I have volume 1 (as you know ;) ) and I think it's about... mediocre. The TV series is pretty cool, but the manga just never really cought my attention. I think it's because one minute it'll be insanely dark and innocents are getting slaughtered and crap, then all of a sudden, they're trying to be funny, and it doesn't make a good transition.

For serious samurai action, check out [I]Blade of the Immortal[/I]. For funny stuff, stick with [I]Rurouni Kenshin[/I].

Yes! Kyo is amazing and he is WAY better in his demon form! (sexy long red hair cool samurai armor) :animesmil I saw all the episodes because I bought the box set and I have to say, they did a fantastic job with it, although some of the voices such as Benitora and Migeira are disappointing but otherwise OMFG! This is definitely one of my favorites.

I've been reading the manga (Through 15, I think. Have to ask Starwind...), and I have to say that I enjoy this series. There is plenty of action, a decent amount of humor, and an endless amount of twists and turns that keep the reader enthralled. That is saying nothing about the cliffhangers, which make you absolutely have to read the next volume.

The plot is definently the interesting sort, but I can see other series wanting to parallel the wierd relationship that Kyo and Kyoshiro have. In my mind, it's taking a step away from classic MPD, as can be seen in Paranoia Agent and even the Chapter Black arc of Yu Yu Hakusho, and making it so that two very different individuals are literally stuck together. The one even has a body somewhere, it's just a matter of [I]finding[/I] that body.

And, of course, the characters are very enjoyable. My favorite is a toss up between Benitora and Akira. 'Tora I like simply because of the way he talks, and the fact that he's one of those guys who could have been a hero, but is overshadowed by the hero of the series. Akira...well. I like him because he seems to constantly flip between being a fairly respectable characterto acting like a petulant child. I just find it so funny!

I might look into the anime if it's any good. But, if it comes to character's personalities being completely changed, then I simply won't bother. I like the manga, and I don't want anything to ruin my view of it.

[COLOR=DarkRed]No their personalities are the same :animesigh thank goodness. It's just the dubbing that irritates me, but like I said it's only Benitora and Migeira. Benitora sounds like he's from Texas and Migeria sounds like he's some...there isn't a word to describe it. Their voices don't really fit their figure. But everything else is quite good.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][FONT=Book Antiqua]I have only read the first two volumes, and I really like the series (the manga of course). The difference in comedy and action really help this b/c of the seriousness of the plot.... I think that some of the scenes where Kyo is a pervert are very funny! But, alot of the action is very good.... I think that the only thing I don't like in the manga is the way it's set up when Kyo is Kyoshiro, the way it's very dark, you really can't absorb a lot of the detail... but that's the only thing I don't like about the mangas....

I really love this series! ^_^[/FONT][/COLOR]
