This manga is so freaking awesome, it actually features characters that are 100% humane, people with all their dimensions, not just black and white, people from the whole fucking rainbow.
Thumbs up if you listen to 20th century boys while reading 20th Century Boys. I swear to god, this better be the opening song if they do make the anime.!
some people are too stupid to understand THIS VIDEO IS A TRIBUTE TO NAOKI URASAWA'S MANGA "20TH CENTURY BOYS" if you were only looking for T-REX's song go look somewhere else !!
Me estoi viendo la trilogia y voi en la segunda peli, las dimenciones que toma son realmente fantasticas , de lo mejor que e visto ste año. RECOMENDADISIMOOOOOOOO
@IanGainsborough I thought it crapped out halfway through. Urasawa might be good at creating interesting mysteries, but he doesn't do a good job with endings. Did you even care who Friend turned out to be? It was the most boring choice imaginable that did little to enlarge the story. Plus (I forget the main character's name) turning up alive and just being like "oh, I had amnesia", wtf was that?
Yeah, he probably ran out of ideas or something. The first 120/130 chapters are really good but after that it wasn't as interesting as before. Still one of my favourites though,
I'm 21. Like all other friends of mine, my interest are facebook, youtube, football, reality show, porn... Oh gosh, what's a bunch of losers.
Everybody was so cool 10 years ago. There's a guy who can fight 10 people at once, and I beat him once. Me and my classmates created a group called "Black blood", along with a spell which sounded very cool. We go discover everything, from haunted house on the mountain or school's library. I remember seeing ghost twice..
If you like this manga read Eden. Its like the post apocolyptic action version of this. Also I think the only flawed thing about the manga was Kenji comming back, all wierd and that.
Well, 20thCB is the most astonishing story ever told, not just the best manga ever.
The kids. The Book of prophecies. The Friend. Kenji. Katsumata. Sadakiyo. Fukubei. The masked kid. The giant robot. The virus. The ghost at school. Lieutenant Collins.
How many characters. How many emotions. What a terrible, hopeless, amazing story.
What a manga.
On your knees, gentlemen : this is a fuckin' masterpiece.
@friend5001 It's amazing how an old-school classic rock song conveyed such deep meaning to Urasawa and inspired him to create an epic mystery/suspense/sci-fi/drama manga series.
@knightking1360 thats seriously the most make sense comment ever i see in utube
20th century boys is in totally different levelt han mangas. so good it is i still don want to admit its my favorite manga, rather my favorite art fiction
At 2:03 There's a character just like Kenzo Tenma (above a cap reading MARS), and, Master Kaine is also quite similar to Tenma too, why is that he likes to repeat a siluet in his manga? BTW Naoki Urasawa rocks!
If we're talking about great mangas.. Berserk? Though it's getting a little too fantasy-like for my taste, now.. Still amazing :]. Gantz is good if you're into gore.. Shin Angyo Onshi. Eternal Sabbath (I haven't finished it though, so forgive me if it sucks completely O_o). etc. etc. Monster and Vagabond were already mentioned. ,_, Tenjou Tenge, Beck, Death Note.. You can go on and on. I like Team Medical Dragon, too.. /shrug. Are the movies for 20th Century Boys any good?
It begins after the first time skip (right after Otcho saves the mangaka's hand from being crushed) with Otcho recapping prior events.
What I liked: It's a pretty faithful adaption
What I didn't: some important characters (like Fukubei and God) were rushed. Also some of the events are altered, left out or done out of sequence. Plot also relies on viewer being familiar with the manga's story
@DimmuKornReflux You're seriously going to bring Death Note into account? That manga doesn't even compare to this at all. Seriously, I would bet my entire life on the fact that Death Note doesn't stand a chance against these incredible works of art.
Um, Death Note is just okay.. It's worth a read, that's it.
20th Century Boys. Also 'just okay,' in my opinion. I loved it, until every single fucking person who was supposed dead was alive in the end. It just ruined the whole manga. Them dying was the best thing that could have happened to this manga, and I could live with a few surviving to end "Friend," but not all of them.. It was a good manga, yes, but nowhere near as good as it could have been.
Also, Vagabond, Berserk, Shin Angyo Onshi, and Monster are much much better mangas than this. I realize Monster is by the same author, I'm just stating that this manga is complete shit in comparison to some others.
As far as I'm concerned, it's the greatest story I've ever read.
20th Century Boys is the manga that Urasawa WANTED to write, it's his baby. He made that exactly the way that he wanted it to be. For that reason, and because of my absolute support for him, I do not care about anyone's opinion that the story should have been different, or that it was even flawed for that matter.
Well, congradulations to him for writing the story that he wanted, but I would have done it differently, and in my opinion their deaths would have made the story much much better.
You're saying that this manga is perfect in your opinion, and you would change absolutely nothing about it if you could?
@DimmuKornReflux Yes. Upon my analysis, I found no flaws in the characters, the plot, the art direction, or the music.
He wrote the story to enforce certain narratives. The reason he didn't kill everyone off is because he wasn't going for a sad or psychological story, it's partly psychological, but not nearly as much as Monster or PLUTO.
I only judge things by their quality, because I see no justice in judging things any other way. I refuse to have a preference in how a story should be written.
No flaws? He killed off all of his characters, then brought them all back in a half-ass manner, for the most part. It seemed to me that he killed them off, and after allowing a few to live, decided he wanted them ALL back. Then just threw them around randomly in the story, trying to make the plot thereafter seem intelligent and planned out, when in reality he just threw shit together on impulse and made the story as he went along.
Also, it seems to me that you lack an opinion of your own. I doubt such is true, but it appears like that to me.
Obviously the story would be perfect if you thought of it only in the perspective of the author, and that it is exactly how he intended it to be (therefore is a masterpiece?).
Not having preferences in things isn't good. Sure, open-mindedness is a good quality to an extent, but you should at least take the time to form your own opinion about something rather
@DimmuKornReflux The only opinions I have are the ones that avoid holding personal preferences between genre, demographic, or theme.
My philosophy on art is based completely around judging a piece of work according to it's quality in every single area. The complexity of the characters, the flow of the plot, the character designs, the artwork, the symbolism, etc. The reason I do this is because I want to recommend works that are worth the time, unlike things such as Naruto or Soul Eater.
Hah, well, Naruto and Soul Eater are terrible. As well as most shounen, such as Bleach, Bakuman, etc.
I do however, like One Piece.
I stand true to my belief that not having personal preferences on anything whatsoever is a bad thing. Without your 'personal preferences,' you have hardly an opinion of your own, need I explain why that's a bad thing? You should prefer something over another, depending on YOUR likes, not the mangaka's.
@DimmuKornReflux I just don't believe in self-indulgence. I don't read a manga looking for it to be the way i want it to, I read it looking to be surprised or enlightened with the important lessons it has to teach, and to become attached to the realistic characters.You yourself said that Naruto sucks. If you are merely saying that because you don't personally enjoy it, then you shouldn't even say anything at all. There's a difference between saying, "I dislike that" and "that sucks".
Also, I'm glad he made the manga the way he wanted to, and that is admirable. But if I could change anything about the manga, there would be A LOT of aspects I'd change in the storyline.
I would form it into what I like, and would enjoy doing it.
How can you criticize me for wanting to change a story to my likings, based on my 'personal preferences (which you don't seem to have), when the mangaka created the manga based on HIS preferences.. And is a genius to you for it.
@DimmuKornReflux It's not perfect because it's the way he wanted it to be. It's perfect because he's a genius with masterful writing skills.
But it would not have been nearly as good if he wasn't enjoying himself. Writing that manga was important to him, and doing what he wants to do before his fans is very essential to the overall quality of the work.
@AssholePatrol Yup im reading Vagabond and loving it. Im not finished with it though. I read online and cant seem to find the last chapters. know any sites that have the completed set?
@lmk10000 man then u shud watch the movies wihich has some backstory drops and everything but u know no major differences timings are different but u know the people who die still die.
Should Kenji really of came back? I loved his character and of course everyone wanted him to come back I duno kind of seemed a little bit 'cheap' bringing him back as a weirdo lol
i watched the feature film with real people when i lived in japan.. its so good, i loved it! and the characters actually looked like the ones in the manga
Wholeheartedly agree with all the Urasawa praise. Monster, 20th/21st Century Boys, and Pluto all rule. His new manga, Billy Bat, looks quite promising as well.
I hope they make animes out of 20/21cb and Pluto (And maybe someday Billy Bat) like they did with Monster, which I felt was a perfect adaption from manga to anime.
Hear that Powers That Be!? More Urasawa anime adaptions! The movie trilogy isn't enough! :-P
Late, but I can honestly say that I was not lying. I'm a fairly fast reader! Granted, when I say "one night", I meant from around 8-9 pm to around 4 am. :>
NAOKI URASAWA IS A FUCKING GENIUS! ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE A MANGA FAN AND HASN'T READ THIS, IS A DICK! yeah, he's just that good. words cant describe how fucking sensational this comic is, completely life changing. What a manga-ka.
Just finished 20th Century Boys today... I couldn't stop reading it... it was so good. Now I'm sad It's over...
I will read Pluto in a few days... don't really feel like reading anything after reading 20th Century Boys... I feel like nothing could match up to how great it is.
The characters in this mange were great, unlike most mangas... they actually seemed real. I loved how it took place between 1969-2014 it made me feel like I knew the characters... like I grew up with them even.
One of my favorite bands, and one of my favorite songs before the manga. I'm glad to have been part of such a fantastic story after reading the manga.
This manga is truly the greatest I have ever read in my life, the way everything comes together so beautifully. The author is truly a genius, if you enjoyed this please read Pluto also a masterpiece. Words just cannot describe how good this manga is. I haven't watched the movie yet but I am looking forward to.
Tacomunchz you are right Pluto is a fucking master piece I especially like Gesicht, also this manga is a masterpiece to. If you do not like this manga I will find were you live and drop kick you in the neck.
20th century boys and Monster are both masterpieces written by Urasawa Naoki, I liked 20th CB even more thn monster till chapter 140. or so. The second friend was a stupiid idea, he could have ended it with the dead of fukubei but he didnt. After that , it was still cool but... the tension was gone. Even so, this is one of the best manga ive ever read.
nice man, u also showed us the chapter with the tournament:P Nagava Rabbit or something like that?
o no, i have to disagree. i liked how the original friend was matsukata-kun or whatever. i think thats how it ended in 21rst century boys. anyway, i liked it because you never really hear much about him and thats kinda why fukubei was pissed and all. not only did kenji and everyone forget matsu but they hardly even put him in the story so it makes you feel like you didnt know him also. any, it kicked ass
It kicked ass but: the ufo's and the anti-preton bomb were just stupid. When Kenji returned I thought: wow, great! But I didnt like Kenji at all (when he returned). He thought he was a god or something. I repeat: is is still one of the best ever written, I really enjoyed it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I liked the manga very much... But sometimes the situations just don´t make any sense. Like when they met the Friend for the last time... "He´s a mass murder son of a bitch... But instead of killing him I´m gonna give him a hug!". I truly liked the manga, but it could be better.
To everyone wondering, the first movie won't be subbed until it comes out fresh in DVD quality, which will be on January 30th. Even then, it could be a while before they sub it.
I admire the characters development on 20th century boys. The number of characters are massive, sometimes it might be hard to keep tracking who's who.. but once you get a grip on the story (and not skipping pages), it's pretty easy to follow. Every character has its own story... even small character does! It's amazing.. 20th Century Boys are.

@knightking1360 , i totally agree about Naoki Urasawa being a genius !! Shame on who hasn't read his mangas yet, especially 20th century boys ;)
It's a pity all movies extracted from books or manga don't match their excellence though...

Just finished 20th Century Boys today... I couldn't stop reading it... it was so good. Now I'm sad It's over...
I will read Pluto in a few days... don't really feel like reading anything after reading 20th Century Boys... I feel like nothing could match up to how great it is.
The characters in this mange were great, unlike most mangas... they actually seemed real. I loved how it took place between 1969-2014 it made me feel like I knew the characters... like I grew up with them even.

This manga is truly the greatest I have ever read in my life, the way everything comes together so beautifully. The author is truly a genius, if you enjoyed this please read Pluto also a masterpiece. Words just cannot describe how good this manga is. I haven't watched the movie yet but I am looking forward to.

SPOILER:
20th century boys and Monster are both masterpieces written by Urasawa Naoki, I liked 20th CB even more thn monster till chapter 140. or so. The second friend was a stupiid idea, he could have ended it with the dead of fukubei but he didnt. After that , it was still cool but... the tension was gone. Even so, this is one of the best manga ive ever read.
nice man, u also showed us the chapter with the tournament:P Nagava Rabbit or something like that?
dhoulmagus11 2 years ago
o no, i have to disagree. i liked how the original friend was matsukata-kun or whatever. i think thats how it ended in 21rst century boys. anyway, i liked it because you never really hear much about him and thats kinda why fukubei was pissed and all. not only did kenji and everyone forget matsu but they hardly even put him in the story so it makes you feel like you didnt know him also. any, it kicked ass
gsboss 2 years ago
It kicked ass but: the ufo's and the anti-preton bomb were just stupid. When Kenji returned I thought: wow, great! But I didnt like Kenji at all (when he returned). He thought he was a god or something. I repeat: is is still one of the best ever written, I really enjoyed it.
dhoulmagus11 2 years ago
auug! spoiler... ;3;

I supose you mean 21th boys. In wich case I must agree with you. 21th boys was nowhere near as good as 20th boys.

I don't think 21th boys exists xD jkjk
21st century bots was like a follow-up, it just answered some unfinished things.

I liked the manga very much... But sometimes the situations just don´t make any sense. Like when they met the Friend for the last time... "He´s a mass murder son of a bitch... But instead of killing him I´m gonna give him a hug!". I truly liked the manga, but it could be better.

To everyone wondering, the first movie won't be subbed until it comes out fresh in DVD quality, which will be on January 30th. Even then, it could be a while before they sub it.

I admire the characters development on 20th century boys. The number of characters are massive, sometimes it might be hard to keep tracking who's who.. but once you get a grip on the story (and not skipping pages), it's pretty easy to follow. Every character has its own story... even small character does! It's amazing.. 20th Century Boys are.
