Anime & Manga Thread v.4 FAQ/IRC: See OP. Thread over. Move onto v.5

You don’t need to play it. But it does have a handful of big spoilers for F/SN. Think about if you’re ever going to read F/SN in the future.

watch nikki while it’s still following the manga adaption

Ben-to seems ok so far, sure it may probably degenerate into harem bullshit later if the op is anything to go by, but right now its just a dude fighting to fill his stomach which seems pretty good for some reason.

Edit. Assumed it was on your list but on second glance it wasn’t Fate/Zero is pretty damn great so far.

Ben-To is another typical cliche shonen disguised and based around something might trivial as fuck, not to say that’s a bad thing though. The fact that it revolves around battle royales for half priced lunch boxes is what makes it a fun watch lol

Really enjoying the music they using in Persona, it’s baller as hell: http://www.infinitelooper.com/?v=pnLR8-bW_hA&p=n#/46;90
Makes me sad to hear it’s only gonna be 12 eps though… Maybe it’ll be like Fate/Zero where they split it up into two smaller seasons or it’ll be a full 24 eps but they just havn’t announced the rest of the episodes yet =/

I tried to watch Fate/Zero but I feel asleep watching it, might try it again later. Guily Crown, like Fate, was beautifully animated with a shit ton of special effects. But from the two episodes I saw, it seems like this show is doesn’t even try to make any sense and will filled with all types of wtf moments filled with glossy, jiggly teen butt put in place to keep you distracted by the fact that you are watching a retarded show. Gonna give it a few more eps before I say fuck it. That penguin show seems more interesting than it from just one silly episdoe. Gonna check that out for a laugh.

Edit: Ben-to sounds a lot like Ramen fighter.

Fate/Zero does start out kinda slow but only because the 1st episode was a 40 min double lengthed one and they used it to set things up with the character, context and all that jazz. The way the episode end does get you pretty hype for the show, you just gotta get to there lol.

Penguindrum is also another good pick. I’ve fallen behind several episodes because fansub loyalty screwed me over when nutbladder dropped the ball on it and i was trying to avoid GG lol Orz

Also @ stickystaines:
Note that Rioting Soul mentions "if you’re ever going to* read** F/SN in the future."* I personally don’t think Fate/Stay Night anime is worth watching, let alone worth holding Fate/Zero back for. That’s just me though and your/other mileage(s) may vary though.

Just watched Horizon ep 4. It’s getting reeeeally good.

Fate #4: DAMN! Nice to see it live up to the hype created by last week’s episode.

Zzzzzz… my net has been going at snail speed today. Started eps 4 of Fate/Zero like 2 hours ago and it’s not even halfway done yet T_T

And when I say big spoilers I mean huge spoilers that spoil every major plot point except for one(and if you saw UBW then you already know that one). If you watch all of Fate/Zero then decide to read F/SN for the first time, you won’t enjoy it.

I started DLing after reading JGreen’s post and it’s done now. Are you frustrated?

I’ve gone past that stage into acceptance now. Been trying to kill time by watching stuff like Bakuman, Ungo and soon Shana III whenever that’s done (fuck I ain’t looking forward to Shana). Waiting is still vexing though, shit sucks and enjoy your episode lol Orz.

EDIT: Shana’s done now, lets see how ass it’s gonna be.

EDIT 2: lol, funny how the most enjoyable Shana III ep so far has been a recap one. I dunno whether that says how bad the show has been thus far or that i should give credit where credit is due. Either way next episode doesn’t seem too bad anymore, maybe now the show can finally pick itself back up.

Fate/Zero 04

[details=Spoiler]Saber is so FUCKING COOL. All she has to do is smirk and I’m acting like this.

The pool of heroes for Lancer seems kind of narrow, if that isn’t a coincidence. I’m going to assume that what’s her name homunculus girl got wet because of his charm. Saber could smell her juices from there.

And Iksander is just as dumb as I was expecting him to be.[/details]

Medaka Box 119 translated
http://www.cxcscans.com/reader/reader/read/medaka_box/en/0/119/

Shana III is off to an awkward start…

for said show

[details=Spoiler]It’s like they put themselves into a situation that’s going to be difficult to work with, as in, conveying an interesting story…

I’m still baffled as to what/how Yuji became to be who he is now. I mean, we’re told his flame blew out, but the Reiji Mago didn’t revive him, so like…wtf happened…?[/details]

I expect a throwdown happening in ben-to every epd, that is basically what I’m watching it for. It is only 12 epds.

Mirai Nikki is pretty cool so far. Crazy bitches all over the place.

I like that the thing I hate about medaka box (medaka) is now the main bad guy

I think Mirai and F/Z are probably the highlights of this season to me.

Mawaru Penguindrum 15

[details=Spoiler]
So Yuri’s interlude gets interrupted by Shoma, who coincidentally was staying the room close by. This episode mainly centers around her backstory and our first appearance of Momoka (who’s just…a palette swapped Ringo. :lol:). Turns out Yuri also had daddy issues too, but in a more disturbing way. Plus, a semi fight between Yuri and Natsume (who seems to be everywhere) with Yuri still keeping her half of the diary. [/details]

Fate/Zero makes me a HAPPY man…

Can someone explain to me what the fuck is going on in Fate/Zero? I’m confused.

what exactly are you confused about?
