I am saving your very soul, so you should be thanking me.
Anyone read the Mahou Maou Yuusha series.
The first one is okay, but the " MAOYUU MAOU YUUSHA - KONO WATASHI NO MONO TONARE, YUUSHA YO " one is where itâs at.
Also, for the LOVE OF FUCKING GOD WHENEVER SOMEONE SAYS âSAOâ IT SHOULD MEAN SHIN ANGYO ONISHI.
Whenever someone posts in this thread, says âsaoâ, and doesnât know what the picture above me is from I remember that I am alone in this world.
i dont think you understand the depths of bad anime i can go throughâŠi survived the 90âs dubbing.
Watched Maoyu, has that Spice Wolf Vibe(although not as great imo comparing there Pilots) with more bouncy boobs . There needs to be more Economic Dramas out there *sigh
I havenât watched anime in forever.
Iâm talking about manga.
Iâm pretty sure itâs better.
Manga is usually better(Although i Know some Anime Adaptions that are exceptions) as a rule of thumb due to less Censorship,More Content,along with the better pacing. However, alternating between those two mediums can be good too since its nice to see your favorite panels being animated and voiced as well
Iâll get around to Psycho Pass.
I should have watched it over Xmas, but eh.
Got damn is Geass is fine piece of work. I loved all of the unfortunate irony of Lelouchâs decisions.
dat Maoyuu Maou Yuusha.
I read it over the holidays and love it so far. The first episode of the anime makes it seem like itâs all about tits and dragon quest parodies but the major focus really is economics and politics.
Iâm a little disappointed at the animeâs art compared to the manga but itâs not a deal breaker. Top tier VAs make up for it.
I also checked out Maou Yuusha tonight and putting the gratuitous breast jiggling aside, I really enjoyed the first episode. I had my eye on this show ever since Number 13 posted the details about it since I thoroughly enjoyed Spice & Wolf.
My first impression after episode 1 is that this is really well written and directed. I liked how the initial introduction of the main characters was very quick to get past the initial cliches that come associated with the fantasy back drop and character archetypes. After the initial introduction it immediately started to craft what the showâs storyline is about, which is the political, economic, and moral decisions that comes about from war times. Furthermore, it properly laid out the ground work for future character development with the brief showing of the Maou and Heroâs past. I really enjoyed the glimpse of the heroâs former companions and despite being cliched fantasy archetypes have an interesting design to them. Despite just a brief showing of these characters I really look forward to seeing more of them. The story telling is really strong based on that first episode and Iâm completely hooked on this show and eagerly look forward to the rest.
The animation quality is surprisingly superb and I wasnât really expecting that level of animation quality based on the premise of the show. It also looks like the show is applying the CG animation techniques that were done in the Berserk movies. The one scene with the rotating camera when the characters touched the lantern was jaw dropping to me. That scene didnât look easy to animate at all and it was incredibly smooth.
Amusingly, the seiyuuâs for Kraft (Jun Fukuyama) and Holo (Ami Koshimizu) from Spice & Wolf play the Hero and Maou, respectively. Akino Arai also does the ending theme for this show (she also did an ending theme for Spice & Wolf). Iâm going to assume this was the directorâs choice since it was mentioned here that he was the director to Spice & Wolf as well. Actually, several key staff members from Spice & Wolf are working on this show as well, so thereâs probably going to be a lot of similarities between the two.
Man
I went this whole holiday without Marathoning a single anime, looking back I really wish I atleast started and finished at least SOMETHING, ah well. At least I got to re-read Saya no Uta with a friend.
krono kunâŠ
Krono KunâŠ
KRONO KUN!!!
Krono woke up in his quiet, small town house. The light shone in from the window, he could faintly hear the sound of the great grandfather clock downstairs. Sitting up in a half asleep daze, his face was suddenly buried in something softâŠsmallâŠbut soft. He look up and his massive eyes met with his childhood friendâs Lucca, who was straddling him. âKyaaa! Krono kun no ecchi!â She cried as she slapped him in the face. Reflexively, he lept to his feet in order to apologizeâŠhis wooden sword brushed against Luccaâs cheek through the thin fabric of his boxers. âKYAAAAAAAâ Her entire body turned red as she pulled out a hammer from nowhere and smacked him across the room. âYouâre the worst! Sometimes I wonder why I likeâŠehâŠermâŠâ Krono was confused, then out of genuine curiosity asked what she was talking about. âI âŠerâŠurmâŠJUST FORGET ITâ She began to storm off, but Krono reach out to her, gently grabbing her arm. This sent the clumsy inventor careering across the room. Krono opened his eyes to a sea of polka dot frillyness. Luccaâs face went all rumply as the sheer embarrassment sent shivers down her whole body. With a mighty âeeeeyaaaaaah!â She shoved a grenade into Kronoâs face.
The explosions shook the house. âAra araâ Said Kronoâs hot, 20 something year old looking mom. âYoung kids sure are energeticâ. Lucca came stomping down the stairs âHonestly, I canât believe that boyâ. Krono followed sheepishly, face swollen. âMy my, you two get along so nicelyâ âYou call this getting along!? Humph!â Lucca said, turning up her nose and pouting. âOh, why am I always like thisâ Lucca thought to her self âif I can just impress him with my teleporter heâll surely fall in love with me and then weâll get married and thenâŠâ âKYAAA!â Lucca shouted as steam burst from her head.
Kronoâs Mom let out an âufu fuâ and"There there, here Krono, take your allowance and by a nice weaponâŠor maybe a good weapon and a couple of potions, make sure you show Lucca a good time on your date" âOKA-SAN! DATE-O JA NAI!!!â screamed Lucca, so embarrassed that the pores on her face casting fire spells. Kronoâs mother could only smile and laugh, because she never opened her eyes or stopped smiling.
Krono, along with his non date, but suspiciously possessive childhood friend reached the castle fair. âThis way!..in here!â Lucca lead him into a dark and dingy tent. The stench of bodies was overwhelming. âWelcome!â Cackled a giant, disembodied mask and a pair of hands. âYou know, I happen to have a life sized doll of you in the backâŠit cost a fortune to make, and many pain staking hours to recreate your body and clothing, but Iâll let you have it for free if you can raise your left armâŠâ âOkâŠnow the rightâŠdo a little turn for usâŠmmm yeahâŠnow act surprisedâŠugh yeahâ Ok its yours" The pair of hands began to stroke themselves and convulse rapidly as an attractive assistant in a bunny girl suit brought out, the life size doll. âHere you goâ she said, but as she was handing it over, Lucca grabbed her arm and asked in a hushed tone âis that dollâŠcorrect?â the assistant gave her a puzzled lookâŠâyou knowâŠanatomicallyâŠ?â The assistant nodded âGueh heh hehâŠjust leave it at my house, here are the keysâ. Luccaâs glasses went white with evil intentions. Krono was oblivious to the exchange that took a mere 2 feet away from him.
After a short montage of walking together and eating things, Lucca stood up. stretched and said âBoy! That was funâŠoh no look at the time! Iâve got to go finish up the preparations!â she began to run off but stopped and said âYou better show up!â and continue to run for a moment before stopping again and saying âDonât be lateâ and she left again, on to stop and shout âand donât do anything shameful, you beast!â However, this time, as she was turning back around, she tripped on nothing and fell face first into the cobblestone. Exposing her panties and shapely bottom. She jumped to her feet and hightailed it out of there âStay away from flooziesâŠor else!!!â She threatened as she became a tiny dot in the distance. Krono could faintly make out a âKrono kun no baka!â being wailed in the distance.
Krono shrugged his shoulders and took one step, he felt something soft before being thrown to the ground by a swirling white mass of silky fabric and tit flesh. Before he realized what happened, his face was being crushed by the supple, yet perky, c-cup breasts of a 16 and a half year old. âIta-ta-taaaahhâŠâ she mumbled. âUwhoa! Iâm so sorry are you ok!?â she asked as she lifted herself off the complete stranger, releasing him from his globulous prison. âAh my pendant! Where is my pendant!â the girl began to frantically scour the ground for a lost moment, her apple shaped bottom wiggling hypnotically though her breezy white pantsâŠher meticulously animated under cleavage barely being constrained by the tiny strip of fabric moonlighting as a tube top. Krono, feeling a vague sense of unease looked away. A massive, spiraling pillar of light was emanating from a large pendant 2 feet away. Ignoring the ancient, ominous markings, royal crests and pictographs of some kind of spiked worm destroying the world, he walked over to the girl. âOh! You found my pendantâ she exclaimed, âwaitâŠdoes this mean you are going to FORCE ME TO GIVE YOU A SLOPPY, HANDS FREE BLOW JOB!?!â She recoiled with horror. Krono, not knowing what any of those words meant shook his head. âThenâŠyouâŠare just giving it to me?â Krono nodded. A single tear rolled down the girlsâ left cheek. âThis is the nicest person, I have ever metâŠwellâŠhe didnât check that I was ok before grabbing the pendant, but whatever, no biggieâŠI must do whatever it takes to trick him into marrying meâ. âmy name isâŠumâŠuhâŠmmmâŠMâŠmuhâŠMarle!â she said letting out a gorgeous smile. Krono didnât even notice her apparent difficulty in remembering her name as the camera was doing a slow pan shot of her dynamite body.
'So, will you be taking responsibility?" she asked. Krono gave her a questioning look. âYou knowâŠfor PUSHING ME TO THE GROUND AND MOLESTING MEâŠ?â Krono could only express shock by throwing up his arms in the air, but not seeing any way out of the situation, like calling her crazy, or simply walking away, silently acquiesced. âAlright! Lead the way! But donât run! My nipples will pop out if I jogâ. Krono didnât know what nipples were, but had a feeling that seeing them was bad. They had an enjoyable time walking around, enjoying platonic and wholesome activities like drinking contests and gambling on children forced to run races. As they approached the far end of the fair, they began to hear some music. As they approached a tent , they noticed an impressive light and laser show was taking place. âOh look! Its the idol academy tent! Câmon! Lets go!â
As they arrived to the stage, there was a giant explosion and sparks began to fly everywhere. The stage opened up, a svelte and stylish cyborg cat girl in magical hot pants rose up on a platform.
"âȘMy name is Gato
and I look like a Cat-O
Beat me with your song and dance
You will win some hot pants!â« "
There were murmurs in the crowd âNo wayâŠthat thing is just too goodâ âThe royal idol academy compiled data from the best idols in the world to make that thingâ âNobody will ever win those hotpantsâ âThey say only members of the royal idol family can best it in feats of song and danceâ Krono was about to turn to Marle and let her know it impossible and pointless to try, but she had disappeared. The crowd erupted as a thumping euro beat began to boom on massive speakers. Marle burst onto stage and began singing and dancing perfectly to an elaborate, choreographed idol routine. A pair of girls next to Krono could only gush at her splendor. âSugoi! She is an even better dancer than super idol princess Nadia!â. Krono was enchanted by the rhythmic swaying of hips and the gyrating abdominals. Krono was jostled out of this state by an increasingly large crowd forming around him. A large group of overweight, sweaty men with headbands and glow sticks had overwhelmed the group. The speed bonus provided by the headbands meant Krono was already being crushed by a mountain of man belly before he even realized what was happening. As beads of sweat began to roll down Marleâs well toned abdominals, the frenzied crowd pushed closer and closer to the stage, hoping to catch a single drop of that sweet elixir in their mouths.
Krono knew he had to do something before things got out of hand. He leapt to the stage and grabbed Marle and began to run. The crowd erupted into a fury of howling and sobbing. Marle, desperately trying her top up said âJeez! What are you doing!? You DONâT have to FORCE ME INTO A DARK BACK ALLEY LIKE SOME RAPISTâ. After much running and few almost nipple slips, they had finally evaded the crowd. âMou KronoâŠyouâre so boldâŠte-hehâ Krono realized he was pinning Marle against a tree. He began to apologize profusely. âIâm just kidding, do you think your friendâs display is ready yet?â They looked over to the general direction of Luccaâs teleporter. There was a big explosion, and a skull shaped plume of smoke with cat ears began to rise. âNopeâŠnot yetâŠtee-heeâŠoh hey lookâŠa cat! Letâs return it to the owner!â After around 3 or 4 tries, either involving the cat getting stuck on tables or stairs, or that one time they walked a bit too fast and it disappeared from existence, they were finally they got it back to the original owner. âThank you Onii-chan! Iâm am fairly confident you arenât a rapist!â Marle smiled and said âYup, not a RAPIST TRYING TO CUT MY HEAD OFF at allâ She hooked Kronoâs arm and said, âLets go see your friend!â
At the top of the hill, Lucca was tapping her foot impatiently, her look of mild annoyance turned to a smile as she saw that massive spikes of his hair bobbing up the stairs, and quickly grew panicked and angry at the sight of a scantily dressed girl who was oddly similar to the pictures on the back of all their coinage. âWha-wha-wha-WHO IS THAT GIRLâŠGEEEEEEEE!?!â she shrieked. âIâm Marle-desuâ she said, giving a sideways peace sign, causing stars to shoot out from her wink. Lucca stared at her chest for a good minute. âUtter defeatâŠsob sobâŠâ she said, crawling on all fours. âNo! I must win him over with the power of scienceâ she thought to herself, making a fist, her glasses went white with determination. âAlright! Observe my new teleporter device! Rather than just teleporting you somewhere, it teleports you into a new set of clothes! It will revolutionize the way we dressâ She stepped into the left teleporter, and with a flash of light and something sparking effects, her body was broken down to the molecular level and transported to the right teleporter, but now clad in a gothic lolita get up. There was sparse applause from the crowd, âit doesnât really suit youâ they collectively thought. âOOoh! OOH! DO ME DO ME!â Marle shouted, jumping up and down. The crowd burst into raucous applause. Lucca tried her best to hide her dissapoyance. âWellâŠI better put her in something modestâŠbut I didnât have time to test out anything flatteringâŠmaybe these prototype frog jammies will doâ Lucca thought as she set the machine to pajamas. âAll right, just step up right hereâŠyou cat thieving tube top hussyâ she added under her breath. âSWITCH-EEâŠON!!!â As she pulled the big lever. It all started out normalâŠbut then sparks turned black and purple lightning began shooting all over the place âWhatâs happening!?! My pendant isâŠUUUHHHHWAAAAA!!!â Marleâs clothes were ripped to shreds, revealing her perfectly textured pink nipples as her breasts jiggled independently from each other.
Krono recoiled in horror and hid his eyes, but the damage was done. There was an explosion and then the crowd gasped and went silent. Krono peeked from under his hands and saw that Marle was one, only the massive pendant lay on the ground. He went over to pick it up âWait Krono! The machine is still active!â Lucca tried to warn him. As he bent over and picked up the amulet, there was a bright flash of light and a portal opened up. âNYYYAAANN-HIP-ATTACKU!â Krono look up and saw a golden brown bottom flying at him. The important bits were covered by a fur loincloth and cat tail as they collided with Kronoâs face. âDANNA SAMA!â Krono found himself being subjected to a skinship assault. A beautiful amazonian woman with cat ears and skimpy outfit was rubbing herself all over him, purring gently. Krono could barely contain his shock and disgust. âAyla-chanâŠâ said a small voice. âYou forgot your pants againâ It was a dead pan girl. No more than 13 years old. Probably twelve and a half. She had silver hair , pale skin and carried a scythe. âNANI!!!â Cried Lucca âWho are these girls!? And you! What are you doing to Krono!?â âOh Danna sama! Iâve missed you so much!â The amazon said, still straddling Krono. She turned to Lucca and said âIâm Ayla-desu-Nya, and that is Magi-nyanâ âDonât call me Magi-chan!â the little girl said as she stamped her foot. The tiny leather booties barely made any noise. âI am Magnus! Dark lord! Master of elemenaaaaahhhh!â The little girl couldnât finish her sentence as Ayla began to nibble on one of her elfin ears. âMou! Magi-nyan so kawaiiâŠI still love mewâ âAyla Onee-samaâŠnoâŠnot hereâ she said, trying to contain her voice. Krono, not knowing what they were doing, but was oddly attracted to it couldnât help but stare as a faint trickle of blood ran down from his nose. Lucca was furious âKrono-kun NO ECCHI!!!â as she pulled out a massive blaster. Krono desperately tried to scramble away, âWhy does this always happen to me!!!â
Next week on Kromo

RIP Keiji Nakazawa
Nekomonogatari Black
Spoiler
Well, that was pretty interesting. Basically more in line with the original Bakemono than Nise; even though the 1st part had some of these latter vibes with the whole Tsukihi bit. Iâm curious if people would feel sorry for Hanekawa for what she went through; and how she managed to âbe oneâ with the cursed cat spirit. Araragiâs plan in getting Black Hanekawa to be hit by the sword was pretty foolhardy :lol: but I guess Shinobu being there worked in his favor. That said, Black Hanekawa once again shows how sheâs a much more interesting character than her regular self, despite the myriad of cat puns.
Looking forward for that 2nd set of stories!
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha #1
Spoiler
The basic introductory episode where the hero meets the âdemon kingâ (or rather queen, as it should) and a bit of a back story regarding the war between humans and demons; as well as her attempts in bringing peace in her own way. Number of funny moments here or there; and the banter between both has potential to be as good as Lawrence and Horoâs in S&W. Will be watching this one for sure.
Aaaaaawwww, Iâm reading Usagi Drop.
Thatâs pretty much what I got from it. I turned it off at first when the chick first presented herself and her tits bounced like 3 times in a second, meanwhile dude was all in shock. I was like yep, I already know what kind of show this is gonna be, next. But then I gave it a shot and watched the whole thing and realized, yep this IS DEFINITELY what this show is gonna be about. All that economics and politics is just a front to sell us a titty/harem show. My bad, my speculation is that is actually going to be a DOUBLE harem with regular harem antics and REVERSE harem shit, judging only by the first episode, not knowing shit about what it is based on. Am I right or am I just that fucking jaded?
Edit: God dammit Kromo, I hate the fact that THAT is EXACTLY what a Cronotrigger show would be like if it came out todayâŠ
Nekomonogatari was awesome. Hanekawaâs bra in episode 3 was top tier. I need a figure of her in that outfit.
Guess Iâll have to try Maoyuu as it looks Winter 2013 is gonna be kinda bland. All the monogatariâs except katanagatari were just not my thing. Only the new Beserk movie exciting me.
Well since Spice and Wolf (by the same writer) managed to go through 2 seasons whilst staying about economics and not degenerating into harem bullshit itâs got a good chance of not turning out like that.
Of course it always has the chance of going down the shitter like anything can, but it seems unlikely.
