The new anime and manga thread! [Use Spoiler Tags!]


Shorty

Recommended Posts

Ok I'm looking to waste some Christmas money and could use some opinions on the following shows:

 

Haikyu

 

Nobunaga The Fool

 

Trinity Seven

 

Edit: Got some recommendations on another forum and was told to definitely drop Nobunaga so i ordered the others.

So, I've recently watched Joker Game, a surprisingly good espionage thriller. It's a bunch of mostly disconnected stories about Japanese spies working during the early stages of WWII. It's only 12 episodes long, but each episode is worthy of being rewatched. I highly recommend it.

 

I've also bought the first volume of the newly-released Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Manga. It's... surprisingly dark. Like, it feels Berserk-lite in parts.

 

I certainly did not foresee King Bulblin cutting off Link's arm. Or licking Ilya's face while making an implied rape threat

:shakehead

 

 

It's supposed to be the longest Zelda Manga yet, so I'm looking forward to reading the rest.

One Piece - Collection 8

Robotics Notes

Code Geass - Season 2

Deadman Wonderland

Cowboy Bebop

Durarara!!

Black Lagoon - Season 1

Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu

Mirai Nikki: Future Diary

Aldnoah.Zero

Death Note

Samurai Flamenco

Log Horizon - Season 2

Accel World

Trinity Seven

High School DXD

High School of the Dead

Steins Gate

Haiykuu!

Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero

Still slowly working my way through the One Piece dvd collections. On no.7 at the moment in the middle of the Skypiea arc. Not sure how its viewed by everyone else but I'm feeling its one of the weaker ones so far personally. Just feels so disconnected (for obvious reasons) from the rest of the show so I cant bring myself to care too much about whats going on.

It's actually an important arc for a number of reasons, but definitely has a different tone to it. I thought it was interesting that there was an enemy where the protagonist is immune to his ability. Of course it had to come up at at some point that rubber doesn't conduct electricity.

 

Collection 15 just came out so you still have a bit of catching up to do. :p

Is that the anime @drahkon? At its current place or just where you're up to?

 

It's definitely one of the most drawn out animes. I hope one day the trend of putting an episode on every week is abandoned in favour of downtime while the manga makes progress.

Manga. Haven't seen the anime in a long time. The last arc I've seen was Impel Down.

 

The anime is definitely worse than the manga when it comes to pacing, but sometimes the manga can drag, too...
