Mal Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 So I am more or less caught up with Rozen Maiden. Maybe I am predisposition to like this series due to the first few seasons* but yeah. I love it~ Mysteries everywhere... and I think I have a feeling where this is all going. *They more or less are not canon since the anime now follows the manga.

Mister Jack Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I really hope Miura finishes Berserk before he dies of a stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I can tell you right now, he won't. And the difference between manga and say a western comic/counterpart is that artists switching in between is near impossible. A manga belongs to the original creator and that's that. I mean books tend to be the same but there have been occasions where authors come in to finish the story. I would hope that considering his age and his pace at working these stories, that he would have a protege/student that he has been training to take over. I mean it wouldn't be extremely hard. Give him the basic storyline you want to follow, come up with the story arcs and events of each, and teach him to draw in your style. Listen to his ideas about how to continue the story and guide him. I understand the japanese overreact to big news concerning popular artists but if done correctly this could work. Him and GRRM owe it to fans to finish the stories, it'd be selfish to get people invested and because of how easygoing your pace is to never finish the story. If you would rather the manga end where you die, then do like GRRM and give the movie makers a good idea of the plot points and how the events will occur so at least the movies can finish the story.

Mister Jack Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 All I know is that I won't be able to accept a world where Griffith wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 The story is dark but I don't think it'll end wih Griffith winning. It'll probably end with Guts beating Griffith and the both of them having some really homoerotic last talk together. Then Guts or Casca dies, and the other person lives on. Bittersweet ending is the most i can see for this, with maybe a flash forward of little witch girl all grown up and doing something ala Guts or remembering her father figure/first love.

Mal Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Wait are you gonna read both Berserk and Vagabond? I have both tabs opened. It is intimidating me and during that intimidation time I discovered another manga. I'll check it out soon before I recommend it. Also the rumors of leaks on the new SnK chapter are cray cray. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS REAL. 2ch is an odd place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Eh. The manga is suffering from Naruto syndrome. The slowness of the pace is painful. This last episode of the anime was one of the best I've seen period, but I try to remember how many chapter that took. And it was like 2 or 3.

Mal Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Its just fun to swim in these rumors. Sure a lot of them are pretty out there but consider that we wouldn't expect before he actually appeared.. I welcome these batshit insane rumors.

Mal Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) After reading the latest chapter (SnK)... I'm calling it. This nigga be up to something. Edited August 7, 2013 by MaliciousH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 he was pretty ominous in one of the recent episodes. But yeah. Also started reading Vagabond. Nigga I had no idea it was about musashi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Now the mangaka is just fucking with us in the slice of life offshoot. Next up we'll get a... ... Deer Titan and a Dolphin Titan. Also there is the abs again! Edit: FOUND IT. (For you Wally) Ripped ballerina Mikasa Edited August 8, 2013 by MaliciousH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Jesus that is still disturbing, but I have a crush on anime Mikasa. I'll ignore manly manga Mikasa. Also I hope that first image isn't serious. I don't want a manga where everybody is... you know. Been watching and reading the World God Only Knows.Watched the first two seasons and am now currently reading the manga since the third season apparently goes to an arc that's like 100 chapters away. If you like that anime about the loser girl trying to make friends you should like this manga. I don't know if I mentioned it in the anime page but it's a loner geek who is the God of dating sims saving girls from spirits by getting them to fall in love with him and solving their issues. The catch is once they fall in love with him and he saves them, they forget about him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 It does seem to get brought up a lot in Watamote discussions, although the protagonist of that series sounds like a complete fucking asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 He's not the same level of pathetic as what's her face in your avatar. He's a more confident pathetic. Everybody in the school basically calls him "Dweeb" and he DOES act like an asshole since everybody is an asshole at him. But he's actually a misunderstood guy. His issue is that he genuinely enjoys playing video games more than the idea of interacting with real people, but society deems him as weird so when people bring it up he gets annoyed that they're judging his happiness by their standards. He's pretty funny when he's trying to conquer ladies though, though you have to suspend your disbelief that dating sims and "Real life" women follow the same pattern. Give it a try if you ever feel like it. He's not a bad guy and the upside is that, unlike what's her face, he doesn't care about making new friends but once the girls forget about him you see a hint of pain in his face.

Mister Jack Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well, I'm bored as hell so I'm gonna go ahead and take the plunge and start reading Attack on Titan. We'll see if it grabs me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 SnK So it was kinda weird how Reiner just up and confessed such a huge secret when, as far as he knew, nobody even suspected him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 He was doing so to Eren in hopes he would come quietly without making a scene and maybe even listen to him since they are supposedly friends. His mistake was that Eren hates Titans more than he likes his friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Well clearly he didn't think that one through very well. On another note, I think my favorite character is Sasha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 welcome to the potato girl fan club. While in the fan club you are required to follow the following creeds: 1. You shall always love potato girl and her potato loving ways 2. If potato girl were to be killed you shall demand she is returned as a titan or potato goddess. 3. If number 2 is not happening, threaten to drop manga. 4. If 3 doesn't change anything, eat potato while crying. I don't know if I have a favorite character in SNK. I mean I like Eren even if he gets his ass kicked by everybody [to be fair Naruto got his ass kicked quite often early on]. Mikasa has too much of a following to the point I'm creeped out. There's no comedic character outside of Sasha, and comedic characters tend to be my favorite so maybe my potato girl love WILL end up being love for my favorite.

Mister Jack Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Oh god, if Sasha dies that would make me so upset, especially considering the horrible, undignified ways people die in this manga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 She would probably get eaten by a potato titan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Mai potatoes everywhere. Sasha is best character. She is also pretty badass when... She fought a titan with a fucking bow and lived. Sure she didn't down the titan but you don't go up against one and live usually. I was actually scared for her in that scene since Sniffer bit the dust not too long ago or long after this. Sniffer was considered the second best and it showed with him taking out five titans at once... but then Monkey Trouble showed up. So yeah, if Sasha dies it is grounds for dropping. Stop breaking my hope dammit since some characters I liked ate dirt... Levi is one bomb waiting to blow up. Though I suppose I have a backup if Sasha dies. This girl is also pretty badass as well. Rico. She doesn't really trust Eren so we'll see how that pans out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I understand the manga and anime want to emphasize how many cool side characters they are, but I feel they're doing it at the cost of making the main characters grow. Like I said Eren has been getting his ass kicked. The only time he put up a fight recently was with the aid of mikasa, even if supposedly he's supposed to be great at sparring. To be fair armored titan has fucking cheating armor all over his body and colossus titan can give away skin burning steam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
