking good. It's a short 22 chapters so it's entirely up ...

It has been a while since I finished this so I might have a few memories wrong. The general gist of the story is pretty straightforward and reads like a horror movie. The reveal is pretty interesting to me, but that's because I liked the vague horror aspect of it. It felt very nebulous and inexplicable to a degree, which has become how I like my horrors.
Art is very realistic and serves the mood well. The grisly bits are well drawn with a messy style that makes it feel gritty and dirty, which helps add to the feel. Backgrounds remind me of PastelGames messy art ... |
