No. 6 gets paired with any girl, and I wasn't crazy or looking into things. Alcoholics apparently does things to you.

A rather strange Ichijou based episode, which is to say, normal for her.



Forbidden fruits and whatnot. Ichijou has the deepest lore

Without Ichijou , Pani poni dash wouldn't be even half as fun

I hope Euphemia realizes that if she wants to love Suzaku and have him love her for the foreseeable future, she can't continue to keep the fact that Lelouch is Zero a secret. Even if she doesn't know that he and Suzaku are very good friends, if he ever found out that she knew this whole time...yeah.

Also Shirley relearns that Lelouch is Zero. Way to sweep her room, Lelouch and C.C. Just leave that crumpled piece of paper that says "Lelouch is Zero" right there. But I don't know what the hell she's going to do with that information.

Also what happened to what's-her-name that Ohgi was taking care of? The one with amnesia?

I never understand these anime original endings. Just adapt the source material as long as you have episodes and end it there. I take Berserk like ending billion times over Claymore like ending. Fuck this.

Akira in crazy mode is BEST akira , man when she will break it's gonna be glorious..i mean ulith brought her back from hell , just to use her and toss her away , i can't wait to see when that happens.

Pfiou those reveals about the fate of the LRIG that became eternal girls, that amount of despair is sublime.. No way they will be able to do anything about it , unless our heroine goes toward a madoka route and she probably won't ..

Oh the despair , the despair is too much , i ...WANT MORE

I see why they do it, but it's not always necessary.
Lubbock's death felt less shitty in the anime at least. Syura's death felt better in the manga, but you're able to dislike him more due to development.

Can she do that?

Well, Black Knights had a good run. It's really your fault, Lelouch. Maybe if you hadn't been jawing it up about the old, simpler days and told her "No, we can't go back; I'm a terrorist, I killed your brother, and I hate your family's guts", she wouldn't have done this.

I don't know who is the most evil ? "mother" who actively punishes Iona & Tama at every opportunity she gets ..or ulith who started her life as dexter and got unleashed later ?I mean come on ! Everything she does is to see beautifull things broken , she doesn't care, she just want to trample on her opponents , she is ... excellent as the vilain .. Man , all that build up payed off BIG TIME.

Don't get me started on akira meltdown , what irony when she herself spouts : " Once a nobody , always a nobody" ... Man the irony there , especially when you went into hell and became a nobody because of your own foolishness

WIXOSS , Spread edition is awesome ..i can't wait to see more despair , suffering , tragedy and cries next week , it's gonna be so entertaining.

I like how animes have a beginning and an ending. This trend of just cutting stuff and ending nowhere due to the lack of source material basically destroys one of the few general strengths that anime have compared to other media.

I'll always take a filler ending over no ending if there aren't any plans for a continuation. Even if there are plans, they could just ignore the filler ending anyway.

Well some rare times anime original endings somewhat work but most of the time they just leave very sour taste to your mouth as usually even without reading manga you can just sense that there is something wrong with the direction that the ending episodes took (happened with claymore when I watched it). Not to mention that with Akame there would have been perfect spot to end the anime after this arc. They might have needed to rush little bit but that's still better than this anime original shit. I really don't know why they are going with anime original ending with this.

There really wasn't though. It's not like the current premise would end in any conclusive way. There's some character development and battles that could be finished, but the story wouldn't really have gone nowhere conclusive if they had just continued adapting manga chapters.

Finish the fight with esdeath and end there?
Not perfect ending by by means but to exactly complete cutt off ending either. Maybe mix something from chapter 44 to make it more complete ending.

There is nothing wrong with a story stopping and you tell the viewer to continue with the manga ... isn't that the point of most anime ? to elevate the manga/original work popularity ?

i mean , with AGK , you finish the fights of this arc , make the character move on and then you end on the premise that "now the revolution can start" and you set things up for a second season maybe. i will argue that not having a conclusion but a good pacing is better than having a rushed mess.
Not every anime can be FMA and have a "brotherhood" version but if you have a shonen -like franchise, stopping it at the right place like hunter x hunter ( first series ) can open possibilities for more things.
Anime original ending waste characters , fight and possibilities if they aren't planned properly ( MAGI is yet another exemple of an anime that at least did good despite the rearranging )

There'd be some character development, but it's not like the plot would be conclusive at all. It'd be obvious that the show had just stopped due to a lack of episodes, not really ended.

That trend only gained strength in the last few years, and I hate it. So, I'm happy to see a show not following it, even if the ending itself ends up mediocre.

If the show is popular enough and there's material, it can get a second season following the source, doesn't matter if the original had strayed from the source. Aside from full reboots like Brotherhood or Yozakura Quartet, there are also examples of animes just continuing to later manga material and ignoring the filler from the original anime, like To Love Ru. In the case of AgK, it's not doing well enough to get anything else, filler ending or not. The filler ending isn't robbing people from a second season, it's there because there's no way this show is getting a second season.

Well of course it can really not end because there is still on going manga. There are still billion examples of perfectly working endings despite story still continuing in manga. There is difference between complete cut off ending and ending the anime in good spot. Ending the show in good spot gives you chance to continue it much easier if there is possibility of second season in future. It also doesn't leave sour taste to mouths of fans of the show. Your really are in minority in hoping for anime original endings for the shows (of course you are still entitled to your opinion). I guess we have to agree to disagree.

The best anime only ending was the Medaka Box one where Ajimu just tells you to read the manga to find out what happens.

Am I really in the minority though? In the west, it seems like the fanbase following anime is much larger than the one following manga.

Even in Japan itself, in a case like this, it seems like most of the manga fanbase didn't end up caring about the anime, considering its low popularity.

Generally speaking, I think that if you're not going to continue adapting any given manga into anime, there are two basic options.

a) You find a good stopping point well in advance.

b) You introduce enough anime original material to take the story in a different direction and do it well.

In my experience, it's mostly when the changes come too suddenly and right at the end of a series that things often feel off or unsatisfactory.

Oh. Sure it's still great fun even if you rewatch it (I have watched both seasons three times =P) but you just can't beat the first time and not knowing what happens next. Sometimes you just sat there after the episode and were ''wtf I just witnessed''.

I would go with option A pretty much always but option B could somewhat also work like you said if they prepare the show for it a long time in advance and not come up with shit suddenly 4 episodes before the ending like here. Still if there is any chance for good stopping point use that (and here imo was).

Skin tight suits and gym clothes are the best things to protect against a virus. That is a rule to live by apparently.

And the Plain Girl gained a new hair style. It's like she changes things up to escape her destiny as the designated plain girl of the group, even if Behoimi just joined the ranks as a demolition specialist

What's the best example of adaptation taking liberties over source material anyway, K-ON?

Some from this thread think its a good option, like when we discussing that upcoming Rie Matsumoto show but I can't came up with many good example.

Pretty much every KyoAni adaptation.
Parasyte is doing some good things, like modernizing it with tablets and laptops from the 90s setting.
