0:06
What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
0:09
talk. I'm your host, Robert and today,
0:12
today, I'm sneaking in one last little treat to end off spooky
0:17
season with one of my favorite newer series.
0:24
Die, dark. Now Donna.
0:28
Dork is a Sci-fi horror comedy series from the Arthur q hashida
0:44
hayashida q. Hayashida.
0:46
Who a lot of. You also might know as the
0:49
Creator behind door. Oh, hey, door.
0:52
Oh, so and it honestly, even if you didn't know that offhand
1:01
like as soon as you see like some of the art and stuff, It is
1:06
like very apparent. That is, like, okay, this
1:10
definitely gives me some Dora he door revives.
1:15
But yeah. So I'm not gonna hold out too
1:17
long. Um, and also this series is
1:19
published by seven seas. Because this is you're gonna be
1:26
more of like a quick recommendation thing because I
1:29
have talked about died dark literally a year ago when I read
1:34
the first two volumes and I decided to hold off because I
1:39
saw like through these calendar for the volumes and they're only
1:43
doing maybe like two volumes a year.
1:45
So three and four came out this year, 2022.
1:49
And then Volume 5 isn't coming out to March of next year.
1:52
So I'm like, you know what? Just wait and read s0.
1:59
So, yeah. So that's what I did.
2:00
I ended up rereading volumes 1 & 2 again, before diving into
2:05
three and four. But so, I know you're asking,
2:09
okay? Robert, you're smiling, you're
2:11
happy about this stuff but what is Da dark.
2:15
So dark follows our main character zaha Socko Who we, we
2:26
still don't really know why. But Legend tells it that if you
2:32
are able to acquire his bones, then you will get any wish that
2:39
you want. Granted now, like I said, don't
2:42
really know why or was real origin and stuff is.
2:46
But that's a pretty interesting setup.
2:49
And like, I showed kind of like four main characters.
2:54
Series that the series of follows is psycho himself is
3:04
Peggy. I think it's a avakian and might
3:09
be remembering the name, right? My favorite character shemitah,
3:20
who is also a spoiler best girl cuz but beneath this terrorizing
3:29
looking menacing cloak is a very very hot death lady and then The
3:42
fourth guy. Did I think his name is?
3:46
I Demi Moore and so each of these people have some very
3:51
crazy stuff going on so they me Mauro he's more or less
3:57
seemingly Immortal because he's getting like body split in half
4:02
all this stuff and he keeps coming back.
4:04
He keeps adapting to different environments that he's saying.
4:08
Like I said, she murder is literally death and she just
4:13
loves going around just like Sting our souls and stuff and
4:17
they're psycho, he's just trying to live his best life.
4:21
He loves him a girl. Meatball sandwich or a meat
4:27
which as he likes to call it and stuff.
4:30
So, but, but yeah. But overall, like this series,
4:36
it truly is funny. It truly is horror because some
4:41
of the scenes that they depict, because one of the things I
4:45
really love about this series is just like the look and style of
4:50
like their gear and their weapons and stuff.
4:53
And so like This cloak thing that Saco is wearing is
4:59
basically just like just like this like cloth that he wears.
5:02
But when he activates it base, Chris like this, like set of
5:05
armor that surrounds him whatever.
5:08
And a lot of our main cast, a lot of their abilities and stuff
5:12
for kind of like centered around, darkness and darkness
5:15
themed and stuff, because it's kind of like a like a central
5:19
hub for the series of the carriages, kind of go to very
5:23
often especially when I need to like Shop and I've graded stuff,
5:26
whatever. Is the real place called Dark
5:29
nest? But yeah, but just the way all
5:33
this stuff looks whatever. Cuz like Sanko, he goes around
5:37
collecting bones and stuff. And so, his weapon is, basically
5:42
this bone that turns into this like dark acts.
5:46
And so, I just love the whole look of it because, like when he
5:50
summons it, he literally says come dark flesh.
5:56
And you said I just like, Darkness just like surround the
6:01
On whatever the turn to the like this core acts that he has.
6:06
And we handbags the accents of somebody's flash like the first
6:12
time, it happens, it is just like sick and all the best ways
6:18
to where you just see like the skinniest of just like slowly
6:21
melting off these people, faces and stuff, whatever.
6:26
But yeah, but it is just just like a really fun read.
6:29
And like I said, like there's Just that interest in that entry
6:33
of like, who are all these characters, what are their
6:37
backstories, how do they get here?
6:40
And what is really going on with psychos body and stuff?
6:43
Because throughout the volumes, we also get flashback moments to
6:50
of him when he was a little kid when he was a six.
6:53
No, I think six or eight, I think eight because he's
6:57
currently 14 right now. But, but yeah, but but Series is
7:02
like really dope. Like I said, like the artist of
7:04
in general, all of the different chapters have like really cool
7:09
cover art. This is one from a chapter, 23
7:12
and volume for that. I just, I just really loved this
7:18
whole color spread right here of just like all the different
7:21
characters and stuff so but but yeah, it is just overall, if you
7:27
want, first of all, if you're a fan of door, Or hit or that's
7:32
already reason one. But two, like I said, if you
7:36
just want to see just some fun characters, some interesting
7:40
characters going on a, on a Intergalactic Adventure through
7:46
space where they get into all types of crazy Shenanigans and
7:51
stuff. They're dark is one that I like
7:55
super highly recommend. This is one that I hope that
7:59
someday also gets The anime treatment as well.
8:04
And this also kind of makes me want to go back because I
8:06
honestly, I never actually finished the Douro anime.
8:12
So I think I might do that as well as I also want to just
8:17
fully read the Manga because the manga Fedora her door.
8:20
Oh it's fully done though. I'm trying to remember, it's a
8:25
decent length from from what I remember about it.
8:30
But, but yeah, but About me going back and diving into this
8:37
series. Hold on.
8:42
Okay, yesterday I know what? Yeah, yeah, Dora Dora was
8:45
twenty, three volumes 191 chapters total, so pretty,
8:50
lengthy series, and actually hear it when it ran for 18 years
8:55
because it started December 2008.
8:59
Just ended in September 2018. So and then the Arthur Kill
9:04
hayashida. She turned around and then made
9:07
I started a darker. You're letting in 2019 and then
9:10
Going out to current, like I said, it's currently four
9:13
volumes at an English with the fifth one coming out early next
9:16
year, but just a couple other just like, really cool things.
9:19
I just like panels, it's not just to show off.
9:22
This is a our MC when he was a kid looking really dope like
9:28
side. I just love the styling stuff
9:30
and whatever and then this is kind of the kind of like the
9:34
main Merchant of the series. Her name is a Meza Tony and like
9:40
inside Of the skull is basically this kind of like storage unit
9:45
where she has all this like cool gear and stuff for you to check
9:51
out. But yeah, but she's a cool
9:53
character. And like I said, avakian, I
9:57
didn't know no Shima de sorry shimada as also very dope
10:03
character, Sarah Bombay. Yeah, the this Series has some
10:06
really dope women, which I know a lot of people are.
10:10
Fan of a lot of a lot of the female characters and door.
10:15
Hey Dora and a lot of them have similar facial features and
10:21
stuff whatever. So like you can did like say
10:23
once again, definitely tell the similar our Styles and stuff of
10:27
this to Dora Dora. But but yeah, but this, this is
10:31
a super, super cool, super fun series.
10:36
The only part that I wasn't too hot on that first was like, at
10:39
the beginning of volume. For you kind of start getting
10:42
you just kind of, I guess, kind of like a main antagonist
10:45
organization of sorts that you've heard their name and
10:49
organization come up throughout the series so far, but you
10:52
actually get to see like the leader as stuff of the
10:57
organization and stuff. But yeah.
11:01
But but, you know, and last thing I wanted to say to
11:04
whatever is like these volumes. First of all, like I said, like,
11:08
like the quality of them are just They nice.
11:12
They just it's just nice to feel the page quality is also nice.
11:17
And you know, it just feels like quality purchase but the author
11:25
also kind of does like, some cool stuff to her like and
11:27
between or like at the start of every chapter, it kind of like
11:31
or every volume, kind of gives you a braid of like, hey, here's
11:33
the cast of characters, get little rundown on them story so
11:37
far and one of my favorite touches that I fell in love with
11:42
with the first volume. Is that at the end of every
11:46
volume, there is a crossword. Puzzle with different things,
11:52
from the volume that you just read.
11:54
So I still haven't gone through and done on these whatever but
11:58
this is still something like really cool I think to kind of
12:00
like a lookout for or like I said just just like some extra
12:05
flavoring and fast service just just just extra care put into
12:10
them. To the The Vines and stuff.
12:13
But but yeah, the the cares of the day like I said, just super
12:18
dope. Super cool.
12:19
I love all of the kind of like are in between the different
12:26
chapters were like the author. She'll kind of show off like,
12:29
hey here is like an early design of this character or hey, here
12:33
is what this curve looks like in for armor or no armor or
12:37
whatever as so yeah. Like I said I can just tell it
12:41
to Susie just met with a lot of love and I loved this panel was
12:45
just so good, so funny, just say the characters, when they were
12:49
kids and stuff. So, but but yeah and and what's
12:55
his name? The deme Maru character.
12:59
Honestly, he kind of reminds me of like a Kenny from South Park
13:05
to wear a dress like ever so often.
13:07
As I, oh my God, they carried me Mauro.
13:09
And I was just For another kids would be like you Pastor or
13:12
something crazy but um but yeah but did this, like I said, super
13:19
dope. I'm sound like a broken record
13:21
but like I said, I just hope that, you know, somebody else
13:26
out that gives this gives the series was try.
13:28
Like I said, I had to finish off spooky season spooky month with
13:34

13:38
