    Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

    Death Note was more annoying than enjoyable for me. I ended up disliking nearly every character on the show after about 4-5 episodes.

    Attack on Titan is alright. I mean it takes forever for anything to make sense (at this rate it will be 2025 before anything is truly revealed), but the animation is pretty cool.

      New "porper" Tenchi Muyo series announced. The last installment of "Ryo Ohki" wasn't up to the original, but hopefully the fourth one is. Always a fan of classic Tenchi.

        If you have netflix I HIGHLY SUGGEST watching death note(50 episodes) and attack on titan(24 episodes) they kinda lean more towards seinen and have very grounded storyline's and character's.

        Any ecchi manga enthusiast here?
        Depends on what it is.

        Also I dispised Death Note. Just way to slow and didn't make no since to me.

        As for Attack on Titan I'm indifferent about it. I was reading the Manga but then stopped. Watch a couple of episodes of anime and again just stopped. Not sure how I feel about it.

        Naruto is a series I read/watched all the time. Original Naruto was pretty good, Naruto Shippuden was pretty bad. They completely forgot/didn't care about half the cast and other teams and that ending....man. Kishi wrote himself into a corner with madara and had to come up with something to "get rid of" him.

        DragonBall was great. Original had ballance of characters, overcoming challenges, etc. With Z they completely went the other direction with it. Turning Gohan into the world's biggest joke, making most of the cast irrelevant, etc. It got to be Goku/Vegeta vs everyone and made it very stale. Tien, Picolo, Yamcha, Krillan just stopped getting any screen time and got stuck in time which IMO hurt the series.

        That's where imo One Piece differs from most Shonen. All of the Luffy crew and even most of the other characters are powerful, can take care of themselves. Hell Zoro may be stronger than actual Luffy then you got Sangi I'm contention as well. Not a fan of OP but that's excellent planning.

          Everything pasty the halfway point in Death Note was trash. I hated the new characters that got introduced

          As for long running manga/anime the only one I'm a real fan of is Bleach. Though Kubo has this habit of Ichigo ***pulling a new power every arc. Luckily the other fights are entertaining. Will be sad to see it go once this current arc ends.

            -I am fan of all Ryuuta's work Nana to Kaoru is my #1 right now followed by to-love-ru darkness Nozoki Ana is my all time favorite have read it like 20 times!

            -It took me 3 runs with attack on titan's first season for me to wrap my head around it, I think it has that matrix effect, either you get it and like it right away or you dont.

            -Kishi should have never introduced madara at all in the end. The pein invasion arc was the perfect ending to part 2 at the very least. I think if kishi made the last arc a part 3 and took some time off before starting it he could have finished alot stronger.

            -My biggest gripe with DBZ is that gohan never got passed the torch.....smh

              This sums up everything about Attack on Titan for me. That show animation and art style is amazing but the delivery of everything else is just so damn slow and confusing. I'm still confused a little on what they are trying to do. Going to watch it over once season 2 comes out.

              Only watched about 5-6 episodes of Death Note and that got boring quick. Never going to watch it again.

                This may be the main reason why I love One Piece that much. All the characters are relevant even if they aren't apart of Luffy crew. The story is simple but is well done, and I don't see it stopping for a while. Also the fillers are 2-3 episodes max, while the arcs are 40-50 episodes.

                I think your mistaken on who the strongest, it obviously Chopper then God Usopp. He has a $50 bounty just for stealing Cotton Candy.

                    Started to watch some of the Summer anime I missed. Overlord is great. I was expecting it to be like Log Horizon and SAO but it wasn't. The main character doesn't seem like he want to return to the real world, and I love how his race affects changed him. Still a little confused with the story.

                    I didn't expect Charlotte to be that good. I like how it starts off being slice of life then changes over time. The last episode was great despite being hinted at. The character development was good.

                    Going to watch Working next. I'm starting to like Slice of Life anime.

                        That show took some turns I never expected - and believe me, I'm quite used to expecting the unexpected when Key Visual Arts is involved.

                            New Full Metal Panic adaptation announced.

                            Finally they're continuing FMP. The last series was "Second Raid". The novels are finished, hopefully it goes back to Kyoto Animation.

                            New Gundam announced.

                            Finally, a new UC Gundam.

                            I haven't been this hyped for a group of shows in a while. New Tenchi, New FMP, New proper Gundam
