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

nyaa.eu. Tons of vids.

Both are streaming it

Anyway I cracked and caught up on the manga once we finish the training arc next ep I believe shit will be hitting the fan all the way til the end. Can wait to see the reactions to what goes down shit gets pretty crazy.

what is this world?

*I totally forgot about Nakas quote in episode 2 “take me over that hill”. I think that is quite the hint in where this is all going. Ep 3 comments (and reply to your comments below):

[details=Spoiler]Absolutely love how the darkness slowly turns into light and how it shows signs of life all around town. People you normally never come into contact with or pay attention to is suddenly a impediment for you covering up your “dirty deed”. Much like how Naka busted him taking Saekis belongings in the first place. And then we have"that" scene that took place in the library. I unfortunately got spoiled by the gif before I got a chance to watch the episode but the context of that action had even more meaning than I thought.

How Naka tears away Kasugas clothing is essentially what she’s trying to do to his character: ripping away the veneer to what she believes he’s really hiding and replacing what he “wears” with something else. It was definitely a interesting effect of Kasuges feint attempt to appeal to Naka by handing her his book which she (surprisingly) rebuffed. At first I thought it was because she didn’t have any deep interest in the words that was actually written within, but I was very wrong: she is the book. She is the dark desire, she is the angst, she is the physical embodiment of that Kasuga’s curiosity wants to explore. But I do wonder how much of it is teenage curiosity and how much of it is genuine personality traits on Kasuga’s behalf.

Since those hidden desires is in direct contrast to Kasuges obsession with purity and perfection, which Naka is fervently trying to break apart. The “deviency” that both Kasuga and Naka share is overwhelmingly prevalent: their abnegation of social norms. Weather it’s Kasugas anachronistic maxims, affinity for books, and his ideals of “purity”. Or Nakas red hair, borderline misanthropy, and her underlining sinister nature. Though I wonder when and from what these were born from in her case and weather her “contract” with Kasuga is her trying to find someone like her or if it’s some other ulterior motive. In either case Kasuga seemed rather enchanted by her confession of how she felt towards the world.

I definitely agree with you, how he spoke up for Naka was cute. In fact the last half of the episode was rather cute to see them bonding and getting along, even despite it at first seeming one sided I think the main characters curiosity is starting to shift towards Naka.That entire classroom showdown just showed how much of a dick everyone else is in that classroom weather it was the girl accusing Naka, telling the MC to go sit down and read his book or Kasugas friend calling him lame for liking Naka. Kids can be dicks when they’re young. . [/details]*

Fun Fact: The German was spoken by Tetsuya Kakihara. He lived in Germany as a child and is fluent in it.

Does Japan have some sort of history with Germany? Seen quite a few shows where they involve German in the script.

lol was that a real question or a joke… if it was a real question then yes lol.

But thanks for the info on MGL, I had no idea it was a whole tv series and what not. I just saw the commercial for the second movie during Vs. Arashi and decided to check it out after they showed that badass cannon thing.

Don’t watch a lot of anime, mostly gundam/mech stuff which there isnt much of anymore so I rarely have anything to keep up on lol.

Dont know who that is but its pretty cool to know. Just having fairly recent flashbacks of Kaji’s “english” in the opening of the second Eva movie lol.

Oh lol never mind. I just derped on that question.

lol it happens to the best of us. But in more recent times, theres a lot of novels from Germany that were brought over that did fairly well, as well as German products being popular like water filters, least thats what I assume because they make the point in every Brita commercial to say its from Germany lol (I had no clue). That and one of those gossipy ladies mags says German guys are the best Euro boys to date… I have alot of free time to read things like this haha.

there isnt shit to watch during the week, nothing comes out till friday or saturday…this season sucks.

First world problems.

Oh sorry, he’s the VA for Simon in Lagann among other shows. He’s been casted in other shows that utilize his German.

Valvrave is so damn ridiculous. L-Elf could give prep time Batman a run for his money.

It means you have more time to go do something more productive.

I love this. I kill all of my show watching on sunday. anime in the morning, game of thrones at night, dont have to worry about anything for the rest of the week. Beautiful.

Yea I’ve had the majority of my shows come out towards the end of the week for a while now. It’s great, there’s less distractions so you can focus better during the weekdays on whatever it is you have to do work/study/etc.
When I get bored and want to watch something, I’ll just go through my backlog and pick out something episodic that I can put down after an episode or two (Gintama for example).

This anime season has more shows im watching this time around than the last one, and the quality of the content is rather good too. With 3 non-gundam mech shows, oreimo, Hayate, and a few others im kinda set. I’m just still overhyped for the Neptunia Animation.

That commercial wasn’t just a one-off commercial…


Fujoshi’s gonna snap this one up like hotcakes, they gonna be so free to this lol Airing in July.
KyoAni moehaters finally got what they asked for, something not moe out of them lol

That’s good news. Now I finally have a character I can aspire to! Can’t do that with women. That shit would be weird! :lol:

wat da fuck is dis shit…who still does recap episodes…god dammit!!!

Er… I’m assuming Railgun takes place sometime before or during Index S1 because I could’ve sworn Misaka knew and went through all this Sister stuff during that one Accelerator arc.

UTW subs for EVA 3.33 are already out now btw.
