Giganto Maxia

Product Information

Gigantomaquia” es el trabajo más reciente de Kentaro Miura, el ya reconocido autor de Bersek y nos cuenta la historia de un mundo desolado, donde la vida apenas crece y se encuentra en constante guerra. En este mundo, nuestros protagonistas se enfrentan a los gigantes para restaurar el equilibrio en la tierra. One thing I think is needed to warn you at this point is that in the same way that the story doesn't contain many detailed explanations, names also do not have. So don't get too stressed with names, just keep reading that it will gradually make sense and the direction is then shown.

The plot follows the two main characters Delos and Prome as they wander through a desert and eventually end up in a village of 'bug people'. Pero más allá del dibujo, no se puede menospreciar un guion muy competente con un mundo que aunque parte de una premisa muy típica, atrapa por completo y llama mucho la atención, con una construcción de personajes protagonistas y unos diálogos que recuerdan porque Miura es un grande y que no solo de su dibujo vive este hombre, pues eso sería quedarse en lo superficial al ser un autor que destaca no solo en ese si no en todos los aspectos, cosa que aquí sigue dejando bien clara. La historia, a pesar del planteamiento tan interesante que tiene, no es la gran cosa, pero cumple con su cometido de entretener y está bastante equilibrada en cuanto a drama, humor y acción, mientras que el ritmo de la lectura se mantiene hasta el final.

I had a great time reading it.Se puede ver una inspiración muy clara en el género tokusatsu tan querido en Japón, consistente en enfrentamientos de seres gigantes o de seres que pueden aumentar su tamaño a nivel colosal (como en Ultraman o los Power Rangers), nos presenta este mundo tan característico sazonado con una ensalada de hostias titánicas que en ese sentido puede recordar mucho a Ataque a los Titanes, serie que quizás terminó de darle ganas a Miura de realizar esta obra.

Kentaro Miura decided to write this one-shot during the hiatus of his best-known manga Bersek, probably to clear his mind, since Bersek is being written since 1989! The story itself mixture Greek mythology with something like a futuristic mode and post-apocalyptic - or as stated in the manga: after the Great Extinction. And if giants After the dramatic opening, Miura starts the story in a desert, with the two protagonists interacting suddenly. At first it seems a rather confusing approach, but it does not take long until you can feel relate to both of them and already feel a certain familiarity, even if there is not much explanation about who they are, where they came from and so on. They are Delos, a small, silly, strong, good-hearted man, and Prome, a mysterious girl with supernatural powers that does not seem to fit very well in the definitions of the existing forms of life. In North America, the series was licensed for English release by Dark Horse Comics. [9] The collected volume was released on February 3, 2016. [10] No. First off, fans of “Berserk” were reportedly pissed when this series appeared. At first they were mad because they wanted more “Berserk,” but later they were angry because “Giganto Maxia” turned out to be a one-off project, despite the fact that Miura left the door open for more adventures.What I feel that is relevant to comment is: In general, the manga is very well done, well designed (Miura is mainly known for his mastery of the art of drawing), well thought out even for a one-shot, where the plot is always fast. But it was exciting to read some parts of the story like the way that Delos reacted in front of confrontational situations, making him kinda like the perfect and typical example of a true hero. Not the "perfect" hero that often is used, and that means that perfection is not always free of flaws or even aesthetic perfection. There is a logical explanation for kinda everything in the manga, including Delos's way of act, so it's nice to see that there is a deconstruction of the completely-perfect-heroism that we often see in mangas, comic books and even movies. Interestingly, Delos would be the classic Japanese hero style: strong, pure and honorable. Giganto Maxia Debuts This Winter At Dark Horse". Dark Horse Comics. August 25, 2016.

Giganto Maxia is set in a world "100 million years after the Great Destruction". The "Great Destruction" seems to be some kind of explosion caused by an ecological imbalance that wiped out a lot of species. A lot of humans seem to have survived, but undergo some modifications as their bodies adapt to the now harsher and unforgiving environment. Also, there are now beings of different capabilities with strange biological and physical makeup. Pasando a hablar ya del manga en sí, tenemos justo lo que puede esperarse: un dibujo absolutamente magnífico que aunque ya es de la época en la que Miura pasó al dibujo digital, perdiendo con ello un poco de nivel y cambiando su estilo a peor, no deja de ser excelso y de desencajar la mandíbula, en especial con esos dibujos a página completa y a doble página de los que está repleto. Un deleite visual y artístico con parajes y seres de auténtica fantasía y pesadilla que sin duda llevan su sello. Energy Saver ( エネルギー 効 ( こう ) 率 ( りつ ) , Enerugī Kōritsu ?): Gigantomachia's fifth Quirk allows his body to function on very small amounts of nutrition and hydration, allowing him to fully function on a minimal amount of sleep. [10] [2] The world-building is fascinating, it has so many cool elements in this post-apocalyptic setting: big bugs, human mutation, Roman-esque empire, giants and wrestling. The two leads are human fighter and inhuman/goddess/alien girl who can grant super powers and to heal. Third off, the two main characters. Delos is a manly man wrestler, a former gladiator now in league with (in service to?) a mysterious female spirit/construct named Prome. There is a symbiotic relationship between the two that never gets fully explained. But ummmmm…..Prome has to urinate on Delos to heal him, or make him drink….what’s that? Bit over the top perhaps? It’s a perfectly good kink but not necessarily YOUR kink, you say? Don’t worry, there is nothing sexual about it, thank goodness. But yeah…..she pees on him. And no need to wonder what’s in that water skin at the end of the story…..yeah, I’ll just leave that there and we’ll move on, ‘k?The manga focuses mainly on the two main characters Prome, a girl with magic powers, and Delos, a wrestler hired by Prome for an unknown purpose that becomes clearer as the story goes on. In 1990, the first volume Berserk was released with a relatively limited success. Miura again collaborated with Buronson on manga entitled Japan. Miura's fame grew after Berserk began "The Golden Age" story arc and the huge success of this masterpiece made of him one of the most prominent contemporary manga artists. There are no big "whys" or life lessons to take away from Giganto Maxia - at least that's what I think. However, the excitement levels and the interestingness of the story is something fantasy, sci-fi and post-apocalyptic junkies will scream for joy over. Giganto Maxia will be big. There is no doubt about it.
