There is a new manga? Or they just published the Japanese manga in English? I've been waiting for this for so long, wow. ♥

The movie. I don't care if it sucks, I still want to see it. And I hope it helps for more people to read the books. :)

The mangas out in the USA, sorry, I didn't make that clear. And yeah its pretty good. Like I said, Darren proofread it and helped a little with the translations.

Ah good, a decent excuse to pan the movie!

I'm kidding, but I already dislike due to the fact that they felt compelled to screw around with the story. Darren disliking it too is just the icing on the cake for me.

Book One of the manga is very good. I own it. :3 Although some of Steve's expression are the scariest I've ever seen in a graphic novel XD

The main thing that got me aggravated was that they changed Debbie's name and skin color O_________o It makes me feel so low to be living in such a racist country...

The reason they tweaked the story I can understand to an extent...obviously the medias are different and if you're going to a movie you're gonna want more action and stuff and a little less explaining...but yet I don't see the reason in going completely haywire with a perfectly good attention grabbing story.

Also, I read on IMDB that Cormac Limbs is played by Jane Krakowski. What?! First of all, Cormac is a horrible name for a woman! Second, yes, there is a bit of a lack of women in the series, but all of the women that are there are BAMFs! And thirdly, WHAT'S. THE. FREAKIN'. POINT?! *headdesk*

And while we're on the subject, why are the actors for Steve and Darren seventeen when the characters are somewhere in the twelve to fourteen range? And why does Darren's actor look so much like Jared Padalecki? And why is Evra played by somebody who's almost thirty? And who the hell are "Pigpen" and "Mr Piercing"? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THIS MOVIE?!!

Oh, and how in the world are they going to be able to film all the graphic violence without it getting an 18 rating?

The manga is actually pretty good. I was surprised and pleased. I'm set to buy the whole series. :D

Still gonna see the movie regardless. Want to see how John C Riley is in it.
