Hey guys! I wrote my own review! Please tell me what you think.
----------
It’s been some time since I last read any Excel Saga. I believe at one point I quickly glanced at the back of the box of the second disc of the anime when it was first released by ADV, so that would have been in 2002.
Anyway, The Excel Saga is the latest arc in the Dragon Ball series. However, unlike the original series, it is written and drawn by Shinichi Koshi instead of Ken Akamatsu. This is evident right away because the female characters actually look like women.
Anyway, The Excel Saga picks up right where The Cell Saga left off. It is about an Italian man living in Fukushima who plans to travel
across the ocean to New York and conquer the world from there (hence why his organization is called Across; clever, right?).
Anyway, this is my review of Volume 22. To start off, I have several beefs with this series. First of all, Viz advertises this as an action manga (as to be expected from a DBZ spin-off), but it’s actually more focused on dialogue. This would be okay if it wasn’t so unrealistic. This is my second point. For one thing, how does the blue-haired girl make her hair go all spirally like that? Also, why is her hair purple in all the fan-art I’ve seen when it is distinctly blue on the cover? Also, I have seen a picture of her with two penises. Is this canon?
The other characters make equally as little sense. Why are there two of the blonde chick? One of them is funny and the other one isn’t. I like the funny one more because she is funny and also cuter. Also, why does Hi-Hat keep vomiting blood? That happened to me one time when I ate a raw steak. Maybe she shouldn’t eat raw steaks. There is also a man named Cowboybebop who has a big mustache and likes to bribe government officials. Is he Democrat or Republican? I think Republicans probably have bigger mustaches most of the time but Democrats are more likely to give out bribes. Maybe he is Green Party. Also, why does the scientist stare at all the little girls in the park? Maybe his daughter is missing and he is looking for her. One time my daughter wandered off in H-E-B and it took me 5 minutes to find her. She was in the frozen food aisle holding a Totino’s pizza. I put it back and bought Red Baron instead. It was good and did not make me vomit blood.
My biggest problem with this series is that it’s not very accessible to new readers. They could do a better job explaining what happened last time instead of expecting me to spend money on the previous books. I am a busy man you know and I do not have time to read every manga out there! That’s like when I skip 3 or 4 volumes of Berserk at a time because I know that no matter where I jump in I can see blood and tits. I like blood and tits because I am a hetero man who likes hetero things. I would fuck Cascka but I would not fuck Elgarlrla because she has two penises.
Overall I would give this book 2 purple mustaches out of 5 because I did not want to have sex with any of the characters and not enough people died.
