Kurogane no Linebarrel

[durendal]

Yeah, there was an anime of the same name but I am referring to more of it's original counterpart, the manga.  I've heard a lot of people complain about the main character in Linebarrel, and it is true, the anime made the lead character way too annoying.  But after reading the manga, you get to see the character develop.  But I'm posting this not because of the characters, but because of the plot.  I have to tell you that the main plot of the anime is completely different from the manga.  Although they share similar concepts, the story in the manga was utterly unexpected until it hits you right in the face.

 

I have to reiterate that the anime did not do justice to the manga.  It really wowed me.  

 

I was wondering if anybody else is following this.

Agreed 100%. Love the manga.

 

I'm not fully up to date on the manga at the moment ( I think a new volume just got released since I've read any), but read enough when the anime was being released to realize that, yeah, the Anime was crap in comparison.

 

Though I did just pick up the DVD set for cheap to try and give it another go... Maybe it'll be easier to watch not having to wait a week between episodes... which was PLENTY of time to debate ever watching the show again.

 

Though note to self - catch up on the manga.
