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

also, I’m pretty sure I know who you are, but what was your old handle?

This looks like an accurate depiction of your average Japanese highschool girl. I applaud them for their efforts.

lol what design? It gives an impression of a real person; not some owl-eyed squeaky-voice big-head girl. I don’t see how it may get fucked up, but the synopsis doesn’t say it’ll get very messed up. There’s that flower of Evil but I haven’t a clue what it’s significance is.

Very pleased with Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Bride, not only is turning the Yagyuu dojo into a Maid Cafe a central plot point, it is also airing uncensored.

Photokano is a nice, straight up harem without too many pretensions or gimmicks. Just a regular guy at a regular highschool who happens to be childhood friends with the most popular, prettiest girl who obviously likes him but he doesn’t have the slightest clue. I have high hopes for a BD “photoshoot” special that is more than “borderline erotic”

My Teenage RomCom Snafu: This anime peered deep into my soul and I liked it. Its kind of like My girlfriend and childhood friend fight too much with a side of Boku wa tomodatchi, except, toned down to just Sena and Yozora. Very verbose. Quite dense for a lighthearted comedy. I like how he is a bad person, and she is mean to him because of it. Makes me rock hard.

Red Data Girl: Stopped watching like, a minute into the intro…there was like six dudes. That shit is gay (the bad kind). Anyone who watches this should be ashamed of themselves. Bunch of filthy fujioshi.

Hataraku Maou-Sama: The first episode was lucky there was no intro depicting two dudes living together in a small room. Show starts out all dark and violent…but I could tell it was bait and switch violence. Satan comes to our earth, but has lost most of his powers and is in the body of a bishonen. Using the last of his powers he conveniently arranges to get all the paperwork necessary for ordinary Japanese citizenship. Hilarity ensues as he and his minion adapt to common, everyday life. The hero who defeated him (consequently, wearing a full face mask in his world), turns out to be a beautiful girl who is probably going to end up moving in with him to “keep an eye on him” then later fall in love with him and he gives up his ambitions of world conquest.

Date A Live If you thought this was just going to be an ordinary harem anime just because you saw a 14 year olds striped panties 3 times in the first couple of minutes. You’re wrong. It is a BATTLE HAREM, where an ORDINARY guy must date obviously misunderstood beautiful spirit girls in order to bring about WORLD PEACE. Although, I do have to wonder how your little sister could become the commander of a invisible airship without you noticing. Then again she was a bi-polar tsundere so I guess its ok.

Yeah not watching Aku no Hana, those character redesigns are fucking horrid.

And Aku no Hana gets hela messed up, it’s something you gotta see.

That’s why I was asking. As soon as I saw it I imagined you’d flip.

Gantz’s ending will disappoint you, you’re better off reading the manga than watching the anime. Definitely give H x H a try. I was skeptical at first as well, it starts off kinda slow but shit gets real during the Phantom Troupe arc.

Give Magi a try as well and then read the manga or just read the manga and forget the anime.

Hataraku first episode was great. I just hope it can keep up the comedy.

Reads Aku no Hana

Goddamn, this MC has got to be one of the most pathetic characters ever portrayed. I cringe at every stupid, super weird thing he does.

P.S. - That bitch cray

I was ephidel. Me, you, and I think MC or GC was reading that garbage.

Well now you guys can eventually watch that garbage too lol

Shingeki #1: This show feels like a parody of 80s anime with its “dramatic” moments, complete with vertically scrolling lines. Hopefully it turns out to be more.

I did like the last scene where [details=Spoiler]the guy saw the titan and went, “fuck this.”[/details]

Gundam 00 2nd season: About halfway through and I want to kill Saji. This show would be so much better without Saji and Louise. Literally, take those two out and my enjoyment of this season would shoot up.

Speaking of horrible characters, OreImo S2 is out. Here’s hoping Kirino disappears the hell away again. Damn girl can go live in a hole with Kromo for all I care. Not sure how Kromo would feel about that but whatever, his problem lol

Holy shit at Shingeki no Kyojin, bricks were shat. Those faces.

Right, you change your screen name so much, you used to use a different one before ephidel too right? And yeah only we would attempt to read garbage like that and hope beyond reason that it could end up being good.

Like Good Ending. WHAT A FUCKING DISASTER YOU BECAME GE.

ugh.

If you aren’t watching Shingeki no Kyojin you’re messing up. I just hope it doesn’t get too “censored”.

Mikasa gonna be so godlike. My favorite animuu character since Joukyuu.

Watched the Nanoha movie…Good all around…some nice beam spam and explosion production values…but I felt it was a little bit too long. I mean, does it really take 2 and a half hours to get across a message of friendship and understanding? I think the problem was they were on the fence about making a movie that anyone could enjoy or making a movie that only fans/people who saw the second season would get. Like. if you aren’t even going to introduce Nanoha, and where she got her powers and such, or really set up any kind of context to why she is important, why take a break in the middle of the penultimate battle to have some exposition on Fate and her motivations? We already KNOW the character. Its like they were including characters for the sake of including them. I think I would have liked them to just take some liberties with the story and go for something…sort of new…If they make a 3rd movie, it should be in between A’s and Strikers.

Kromo reviewing Nanoha and not even one mention of naked loli transformation scenes.
The world is not right… lol

Anyway I felt all that Reinforce stuff at the end was dragged out a little too long. Especially when she pretty much just comes back anyway, a little bit of copout if you ask me. Oh and you need to treat your star character right, that’s why Fate gets the exposition and not Nanoha. Gotta sell them Nana Mizuki tickets and CD’s yo lol

They are; it is.
