2 Comments on Vertical Inc: Bringing You Emo Manga Since 2007!

I got some random bookmarks in a recent press package from Vertical Inc. One for Apollo’s Song and another for To Terra. I actually read the text on the bookmarks today (because really, who can be bothered to read?) and I caught this delightful gem. The bookmark reads:

To Terra… The hit sci-fi emo manga by shoujo-master Keiko Takemiya.

How freaking awesome is that!? Emo manga? Seriously. This is by far the coolest bookmark I’ve ever possessed. I haven’t seen the To Terra anime at all… Does it have Weezer playing in the background or something? I would love it if the ED theme was the sweater song.

Also, I wish my hair was emo. Then it’d cut itself.

I got the Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Volume 2 DVD, really hoping that it’d be better than the first (which was the replacement one since the first first one was really really bad). So has Illumitoon improved on its wacky DVD making skills?

The Galaxy Angel saga continues with the Galaxy Angel Beta series. But if it’s “beta,” wouldn’t that suggest a prequel of sorts? And what happened to alpha? Unless the original was an implied alpha…

I saw the first episode of the anime version of Eternal Alice Rondo back in January of last year, but I never watched past the first episode. I’ve had the manga version lying around and I figured I should give the series another shot.

To be honest, I don’t have much experience watching Highlander stuff. I think I may have seen part of a movie, and maybe an episode of the TV show. The OP totally rocked! Anyway, I just got this anime version in the mail so I figured I’d pop it in my DVD player and check it out.

Remember that anime, 009-1, that came out in the Fall and went largely ignored? Me either! Apparently ADV licensed it! And they just put a site up for it! I had no idea until Natalie Lane shot me an email about it.

I pretty much gave the anime no attention last Fall, but I checked out the trailers on the site, and it actually looks okay. And by that, I mean it has panty shots and voluptuous cyborgs. The jury is still out on the character design, though. I guess I’ll have to , y’know, watch the anime to make an informed descision…

The second volume of Alien Nine manga definitely takes the action and kicks it up a few notches! But don’t worry, there’s also enough emo crying to please fans of that genre, too!

The psychological warfare continues in Death Note Volume 4 with an added bonus: Misa Misa! That’s right, the manga finally has a cute character. Besides Ryuk, of course.

If you know me, you know that I pretty much worship Disgaea. I like the games, the company that makes the games (Nippon Ichi!), and to an extent, the manga and anime spinoffs. I just recently got the Disgaea anime from Geneon, so the “missing link” in my Disgaea reviews has finally been obtained.

The neverending struggle between Boogiepop and the Imaginator finally comes to a conclusion in part 2 of Boogiepop Returns. I guess that means it wasn’t really neverending…
