As incomplete/wrong as it was it is one of my favorite animes. It lacks so many of the tropes that annoy me or make me uncomfortable in anime. I'd argue it's one of the best starter series for people just getting into anime.
this isnt fantasy, but id recommend the manga "nana". its about a country girl that meets a rocker girl when she moves to the city. i loved it. i couldnt watch the anime though. its fine if people like it, but i just had a different vibe for their voices and the music. i would love to see if you know of any books that might be similar to that.
ETA: If you like Darling in the Franxx, try Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao, and vice versa. Original: The Promised Neverland's anime doesn't tell a complete story, period. 😭 I've never read the manga, but you basically have to if you want closure. If I'd known that when S2 started, I would've just saved time and skipped it. They did TPN dirty. 😔
Talking about suggestion: If you loved Berserk, try to read Elric of Melnibonè, different protagonist but storyes very strongs and opposite parallelism;)) Thank you Miss Elliott;)
i loved the manga for claymore. the world being unveiled through the hierarchy and sisterhood of the claymores... ive been looking for something like it ever since i first read it.
Elliot. I’ve never heard you mention reading light novels before even though this might be a natural transition from or to manga and anime. My favorite for world building is Ascendance of a bookworm. That one has a 3 mediums but started as a web novel. I watched the anime and now am 12 volumes in deep in the light novel. For some reason Amazon has this listed as children fantasy, but I don’t agree. I assume because it’s kind of a coming of age story about a young woman reincarnated into a little girl but she goes on to bring modern concepts to a midieval setting. I think you’d like it
If you like the anime trope of kids/teens getting transported to another world where they have a puzzle or problem to solve, you should read ‘Lonely Castle in the Mirror.’ It’s translated from Japanese and I felt like it should be an anime the whole time I was reading it.
In perfect world scenario: a FAITHFUL & detailed "live action" adaptation TV series for Claymore. For real, Claymore is one of the most easiest series to adapt as live action dark fantasy show, especially for western audiences. It even has all the checks for Netflix quota aka lots of female protags (LOL). I still don't get why so many people missed this out. The amazing fight scenes alone are 90% of powerful female warriors!! Idk if you're also reading "light novel" works, but I would recommend you to read "86." It really is such great read. Of course it has anime series (in which I how I got introduced) & it's pretty amazing too. You can't go wrong with A-1 Pictures after all.
Oh my gosh, how did it not occur to me that Claymore and Witcher are so similar?? Clare even has similarly silver hair 😆 Oh man, now I want to re-read that whole manga series
Yes, do more of this type of videos for anime and manga please. I started in anime and manga community for years but since 2019/2020 I totally lost touch with it, and you just reminded me that Claymore is one of the manga I would like to read. I need to catch up to Vinland and finish The Promise Neverland too. I'm currently trying to finish Tokyo Ghoul at the moment. By the way, when you have the time, check out Golden Kamuy. I think you might like it.
I got into vinland because of you, and I LOVE it.. love the characters so much, love seeing how the characters change over time. Need to check out claymore !! thank you
Yes! I 100% agree with Shadow of the Fox. The entire time I was reading it, I was visualizing it as if I were watching an anime. I would love to see it adapted, honestly. If it was done well, of course 🤣
Great taste in manga/anime! XD Claymore was awesome! I know that AoT has a similar twist, but considerind that Claymore was published first, it is a shame how it's not as popular. TPN was okay for me, I watched the anime and usually if i really like it, I'd continue reading the manga, but it was not that great. The first episode did blow my mind tho. interesting books recs! added to my tbr
This was great :) I’ve done a couple of these videos and included Vinland Saga on one of them. I recommended Cornwell’s Arthurian trilogy (The Warlord Chronicles). It’s a different period of time, but similar atmosphere/themes to Vinland Saga. I’m sure Allen has plugged it before, so I’ll add to his endorsement. It’s fantastic!
I would also say the poppy war trilogy would be an awesome anime, and Steel Crow Saga too would be so cool (it’s literally described as Pokémon and Avatar hybrid)
If you want a revenge story, I have never read a better one than "The Count of Monte Cristo". It takes a few chapters to pick up in pace, but once it does it just goes hard. I was not expecting it to be such a page turner with so many chapters ending on cliff hangers... it's so good. Not fantasy, sure, but it's amazing!
Someone already mentioned it but Nana is such a great anime, it's different than the typical romance. There's no fantasy and sadly it's been on hiatus since 2009, but the anime a kinda ending
Is the Dandelion Dynasty similar to the Kingdom anime/manga series? I recently read the second book in the series and I've been meaning to check out Kingdom anime.
Even The Promised Neverland manga didn't wrap everything up in a satisfying way in my opinion. Maybe you can say it lost focus or something. You can decide for yourself when you finish it.
The manga "Claymore " was truly awesome. The anime didn't cover le whole story and the ending wasn't the best. They should remake it.

U had me at anime.

Unfortunately it's never gonna be complete.

I never hear anyone talk about Claymore! The anime was good, but the manga was so awesome!

I was so disappointed by the second season of The Promised Neverland :( Totally agree that the first season is perfect! The whole manga is great too.

Literally watching this in the school parking lot with my son
I would totally love to see more in this series!
Oh my gosh, how did it not occur to me that Claymore and Witcher are so similar?? Clare even has similarly silver hair 😆
Oh man, now I want to re-read that whole manga series
Do you have any books recs for fans of attack on titan ?
Yes, do more of this type of videos for anime and manga please. I started in anime and manga community for years but since 2019/2020 I totally lost touch with it, and you just reminded me that Claymore is one of the manga I would like to read.

By the way, when you have the time, check out Golden Kamuy. I think you might like it.
The art of the prophecy sounds really cool! I will totally have to check it out
I got into vinland because of you, and I LOVE it.. love the characters so much, love seeing how the characters change over time. Need to check out claymore !! thank you
Thanks, I will check some of these out. I love Yu Yu Hakusho, InuYasha, DBZ... I'm kinda old school, so I think its time to explore more. :D
claymore is so cool loved it
You're speaking my love language.
Definetly need Attack on Titan manga recommendations for books!!!
Yikes that cover for Viking Warrior…why thought? 🤣🤣 I’m going to be picking up Shadow of the Fox finally next month so excited 👀
Oh neat, TPN is my favorite anime/manga and i was planning on reading the knife of never letting go way before finding tpn
Yes! I 100% agree with Shadow of the Fox. The entire time I was reading it, I was visualizing it as if I were watching an anime. I would love to see it adapted, honestly. If it was done well, of course 🤣
Elliot Brooks with the Books.
You should read "The long ships" by Frans G Bengtsson if you like Vinland Saga. The manga has several references to that book :) it is a 5/5
Great taste in manga/anime! XD
Claymore was awesome! I know that AoT has a similar twist, but considerind that Claymore was published first, it is a shame how it's not as popular.

I would also say the poppy war trilogy would be an awesome anime, and Steel Crow Saga too would be so cool (it’s literally described as Pokémon and Avatar hybrid)
I'd recommend a manga called "Shadows house" for a Promised Neverland fan.
I'd like to see more. Got anything for slice of life anime?
The Knife of Never Letting Go was recently adapted to a movie called Chaos Walking
If you want a revenge story, I have never read a better one than "The Count of Monte Cristo". It takes a few chapters to pick up in pace, but once it does it just goes hard. I was not expecting it to be such a page turner with so many chapters ending on cliff hangers... it's so good. Not fantasy, sure, but it's amazing!
The setting for The Promised Neverland also has a lot in common with Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go.
Someone already mentioned it but Nana is such a great anime, it's different than the typical romance. There's no fantasy and sadly it's been on hiatus since 2009, but the anime a kinda ending
Is the Dandelion Dynasty similar to the Kingdom anime/manga series? I recently read the second book in the series and I've been meaning to check out Kingdom anime.
For anyone who enjoys both fantasy books and shonen anime, I can't recommend the Cradle series by Will Wight enough.
Hello.
I really like your videos ❤
The promised neverland was awesome , so I think I'm gonna read The knife of never letting go.
I loved AOT!!! Any (book) recommendations based on that???
vinland saga is very popular lol
Even The Promised Neverland manga didn't wrap everything up in a satisfying way in my opinion. Maybe you can say it lost focus or something. You can decide for yourself when you finish it.
I am a simple man, I see anime, I give a like. Had not seen anime content before on this channel
The Knife of Never Letting Go has also been turned into a movie called Chaos Walking. Not an anime though.
Is noise adapted into a movie with Tom holland? It sounds exactly the same lol I don’t remember the name now.
Does anyone know how far the anime Vinland saga covers? Like if wanted to read on after the series ended (the prologue) what volume would I start at?
the anime ends at ch54
@@ibg_music7525 suh-weet! Thank you!
The knife of never letting go was made into a movie with tom holland
By the way, I think Mortal Engines would make a great anime
I’ve never read a manga 🥲
I got into them not long ago. The artwork really helps with telling the story
