Thread: I’m looking for some GREAT- to- sub par post apocalyptic / nuclear war/ crazy future

yup, manga like blame, deep dark, and full of gore. anybody have any sugestions?

So you're not looking for Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou?

Not manga, but I just started watching it last night: Future Boy Conan, a television series from the 70s directed by Miyazaki before he graduated to feature movies. It's like a first draft of Laputa in some ways, only set 20 years after the apocalypse (which btw took place a year ago last July -- somehow I missed seeing it happen).

Ergo Proxy and Texhnolyze are obvious suggestions. Both are animes though, no idea if they have manga.

Don't bother, YKK is lost on someone with immature tastes.

I haven't read it, so I don't know if its a match, but try EDEN.

well i just want to say i'm not a huge fan of the older animation styles, but i am looking for some really cool manga

If it wasn't for the post-apocalyptic requirement, I would have suggested Claymore, or any of the half-dozen gory fantasy anime. Somehow, fantasy tends to be more bloody than sci-fi.

Wait... are you looking for anime (moving pictures) or manga (comics)?

1. Coppelion

2. Bio Meat!

manga like blame, deep dark, and full of gore.

Of course you should try all the other things by the same author, if you haven't already.

If you have, then go grab DOROHEDORO.

it's deep dark, it's full of gore, and it's quite postapocalyptic.
The chick who writes and draws it worked previously as a Tsutomu Nihei's assistant.
She worked on Blame! too.

Her narration style and drawings feel quite different than Niheis, but occasionally his influence is visible.
