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

The top row is exactly the touhouvania stuff I was talking about. The funny thing is I googled what Sakuya Izayoi really looks like, I couldn’t tell because she also has a different color pallet and looks more like a maid. I have to admit I like the Sakuya “Soma” Izayoi version. In fact I think most of this art is based off those designs. At least the ones with Sakuya.

D. Gray-man 210: lol Kanda
Kenich 445: Dat Lona. Sakaki getting a lot of time which is cool, assuming it’ll be him and Hongo against Jenazad.

Mirai Nikki 09

GDLK Yuno 09

[details=Spoiler]I dunno if this kid is seriously that lonely, whether he’s dumb as fuck or more messed up than anyone else in the series. You’ve just been lied to, taken hostage, almost murdered and now you wanna befriend the same people behind it all? The same people who are all suppose to be gunning for your head? Why the hell would you want friends like that anyway? Shit son, how naive can you get? It’s a life and death game you’re playing here man. He needs to take a page out of Light from Death Note and learn some ruthlessness. Friends? Girlfriends? Fuck that shit, use them for all their worth and throw them out the window once you’re done with them. Light was doing it right yo. This Mirai Nikki kid is doing it wrong. The little chump should’ve died ages ago in the first episode. Psycho girl is way too broken for this game if he can manage to rely on that godlike assit alone to get into top8. Speaking of which, why is everyone so obessed over 1st anyway? Yuno’s the one putting in all the work, talk about getting massively baited lol Damn scrub Yukki needs to go nuts crazy insane and play-to-win already.

Also lol @ the Breeder Diary just being a re-named and reused version of the Sacred Eye diary earlier except with dogs instead this time. I guess there’s only so many variations you could come up with and the authour was starting to run out of ideas lol.

So it looks like there’s probably only 7 diary owners left in the game. We know at least five of them (Team PyschoWuss, 9th, Cop and YouJustGotShankedGirl) which leaves two more mystery players left. Unless the detective kid really does have his own diary hidden somewhere and/or the dog girl received her fathers diary afterall. Yea i really need to learn some of these characters names lol

Mirai Nikki 09

[details=Spoiler]I think it’s pretty clear that every diary owner is bat shit insane in this series, including Yukiteru. There doesn’t need to be that much logic behind people’s actions in this series other than they’re fucking bonkers. That said, Yukiteru’s decision making doesn’t really surprise me; he’s just as crazy as everyone else. I love the fact that he knew he dug himself a hole that he couldn’t climb out of by announcing that Yuno was his girlfriend. Let’s see how long this really lasts… and if/when shit hits the fan when she finds out he lied.

I’m not sure who you are referring to as “Shanked Girl”. Hinata? She’s not a real diary owner; her father was still the owner despite him giving her the diary. With Hinata’s father dead, I’d imagine his diary will cease to function. So we still have four known diary owners: Yukiteru (First), Yuno (Second), Keigo (Fourth), Minene (Ninth). The remaining three are still a mystery… and we’re only nine episodes into the series. Shit is about to get real, from what I can guess.

Akise was not part of the original twelve that were shown in the first episode. I doubt Deus would have some sort of mystery diary owner, so I have a feeling Akise is going to play a big role in the plot, despite not being a diary owner (he is in the ED, after all!). Makes me wonder how much of Evangelion influenced the author, since I see tons of similarities with Yukiteru and Akise compared to Shinji and Kaworu.[/details]

Overall, this episode fucking kicked ass. Once again, I was like the last panel of gaijin 4koma at the end of the episode.

Latest Gintama was so good. Had my dad watch it, he was cracking up as much as I did.

Future Diary talk

[details=Spoiler]I was talking about Mao when i mentioned that Shanked Girl, didn’t know where i got the idea that she was a diary owner from cause i just checked now and she ain’t, my bad lol

On Yukki, even if he’s crazy, he still ain’t brilliantly insane like Batman, Light and/or Yuno is. He needs to step it up and get on that insanity level already. Right now he’s just a crazy coward getting left behind by everyone else in the game. I’d really hate to see him win just by randomly fumbling his way along. The story needs to not hand him stuff and push him towards the edge more (like the school incident with 9th and against 6th’s cult) :3

Gotta love Sena’s maid in Boku wa Tomodachi “If you keep staring at me I might get pregnant” :lol:

SHOOOOOGGGGGUUUUUUUNNN

Gintama 237

Spoiler

So the Shinsengumi are ordered by Matsudaira to accompany the SHOGUN to a ski resort trip. Unfortunately, that as usual doesn’t go well from getting snowballed by Kagura to be treated as a snowboard. The rest of the crew meet up along the hijnks (even Katsura), crash into a far location and lose the Shogun. Now Gorilla is deployed to search for the Shogun, still wearing only his underpants. It can only get worse for them from here.

Mirai Nikki stuff

Spoiler

I honestly don’t think that Yukiteru is insane. If anything, he’s just scared as hell from being surrounded by psychopaths.

…Although it’s taking a real long while for him to actually get serious and not whine and cry about almost everything.

Shoutouts to ero-doujin for letting me know this series exists.

Angel palm, check it

I like Shingeki no Kyojin, but the 4th volume is basically a large waste of time. Why the hell did it need to go into a flashback to reveal things about characters that didnt even have any real importance in the present before that point in the series? I already knew their motivations because it showed them to me already. Why spend a whole volume showing me these motivations again? Its pointless and doesn’t bring anything new to the table. Fuck, that’s what I hate about flashbacks in shonen manga. Actually that’s largely what I hate about flashbacks in anime and manga. They tend to not bring anything I cant figure out on my own or they do that bullshit with decently characterized antagonists to shove in some last minute humanity to try to make you sympathize when they where already good enough just being evil so it just looks like some sort of warp zone sequence to a time when the bad guy wildly broke character.

Working!! was gone full stop into “fuck you kenuran” mode. Its got to the part of the show where Inami just has to take over fucking everything. Just die already. The show was so much better because of the director change. Everyone else was getting more focus and the show felt much less like a 4koma adaptation and more slice of life-ish. But god fucking shit they just cant get around the Inami parts because thats what happened in the manga. Fuck I hate this character so much. Why couldn’t Yamada’s brother just kick her ass?

Around like the 7th Volume onward. Tits constantly. Still the same manga it was before that, just with more bare tits. Also the mangaka is a woman.

The tits are garbage. But the doujin was by chiba toshirou and he is awesome, and the story seemed interesting from the doujin, so I checked it out and it IS interesting. So interesting that I’m adding the mangaka to the list of people I want to fuck.

I spent a good half of my day doing nothing productive… found a shit ton of good stuff, 2D AND 3d. Might as well show someone, right?

I thought Yukiteru would at least be at Ganta level at this point. Looks like he’ll start stepping up soon but I feel I’ve said that in the previous episodes. He needs to stop with the bitchness either way.

Guilty Crown with the cliche beach episode.

I need to pick Phi Brain back up, only watched the first episode. It had that Yugioh feel except PUZZLE GAEMS.

bento is becoming quite fillerish. -_-

I saw a new chapter of Air Gear up and was thinking,“Hey I remember reading some of this before and it was like Jet set Radio, with the rollerblades and all”. So I checked out a couple of the most recent chapters and WTF. Talking about jumping the shark. I’m not even gonna use spoiler tags because it’s not even worth it. Somehow Oh Great threw in an Obama wannabe, Clusterfuck of technobabble which I’m sure he pulled out of his ass, and the 99%. Yea you read that right. Somehow the villian is doing this for the 99%. Which makes me wonder why some mangas don’t just stay in their niche. It was cool when it was gangs with high tech rollerblades, but going out and making DBZ battles is hardly the first thing I thought when I read the first couple chapters.
