A would say that "Bioshock" is also a contributer, but that series is considered Dieselpunk. I could have also chosen Military because of my love for "Stargate". Other than that, nothing really jumped out at me. ________________ Steam ID: jessegames1996 3DS Friend Code: 2750-1600-2747 Nintendo Network ID: Transdude1996 Windows/Xbox Live Gamertag: Transdude1996 http://www.youtube.com/user/transdude1996

To be specific, I like post apocalyptic settings best. The phase where people are rebuilding or have rebuilt. It is always nice to see how that world views the world we live in, what survives the destruction and the passage of time. ________________ It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence. --Mahatma Gandhi

I feel like historical fiction is a little push for more originality and if a mangaka seriously does the research then it'll be great (especially if it's based on a history of another country). Nothing like those lame "into the past and become the heroine" stuff except for Red River. It was a theme too overused by watase yuu and i feel like she beat it like a dead horse until it wasn't original anymore....though it would just be that I don't particularly like watase yuu after having discovered a whole gallery of much more amazing mangas on display in the online manga world. School is really cliche if it's a shoujo manga and I'm guessing most of the votes are from shoujo readers.

Its not anymore boring than any other setting can be. What really matters is how its used just like any troupe setting or archetype character. Even the one's like apocalyptic and historical are overused especially in western comics and everything has been done at this point which is why they become troupes. Anyway I revived this topic because I want another one of these. I didn't get to participate in this one.
