THAT is the cover to a manga called Nephylym? Geez. Japan continues to plunder Judeo Christian mythology for random names and mix it with manga cliches. In this case, from a summary I read online, it sounds like a generic shonen romance. At least Evangelion when used the terms in a type of seriousness and gave them interesting designs. Then again maybe I'm bitter because I always thought the mythological Nephilim were fascinating. Certainly it deserves better than this.

Well I've actually had a shounen action manga story idea in the works for quite a few years now myself that sort of touches on this a bit. Unfortunately I'm kind of pissed now that I know I have to change the name of my series now that I know someone else has it already blast it all! Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad (My series' name is actually spelled Nephilum though, by the way)
