The Death Panda

The Death Panda: a crime against existence the biger atrocity ever done in Japanese industry, I would say that it is basically a crime against humanity, and why do I say that? if you don't know what this manga is about, I'll warn you: it's a mixture of gore and brutal rape (very, very, very brutal), more than you can imagine, and also ... zoophilia. it is very clear how horrible such a thing is, I wonder what is going on in the mind of those who illuatrated this ... Okay, but is it history? at least is it good? NO, it is terrible, incoherent,bizarre, nutty and super badly written, since the creator only wants to show rape and gore. And about the characters ... there are two types: raped and rapists, simple. Finally, I came to say the ONLY thing that is really good: art, yes, it is very well designed, and expressive. I conclude that it is a manga that you should pass away, for the sake of your sanity, have a good day:;)

By coincidence I heard about this manga, so I wanted to check it out. The basic synopsis is a giant demonic panda comes from out of nowhere and begins to kill, dismember and rape most of his victims, sometimes simultaneously, ok don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Elfen Lied, Berserk, Gunnm, and Claymore, all of which are pretty violent and sometimes gory, accepted, but the aforementioned mangas, as well as their companion animes have great stories to explain the violence, in other words the violence and gore are important to telling the story, however with death panda, the over the top violence andgore doesn't seem to make any sense and i would suspect is there for mere shock value, there is no back story as to why the panda does what he does, and no character development, more like random characters getting killed raped or disemboweled in the most graphic manner, but with no meaningful explanation, like I said before I am a fan of the horror genre, but there has to be a good story as the foundation for all the mayhem, about the only thing I can praise is the art work which is excellent, the guy is obviously talented, and it would be nice ti see him do another manga where there is a great story to go along with all the carnage.

This manga is first of all a lighthearted, and slightly grotesque, love comedy. Many will not appreciate it, as there is horrible killing and rape mixed together throughout the whole manga. But if one is able to see past this, one will notice funny parodies, sweet love, and that happy ending which is defining for a story to be a real comedy (at least after ancient standards). The story is more than decent for a hentai manga, though at times a little hard to follow, while the characters other than the panda are pretty generic types that are often found as side characters in harem mangas.Still, the art is good, and the light comedy combined with a very contrasting morbidity makes for great enjoyment for people like me who actually like the ero-guro genre. The author has even managed to get a really sweet and sad love scene into the manga, which is probably the reason why I personally like it enough to read it over and over again. Nothing can beat true love, even if it's in a seemingly horrid form. I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in the macabre and/or rape, to those who want to read something with good shock value, and to people who generally like the idea of a badass panda who goes around spreading death in town.

Death Panda is, in a word, hilarious. There is something about a cartoonish giant panda bear with heart-shaped patterns and the world's greatest rape face (and rape face is to be understood literally) tearing up and violating people that tickles my funny bone. Perhaps it's because you don't get to know the victims. Perhaps because some of them are stupid or assholes. Perhaps I'm just trying to cope or I am just twisted. Perhaps because… is that a Giraffe violating a shrine maiden with it's head? Did Death Panda just violate a Red Panda and then rip the bodies of the onlooking crowd with hisejaculate like a high pressure water cutter cuts through metal? The humor lies in how over the top the acts are performed, how ludicrous the entire situation is, how detached from reality the entire manga seems to be. It seems more akin to the charm of a B-Horror movies with a little extra budget for bloody special effects and a slightly deranged creative team. This becomes very clear when humans do what Death Panda does for very human reasons, albeit very pathetic and weak ones. It's scenes like these that hit very hard in the uncomfortable zone and not when Death Panda devours one of his victims during the act. Death Panda himself is a very inhuman being, with no origin story and a lot of his actions lack apparent motivation, so he is mostly an enigma yet kinda interesting. The story does not only follow Death Panda's unholy exploits, but also the shrine maidens Suzuran and Saran who have vowed to hunt him down. They aren't really that deep characters by any stretch of the imagination (one is a hard-working warrior who lacks innate power and therefore must struggle to defeat the Panda, the other is a haughty, slightly sadistic usurper), but they serve to bring the point across, one is a hard-working warrior who lacks innate power and therefore must struggle to defeat the Panda, the other is a haughty, slightly sadistic usurper. This isn't done in any great artistic way, but it is at the very least extremely memorable (kind of a package deal with all the death, rape, obscenity and gore). This series indeed has more of a plot and thought behind it than your average hentai, but it still fetishizes a lot of things you would only have nightmares about: guro, vorarephilia (fetishized cannibalism), rape, zoophilia, a constant juxtaposition of food and mutilation sex and snuff. If sounds unreadable to you, by all means, DON'T READ THIS. The human character designs are reminiscent of School Rumble, though special detail goes to the animal designs, but quite frankly, nobody will read this for the art. If you think over-the-top violence is hilarious, you will have a blast, but if you're squeamish, traumatized or disgusted by any of the stuff mentioned here, there if no point in forcing yourself onto this. And if you know you get turned on by guro, you gotta find out if those glistening guts pitch your tent or not because I have no idea if they might and I want to keep it that way, thank you.
