Anime/Manga NP: The Theory of Slice of Life

[Satoshi Ookami]

It has blood and gore which means it's super mature and psychological.

You even try to think otherwise?!

 

[derozio]

Come on now, people. More blood, more sex, more tits = more mature. That's just plain goddamn obvious. We don't really need to talk about it. Really.

Terror in Tokyo and Barakamon are the most immature series out right now. While Tokyo Ghoul and Akame ga Kill are the most mature and psychologically deep anime. And those are facts.

but nothing's impossible!!

ROW ROW FIGHT THA POWAH!!

 

[Weeaboo Name]

That would imply that Terror in Tokyo is mature. Can't agree with that. First couple of eps were like a bad fanfiction.

 

[derozio]

I disagree largely. but too tired to have a debate so you win kk

started rewatching FMAB with a friend. FMAB = cool stuff. all this time i had been putting gintama and gits over fmab but now rewatching it its more like gintama = gits = fmab for me.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Wasn't going for a debate but I do wonder what you think it feels mature and I think it's something that a 15 year old girl would write. A SMILE LIKE THE SUN, EYES LIKE ICE. Well, maybe I'll give it another shot when it has finished airing.

FMA is always good.

Will probably pick up another complete show this afternoon as I'm not swamped with airing backlog.

 

[derozio]

if you'll check the ZnT thread you'll actually notice I mentioned how goddamn cringe-worthy those lines by the female lead were. or maybe i just mentioned how I found it annoying. but meh.

i can't pick up anything. have quizzes this week. ;____;

No, that's really something I can't agree with, I mean Elfen Lied did the same thing like 9 years ago with all the blood and tits, and it came off as mediocre and shallow, and not all that mature in general.

Spoiler:

I hope this image suffices to describe my thoughts on Elfen Lied. (score is out of 10 btw js)

 

[GigsPlace]

I have seen every single episode!

How is it following the Pirate life? :P

There needs to be more seinen adaptations.

Yeah that seems about right (God, there was almost nothing redeeming about that blood and boobs (gimmick-reliant) series whatsoever), which further illustrates my point about how blood and boobs doesn't always equal more mature and psychological, especially in the case of Elfen Lied.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

I don't hate Elfen Lied. Certainly better than a lot of stuff.

 

[Netto Azure]

Everytime Hinata from Haikyuu shouts "Mo Ippai!" I keep thinking he wants more pie.

 

[Candy]

Everytime Hinata from Haikyuu shouts "Mo Ippai!" I keep thinking he wants more pie.

I thought all the characters of Haikyuu!! has shouted "Mo Ippai!" at least once in the series so far. P:

Or was it "Mo ikai!"?

Or I just suck at listening to anime's Japanese dubbing?

 

[derozio]

I don't hate Elfen Lied. Certainly better than a lot of stuff.

Sasuga good-taste Laptrap senpai.

I personally dislike Elfen Lied the most out of all anime I've seen.

On a totally unrelated note, Aldnoah Zero ED2 SO GOOD.

As for the topic at hand - haven't seen Haikyuu so can't comment on that. I do plan to watch it sometime, though.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Only watched the first Haikyuu ep but it seems good. I prefer marathoning sports shows so I've been saving them up along with Baby Steps and Daiya no Ace.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

I don't hate Elfen Lied. Certainly better than a lot of stuff.

Also depends on whether you've read manga...
From what I read, it seems to be better than anime.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

It is slightly better and the ending is quite a lot better. Anime has that opening though.

 

[derozio]

I've heard that the manga is infinitely better. I'll give it a shot someday.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

anime 4/10, manga 5/10. Don't bother.
