J-E Discussion

[A Pixy]

This watching shows as they air thing is strenuous. I can't watch things on my own schedule anymore. Then again, I'm only watching 2 airing shows.

In related news Gintama' is awesome sauce. All of you should watch it. Ludicrous, self-aware, genius and epic lulz all around. And that's just the two episodes I saw.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Cant really disagree with that, after 45 episodes watched it's still getting better and better. Shinpachi grates on me a little but i love everyone else.

 

[J]

i've only watched the few episodes of twgok with shiori, because shiori is shiori and kanatan is also shiori and shiori is cute so it's cool.
the overall quality of the anime wasn't really too awesome?

also, the manga: this arc's conclusion will probably also mark the beginning of the end of the series, since there's not much to go on with after you collect em all

Spoiler:

shiori's super-popularity practically guarantees that she'll be a goddess vessel ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

 

[Weeaboo Name]

It's a very popular series, I'd be very surprised if it was finished before 200 - 250 chapters.

Also, is anyone sad that Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream isn't or doesn't seem to be being subbed?....no, just me...:( :L

 

[J]

better to finish it quick rather than drag on forever with brainless filler arcs

 

[Weeaboo Name]

If it's selling magazines I'm sure they'll keep it going somehow, for better or for worse. Money rules in every field after all.

 

[digi-kun]

mmm, I think it'd be more accurate to keep it as him going back to his work. Can't really think of much else that you can do with that plot. It's not like he made it as a "Let's do whatever we want action/adventure manga". I'd like him to finish this series rather than leave it running forever. Kinda like how Psyren and Mirai Nikki ended

 

[RYOUKI]

Regarding about the creator of TWOGK, Wakaki Tamiki, he seems to be a complete hikikomori. The life of a mangaka truly IS a gamble. It can truly ruined lives. Read on about him here.

Due to his history, I really doubt that TWOGK will end anytime soon, and I sincerely hope not.

On another note: Medaka Box. I have an unimaginable hate for this series. I don't care if the writer is Nisio Isin. I mean, it's becoming the next BLEACH! new group -> Fight -> Win -> Repeat. I MEAN COME ON!

And guess the name of the new group:

Spoiler:

The Not Equals

First we have the Abnormals, The plus, the Minus, and then this!?

What's next? The Tangents? The Square Roots? The Hypotenuses? The Imaginary Numbers? The Infinity?

COME ON! *ragerageragerage*

 

[digi-kun]

Imaginaries sound about right

I wouldn't mind if they did a continuation under a side-story type thing after the whole goddess stuff finishes, but I'm just not seeing a continuation if all the Weis get sealed again, less the story repeats from the beginning, which generally isn't good. I'm not saying the end is coming soon; I can see at least a good...50-100ish chapters or so to get to the climax of the current arc, not counting detours, but I really don't think that it'd be a good idea to just go back to normal after this storyline ends, unless there's a good plot point to get it back (as much as I enjoy the series).

 

[Weeaboo Name]

After this Angels and new Hell v Old Hell story is over i'm sure there could be more more places to go, Ok i can't think of any amazing plot plans off the top of my head now but i'm not a writer. I'd probably say TWOGK is one of my favourite ongoing manga so i'd like to think it'll be going for a while longer yet.

In other news, this might take a while.

 

[A Pixy]

Something's becoming the new Bleach? No. Just... no.

Also, what happened to the old Bleach? Did it die?

Also, if the discussion even remotely revolves around shonen, One Piece is the best thing to come out of the shonen genre.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

My ramble about the Jump unholy trinity.

Spoiler:

I'm still not far enough into OP to really comment but I am enjoying it. One Piece's art is the best of the three although i don't like the character designs too much. If all of the OP characters back stories are as good as Nami's (that's the last arc i finished) i think it may well become my favourite.

Bleach was undoubtedly a cool guy up until the first filler arc. The first 3 seasons (the beginning, the entry and the rescue?) were awesome. Even after that some of Aizen's trolling was magnificent, but then Kubo got bored. Aizen's elaborate evil plan became retarded "i have known about you since the day you were born and controlled everything in your life so that one day i could have an equal". And then the final fight was anticlimactic to say the least.

I enjoy Naruto's retardation. I mean it's been a giant game of chase the emo kid for like 10 years now and it's not showing any signs of stopping. The most recent evil plan involves...

Spoiler:

Collecting all of the tailed beasts (energy) in order to use a technique that will project a sharingan (eye thing) on to the moon to cast an illusion over every single person on earth. Magnificent.

Yup, seriously.
Also, said emo kid wants to irrationally kill everyone in his home village because a few people ordered his brother to kill off his clan. Doh.
I do sound like i'm taking thr **** but it is fun.

Gintama - 50. My head is spinning.

Shounen isn't a genre, just saiyan

 

[J]

bleach was probably good up until eyebrows-kun showed up with prissyboy-sama and stole away heroine-chan #1.
and i enjoyed naruto up to the part where gramps-san got done in.

i think luffy is a pretty cool guy. eh punches tenryuubito and doesn't afraid of anything

 

[digi-kun]

Shounen is defined by "Teamwork, Adversity, Victory" by jump if I recall correctly

 

[Weeaboo Name]

I think i remember Fukuda saying something like that in Bakuman.

Just watched the first episodes of C and Denpa and enjoyed them. C was strange to say the least and Denpa had Arakawa vibes, the seasons good start continues.

Anyone know which conditioner she uses? I can never get that shine.

Spoiler:

 

[RYOUKI]

Denpa was good SHAFT wise. I miss those black/red stills though. It kinda sets up the mood for lots of talking.

OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP.
Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. It seems that Hanasaku Iroha has got some SERIOUS competition this season. I don't know which one to love!

 

[Weeaboo Name]

I have that downloaded and ready to go, you should love them both.

Thank God, Dororon Enma-kun Meramera has almost downloaded after hours (yes hours) of waiting. Also have Shakugan no Shana (gunplay edition) and A-Channel still to watch.

Also CCS in Blu Ray is....

Spoiler:

 

[RYOUKI]

What's the difference in the CCS bluray to normal CCS (tv)? Madhouse already did a splendid job.

[C] is Steins;Gate v2. I have no idea what happened.

Ugh, still have Sket Dance ep 2, A-channel, Nichijou ep2 and Steins;Gate ep 2 to go.

I really don't want to watch Steins;Gate now. But I'm afraid if I don't, I might end up dropping it, and I don't want to drop any anime this season.

Watched Sket Dance ep 2. GAHAHAHAHA. Funny as heck and high level of energy! The teacher really did throw like a girl! (It was never shown in the manga. orz)

Shounen is a demographic; so people just think stuff like DBZ, Naruto, Bleach, etc. (never ending shows where friendship gives you power) is what all shounen is like
