ITT: Favourite Battle scene
>>136328962
Your favorite is from Index?
This fight was perfect. Seijuro was still alot more skilled than him, but Takezo had steeled his mind in his journey
>>136330546
How does one steel their mind?
>>136330426
is the entire manga that hype?
>>136330426
Whoa, when the fuck does this happen? I finished part 1.
>>136329673
Index has some top tier fights, but they all fucking come from beyond the end of the anime.
>>136330771
fire red / leaf green arc
>>136328962
Kagura vs Abuto
>>136329673
>Noumi
That one is good, he gets REKTD some of the hardest in all anime. Kakakaka.
>>136330722
There's more than enough hype moments of that caliber to justify reading through all of it.
>>136331299
Animated is better.
>>136331299
One of the very few times where the anime did the fight scene so much better
>>136330426
That actually sounds pretty exciting. I was trying to read it. When Yellow showed up I kind of got distracted.

Incredibly lengthy sessions of nofap
Giorno VS Cioccolata
>>136336299
Why was Giorno so mad at this guy again? His barrage was 6 damn pages long. They don't even do that shit for the main antagonists.
>>136335697
Never watched the anime adaptations. That exchange is so much slower paced than I imagined, huh.
>>136336346
Cause cioccolata is a shit human being and giorno a moralfag.
>>136335994
No, all the fights are like that.
>>136336648
Also this may not be the best fight in terms of animation quality but the atmosphere is so hype that I get a boner evrytim.

Not even him, but holy shit this unwarranted elitism. Anime and Manga are not any better written in general.
>>136337030
but fights are much better in those mediums, it's hilarious to hear someone say their favorite battle is from a friking LN
>>136335909
Everything with Kumagawa is good.
Roshinu fight in Berserk was pretty great.
>>136330546
At that point it's a pretty bold statement to say that Seijuro was more skilled than Musashi, let alone "a lot more".
But the fight was great, that's true.

No, not really. Books can have significantly better fights depending on the flow of the narrative and the reader's imagination. Visual media leave almost nothing to the imagination.

Where can I continue off from where the anime ended+ Is the manga up to date with the novel?
>>136328962
>>136337829
It felt to me like the point of the scene was that Seijuro was more skilled while Musashi had a stronger mind because of his meeting with Inei and Yagyuu.
Then Seijuro bet it all on one strike, and the burden of being the Yoshioka prodigy fucked him up. He wasn't spiritually strong enough
>>136335787
goddamn I loved that part
>>136341026
Index? Manga is behind the anime. Anime ends before vol 14 of the novels, but read vol 6's epilogue, vol 13's epilogue, and SS1 ch3 before starting on 14. See pic for reading order. 2 and 3 (SP and Norse SS) are optional, but best read before starting on NT. All the other side stories can be read whenever.

>>136342205
Since we're griping about it and all, have the novels been translated by now?
I'm on a bit of a high for this series right now but still
Son of Ogre is entirely top tier fights with both top tier art and meaningful reasons to fight
Reading through the second half of the series was worth just for this fight alone.

Very few manga have panel composition good enough to surpass even mediocre anime adaptations.
Blade Of The Immortal and Blame are one of those few, and unsurprisingly enough not a single post until now has mentioned either of them. /a/ proven yet again it has fucking garbage taste is just about everything.

>>136343631
It's still ongoing. It's still good IMO. I just wish the mangaka didn't make Thorfinn become Kenshin Himura 2.0 in terms of morality.

And Hilter wasn't particularly fond of jews.
You're talking about a series where Obama's personality is transferred into the body of a Japanese schoolgirl because a pair of roller-skates downloaded his mind onto the internet. "A bit wonky" doesn't cut it.
Is Baki worth going through that art for?

The jose and Joe fight was probably my favorite with Carlos being second.
>>136343662
>Very few manga have panel composition good enough to surpass even mediocre anime adaptations.
This is totally wrong. The overwhelming majority of anime adaptions have no understanding of momentum or weight. They blindly try to replicate the manga without appreciating that that the illusion of momentum in manga is totally different from the illusion of momentum in animation.
Joseph vs Wham
>>136345076
What happened with Jose in the end?

Mindfucked by Joe.
I've always liked Vinland Saga's fights, to bad the series has turned to shits.
Starts of good in the first 80 or so chapters only to pull the rug under the readers feet and turn the main character into a boring pacifist who's only way to redemtion is to take as many asswhopings as he possibly can.
It's very good up to that point, just stop reading when you get to Farmville.

None of these are even remotely good fights, especially not Shirou vs Berserker which was pure fucking garbage. The only reason you think it's good is because Emiya was playing. The only actual fight(not interrupted in the middle because Nasu cannot write for shit) worth a damn in either is the end of HF.

>>136343662
I disagree entirely. >>136345087 has it right. It's actually rare when I see a fight that lives up to how exciting I thought it was when I read it. Having to slow down the pacing to allow for speaking is part of the problem - you can gloss over that shit MUCH quicker while reading.
>>136343596
idk, I like where vinland saga is going right now.
If it had kept going for more fight scenes they'd probably have been stale and boring.
The final fight in Scryed is up there for me. Especially the last part where they run out of power and just start wailing on each other, that kind of unrefined brutality is a breath of fresh air compared to most anime fights in which everything feels staged because it's too clean and choreographed.
this manga has no business being as hype as it is.

>>136351072
there's a lot going wrong with this post. From assumptions about the previous poster's intent, to assumptions about how the manga industry works, and general misunderstanding of dragonball as a franchise, not to mention just plain lack of taste.
To put it simply - the Dragonball manga is pretty good. Has some dumb plot points, and when it's playing things for serious instead of for fun those dumb things stand out more. But the action is consistently great.
The anime ruins a lot of good things from the manga, and adds in a whole host of other problems.
It doesn't have anything to do with the imaginary Dragonball vs DBZ split.
Except for the retarded toe-spinning, this was a really great fight. Loved how they each modified their techniques and strategy as the fight went on.
>>136351772
Would have been a good fight if Takamura lost.
>>136351726
dragonball is one of the more faithful adaptations of a manga i have seen, really the only part i can remember as filler was the stop over in doctor slup world and the pre goku getting tall segment, neither of which were bad.
i cant remember off the top of my head if they anime skipped over parts that were in the manga or not.
as for my dragonball z part, it has nothing to do with the imagery, it's the fact they padded it the fuck out because they caught up with the manga, some padding is good, goku learning to drive, gohan in school was a bit extended, but most of it sucked dick, and the worst of it was when they made the fights take for fucking ever due to the padding... seriously, if you ever watch dbz have a skip button set for 5 seconds, 10 seconds and 1 minute, you will set, not that you will use anything but the 1 minute for most of the time.
Cowboy bebop final scene
>>136351945
Thing is, it has nothing to do with the DB/DBZ jump. That's just fucking made-up and the concept only exists in the West. In japan it's just all "Dragonball". And yeah, the anime sucks because filler and Toei. And the filler exists because it caught up, but it could have caught up at any time - halfway through the Red Ribbon arc, during the Android Saga, etc.
It's like arbitrarily saying that One Piece should be divided between One Piece, and One Piece Z at the point when they started doing filler arcs, which was around Alabasta.
>>136343741
when does gintama get good? i keep coming back to it every now and then, but i never get far enough in for it to really grab me.
>>136352094
I'd say about 30 chapters or so for the characters to really get set down and it starts being consistently riotously funny. The first "serious" arc would be the Benizakura arc, and I forget when that happened - I wanna say 110 or so? But Gintama is both humor and serious shit, so if you aren't drawn in by one of those, then just don't bother.
>>136352085
but the fucking thing is it didn't.
dragonball, as in pre saiyan anime was good, and a relatively faithful adaptation, if you liked the manga, pick up dragonball, give dbz a shot too, it didn't get bad till namek in the amount of fight padding and after that out right filler, have a macro pad or controller mapped to 5 and 10 second jumps with 1 minute jump and you will be good to go.
>>136342524
>>136342758
>>136346090
It's been years now and I'm still not over just how much this series blew it's fucking potential. The only other comparable thing in Gantz when it comes to just how much the author lost the plot half way through. Such a shame because the early chapters are absolutely brilliant and it has some amazing battles and panels.

>>136352219
You're an idiot. >>136335697 this is already kind of mediocre and not nearly as exciting as the manga. There's no reason to watch budget shonen anime from the 80's anymore, especially when the superior and still-enjoyable manga exists.
I've watched the entirity of Dragonball, because I'm not underage like you. I grew up with that shit. The manga is better, consistently. There's also no point in differentiating between DB and DBZ. It's an arbitrary distinction. It's not even like One Piece or Naruto where they made a big fucking deal out of the timeskip - it was actually the 2nd timeskip for DB, and it happened in a single chapter, with no break or hullabaloo.
HSDK had a lot of great fights.
>>136352393
ill give you that i honestly thought that the anime took a year or more off, but apparently dragonball ended and dbz began the same year...
a distinction between the two... sense you read it all and watched it all, i have to call you the biggest retard i have so far met on this site.
can you honestly tell me the story had even close to the same time after that time skip? sure it had the same characters but the tone throughout was never the same again.
some of the filler in dbz was the same tone, but no, its not even close.
>>136352565
You mean after the first time-skip? When Piccolo Jr. was introduced? Yeah, that was the beginning of the end of DB being a gag manga. Though it returned to form a bit during the Buu arc. Also Hercule in general.
It's called a slow shift and it happens in many manga, it wasn't just a sudden change.
