The Anime / Manga Thread (MK2) | Beware Spoilers

I'm enjoying Kabaneri though ep 3 really made me wonder why

Hide

Mumei never bothered to tell Ikoma that he's going to turn into a regular zombie if he doesn't feed, that seems kind of important, all the more so if they were going to be spending 3 days in solitary confinement.

Netoge is still a kinda bad but watchable guilty pleasure

and to round out the Thursday shows that I'm watching (except Sakamoto because that's not subbed yet apparently), Kuromukuro tuned out to be better than expected. It's like a 6/10 probably but it still has some enjoyable moments and the first episode was more like a 4/10 so I'm glad I got bored and watched the second one, I guess.

Joker Game is actually turning out really nice despite Production IG. I think having that recap of the core concept every episode makes much more sense now that I know the way that the show is set up (episode three was independent of episodes 1-2 outside of using one of the characters ep 1 introduced, and episode 4 was also independent of all episodes prior) and I'm generally really enjoying it so far. If you dropped it 'cause IG I suggest you give it another try.

read the manga too if you're into manga! :D

e: i do think its story and action is much better suited for anime tho which is why im rlly happy the anime is turning out the way it is

Assclass already skipped a few fun miniarcs in the manga; i just hope they include everything from here on out. What happens next is especially fucking cool.
Encourage all to read the manga and most certainly watch the show :]

I went around screaming at everyone I know to watch Big Order after today's episode. After the show met such ridiculous expectations that I had of it, I laughed my ass off for almost a half hour when I was done with it. Truly, this show is a masterpiece.

also new kabaneri was cool i guess, i'll be late to the mayoiga train again

Shit. I don't want to sit through the entire show just because it's Stupid Hilarious some of the time. Needs an abridged version.

Flying Witch is the best thing ever.

That is all I have to say about animu.

 

[RODAN]

next season looks pretty great

more shokuegeki / sds / ANIME ORIGNAL!!! Danganronpa / ACTIVE RAID

its gonna b trill

 

[brightobject]

for anyone who's excited for mob psycho 100 be warned that the comic was basically opm but with *slightly* more depth

 

[Martin]

I've been putting off reading Rewrite solely so that I could go into it blind this summer. Lets hope it does ithe VN justice :)

Edit: Finally! Haifuri stopped following the same formula!

 

[shaian]

oo new game, amaama to inazuma, and amanchu all look dope lookin' forward

 

[soulgazer]

finally a good summer for animu

 

[watashi]

holy shit planetarian, is this real. get ready for feels

looking forward to rewrite and the dogakobo show too

 

[Srn]

Looking forward to shokugeki season 2 more than anything. I dont think they'll catch up to the manga tho, even with an entire season.

danganronpa the animation is one of my favorite animes too, hyped to see how they'll carry that out.

EDIT: @below the manga and anime match up near perfectly, and I hope it stays that way, because the manga is getting hype af right now

 

[Martin]

Ya I'm rlly hyped for Shokugeki no Souma. I thoroughly enjoyed s1 and am looking forward to s2. Anyone who's read the manga, how does it match up compared to the anime? Is it worth reading or should I just stick with the anime adaptation like I've been doing with Shingeki no Kyoujin?

Also the concept of Planetarian ~Chiisana Hoshi no Yume~ looks right down my alley. I'm looking forward to it :D

 

[Martin]

Double posting because its kinda relevant considering the screenshot, but for anyone who's interested Planetarian and Clannad are both on sale on steam for 50% off until the end of the day. I just picked them both up and am planning on playing them after my exams finish.

calling Bananya out for AotY already

the manga is really good generally all the way through, the characters have a lot of personality and play off of each other pretty well and the art is more or less consistently great

I'd say recently it's been stalling a little bit and the current arc doesn't live up to the tournament / stagiare / following arcs, but that's honestly probably more due to how strong the middle half of the series is.

IMO just watch the second season and then read the rest of it after that, so you can experience the second season totally fresh

 

[Acklow]

Hi ReLife is a great romcom. Just wanted to plug that.

I would argue the most recent arc is extremely engaging. It has a ton of unexpected twists and turns. I wouldn't say it's been stalling at all

I disagree to be quite honest, Bananya's first and second arcs were the series' strongest and the ones that really got me into the series, the current one might have lots of ~woo woo~ plot twists but the character development is really lacking for me.

I think he was talking about Shokugeki no Souma's manga in response to the comment that Jeebus made about it in response to my question--not Banyana.

[newtonja]
