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

I just watched half of Wolf Children.  It has a bittersweet flavor to me.  I’ll have to continue tomorrow evening.

<font face=“Arial, Verdana”>Started watching Steins;Gate yesterday and I’m currently at episode 11. Really interesting show and suprisingly funny. Show is doing a great job at keeping me on the edge of my seat. Time travel seems really complicated to write about so hopefully they don’t mess up as the story goes along.</font><div><br><div><font face=“Arial”>Besides Tsubaki, I really like the cast. I<span style=“line-height: 1.7em;”> had to get used to Okarin (or whatever his name is) though. Found him so annoying at first, but the way he interacts with tsundere Tsubaki is pretty funny. </span></font></div><div><font face=“Arial”>And Mayuri is just so goddamn adorable.</font></div><div style=“font-family: Arial, Verdana;”><br></div><div style=“font-family: Arial, Verdana;”>Any shows that you guys can recommend that are similar to this?</div></div>

Who the fuck is Tsubaki? You mean Kurisu. <i>KURISUTIIIINNNNNNA-de!</i><br><br>

I disliked every single character in steins gate other than quiet glasses girl. That’s not even hyperbole. Every. Single. One. I somehow still enjoyed it enough to finish it, the story was at least pretty good.<div><br></div><div>Downloading dat furry wolf movie along with the new walking dead ep. a perfect combination for tomorrow morning!</div>

I will probably watch more of steins;gate on a slow season, it didn’t look all that interesting to me but I keep hearing good things about it.

What you don’t find gel bananas interesting?<br>

FUK U, YOU’LL NEVER BE ABLE TO DEFEAT THE AGENCY WITHOUT GEL BANANA’S!<br>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36UIwONutmY<br><br>Having said that, Steins;Gate doesn’t really take off till about half way through. There’s a succinct turning point where shit just shifts into a whole different gear and takes off. Everything before that is just character building and them dicking around, trying to lure you into a false sense of lull. I can see how people can get bored during the 1st half though. <br><br>EDIT:<br>Wolf Children is a kind of bittersweet now that someone mentioned it. It pulls on you’re emotions more akin to Girl who Leapt Through Time than Summer Wars. <br>

Robotic Notes

[details=Spoiler]I must have missed it but why exactly does the public at large hate
GUNVARREL now after the leak of the final episode? It was 4 minutes long
and it showed the world going to shit. To my understanding, the
subliminal messages in the leak haven’t made public. It doesn’t make any
sense to me[/details]

Gunvarrel stuff

Spoiler

<br>I think the reason that the public at large still dislikes Gunvarrel is due to the incident involving the murders of the personnel at the animation company, specifically Kona’s mother finding out of the plan for the destruction of humanity and making the news about it somewhat public through the last episode of the anime.  When things went down, family of the people who were killed probably wanted an explanation why things happened and Kona’s mother (who had found out about stuff) was probably made to look like a scapegoat, the stigma of which had carried over to Kona as she grew up.  The Committee of 300 probably wanted to make an example of her, besides cover up the event, meaning anyone who got close/found stuff out was killed (Kona’s mother, the animation studio, Maguyan).  The ‘propaganda’ of the info in the Kimijima Reports could also be a factor as well, since it was made available to the public via Kai’s actions.<br><br>That’s what I think anyway.  Probably have to go back and re-watch stuff later on when the anime is complete to fully get a sense of things.<br>Things will probably get explained in full/detail in the last few episodes (hopefully) now that Kimijima has appeared.<br>

Yea my bad. I got confused since they look exactly the same and share the same voice. I was really sleepy and I’m pretty bad at remembering names in anime.

Shinsekai Yori 22

Spoiler

Fuck man, Kiromaru is kinda cool, but it doesn’t seem like he can be trusted either. That’s the vibes I’m kind of getting. :confused: Not sure what his motives are. Is he planning to double cross the group in exchange that Squeeler doesn’t kill him or something? He seemed the type to be prideful and rather die than submit to a scumbag like Squeeler, but his character isn’t that fleshed out so who knows. :expressionless: Fuck man I cannot wait until next episode. Arggggggg. Wait is gonna kill me. Who knows what kind of fucked up shit they’re going to find in Tokyo?!

<br>[details=Spoiler]A double cross would be the ultimate twist to a “bad” ending. I think at this point it’s clear Yakomaru is the one to fall by the end of the series, so I don’t think the show’s going with a double-crossing scene because don’t think there’s enough time for that.[/details]<br>

Just finished Wolf Kids. Was better than I thought it would be, though it kind of lost steam towards the end. Guess it goes:<div><br></div><div>GWLTT</div><div><br></div><div>Wolf Kids</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Summer Wars</div>

You know what’s weird? I swear most of the time I randomly turn into Adult Swim and Cowboy Bebop is on, it’s the “Toys in the Attic” episode.<br>
