Gokukoku no Brynhildr Overall Thoughts

First off I would like to say that typing out Gokukoku no Brynhildr is such a pain. I've had to fix Gokukoku like 20 times today.

Surprisingly, considering my thoughts from the first episode of the anime was that it was trash I actually quite enjoyed the past half dozen or so hours that I spent reading it. In fact I was enjoying it enough to not go to sleep 4hrs ago. Most of the later girls were quite good, although I never really got behind Kuroneko and Kotori. Besides the last technohacking, I thought the solutions were grounded enough that I never had complaints with them.

Kazumi is still the best, though.

Reina continues to be the best GF in manga. Dropping those truthbombs without regrets.

wtb moe souls 2

Took me a min to realized that was the desert sorceress outfit.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Congrats on not getting cancelled!



I guess World Trigger is now safe for a bit, wwwwww

Best news today, cant wait to see anime Yuma faces

 

[dakkumauji]

Ballroom e Youkoso 2 (Part 1)

Arghh, don't really like these half-chapter abrupt endings, but it's better than nothing. Anyways, looks like he's found a rival. Or a future rival I guess considering the difference between them.

Long chapters are longggggggggg

Long chapters are longggggggggg

So dakku prefers bite-sized manga, like minamoto.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Man, for being simulpub it's kind of weird that crunchyroll got beaten by the scanlators this time when it comes to UQ holder.

 

[bigkrev]

Considering he reads everything, he probably likes the shorter stuff so he has more time

You guys just love making everything into cannibalism somehow

I was thinking more mini-oreos.

Maybe panda needs to get a psych exam

Are you saying that dakku is actually manga?

 

[Forkball]

Can anyone recommend any samurai/feudal Japan manga? Yes, I know about Vagabond and Blade of the Immortal. And Basilisk. Is Azumi any good?

Look I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Things happen.

It's not historical or realistic at all, so probably not what you're looking for, but Sengoku Youko has a feudal Japan theme.

Nobonaga no Chef is the obvious recommendation.

Maybe Sengoku Youko?

EDIT: DAMMIT BEATEN BY THE PANDA

Double edit: I remember reading Gamaran last year. What happened to it?

 

[upandaway]

While we're on the subject, Oda Nobuna got a chapter released a couple days ago apparently. I doubt this is the start of an actual faster pace but it's nice to hope for it.

Very long chapter lengths are just very daunting.

It's just starting to get translated but Nobunaga Concerto

 

[upandaway]

It got up to a time skip and then it disappeared off the face of the earth. It's still a mystery what happened to it. I can't find any single chapter beyond the first one of the skip.

Denpa Kyoushi 114
Making 4-komas out of art is pretty funny

Prison School 112

Seems like andreconomics is trying to make a comeback, albiet from a different source.

should be interesting to see if the payoff is worth it.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Shaman King Flowers 24

Way too short, I wanted a bit more action with the explanation of the card/money powers.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Torikago no Tsugai 1-7

Saw with teenegers...is actually quite interesting.

 

[Mockingbird]

Magi 221

This Solomon arc is pretty boring.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Still no soma anime

ok

Remember it had a decent ending

The more you know

Soma is a widget series. Its not that surprising. I'm fairly sure one will show up once we get past the tournament arc, though.

 

[Aizo]

Well....

Pardon me, I have to prepare a meal.
Ahhh, my words! They taste horrible going back into my mouth!!!

It allows you to personalise your desktop with a clock, cpu checker, etc. etc.

 

[Haly]

Okay...

How do I get Soma on my blog?

 

[Zweizer]

What is a widget series?

"A Widget (WJT) is marketed as a Weird Japanese Thing, relatively offbeat compared to what is considered mainstream or popular. This has become more inclusive as anime and manga have developed a more mainstream presence, but usually exploits culture differences. The Widget Series often consists of Surreal Humor or a Gag Series. "

From TvTropes

Also includes:
WTF (A Weird Thing from France)
W(H)AT (A Weird (Humorous) American Thing)
Wabbit (Weird British Thing)
Wicket (Weird Canadian Thing)
STANZA (Strange Thing from Australia/New Zealand/Australasia)
EIEIO (Excessively Irish Example of Intentional Oddity)
WST (Weird Scandinavian Thing) and WIT (Weird Icelandic Thing).
PEGS (Peculiar & Eccentric German Subject)

 

[Antiwhippy]

I dunno if soma is that weird or japanese. Cooking shows, especially competitive reality TV shows, are popular world wide, and let's face it Soma is basically Iron Chef.

The only thing that might be weird about Soma is the obsession with gigantic boobs, but that's not really an exclusively japanese thing either.

This is fucking retarded fuck TVTropes.

Don't be mad Haly. MangaGaf is a place of peace and tranquility. Unless of course a waifu war starts

I knew about the widget thing before, but I didn't realise that tvtropes have also gone into the deep end with other countries.

Kind of related, I wonder why sports is such a big genre in Japan but other countries's comics almost never have stories like, say, Captain Tsubasa, Slam Dunk, Eyeshield 21...

 

[Turin Turambar]

I think I read this, some years ago. It rings a bell.

 

[upandaway]

Okay...

How do I get Soma on my blog?

The better question is where do I find this Haly blog.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Same reason why superhero comics dominate the NA comic market I guess.

 

[bjork]

I read about ten chapters or whatever about a week ago? The girl's dad is runs a host club but he's a crossdresser or something. And she faints whenever this guy touches her. I can't remember the name, but I don't think I was going to continue anyway. Did find that panel funny, though.

 

[BatDan]

Wait, World Trigger is getting an anime? BEFORE Soma and AssClass? What is this?

Ugh...
Mediocrity continues to be sustained.

Because for every sport but soccer, the best leagues in the world are all in America. Sports "fiction" (Playmakers, Friday Night Lights, ect) never hit it too big because they are competing against the real thing.

The more popular stuff always take a while to get an anime. The less popular stuff usually get nothing at all, but if they do, it's not that crazy to get it early.

I assume Jump wants to handle the more popular series more carefully.

Found the spoiler info at ArlongPark.

Apparently he's taking two weeks off to rest at the hospital.
He needs to stop smoking. Seriously.

One Piece to become bi-weekly confirmed?

Or maybe to sleep more than 3 hours per day.
