Incidentally, I'm currently listening to Digibro's Analytical Diatribe of SAO. He takes it apart pretty nicely. |

b-bu-but that's a spoiler. Big one at that. :(

Though, a tip for the future, if you see something that you think might be a spoiler, don't try to affirm it with someone who knows. More likely than not, you'll be more spoiled than if you hadn't asked at all, since even if they don't try to spoil something, they generally will. It's better to quickly be falsely proven wrong by a red herring than to ruin the surprise in its entirety. |
Which means that Dero now knows all about Yuki-Onna Nadeko and how she turns Araragi into an ice statue with her newly found ice magic.
She also eats Kaiki and totally has a threesome with Tsukihi and Karen, on the behest of Suruga. |
Shhhhhhh don't tell him about the best parts! It'll ruin the surprise!

...and this isn't really something they announce for some reason or another (but it's not a spoiler, just kind of gives some insight), but when they say that Super takes place after the battle with Buu, they mean right after. So it takes place before, during, and after Battle of Gods and retells its events (Dunno if it retcons, though; they might both be canon). That's the current arc, at least, but the new ending seems to hint at original content...or a Resurrection of F arc (can't speak on that since I haven't seen the movie yet). So put bluntly, what Super is is still up in the air. Though it is like Dragon Ball in some ways. It's as humorous as Dragon Ball was ("Goku, with that money we could buy so much porn!" - Master Roshi 2015), for instance, but if I had to say, I think it's more that it's no less like one or the other and it's more that it builds on both of the two as you might expect from the guy that crafted both of them. It's a sequel in every sense, and I'd say I like it more for it. --- In other news, I found out that my local Books-A-Million's pretty loaded with good stuff. It has official English publications for the LNs of The Devil is a Part Timer, Danmachi, DRRR! (dunno about Baccano, though, need to check), and of course, SAO (since that's what really revealed that there was an LN market in the West), most of which I didn't even know had made it over here.. It had hardcover Jojo, Dragon Ball in color, and AoT up the wazoo. Their selection's pretty bomb in general, though- better than my Borders, I'd say. Also, before leaving for a class I had, I accidentally read all of the first volume of a random manga that I picked up, Magical Girl Apocalypse. That was...an experience. Zombies, a bunch of people saying "MAGICARUUUUUU", and so much blood and gore that you'd think the artist just dropped their ink on the pages and ran with it. Was it good? Not...really. It was very clearly shock for the sake of shock and seemed as if it was trying to capitalize on Attack on Titan's Gore. The difference being, in Attack on Titan the gore was more or less warranted, the titans being mostly instinctual beings that killed in ways that were less methodical and more just to get the job done. In this though...just why? There's one page where it's 3 panels of zombies dragging a girl by the legs and then running in opposite directions, splitting her in half. On another page, a zombie...somehow...smashes a guy's head into his body...or maybe he makes it explode? It's not really clear. And I'm not saying it's bad. I mean, hey, if you want to make manga where gratuitous gore is your hook, more power to you, that's the direction you picked and I have nothing against that. I just worry that what the direction is might harm this particular manga more than it would do it good because of the intention to shock. |

All of those novels have been out for at least a couple months now, man. Danmachi actually hit at least as far back as December before the anime even started in Japan. No Baccano yet that I've seen, but if the DRRR! stuff does well, I think it'll be brought over. Good you've found a bookstore with an actual selection, though. B&N is another place you can find a wide selection, too (and for me the only chain place in my area that I can reliably find new volumes), but many times it's only like the first 2 and then the last 3 in stores because they don't have room to stock every single volume of all the series on their shelves.

I'm waiting for the dubs too. Will try it out then. Nice to hear it is not bad like I thought it originally would turn out to be.
And totally jelly about you people having access to bookstores that keep lightnovels and manga. I want one near my place too. ;_____; |
I tend to not go to mine, on principle.
I don't like to be broke, see. |

But Comiket wouldn't be your only reason for going, I'm sure.
According to your current avatar and signature, at least. |
I hate Japan, though. I only enjoy its culture ironically.
I guess I should play that game. |

Trigger has something new. AOTS kitaaaaaaaaaa http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-10-08/studio-trigger-reveals-new-kiznaiver-original-tv-anime/.93915 |
There probably is one.
At least if Koyomi is added to the equation. |
I really should try checking out monogatari doujins now. Now that I'm very much into the series, I'm sure I'll enjoy them.
But then again, I think I'll hold off till I've caught up. Might spoil stuff. :p I'm watching Second Season now. Might finish it tomorrow. |

It's rare that I actually see a Monogatari doujin that actually feels Monogatari. Shaft is pretty hard to replicate. |
