>>3590 >But does either the manga or anime have any merit on it's own? I started watching it about a decade ago, and immediately dropped it. Can't remember a thing about it, so probably not.

I read some of the manga when I was in a bookstore once years ago, here is my take. The art is good, artist does porn and you can tell. Lot of fetish stuff, including some /ss/ material and some dark skinned trap content. Story wise it is more than a smidge melodramatic, it contained a lot of elements focused on integrating vampire society and human society. To that end, the main female protagonist (ab)uses her position in vampire society to do a bunch of shit in pursuit of this that seems more than a little beyond the pale and winds up causing problems for people. The manga likes to downplay the problems she makes or pretends they are actually good things which for me at least seems very leftist. Humans are depicted, in general, as being incompetent and sometimes banally evil. The "old guard" amongst the vampires is more competent but equally villainous so they come off as worse since their motivations are more "political scheming" than "if the vampires/immigrants move in it will destroy our society". It can be both good rage fuel and fap fuel if you give it the chance but don't go in expecting much more. While the fights are cool in concept their portrayal on the page left a bit to be desired. That being said, while looking for pictures I saw a clip or two from the anime, it looks like the fight scenes have more impact in motion.

That's it for chapter 1. I'll post next one tomorrow. Hope we can read it together.

>>3613 Oh i know about english manga localizer. They are no better than vidya ones but this is the highest quality scan out there.

I never finished reading this thing, I kind of want to see just how angry it can make me. I'll try to keep checking in but if I don't see /a/ in the top boards I assume there is no activity, someone might want to float the idea of always keeping legacy boards on the top boards and just shuffling their order by activity to Codexx or Acid.

Good words don’t change military so she is taking realistic path, just like human depiction >The "old guard" . . motivations are more "political scheming" than "if the vampires/immigrants move in it will destroy our society". You don’t rule for centuries by killing your lifestock. Fitting for vampire/European to scheme among themselves and bother other human >It can be both good rage fuel Haven’t read this for decade as middle schooler and college guy but I don’t remember raging beyond Mina getting framed as heinous > I saw a clip or two from the anime, it looks like the fight scenes have more impact in motion. If anyone like the glasses president I can vouch to watch the anime until she is removed from scene (4-6 eps)

>. The manga likes to downplay the problems she makes or pretends they are actually good thing Alucard. pretty sure our gen like him so that either came out hypocritical or double standard
