Shitttttt

I'm thinking 20th Century Boys
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Didn't we already do a best villain tournament just a year ago or so?

Pharass expressed interest in doing another one.

It ended in June 2011. I, for one, would be down for another Villain Tournament since I never participated in it (before I joined dontcha know).  :humhumhum:

Sorry for dragging this out, I just wanted to make sure that everyone who was interested had gotten a chance to vote before I wrapped this up. Anyway, here it is, the winner of the coveted title of Animation Revelation's Greatest Manga Series:

Monster



A well-deserved victory, indeed. I should probably write something in detail about the winner, but at the moment I'm not sure what to write. Is there anything I can say about this comic that's not stating the obvious? It's Monster, one of the finest tales that the ninth art-form has given us and the magnum opus of a genius storyteller. Thank you, Naoki Urasawa. Thank you.

And thank you to all of you who participated in this tournament. I hope you enjoyed it, I certainly did.
In every age
In every place
The deeds of men
Remain the same.

It's my 2nd favorite manga of all time, and yeah, it deserves its victory. I'm still glad to see that 20th Century Boys made it to 2nd place, though.

Like there was any doubt who would win.  :awesome:

No, really, Monster does deserve that title. It's not my absolute most favorite manga (it's 7th), but it's definitely the most well-crafted and well-written story the medium has seen, or at least I've seen from the medium. This was a fun competition, and it actually got me to check out a lot of manga I had never read before, which is a plus. With this done, though, it seems we are back to just one competition after all this time...

Monster won the Greatest Comic Book competition, right?

I'm pretty sure that was Watchmen, actually.
