Would you consider this nerdy and a waste of time?

Postby Tommy » Wed Feb 22, 2006 6:57 pm

Okay, so I`ve read into Trigun. Checked Volumes 1 and 2 out of the library.
They were good reads, but I couldn`t find Maximum in library ANYWHERE or any manga scans on the internet.

So I walk into Borders to pick up Maximum Vol.1. Got it out of the shelf and started reading.

Finshed.

Max Vol. 2

Finished.

Max Vol.3

Finished.

Skip to...

Volume 8. Finished.

I sat there for almost two hours doing nothing but reading manga. Talk about addicting! I read all 8 volumes.

Here`s a question:

In Japan, how man volumes are there of Max and when is Volume 9 coming out?

And I have another question:

[Spoiler] In the ending of normal Trigun Vol.2, Vash is obviously reduced to nothing or this that just his metal parts? He just jumps right back in like he was never destroyed. [/Spoiler]

BTW, it took me 20 minutes to read each volume. It took me 10 minutes to read Volume 6.

Keep in mind, I read Max 1-8 in one sitting. I already read the two normal ones prior.

lol. well im not a good judge of nerdyness, being a geek/nerd myself. but as for a waste of time, it depends, do you honestly have anything better to do? lol, it's nice to relax and do something for yourself sometimes... sometimes i take a night to myself and read a manga and watch xfiles or something

Not if Trigun has any literary value (and I can't judge the manga, having not read it). It would be easy for someone to spend an equivalent amount of time reading a book, attending a sporting event, or sitting in traffic. If it is moderately enjoyable and involves your mind on at least some level, it isn't a waste of your time.

The fact that you could finish a graphic novel that fast pretty much makes Trigun Maximum a waste of time in the first place.

If you find it enjoyable, then no, I don't think it's a waste of time.

According to AoD's charts, Volume 9 comes out May 3rd.
As far as how many volumes there are, It appears that there are 14 volumes so far.

Trigun is never a waste of time, never! The manga rocks..

Your library has manga? Thats awesome. Mine sucks cause Ive looked everywhere and all they have is a book on how to draw Manga. That would be good if I could anything better than stick figures.
Come see me on Myspace if you want to and if you want to add me to your buddy list send me a note saying your from CAA otherwise Ill probably just end up ignoring you.

I hate to address you publically, Monkey J Luffy, but in this case I will. Your post (now deleted) was spam of the lowest order. Kindly refrain from such in the future.
