Btw, I tried catching you on MSN a few times at pretty early times,
but you are prolly KO at those times.
Will try to catch you on at some later moments.
Also: Didn't out compat. used to be 80%+ ? o.o
- Clone.
Mariya would be an awesome character if HE didn't dress up as a girl.
Honestly I have nothing against him, I just DON'T LIKE TRAPS!!

-.-
But it's a nice tune now that I listened to it.
I wouldn't necessarily mind if Bokurano was a partial rip-off; after all, I love "Battle Royale", and that's hugely influenced by "Lord of the Flies". Your write-up makes it sound very interesting, so I'll add it to my giant manga queu. Thanks.
And yeah, I have both "Blue Heaven" and "Jiraishin" in my manga plan-to-read list. I can tell you're a big Takahashi fan based on those recommendations; I've only read "Dead Flowers" so far, and it was a very good one-shot.
As for Baki, he's not that obsessive, especially once he reaches the age of 17 and becomes the champion of the underground fight league. In the manga, he is even portrayed as a bit lazy/overly relaxed on a few occasions, and there's a romantic subplot with his girlfriend.
As for my list of favorites, it's a decent, representative sample, but "G Senjou Heaven's Door" (maybe the absolute best I've read), "Blade of the Immortal", "Seizon Life", and "20th Century Boys" is just as great, and a number of other works aren't far behind.
And yeah, thanks! Hope your weekend goes well, too.
I loved the Tesla chapter, but my favorite was the Ty Cobb story. Just an uncompromising look at a real life man more ruthless and amazing than any anime character.
By the way, since you have it in your favorites, is Bokurano a bit of an "Ender's Game" rip-off, or is it significantly different from the sci fi classic?
It's Hirohiko Araki's (the guy that wrote Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) "Henjin Henkutsu Retsuden", or "The Lives of Eccentrics".
It's the best single volume collection of one-shots I've read.
