Just from the little bit I've seen, isn't it more like if every single character was Kamina in Feudal era Japan?

Started reading Gantz, at the start of the second "session".
I like it, since gore and nudity don't bother me at all.

No, there's plenty of mooks. Very, very brave mooks, apparently.

But yes, every lord, lieutenant and special agent is somewhere between Kamina and Superman.

It's a show for the people who loved Kamina and then wondered "What would an anime be like if all the major characters were Kamina?"
Also, engrish. Beautiful engrish.

Now I've caught up completely on Berserk and there is no more to read, at least until more comes out.
Definitely my favorite series. And the first movie should be translated soon(ish?) hopefully, so there is that to look forward to.
Sengoku Basara I also wrapped up today, and man, that was the most ridiculously hotblooded show I've ever seen.
It's like if Kamina was born in feudal Japan and had an army.
Awesome.  Now that Fukumoto is all cleared I'll need to finish up with Berserk.  I have Vinland Saga and Basara downloaded too.  So much awesome war.

Speaking of war.  Sengoku Rance is incredibly devious.  I'll need to give some backstory.
Spoiler: some spoilers though (click to show/hide)
I also would like to point out how many commanders I have.  It's so great.  I've had like five die but permanent death doesn't matter when THERE'S A NEVER-ENDING FLOW OF COMMANDERS


EDIT:
It's so ridiculous.

So many questions from a single picture...

This game is increasingly interesting. Is it multi-generational like Fire Emblem 4 or Record of the Agarest War?

Goodness everyone is soo easily intimidated in Anime even when they arn't being threatened with bodily harm.

Mind you I know why. As Detective Conan demonstrated, Japan has the highest murder rate in the world. So people in Japan are afraid that they will be killed at any moment.

So I'm getting into this habit of getting the OST of anything I find remotely entertaining just to see how the music stands up by itself.

I didn't think Assemble Insert's OST was going to be anything special, but then the sweet ass saxophone solo kicks in and I'm hooked.

As far I as know, no.

One interesting parallel is that Rance VII, which is definitely the most popular and the first to get fully translated in English I think?  If my Fire Emblem knowledge is correct Fire Emblem 7 was also the first game localized into English.

Sevens.

I got Rance up and going. I'm a little bit jarred by the lack of tutorial, but we'll see where this takes me.

I still have no idea what anything does.

A road full of war, laughter and debauchery....Rance's path is chuck full of those three.
I still have no idea what anything does.
Ironically applies to all three as well...

I am becoming increasingly more impressed how unreliable the protagonist's perspective is in Chaos;Head.  I'm on chapter 7, this is getting silly.
Spoiler: Chapter 7 is titled (click to show/hide)
