Considering most of you are only familiar with the DiC dub, it's no surprise you don't hold it in high regard.
I'm a pretty major weeaboo tbh, I tend to be familiar with both. Though my knowledge on Sailor Moon isn't as strong as my knowledge of the obscurity of Dragonball; I could go on and on about the differences between the dub and original when it comes to DBZ.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Nevar. Survivor, you know I trust you on a lot of manga... but there's just some shit nobody can sell to me.



Hmm, let me think, what would I rather have: People gushing over one of the most popular and best shonen or talking about incest in manga-form? I really don't know...

I never understood the love for manga-smut when porn is so easily accessible. Particularly not the weird brand of smut that people in this thread seem so fond of.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Smut is better when there's context behind it.

And no, a visiting plumber is not "context".

Since we're still in the intro phases, I wonder how many of these underground people will become allies. Seems like Chiwa will bring a few over to their side.

The context behind the manga smut that's popular in this thread is laughably flimsy.

Then again, I read My Balls and thought it was generally hilarious.

For some reason, this thread reminded me of when my friend's wife complained about the end of Harry Potter because Ron and Hermione did not have explicitly described sex.

Overpraising good comics > Overpraising bad comics.

I come to this thread to read impressions and make / take recommendations. Lots of laughs etc etc. Whether I read them or not isn't an issue, it's all in good fun. I hate when this thread comes around every Wednesday and it becomes Big 3 trolling, but that's what happens and I don't make any comments. I have more fun reading survivor/gunbo/IJ or whoever talk about aunt-tits, than I do reading EVERY other single post about OP IS THE GREATEST MANGA ever.

Also it's not a testament to the quality of OP, I'm saying it gets tiring and is part of the norm and I like to read something out of the blue.

Edit: Also when the discussion goes around, they admit that it's "bad manga" they aren't going around saying it's the best manga ever. If you actually read the posts from the last few pages they have "bad taste".

Am I the only one here who reads more than the latest page :(

Better than me, I just pop up and feel random when I actually do post in here because I'm never on the subject of the moment or it's something I'm not into myself (re: the "my manga is better than yours" moments in here).
 
Honestly, I barely even read OP posts anymore. It's one of my favorite series of all time, but Solune is right that it gets tiring. That's why I post about obscure stuff that I just found.

See? Even you admit it.

Also people want to see their favorite characters fuck, why else would the fanfic scene be filled to the brim with erotica?
Ofcourse it is. "cleaning the pipes", fixing a leak etc. lol

I should mention that AnimeGAF had a "Let's Watch: Sailor Moon" over the summer of 2011.

Despite its flaws and episodic nature, it's a very enjoyable show with a lot of nuance, humor, drama, and delicious character interaction. Not to mention it singlehandedly revived the magical girl genre, and along with DBZ is one of the main reasons anime even exists in the West.

Considering most of you are only familiar with the DiC dub, it's no surprise you don't hold it in high regard.

Pretty much, judging Sailormoon on the DiC dub is the equivalent as judging One Piece solely on the 4kids dub.

wait I misread NO NOT THAT DAMMIT

ARGH

edit: and for the record i meant i try and read every post unless it's about manga i never read

I read every post in this thread. Unless it's one of those 3 pages Big 3 Duels that seem to happen every other night then I just skim through the posts.

See? Even you admit it.

I only go original content


Your just not being sold to right.
Us Aunt Tits fan gotta work together to make an awesome pitch to get Glass Rebel to read the manga

Yeah, I mean, incest? Really? If you're not directly involved... how could you even get a kick out of that? I mean, having the hots for your sister or mom is pretty sick but finding something appealing into seeing related people getting it on is just... I dunno, it's just unexplainable.

I don't mind if people post about it, I'm not a mod and I don't get to say what's discussed in this thread. Doesn't mean I'd rather not have trash invading this thread. But what can you do.

Edit: I really hope you guys are reading it just for the lulz. You don't even have to answer, let's just pretend that's the reason.

One of the biggest things I disagree with when it comes to OP gushing is almost always humor. Not that I can argue it, because humor is probably the most subjective thing you can judge in a manga.

Still, though, people find so much shit funny in OP that isn't funny (to me).

But I read that because it was hilarious, not because I cared at all for the smut involved.

You're fishing pretty hard for a tag-quote, son.

I try to read all, I mean if I didnt do that then I would miss hearing of some nice series like Buster Keel or Psyren or Flame of Recca, occasionally wiki series and give them a chance when people bring them up and try to glance at them unless they look really slice of lifey, dont like that genre at all.

Who needs an aunt amirite?
What you got against Fruits Basket? :<
It fucking sucks.
Yeah, legit incest too. Not that "we're not really related" bullshit.

And to top it all off, it's from the Karin mangaka!
And Hekikai no AiON. It is also hilarious and better then aunt tits.
Sailor Moon was pretty bad. But what do I expect from a thread filled to the brim with people reading "Aunt tits" or "Incest something something yaddayadda" >_>

Angry Grimace validates his inquisition with his own answer.

And I'm in the exact opposite position. I know it's a little hypocritical for me to say, but constantly hearing people hype praise onto trainwrecks gets boring, fast. I'd much rather read people gushing about something that's good, or at least something where the description doesn't make me feel uncomfortable. Or in other words:

Overpraising good comics > overpraising bad comics.

Indeed, the amount of doujins that appear is pretty crazy.

.43%, deal with it

Well to me cartoons and shit like that are still fucking funny, except for garbage like Johnny Test. I guess that's why I enjoy One Piece's humor. It's like a cartoon, and that's all it needs to be.

Fruits Basket was good until the artist injured her hand.

Funny really, because that is the exact reason D Gray Man also went down the shitter.

wholesome and totally not-smut like Ubel Blatt (artistic shota sex is art&#8482;)
Murakami proves this.

You should read Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, there's a cross over between Fairy Tail and Yankee-kun called Fairy Megane featuring characters from both stories.

Edit: It's a one shot in Volume 11.

I think cartoons are funny as shit too. Well, at least if I go back and watch cartoons I used to watch back in the day I still would think they're funny...nothing today I find funny. What the fuck is Johnny Test?

I also think One Piece can be funny at times. It's just I see posts saying so many things in certain chapters are "so hilarious omg" and really, it's not that funny.

I don't think people are actually praising other manga though, is my point, just discussion. But that's ok, I won't delve into it further since you're a TWGOK nakama.
I'm saying you need to post more!
and come to IRC
Are... are you coming onto me?

Something something Ichigo... Bankai.

A lot of people post with hyperbole.

Did you ever finish Flame of Recca?


Jesus Christ some of you guys are disturbing :|

Wait thats the source of the Gray, Natsu etc in those glasses? After reading that crossover, I think I want to actually read the series, nice character designs, and the characters are kind of funny.
