Finished reading up to the latest translation- Only Kamachi would write a mecha story, yet not make the MC a pilot of said mecha, but still have him destroy them like a boss
The first [Heavy Object] volume came out by the end of 2009, around that time Index had it's first 'war' arc, I seeing some resemblance in the faster paced, larger scale conflict in both of them. In Heavy Object's case it's more streamlined, that is to say the bulk of each chapter, probably 80% is purely delegated to the conflict at hand, and every new chapter jumps to a different conflict in a different setting making it seem episodic. For now this is fine, it's all introductory. (Does anyone get the feeling he love introducing his settings and crazy ideas more than characters ) The remaining 20% is that good old Kamachi-style wackiness, epic tsukkomi lines, and romcom scenes The greatest WTF moment so far has to be the baby penguin intervention in the middle of the gunfight The two MC, Quenser in particular, is really worthy of carrying on the philosophy of 'Fukoda', both in landing themselves in to trouble and getting involved with troublesome girls. Quote:
Quenser on the other hand... Just doesn't quite get it Quote:
P.S - I know I said I would read the story first even if it's in Chinese, but between Heavy Object, Mahouka and Rental Magica, you would think I'm just trying torture myself mentally or something Why can't I just love the simple ones...?

By Studio 8 to be more especific, they did Horizon and now they're currently on Accel World.
EDIT: Volume.3,Chapter 3's title sound very epic: Honor is Priceless, and all the world knows already to not mess with men honor *emotional ;___;*. Last edited by Miraluka; 2012-06-08 at 13:36. |

still... i'm amazed how a makeshift demolition combat engineer could take out a huge object...
I mean its like those depictions in games about world war 2 in which instead of blasting the heavy tank with shitloads of cannons pointed at it, two soldiers just have to jump on the turret, open the hatch, blast the turret occupants and the base operators and then chug HE ordnance inside. btw... is Froleytia into Quenser later on? PLOX make it happen.

I've only read the manga. The series shows promise, but I'm not sure where it's going. Will probably make time to read the translated LNs soon.
Although for some odd reason the uniforms and gear in the manga version kept making me think of Battlefield 2142...
