Shit you've read or watched that was pretty good, but is barely ever talked about.
>>121724293
Oh hey, Kekkaishi. That manga was pretty good.
>>121724293
Not bad.
The beginning was very good, but the last arc was way too long. And the plot (the brothers fight) was too hard to understand for me.

This was good up until the end where it falls into the cliche power of friendship crap.
It wasn't the best show by far, but it was definitely an interesting watch.
shit made me almost cry a couple of times, can't wait to see what he does for his next work.
>>121724423
I liked it when they went more in depth over what exactly their Kekkai powers were, and then how ready Yoshimori was to sacrifice himself towards the end. He was just plain depressing, I loved it.
>>121724555
This really was a great show. It was very easy-going, and an overall relaxing watch. It's pretty much How to Tame Your Dragon: the anime.
I liked it a lot, but it's not for everyone I guess.
Never see it discussed on /a/ at least.
>>121724604
Loved how they handled Kekkai powers.
>>121724706
Hiccup gets a prosthetic leg, Erin gets a mitten
This show confused the fuck out of me, but the shota was cute, and it was really interesting.
Witch hunter
>>121724591
Gash Bell was better and more tears.
But Doubustsu was good too. The plot was just a little stupid. I mean all animals can talk except for fish because it tackled a problem that had no realistic solution. Carnivores will always eat meat. Someone has to die.
>Manga is over>S2 never
Houshin Engi.
Only the manga though.
>>121725544
Are you currently reading Witch hunter? I sort of stopped at a point where the MC was training with another disciple of his master that still had halloween.
The MC's Halloween had turned into Arthur.
And well they were training to get better.
Do you know what chapter that is? I'd like to get back to it but can't find the right chapter.
>>121725569
yeah, the fish not being able to talk seemed like a huge flaw but remember there were some that were eating even their own kind, eating just for fun,or eating just because they were strong. but the fruits should have tackled most of that problem.but i do need to read gash bell I don't know If Im ready after reading this.
>>121725754
If I had to rank them out of 10.
Gash would be 10/10
and Doubutsu would be a 6/10
That's how good Gash is.
>>121725693
Sadly i myself haven't got to that bit yet I'm on chapter 51 and there was a meeting about revealing the 4 witches hide out but the main character supporter had to be taken away from him
>>121725807
I disliked how he brought Gash into Doubutsu. Just from a personal point of view.
>>121725861
When was Gash in Doubutsu?
Are you talking about that chimera kid?
>>121725807
I will read gash bell, but I don't know I've never had a manga to actually make me come to the brink of crying SEVERAL times. feel like it should get at least 1 more point.
>>121725861
I don't think he did. that was ponygon I think he made a side story so people would know about his other manga since it said he moved to another magazine.
Deserves an OVA at the least.
>>121725901
The score wasn't compared to any other work. Just in comparisson to each other.
Like if Gash were a 10/10 then douboutsu would be a 6/10.
In general if I compare it with other series it would get a solid 8 at least.
>>121725901
>>121725897
Not Gash himself, but the Gash universe, like how we had Kiyo's descendant and the guy declaring himself a sort of Mamono King, and the cloak evoking Gash's image.
>>121724293
I remember reading somewhere that Kekkaishi never had any hype because it focused a lot more on character development over powerlevels, which is super odd for a shonen manga.
Good series, the MC was a great character.
>>121725980
ooh. still i feel I need to take some time for my heart to heal before I start gash. why did they translaste gash to zatch?
>>121726029
Oh that side story? I didn't read it cause i didnt want to get spoiled before i went to read the manga.
It reminds me of D. Gray-man back when it was good.
>>121726114
I dunno. Translators are weird. Back then they always translated names. I remember reading One Piece in french and Zoro was Zolo and Ussop was Pipo.
>>121726152
>korean name
fuck that noise they' either terrible or love suffering.
>>121726181
zoro I can understand but usopp? come on.
>>121724591

>>121725861
>>121725901
I've always found Raiku to be an oddball among mangaka: He's got ridiculously juvenile sense of humor, but he's written some of the most intense scenes I've ever seen in a manga. Most authors go one or the other, if either at all.
I recommend Aosora from him. Very heavy.
>>121726114
Probably because a gash is a kind of wound and "m-muh soccermoms".
>>121724293
Fucking Yoshi becomes chill as fuck and can become a god of a small area. Pretty cool MC
>>121726636
totally agree I didn't finish the anime but the anime didn't make me feel, but that's probably because of the dub being weak.
Serial Experiments Lain
Confusing as hell, but for some reason managed to make sense by the end.
Cesare or The Prince: the manga
>>121725610
Tittyko is probably my favorite female MC.
such a shame it's not talked about. The anime was good too.We never got too see Ninja animated
>>121724293
The stuff with the mom at the end kind of reminded me of the sister from Katanagatari.
>>121727674
>No animated Tanpopo
>No animated Nadeshiko
>No animated giant God battle
>>121725610
This manga was so consistently funny, even when shit got serious.
This
I never see anyone talk about fantastic children.I felt really bad for Seth. He gets cucked by his best friend, makes a huge fuck up, gets reincarnated on earth and gets close to the one he loves only to not win her in the end and proceeds to lose her to the same guy again after all the shit he goes through for her.
It was cliched beyond human understanding, but I still enjoyed it.
It has probably the worst anime adaptation I've ever seen in my life, of course thanks to DEEN.
Ushio and Tora. I can see it getting really popular when the anime comes out in the summer though.
>>121728104
That was such a great series. I'm currently really diggin his other work Karakuri Circus. He draws such great faces.
>>121728272
Karakuri circus is awesome and his art style goes really well with the carnival theme. It seems ridiculously unpopular though.
>>121728272
>He draws such great faces.
Yes he does.
>>121725424
People talk Mushi-shi a lot though...
>>121728463
He added gums to his repertoire.
>>121724555
Motherfuckers will never finish translating the manga. At most 3 chapters over the last few years! It was so detailed and pretty. Why?!
>>121727864
Mah nigger
This show was fucking nice
>>121728104
>>121728272
both of these are excellent series
The translations are still super slow, but good shit. I'm still glad the translations even exist at all.
I read Oyasumi Punpun.
>>121730090
I remember this was coming out around the same time as Gash Bell, but I was more interested in Gash Bell. Is it any good?
This right here.
>>121731016
nah that series (and its mangaka) is talked about a lot
>>121731213
I must miss all the threads then, damnit
>>121731290
current threads are all about bitching about too much yuri and not enough /ss/.
>>121731386
yuri arc just ended, or is there more?
>>121724555
Should've been 36 episodes but FLASHBACKS: The anime
Still liked it a lot though.
I've never read a manga that I felt deserved an anime more in my life
![Dorohedoro - 16 [THANKS].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/0ypHRmJ.jpg "Dorohedoro - 16 [THANKS].jpg")
>>121724293
The ending was kinda meh, though.
>>121724710
It's always mentioned in those cinematography and hippie threads. Shit was cash.
>>121732321
For one, not a manga, but a webtoon
For two, you are mah fucking korean nigga!
>>121732321
Is it still on hiatus?
>>121732640
Yeah I get that but in spirit to me it's manga, pretty pictures with words for my simplistic mind
Fuck yeah I wonder what studio would do it best?
>>121732833
What? I read the new chaps every week
>>121731694
was waiting for that arc to end probably should catch up.
>>121732833
It was never on hiatus, you probably thinking about Noblesse.
>>121724293
It was pretty good. Stands out for planning ahead, not dragging on, unique powers, andpeople dying when they are killed.
I wish Birdmen translations would pick the fuck up again.
>>121733838
There was one when the author was getting his hand fixed in between "seasons", anon was probably thinking of that.
>>121733237
Shit I stopped reading when Bam cut his hair.
>>121725657
This shit had one of the most atrocious dubs of all time in my native language.
Even the original one was bad. WTF.
>>121734244
Yeah I rather enjoyed his badass long hair with black robe, so fucking cool
![psyren18[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/dQUnok7.jpg "psyren18[1].jpg")
I wish there was more of this series but I heard it got cancelled so they had to rush for an ending
>>121734356
Psyren was so good.
>>121733838
He was talking about when the author had to do a hand surgery. He's better, and the plot moves on.
S2 is disappointing, most of the magic of S1 is gone. For now, it's just an average manga, doesn't help that Baam has the personality of a sand paper.
>>121734453
>For now, it's just an average manga, doesn't help that Baam has the personality of a sand paper.
Sums up my feelings well. The latest arc is just not doing it for me.
>>121734453
>>121734481
I thought this too, but I started thinking about reading season one from the beginning, all the mystery, all the gripping cliffhangers, a lot kept me interested and yeah it's getting kinda weird now but I still love it
A huge part of what feels wrong with it is it's moving heavily away from the tests and floors, it's sort of this go here do that kind of thing, I liked it better when characters had labels and specialties now it's just, "I can do this cause this, this does this cause this"
I loved when they explained how shit worked now it's just bam bam bang bam
>>121725657
People know this shit? Taikoubou is one of the greatest motherfuckers around.
>>121735216
I think SIU has a pretty good idea of what his Manwha wants to be. But the execution is always underwhelming.
In S1, it was all about strategy and teamwork. It had the Mysteries of Tower and so on.
But now, the games are always full on brawl battles just like your average manga/Manwha.
Every character introduced in S2 doesn't hold a candle to any S1 character, they always feel like cannon folders to me, with really flat personalities. SIU has this problem of introducing too many characters, and not developing any of them in any meaningful way.
Baam doesn't help to hold the manwha up, as he has the personality of a plastic bag so...
>>121735666
You misspelled Chou Koumei
>>121725657
Is it good? I only remember watching the anime as a kid but other than how the MC looks and his ugly pet I don't really remember what it was about, I imagine it was shit for kids with asspulls and what not but you never know with the manga.
>>121734453
>>121735216
I have to agree, although the start of S2 was not bad. It was interesting because the MC was reintroduced to us as a mysterious character. We don't know what happened to him over the timeskip or if he's a completely different person now. But no, he's almost exactly the same person, just "OP" instead of "full of potential." The following arcs have all been very predictable and formulaic.
