Monsters Inc Manga- Tokyo pop

[yoruhoshi]

I heard about the manga ages ago, but I don't have the money to get it yet. ^^;

Looking over the pages more- Waternoose looks a bit like he's possessed in some pages too.

And fat. Can't forget that. Who ate all the pies?

I'm still off about the nose on Sulley too- a long nose... I keep thinking of Pinnochio myself. Shouldn't they draw his whole head as big and out of proportion? But it may be a Japan culture thing...



Fungus... what the heck is wrong with Fungus? He looks like some kind of... toy when manga!randall hits him.

I'm not really 'digging' this art very much.

Mike looks too cute, and it makes me almost want to hug him- but then I read his boasting, and that crazy urge completely evaporates. (The small part of my sanity remains intact!)
I think the reason for this 'cuteness' is also due to the fact that.. anime/manga is all abou eyes... and what is Mike if but a big eye?

Plus... Randall calling Sulley 'Sulley'? um... okay.

Plus, they don't have the best english on these pages really in the end- they really should have got a native english speaker to help the translation seem more natural in terms of dialogue- some of it doesn't fit very well and reads like it's just been translated straight off with little regard to how it sounds in someones head when they read it. Parts make you stop for a second and wonder what the heck they are talking about and can't help but think of a better way to word it.

Honestly if I could draw I'd do crack!fanart just of this manga- probably Waternoose in an eating contest, Sulley smoking some kind of illegal substance and Mike dancing with care bears around a fire and hooded cloaks.

I'm not sure what I'd make Randall do.

I don't think we're missing out on much in regards to this manga.

I'm terrible Bampot- I see anime first usually if at all.

Manga/anime is like Sci Fi for me- while I do have things I like which exist in that gnere- you can't give me big eyes or light sabres and consider me sold. The characters have to grab me or at least the setting. A mystery can be good for this.

Though we probably all have our gilty pleasures.

[RandallBoggs]

In anime/manga, some things are exaggerated for character purposes. I guess they wanted to show Waternoose had more than it seemed, and that being "fat" is similiar to the "fat and rich" sorta saying.

*laughs* Funny considering Sullivan can't lie worth squat ^0^

Ragdoll maybe ^_^

I'd make better manga ^0^

Yeah true...eyes do do some weird things in manga. And Wazowski's got a big one.

*nods* Though Sullivan encouraged Randall to call him that during training...not so much either of them during those days we see.

[mistica0christina]

I've heard about that manga and is glad to see that it is an actual manga and not one of those "we will use pics straight from the film and call it" mangas...one of these days, I'm so going to buy this, a big fan of anime and manga myself, must buy whenever I get the chance.

[yoruhoshi]

^True that! *highfive*

[Bampot]

I second that. I hate when I find out one of my favorite movies is a manga, pick it up to read, and find it's just screens from the film. So disappointing. I probably will by it when I have time just because I am both a MI fan who enjoys manga.

[mistica0christina]

Yay, more manga readers! ;D *gives high fives back*

Umh...in Italy the manga was released with the original "manga" reading:from right to left!

Well that's not too strange really, sometimes mangas will be released like that in order to make it easier on readers who aren't used to the whole left to right way...although there isn't too much of a difference besides the different direction, that's all.

That's how it is here too. With most manga, at least. I know that some shojos are made left to right, but I think that's due to the artist.

Regarding the MI manga, I agree with Mentalguru here, WAY too weird to take seriously art wise. @_@

Curiously funny though. XD

[sgtyayap]

Indeed. Only I feel the weirdness applies to the writing as well, at least in relation to the movie.

Here's something weird to me...who the hell are you?! You're new that I can tell but are you just a drifter or what?

[RandallBoggs]

Whoa. Ease up there Mistica. The guy's new. Albiet with a strange choice of name, lets not be to critical on his second of all posts.

WOW. Who the hell am I? Pretty nice way to tell me I'm not welcome..

Sorry if I didn't pass clearance with you before I asked permission to post. I don't think it matters whether I'm a drifter or not, since it has nothing to do with the topic here. XD

But if you want to know so bad, feel free to investigate my private messages.
