Anime & Manga Thread v.5 FAQ/IRC: See OP. Welcome to 2017

KAMINA DYING WAS JUST A CHEAP PLOT DEVICE USED TO MAKE STUFF HAPPEN OMG WHY DID I NOT SEE THIS!!!

How was it a pointless cop out? IT actually made sense. She was at like the core of her DNA an Anti-Spiral, Simon killed the hivemind of the Anti-Spirals, therefore she died as well. The ending wasn’t “sad”. [details=Spoiler] Just because people die =/= sadness. The ending showed how the generation progresses due to what Team Gurren did. Team Gurren passed on the torch of humanity to the next generation, what’s sad about that?

The world won’t stop just because some people died, you know. [/details]

Real talk the way the titans move creep me the fuck out. Like i can’t get hype for a titan fight scene becuase i am so damn scared.

See the difference there is that he went into battle and got impaled (I think it was that which did him in anyway, been a while since my last watch), that makes sense, people die when they are killed and it happened too fast to save him, Nia on the other hand died because her father died and with a large delay at that, no mention of “If we kill this guy she’s going to die as well because x”, it just happened, like if you’d got to the end of an RPG and had a character choke to death on a freaking pickle or something after beating the last boss.

I mean I know the whole screw the impossible thing is in effect and everything, but having a critical existance failure out of nowhere and not doing anything about it despite having enough time to plan and carry out a wedding before it because the guy who’s just been throwing galexies around like frizbees does seem a little off.

Still liked the ending but that just seems off, all it would have taken to not be off would be a little more of a solid reason for Nia to die, either by explaining that killing the Anti Spiral would kill her before it happened or just offing her in a more direct way, but there you go.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice spoilers guys.

Man, the latest episode of Valvrave is so dumb.

Valvrave

Spoiler

The immaturity of the characters given their current situation is incredibly irritating, but I’m not even sure if that would be the natural reaction of people at that age when left on their own. I’m not saying it should be darker or anything but the way the students are going about this is stupid and they’ll die out if they continue being this idiotic. Also, music video at the end comes out of nowhere and makes little sense.

Given the preview for the next episode, Valvrave seems like it’s going to be 12 episodes and will probably end up a train wreck as they continue to speed through things at this pace.

Railgun with a serious story arc instead of episodic happenings is actually pretty awesome.

That’s kind of the point. You’re not suppose to get hyped for a Titan fight like it’s some shonen battle manga. Given the context of the situation and the way Titans are depicted, you’re suppose to get scared for the characters in those situations. The whole concept of being eaten alive by giants with human features, such as blunt teeth, is suppose to convey a sense of fear and horror.

One of the gripes I have with the anime is how much they are censoring the violence and gore because the deaths of those people are carrying less impact than they should.

im confused by erens 2 distinct personalitys.

  1. he has no prob takin down some murders

vs

  1. cant even beat up a couple of teenage bullies

hmmmmm…

Yeah the censoring is going to be a problem later on with some deaths.

Anime is taking things slowly, which is good, but at the current rate the series is going I doubt we’ll get that far.

It’s not 2 personalities at all. Look at the context of both situations.

  1. He has the element of surprise, weapons, and a game plan.

  2. He’s diving in head first when he’s clearly out numbered with just his fist.

Just watched Gurren ep 1…

Mine is the drill that will pierce Yoko’s butt.

Five years after the fact + popular show = long beyond fair game for spoilers. Shut up, nerd.

You’ll be getting a lot of that from this point on.

I hope someone cuts off all of your hair.

My apologies. I personally hate spoiling things, and would absolutely hate to spoil the series for anyone who hasn’t seen it.

It’s been a long time since I spoiler tag’d anything; how do you do it again?

All you need to do is [ spoiler ] [ /spoiler ] and put text between the tags, no spaces of course. In any case, like I said earlier, five years is far beyond the acceptable window to use spoiler tags. lol

I’ve yet to see all of the Harry Potter movies and finish the books and I’ll kill anyone who spoils it for me. Yes, I am one of *those * people

The best thing you can do is just try to excuse yourself out of conversations when they come up. Don’t be one of those guys that hear’s a potential spoiler and screams “OMFG DON’T SAY ANYTHING ELSE I HAVEN’T SEEN/READ IT!”, despite the spoilers being like 5 years old. lol~

Then again, if someone knows you haven’t seen/read something and intentionally spoils it for you, then by all means get mad!

snape killed dumbledore suck my nuts.

The animated Chimera Ant Arc of HxH is SO good right now. Shit getting REAL…er

Saw the word Snape and already knew where it was going.

Nice try, douchebag.
