If only all the manga had the tone of the third volume it would be better. The end is pretty good in my opinion.
Thanks guys.
Thank you for telling me that, i'll look forward to the other manga series i didn't knew existed.
I thought it was the original manga and then was logically very disapointed to see how much different (in a really worse way) it was from the serie i watched in my youth.
I'm really relieved now
I'm involved in translating this manga (translation checker to be precise) and even I feel the same way about this. It's an utter pain to work on, trust me. There is a reason we're working on it, but I don't care to disclose it here.
You might be interested to know, though, that this isn't the original Grendizer manga by Nagai. This is basically the retelling of some random guy named Gosaku Outa, who's literally done nothing but rehash the robot classics of Go Nagai (and Starzinger for some reason). I haven't read the original Grendizer manga by Nagai, but I'm guessing it's far better than this. Nagai did create the TV series as well as the original manga, so you might still like it; it's been translated by Dynamic Pro scanlations if you want to check it out.
When i was a kid, in the end of the seventies there was a TV serie based on Go Nagai's Grendizer, the characters (and the serie) had different names in my country (that i still find better than the original names actually)
I was a complete fan of it as a child.
I had never read the manga version until now that i find this on Batoto, and the less i can say is that i'm far from impressed.
That's the 1st time i see that occuring : i simply find that manga version vastly inferior in nearly every ways (characterisation, dialogues, tone) to the tv animated serie of my youth.
No dramatic tone (those stupid jokes really does not help), the characters have no gravitas (the comical cartoony art on it again does not help) etc... that's really disapointing to see the manga so completely different from the fantastic tv serie.
At least i still have my memories of that old tv animated serie adaptation, what an awesome serie it was for a kid, and i'm really happy the guys that adapted this manga into the animated serie changed it nearly completely, it would have never been as great if it was a direct port of that manga.
