Okay, I take back what I said earlier.



This meme needs to fucking die.

Give it a few weeks and it will be gone.

That or it will become the new pepe the frog where the creator will have to unceremoniously kill it, but then it will be adopted by some really racist group...

A few of those sound quite good, especially Qualia and GE.

That is the beautiful thing about JoJo. It's long running, but each Part is it's own self contained series with a different Protagonist each time. Look into it.

I watched the first part in anime form. It was okay, but I was told it gets much better later on and that part 1 is more or less a rough start.

Have you read Yotsuba&!?

I haven't, first I've heard of it.

Yeah, Part 1 is kind of hit or miss. JoJo was still fumbling around trying to figure what it wanted to do. Part 2 is a HUGE improvement and it starts to really sort itself out, starts finding itself. Then Part 3 is when JoJo really becomes JoJo and sets the standard for the new normal. Every Part just gets better and better. Although Part 7 is so good, I'm not sure 8 can top it.

Leana how do you feel about ecchi/fanservice?Because My Balls! is absolutely hysterical.
Yes, that is the actual title of it, and yes it's referring to what you think it is
---

Phoenix by Osamu Tezuka is another great manga.

Thirding Yotsuba&

Leanaunfurled posted...

I added some manga to my phone last night for in-bed reading. Was mostly focusing on slice of life and romance. What are your guys' opinions?:

Absolute Boyfriend
Dengeki Daisy
Fruits Basket (reread, didn't finish the first time)
Land of the Lustrous
Kaichou wa Maid-sama!
Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
Kimi no Iru Machi
Koe no Katachi (saw the movie, loved it)
Lovely Complex
Mitsuboshi Colors (I liked episode 1)
New Game!
Psyren
ReLIFE
Taiyou no Ie
The World God Only Knows
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou

Also open to action series, preferably completed. So many mangas are drawn out for years and years and years..

Do you want stuff without an anime adaptation or just anything? I know some on the list have one, just asking to narrow down my suggestions
---

is there really a random '&' at the end of it? o_O

I don't mind ecchi/fanservice but I really have to be in a specific mood, which is rare. I get bored by it fairly quickly if there's not much of anything else going for it other than fanservice.

And I don't mind if there's an anime adaptation or not.

This is the actual english translation of the summary for My Balls!:
"The fate of the world rests on one man's shoulders. Or, to put it more precisely, it rests in his right testicle.

Emmaniel, the Queen of Terror, is a demon on her way to destroy the world. Then, in an accident involving an angel, a Soul Jar and a stream of urine, she is sealed away inside the right testicle of perennial loser (and virgin) Satou Kouta. The angel informs him that if she remains sealed for the entire month, the world will avoid destruction. The only way for Kouta to keep her sealed is to not ejaculate for one month, or she'll escape. Thus Kouta must resist temptation for a full month, lest the world be destroyed.
"

Yeah. The title can be read as "Yotsuba and!", which is like how the chapters are titled "Yotsuba & x".

I've got a ton of slice of life recommendations, which I'll try to narrow down to 5:

Aria
Non Non Biyori
Barakamon
Amanchu!
Hidamari Sketch

As for action, I highly recommend Vagabond. The art is some of the best I've ever seen
---

I'll look into, thanks. :D But hey, I just started watching Barakamon! Went into it after I finished Handa-kun, which is a hilarious satire anime imo.
---

Yuyushiki, Flying Witch, and Non Non Biyori

Ok, it's cemented now. I know we're only at episode 2, but Sora Yori is my favorite of the season.


---

I've said it before: it saddens me that this tongue meme might be the only lasting legacy that Flip Flappers will leave behind.
---

It's everywhere though, i've seen so much stuff with that tongue meme its insane, it's not even prominent, but its always there.

I doubt they're just pimping out a film from last year.

I liked this show, especially Rory, but sometimes I couldn't tell if it was SDF propaganda or a parody of such.

iirc the author of the LN was ex military? so it could be i guess, was pretty cool though.

What I'm watching this season:

Farther Than the Universe
Yuru Camp
Grancrest Senki
Toji no Miko
Citrus
Slow Start
Mitsuboshi Colors
Kokkoku
Karakai Jouzo no Takagi-san
Ryuuou no Oshigoto!

DamexPrince Anime Caravan
Death March
Marchen Madchen
Koi wa Ameagari no You ni
Miira no Kaikata

---

An update on Citrus, i ended up binging up to the current translated chapters of the manga... so yeah imma give this another chance...

Just started:
Katana Maidens - Toji No Miko
Kaiju Girls (season 2)
Mitsuboshi Colors
Pop Team Epic

Waiting for premiere:
Beatless
Darling in the Franxx

Waiting for English dub:
Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card

Carrying over from past seasons:
Black Clover
Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS

It's already a lighter season than the last one even if I don't drop any, but Katana Maidens got off to a mediocre start and (based on the PV) there's a decent chance that Beatless might turn out to be too gory for me to handle, so it could shrink even more.

I read that he was super far-right and pro-military. Not gonna lie, half the reason I watched it was to watch a modern military destroy a medieval-era fantasy army >_>

That's the whole draw to it though, "What if modern military is placed in a fantasy medieval world", the answer being one sided carnage, then ramp it add by adding magic and lolis.

Plus there's the whole political thing in between that was a bit eh but i still enjoyed it.

@Calwings Did you forget about me warning you about Beatless?Last I checked, you weren't a fan of people being decapitated...

Oh, you're the user I was warned about in the last topic about amputations and such! How do you feel about non-humans, like in Land of the Lustrous where they're humanoid beings but made from various gems and don't feel pain or die?

I'm like 99% positive I saw one in a PV somewhere. Does the arm not bother you though?

I've seen gifs from it, and I was okay with those. I've also been fine seeing non-human villains from shows like Inuyasha and One Punch Man get pieces chopped off, and robot/cyborg limbs don't bother me if they show enough robotic bits to clearly show it isn't human. My main problem comes from actually seeing a human body part detached from its body. If it happens off-screen (like the infamous "Mami scene" in Madoka Magica) then I'm fine no matter how much blood they show coming from it.

The scene in the PV I saw for Beatless was really quick and the detached arm was only shown for like a second, so I couldn't tell if it was robotic or human, and it did unnerve me. I'm hoping that Beatless has very few scenes like that OR stuff like that only happens with robotic characters, because it was my most anticipated show of the season before I saw that PV. If you can find that other PV that has what you're talking about and post it here, then that will definitely prove that I (unfortunately) can't handle the show.

I looked at it in detail, and yes, it was human. You could see the bone and blood dripping from it. And unfortunately Cal, one of the major points of the show is to blur the line between androids that are so advanced they're indistinguishable from humans, so you're not going to be spared there. That and given the premise and those scenes?I'll be honestly surprised if there isn't a lot more like that - or worse.

Awesome, thanks for explaining. Lucky all I posted was Lustrous at first before I was told in advance, though tbh I'm not one for posting much actual gore in general. Last time I did was when I was playing Dishonored lol.

I've always had Windows Starter edition so i can't even change my desktop background without using an external program (Almost all of which don't work anymore).

What is this wallpaper engine, and why are Abigail and Lavania not in my life?
---

I'm bad at following things weekly. I like binging better. I've got a show from last season that I watched one episode of it and it slipped my mind and I haven't watched since. I forgot its title too.

I know I want to follow Junji Ito and Overlord this season, but I haven't watched either yet. Maybe that show with the time stop you guys said was good. I'm relying on you guys for anything else.

It's a cheap software on steam that lets you change your wallpaper to all sorts of stuff that range from wallpapers with musical themes, equalizers and even animated wallpapers and stuff.
Doesn't really hit performance either, also worth to note the workshop is not censored
