...Stuff was about to go down, and then I caught up. <_< Time for one chapter per month.

Well now you can busy your time with watching the anime!

I've purposefully been holding out on the magna, because I know when I start I won't be able to stop and then I won't have anything... Except maybe the prequel manga...

Tonight's episode of Space Dandy was incredibly disappointing.

 

I just don't know how something that should have been so good has been so terrible to this point. It baffles me completely.

[Stars]

 

I had to.

[Xteven Xavier]

Yeah true enough about the space dandy.

[Lackadaisy]

You guys need to like, go on Crunchyroll or something.

 

I can't say I'm seeing any really new shit, didn't really like Attack on Titan.

 

So, what I'm currently jerking off to cuz anime durrherr  watching/reading-

 

-Hayate the Combat Butler (Still watching the anime, stopped reading manga for a bit after chapter... 410? Somewhat hit and miss in both the manga and anime, but pretty good nonetheless. Gets a bit focused on the plotline in the later chapters of the manga)

-The World God Only Knows (It's old and known but still pretty g8 m8)

-Kill La Kill (Nothing terribly new and refreshing, but bretty good)

-Watamote (It's pretty funny in the manga and anime, but fucking feels every single goddamn shitty place goddamn it all)

 

 

I'm also watching Cowboy Bebop cause I'm too young to have those nostalgic feels. Is it me or were episodes 1-4 like just exposition episodes or some shit? It's like episode 5 was another anime entirely.

[Monkeydog]

What are you talking about? For the first four episodes to be exposition there would have to be an over arching story line to Cowboy Bebop, which there isn't. There is about 6 episodes of overarching story, all involving Vicious/Spike or Faye (which episode 5 is the first episode with Vicious in it). Besides that the show is very anti-serialized. Almost like a series of vignettes, or sitcomish to a degree. It's more of a focus on characters (like Toys in the Attic), both the mains and the "villain" of the episode (like Sympathy for the Devil).

So to add to the talk totally on accident, I'm up to episode 23 of Attack on Titan and everything hurts

[Lackadaisy]

Huh.

So, what mangas are you guys reading? I'm reading Kenichi with GRATUITOUS AMOUNTS OF FANSERVICE. Also picked up SaiKano, which for the first few chapters nearly jerked a tear out of me.

Also, Monkey, I was talking about in terms of general awesomeness. I mean episodes 1-4 were pretty OK, but then episode 5 was pretty fucking epic. Although that's just opinion.

I swiped my girlfriend's volumes of Yu Yu Hakusho while I was on vacation, so those are what I read most recently. I made it up to volume 10 before I had to give them back...

I can see that. For two reasons:

A) The first few episodes are a bit rough because you're being introduced to a lot of people and there's not much at stake for most of it. The most intense episode is the first one and it's not really intense for Spike/Jet, and you're just getting to know them. I feel like they work better on rewatches.

 

B) Episodes with Vicious are the best episodes.

i watched 5 episodes of full metal alchemist brotherhood. it goes absolutely nowhere. some guys are talking in one place, then they walk somewhere and talk in some other place. then there's some action, then more talking, more talking, and either some action leading to the next episode, or even more talking that ends the current episode. i really miss Lupin the 3rd, it was really funny. the only torrents i found were for the movies which were meh

[Monkeydog]

FMB gets better, I think. Around the time 

Spoiler

Hughes dies.

 

The whole latter half of that show is pretty intense. 

 

But yeah, after really growing out of anime FMB has a lot of terrible aspects to it, even if I still like it. Just not as much.

[Stars]

Fixed yer spoiler tag, yo.

[Monkeydog]

Darn. I don't know how to MP.

 

Also I feel like, as far as known spoilers go, that's a pretty known one if you know anything about that series.

[Stars]

Well I certainly didn't know about it.

 

Not that I have any plans to watch Brotherhood in the near ever.

[Monkeydog]

But did you watch the original anime? I'm confused.

[Stars]

I've seen bits and pieces on tv, but I never made a point of watching it, no.

[Stars]

So I went into work this morning, and I had to do a double take when I noticed the first volume of Attack on Titan: Junior High.

[SpazCat]

WHAT?!
