Nabari no Ou manga and anime discrepincies

[pantzonfire]

I don't know if anyone here has followed any of the manga...
But I've been a big fan ever since it was first scanslated. Miharu is my hero.

That being said, having watched the anime, i'm severely disappointed. They've left out anything that remotely indicates Miharu's growing ninja powers, which in the manga, appear in chapter 3 and SHOULD HAVE started in episode 2.
Instead, Miharu's just good at running and hiding behind people. Which is lame.

Anywho, i came here because i know Franky House had asked SZJ-Scans if they could pick up the manga, but SZJ said they're still working on it and planned to have a new chapter out "every couple of weeks". Granted they just released a chapter yesterday... but their pace has been erratic. The release before this was 3 weeks prior. and the release before that was 3 months prior!

The anime is catching up, and i know i'd much rather read the manga.
Hogwash, i say! Who's with me!

Well the policy of FH is that we don't steal manga that other groups are scanlating even though the manga is done in a pretty slow pace the only thing that would be fair to do is to make an offer of joint projects between the 2 groups but since FH is lacking staff we can't take anymore projects...so sorry about that but if we get a few more cleaners, typesetters and translators it will have a good chance of being picked up as a joint project with SZJ...sorry I like that manga as well but we can't do anything about it now :(

It´s not unusual to find that an anime is going a different way than the original manga. it happened to Claymore and Kure-nai (just to say some)
it interesting to check the differences and try to increase the expierence in that way.
if you dont like one or the other u can always drop watching or reading... just be patient like we were with Claymore... ^^.
Good luck with that.... (im a fan of the nime though)

I understand. Stealing projects is kind of douche-y...

But honestly, I see the anime going in a shounen series path. Where there's power ups and filler arcs and then more power ups and stuff like that. It'll start out following the manga, and then turn to crap once it catches up. Each episode is 10 minutes of real action/plot development and the rest is exchanging glances. That's my real concern. It would be a shame to see Nabari no Ou to turn into something like that. (apologies to people who like that sort of thing... >_>)

Anyway, if SZJ decides to team up, i'm game! See my work as editor and typesetter at http://www.gekkoukanhigh.com. I'm superspazmizu, working on both projects there.
