Is this series underrated?
>>154644301
What is it
Yes
t. somebody who spent 5 hours a day for a month and a half dumping the entire manga because of how underrated it is
>>154644338
One of the few long running battle shonens that never becomes bloated garbage and only improves the further in you get

Gash Bell
(or Zatch Bell if you're american)
Yes, I saw it when I was child but i still love it
>>154644489
>saw
the anime is shit aside from the OST, please do yourself a favor and read the manga, you are missing out on top tier art, and an unbutchered faudo arc and the actual ending
>>154644339
Thanks for doing that anon. It was quite a ride reading it along with everyone.
>>154645095
no problem, glad you enjoyed it.
>>154644301
Yes. It's fucking gold. The dump was one of my favorite times on /a/.
>>154644339
Dumpman, I spent an hour a day making shitty Gash Bell edits, and I can never thank you enough.
>>154644301
I hate the puppet characters and tried 3 times to get into it but couldn't
I did like Doubutsu no kuni though.

What volume did you get to in the furtherest in you went?
Gash is great and avoids pacing bloat unlike most long running battle shonen, but it does having pacing issues in that the first 11 volumes are all not particularly better then average villian of the week stuff and it doesn't move into actual plot related, arc based stuff untill volume 12, at which point it actually starts to get really good with fights becoming more strategic, and better art, like in pic related and in >>154644947
Is there a character that could even possibly EVEN TOUCH Clear Note? Let alone defeat him. And I’m not talking about Base form Clear note. I’m not talking about Second form clear note with the power of Shin Kuria Seunousu Baadorerugo. Hell, I’m not even talking about 100% Final form clear note with both Shin Kuria Seunousu Baadorerugo and Shin Kuria Seunousu Zarefedoora's powers absorbed. I'm talking about Shin Kuria Seunousu possessed complete form Clear Note with the Vino supplying unlimited heart power and even then his power being cut in half via the magical protective barrier around him that still managed to beat the Dufort Answer talker trained Gash and Brago with their True final form Bao Zakeruga and Shin Baberuga Gravidon.

A lot of earlier shounen are. Remember Kekkaishi?
Yes. The characters were really interesting.
do i read or watch this?
>>154646622
Read the manga. Watch the anime openings, endings, and songs.
>>154646622
Read the manga, and just look up clips of the anime for the songs (chichi oppai, Coral Q's songs, pattie's introduction, ironman folgore, Boing Boing's song) as well as the sync videos that sync up the anime OST to key scenes of the manga that never got animated

just keep in mind these have spoilers, so don't watch them till after you've read the manga
