Kenataro Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Yeah I read the manga too and I think its a waste of time to buy it, but thats just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stafal-chan Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yeah i only looked at it real quick... but i definatly don't wanna spend my money on it (heh heh TT_TT i'm spending enough on the series i'm already reading...*sigh* i'm soo broke) hmmm.. the art looked okay but not good. i'd like to see how the storyline is... :catgirl: maybe i'll sit in there sometime and read it.

Kenataro Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 another company called tokyo pop I think made it. No offense but it's Sony. and kingdom hearts was made by squaresoft and square-enix. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenataro Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Kingdom Hearts is about a boy named Sora who led a quiet life with his friends until the dark heartless came and took over the island so...he got the keyblade insteadof Riku(riku was suposed to get it but he gave his boody to the darkness) Sora gets hit by this huge storm and wakes up in traverse town with Goofy and Donald(king micky is missing so they try to find him) Now the trio tries to save Riku and Mikey to close the world of darkness. cool huh? boy am I tired :sleep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senko Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 oh ok so the whole story line is just the same as the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Par-Fait Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Actually, the art is some of the best I've seen in any manga. It's a really definitive comical style with attitude. The action jumps out at you because of it's dynamic style, and it gives the characters personality. I think it suits Kingdom Hearts really well...if it was drawn in any other way it probably wouldn't look nearly as good. That's just my opinion... xD The paneling tho, could use some work. Shiro Amano seems like sort of an amateur at manga and I also think that how the manga is so fast-paced throws people off too. But it shouldn't be a problem if you've played the game. Anyway, I like it. :3 It's not even close to some of the better manga I've read, but if you're willing to buy something for eyecandy, or are a fan of the game, it's worth a look.

Senko Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 awsome! i will definatly have to check that out now. :catgirl: by the tlway i love you avatar katamari damacy is the best game. its so inavative and so buetiful all at the same time, plus the fact that it plays well with great music but that is off the point the point is is that i will definitly check out the manga now thanx :animesmil :animesmil :animesmil :animesmil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenataro Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 You know there is something that has been puzzling me. Why bother to make a game then make a manga. It would really make sense to make the manga then the game(thats what I would do). Look at Ragnarok first a manga by Tokyopop now a website and online game. Check it out at [url]iro.ragnarokonline.com[/url] Its an interesting manga. ...I emphasize interesting. By the way cool avatar Senko(FFX is my favorite game. :p ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love ffx too :p its a great game :animesmil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Par-Fait Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 [QUOTE]Why bother to make a game then make a manga.[/QUOTE] Because if the manga is based off of a really popular game like Kingdom Hearts, the publishers know it will sell to fans of the game - no matter what the quality of the manga is. Also, if people are curious about the game and haven't played it, reading the manga at a bookstore is a lot cheaper than buying the game and not even knowing if you'll like it or not. But also, it's fanservice for fans of the game. I guess its kind of like saying "thanks for buying and playing our game, here's some an extra thingie of it for you fans (us to make money off of)". Or something. o_o' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenataro Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Yeah I understand that but. The thing is that the Manga artist has no affiliation with the game or square-enix the artist just made the manga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stafal-chan Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 The manga artist hadda associate(sp? heh heh i really suck at spelling) with the people who made the game to make a manga on it though because other wise he'd get sued for stealign their ideas... You know i've seen manga and anime go to video games but never the otehr way around like KH...that's weird ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senko Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 yeah now that i think of it your right the only thing...no wait or maybe...no not that i cant think of a single one right now...Wait! no just kidding that was a manga first :animedepr oh well i think that some people should start doing that though. the game to manga idea. i mean think of how many things can be turned into a manga. :catgirl: for one how about any final fantasy game. that would make a great manga :animesmil !!
