feindmachines (07/25/2015) [-] is it bad the only "anime" i ever watched was lucky star because i saw it in a youtube-poop and watched all of it late at night? that was the only one i ever finished though, it was oddly interesting as a time waster.

warbob (07/25/2015) [-] haven't watched much of lucky star, but I know that it has silly-ish humor and the characters are highschool-aged
based on this, I'd recommend Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou (The ordinary lives of highschool boys) as it is a sort-of episodic gag comedy which imo is one of the best anime comedies I've seen.

It's fun and all until the writers have to come up with a reasonable explanation why the mockingbird exists and why this old **** tried to fight her all this time.

gromitsparkles (07/25/2015) [-] yer i'm up to that, tomaki just killed himself and shiros being weird, it's making sense so far, i guess they're probably not going to explain how the old guy swaped bodies but with what he said to shiro when they fought (now let us comtinue to kill each other and die in turn) that must mean he's changed bodies at least a few times befor all just to kill shiro... thinking about it pretty much the reason for everything in that anime is because people are trying to kill shiro ¬_¬

Exactly like in the manga. Like srsly the guys a scientist. If he at least tried to convert her into a weapon for the military. That would be unoriginal and all but....

Kairyuka (07/26/2015) [-] Yea it kinda got the Air Gear syndrome where everything got way more important and gritty and all the awesome characters change uncharacteristically into ********** characters. Air Gear also suffers from the Yugioh syndrome where something pretty silly suddenly becomes about the fate of the world through poorly thought out pseudoscience
#88 to #87

rejakted (07/26/2015) [-] Huehuehue. Air Gear reminded me of Tenjou Tenge. (jump to paragraph 2) I haven't read or watched Air Gear but a friend of mine recently did and he said it was ok- nothing special. Hell, after I read its synopsis at Mangatraders (it's back!) I was like, "This has to be the stupidest thing I might have read in quite some time."
Tenjou Tenge had such a great beginning and mid-game. But, holy **** ! You will not believe how much the author ******* complicated that **** right then, man. Old as **** warrior reincarnations, a sudden vampire son-of-a-bitch outta nowhere, a flashback that goes on for 3 consecutive volumes, an MC who does a 180 personality flip right before the 'seriousy, what the **** is this **** ?' ending.
The only thing it had then going for it was this mofo ( You need to login to view this link ) (he looks gay in the pic at MAL but he looks way better in the manga) and that fantastic art (and also the fact that the author had done art for my favorite fighting game - Tekken).

Kairyuka (07/26/2015) [-] I believe Tenjou Tenge was drawn by the same guy so yea. Air Gear the manga was amazing for its urban designs and gritty, edgy humor, until it turned into some kinda weird "save the world" plot that made no sense and the main character became brooding instead of hilarious and awesome.

Kairyuka (07/26/2015) [-] Some day they'll make an actual good heterosexual romance thing. I don't get this fascination with gay relationships, it's highly overrepresented. Not that I mind if there was just one good straight relation manga but oh well.
Anyways I don't really read romance or slice of life any more, I like to find something that isn't too cliché, and way most anime and manga has horrible characterization...

rejakted (07/26/2015) [-] Heh, it's not actually romance or slice of life (mostly) at all.
Basically, MC joins all-girl school where the girls like to team up and beat each other up with katana. MC wants to beat em all to win the prize but she can't do it alone. She finds a lone wolf who once used to be top-asskicker and eventually forces her into teaming up by teasing her with **** . Spoiler ---> after a 2/5th of the manga, MC realizes she's **** at beating others up and sorta slips into the background and the focus shifts to the other characters up till where I have read it to.
Have you heard of the short Koe no Katachi?

Nigha gets bullied by class until highschool and he ends up being a social wreck. Nigha decides to kill himself (iirc). Stops. Wants to ask chick for forgiveness. Tracks her down. Chick triggered. End of oneshot. About 90 chapters to go.

Kairyuka (07/26/2015) [-] Kenichi was indeed awesome, and MSN was too, but I guess Akamatsu's work is kinda dependent on what you like in a manga. Problem is that it has two animes, one is too short to reach the really awesome parts, and the other is just nonsense in comparison to the manga plot.
I still have to carry on watching Jojo though, I love that overly macho man thing it's hilarious.

rejakted (07/26/2015) [-] Man, Part 1 (the 1/4th you talking about), is universally treated as trash so you're not alone on this. I was damn near about to quit JoJo myself until I remembered those few horribly subbed pics I saw here on FJ.
Don't quit. It just keeps getting better and better.

Kairyuka (07/26/2015) [-] Toradora was aight, but too cliché. It's okay as a first anime I guess, but having seen as much as I have, it's not something I'd return to. Mysterious Girlfriend X was pretty good, as it STARTED with the relationship instead of CONCLUDING with the relationship. But I'm tired of slice of life and romance, unless it's full on absurd like Nichijou

rejakted (07/26/2015) [-] I may sound like an advertisement here but, watch Beelzebub, get disappointed by the ending, and then start the manga which is fantastic.
This one's a little too weird and it basically starts out with a 'shotgun wedding' of sorts but it's damn entertaining: Kyouran Kazoku Nikki.

rejakted (07/26/2015) [-] Man, that was one hell of a start. But then it got all edgy for the sake of being edgy after they got to the tournament. The only reason why I still haven't dropped it yet because the MC kinda reminds me of myself and also because the editor of the scanlation I've got always keep teasing **** in the afterword at the end of every chapter. Her rants and undying love for Hao are seeming to be more amusing to me than the manga itself as the days pass by.

rejakted (07/25/2015) [-] I already knew it was axed and that was the reason why I read it... but, damn. When I got to the last few chapters, I wished I never knew about Mx0 because I knew that I wanted more.
Seriously, man, Jump needs to abandon **** like Bleach and not let greats like Mx0 and Beelzebub - my all time favorite die because of a few low-weekly rankings.

Kairyuka (07/25/2015) [-] Bleach is the biggest missed opportunity, did you see the inbetween pages? The ones where Tite Kubo just draws the characters in random settings? Kubo draws the most awesome modern urban designs, so where does Bleach take place? Mostly in feudal Japan where everyone coincidentally wears the same ******* **** . His biggest problem is being too ******* lazy, Bleach could've been so much better

rejakted (07/25/2015) [-] I used to be a huge fan of Bleach until it really went down the can, dude.
And, yes, Kubo's art is amazing. It might be unfair of me to say this but, I wish he'd abandon or end it already and do something= preferably partner up with some author for a new series. Like the artist of Death Note.

Kairyuka (07/25/2015) [-] Ahh Death Note had awesome art (especially the anime) but the plot was **** for the most part. Strangely just like Bleach it kinda died halfway through, but shambled on as a zombie through forced and contrived plotlines. Another anime guilty of that sin was Clannad, although supposedly the VN does the same **** .
#55 to #54

rejakted (07/25/2015) [-] Death Note's premise was rather new and interesting. But, yeah, a lot people don't really like it for the second-half and consider whatever happened with that dude to be the actual, proper ending.
Though, I rather enjoyed the second half a lot. All the coincidences and 'all according to plan' is what made it shine and, I think, the very same thing accountable for the shine being used to deconstruct and end it on a low note was a pretty risky but well-worth (IMO) move.

rejakted (07/25/2015) [-] Right. If it weren't for Rem, Light would have never gone anywhere and would have eventually slipped up.
I still rather liked Light. Luck was on his side and it was very amusing seeing him get full of himself due to all them lucky shenanigans. This is exactly why I liked his outburst in the ending. He ****** up. He knew it. But, he still denied it.

#58 to #57

Kairyuka (07/25/2015) [-] Also the entire story has been ignoring a crucial detail from the get-go: How many innocents have Light executed? He does little to nothing to actually investigate the guilt of the people whose lives he toys with. I wonder how you'd figure out who's guilty and who's not... OH WAIT! The justice system Light coincidentally does not approve of. Derp.
#59 to #58
-
rejakted (07/25/2015) [-] The story never ignored it, man. Why do you think L was so keen on capturing Kira and making him confess? Even Near himself called out Light for his flawed system of judgement after his rather nice speech in the ending.
It never mattered how and by whom they criminals were perceived to be guilty by. Light was clearly acting on his own judgement. Right from the beginning, Light's ultimate goal was to make a utopia functioning under his rules. He was ready to kill a hell lotta people from the start to achieve it. He tested out the Death Note for it's capabilities. Hell, that was the reason why he was even narrowed down as prime read: only (in L's eyes) suspect in the first place.

Kairyuka (07/26/2015) [-] It was ignored though, there were never any consequences. There was never a scene where Light realized he'd been executed 50% innocent people, the manga just acted as if he only executed criminals, which is a false premise. Kinda makes the plot less interesting when it doesn't handle obvious issues.
#62 to #61
-
rejakted (07/26/2015) [-] But he did realize it. Though, he never really openly said it. When he was going after Raye Penbar he killed some dude who had only minor offenses of a long time back to his name because, "If he did them back them, he might as well do them again."
As Kira, he killed whoever he thought was a criminal (by going through the police database and looking at the news) but, as Light the 'god', he killed whoever he saw was a threat to his plans.
And there were consequences. The biggest one was that he strayed from actual criminals to somewhat-innocents to kill the FBI agents which enabled L to reach the conclusion, "Yup, this the faggot we looking for."
I don't mean to be rude or anything but, were you asleep while reading the manga? The anime doesn't portray these little things properly but the manga doesn't let up one bit. I just recently re-read the series after like 10 whole years so it's utterly fresh in my mind at the moment.

Kairyuka (07/26/2015) [-] Hmm the thing I remember the most was the attempt to make it seem like Light might've actually been in the right, which kinda ignored the obvious issue, though I admit I never finished the manga, only the anime. In either case I probably wouldn't read it again... While writing this I realize I might actually read it again at some point... Hmm

rejakted (07/26/2015) [-] Like a playboy in a never-ending perpetual cycle of horny-ness, the author bounced around both sides saying both could be right but, ultimately it rests on us. Ryuu, by the end, had said that he never really gave a **** who won. All he thought was they both were interesting.
Only reason I had read the manga was because I had watched the anime back when was either 7 or 8 years old and it's a lil' policy of mine to re-watch/read an anime's manga (and vice versa) a couple of years later.

Kairyuka (07/26/2015) [-] Well I just recently saw Punchline and quite enjoyed that, the plot was surprisingly complex, but if you absolutely can't stand fanservice or being confused for about six episodes then you should stay away from it.
In terms of manga I've just been reading Berserk and it's amazing, other than that I really like Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi for the martial arts n shiet. Mx0 was awesome, but it was cancelled halfway through so the ending sucks. Mahou Sensei Negima (the manga, not the anime) is great if you like cute highschool girl fun that suddenly turns into amazing shonen fantasy halfway through, Ken Akamatsu really makes awesome stuff

Have never heard of Punchline. Gonna go for that next!
I've heard of both Berserk and Mahou Sensei Negima. Both are on my list, though, it's the first time I've ever heard of praise for MSN.
HSDKenichi was the **** , man! Watched the anime waaaaaaaaaay back (prolly my first ever fan-service show, hehe) and then went for the manga around a year ago. Currently have put it on hold at Chapter 456. Gonna finish it after I'm done with To Love-Ru and Tokyo Ghoul.
Tank ye.
