Manga Reviews for the Initiated
Here's a blogger who's reviewing manga from a more informed perspective
than mine:
Mitch
H. reviews Dark Horse's Hellsing. (And in a
similar-but-reversed vein of complaint, I note that Mitch's review
isn't very useful for me, a manga newbie, since it doesn't tell me much
about the manga itself. But the review may be useful for fans
wondering how the manga compares to the anime.)
EDITED TO ADD: Mitch has since upgraded his review to
include more background information on the
Hellsing
series. (I'd like to clarify that I wasn't trying to press Mitch
to flesh out his review. I was just trying to make a point about
different reviews being useful for different audiences. But I do
appreciate his adding more info about the series -- it definitely makes
me more interested in checking out the manga now. It also makes
me realize how often I "review" something without recapping the basic
plot for readers who might be unfamiliar with the work.)
