General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread

[gamemaster1991]

Someone on twitch shared a video with his audience. It's from a show called Nichijou (I think). It reminds me of Lucky Star without the Otaku stuff. Any thoughts on it?

[Mass Distraction]

It's a good show. One of the shows that were so good I was sad when it ended.

Almost done with Pokemon Origins. Oh boy did I ever like it!

Hot damn, I just finished watching Attack on Titan and I think it's still absolutely amazing. Dat cliffhanger tho.
Does anyone know if there is going to be a second season and if so will it still follow the manga?

There will more likely be a second season considering how big the series is now due to the anime adaptation. As for when and if it will follow the manga, depends? From what I hear, the anime had odd pacing (such as the "Female Titan" arc which lasted 7 or so episodes in the anime while the manga was just a 2 or 3 chapters) and it's about to catch up to the manga series, so it's hard to say how another season will be.

You would assume that they would have learned to better pace their shows when DBZ was a pacing mess. Just because a Saiyan powers up for 3 chapters does not mean they need to do it for 6 episodes. Still, DBZ was one of the best animes from my childhood so I don't see why Titan would be bad for doing the same thing.

I think I will try Attack on Titan since the manga ended with 20 books. I love it when an author has their idea all planned out and knows how to end it. I hate when they try to stretch mangas due to popularity and end up with a ridiculous number.

I guess Berserk has that problem. Someone said it's been going on for like 20 years and the dude has no idea how to call it quits.

The problem with the Berserk manga is that the mangaka has an addiction to Idolmaster. No, I'm being dead serious and it's often joked about with Berserk fans.

I wouldn't know about that; I've only just heard some fans vent. I don't really want to try it because it sounds like too brutal of a series.

How is that a problem with the manga itself?

That's actually kinda sad. The anime has one of those "read the manga" endings, and since it is still going that means you are going to have trouble keeping up. I have yet to see the anime but i hear that it ends just as it gets good.

Spoiler

No really this is the end of the anime.

Last chance.

Griffith is reborn as a demon (maybe, not sure about this fact) and sacrifices all the Hawks (except Guts and Casca) to other demons. Griffith then gets his revenge on Guts by raping Casca in front of him, at the same time Guts cuts off his own arm and has his eye gouged out, in order to stop him. At the end, a healed Guts sets off to kill Griffith.

I have heard that it acts as a trailer for the manga. Want to see what happened to Guts, Casca, and Griffith? Pick up the manga and see. I have seen few animes that do this and they all make me mad. Why do I need to pick up the manga when I know that you can do it much better (or worse in some cases)?

Propably exactly because of that. I know a lot of anime that have strayed from the original manga and it often ends up being not as good.

Except for Deathnote I've never seen an anime even come close to being as good as the manga. It's only if the anime an original idea, where the manga comes after, that the anime is better.

because he updates very slowly. There's a reason many Berserk fans say that they have been "stuck on the boat for 10 years" or something like that.

Origins is pretty damn good for a Pokemon show.
