Team Pandora Hearts, always present at a chapters release.
Rosehip tea is the only tea worth a damn. Any other kind is so flavorless it's like homeopathy in drink form

What the fuck does this even mean.
Green tea is full of flavour and has tons of nutritional benefits. Scientifically proven even.
Also when Akame raws come out (because reasons) and probably whenever (if ever) a Last Game chapter appears.
Probably a few other raw-related releases too that I'm forgetting.

one of my favourite Takkokus just because of the sheer level of dumb.
so good.

Girls Go Around 1-2 - Theme of "regret" and girls doing time loops due to regretting their decisions. He'll probably have a full harem soon.
Also, I'm waiting for the tragedy arc. Regret and time loops? C'mon. Someone has to kill themselves (or gets killed)! It's like ... the entire purpose of the setup. Solve some minor things and then someone dies.

Well I'm glad it's equal opportunity no underwear here. Even though I doubt that'll ever come up again.

Plus, the girls are good:
poor class rep and childhood friend (who will probably be a yandere because I hope she's a yandere) but you can't stand up to the power of first girl.
Girls Go Around 3 - group date, hooray
Girls Go Around 4 - another date but with third (fourth, I guess?) girl. Hyper girl with a fang. Dear lord.

"Ah, it happened again..."

Attack on Titan Vol 1 and 2
I wanted to review each one last night but was too tired to and went to bed. Anyway...my impressions of these, with their official translation, is no different from my impressions a couple of years ago.
It's a thrilling and exciting action series with some solid character arcs. I'm definitely interested in the world this is taking place, especially when it comes to the origins or the source of the Titans.
With that being said I can't get over how terrible the art is. The proportions for the characters are all over the place. It's so blatant and excessive it really takes me out of the experience. Maybe the anime fixes this?
Maybe I haven't gotten to it's defining arc yet, but I'm not seeing this as the second coming of anime or whatever people like to call it. Nothing being done here is really all that new, the only thing new is that it's material that usually doesn't get this much exposure on a worldwide level. FMA was the same way really, the only difference is that I genuinely feel FMA had better storytelling and character arcs in the first two volumes than this manga does.
Anyway it's definitely a solid start to the series, and I'm looking forward to reading more. B

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The art never gets better, but I guess it never really bothered me.
People say it everytime something dark and edgy comes out.
Yeah you're right. I distinctly remember a time where everyone thought Gantz was the greatest thing ever. I think people still do...but they never read the entire series so it's whatever.

So Akame ga Kill is gonna be a hit?

Attack on Titan is really, really popular though.
I know! But I mean, I love this manga, but people think it's the best thing ever made just because it's darker than what they usually read/watch.

Have you read it? How do you know it isn't?
Girls Go Around 5 - ...hm. Hm. Hrm........
Okay. Maybe they'll be interesting. Maybe. I dunno, I like the original set of girls. I don't think more girls is needed. Especially since that implies things.
Edit: Okay, they pass for now.
*sips*

I mean, I guess I just don't want to speak for other people, but I don't feel like the common sentiment is that its the best thing ever. I think its more that people like it more than anything else that's come out recently.
I'm just telling what I read on forums and what I heard from people I know in real life. Just because it's more violent (it really is the reason I hear all the time) than your average shonen they're all claiming it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Whatever floats their boat you know, I'm not judging, it's just an observation. People acted the same way when Death Note was the shit because it was dark.

It's the new One Piece, it really is. There, and here.
It manages to recapture the essence of the 90s/00s while delivering typical endless shounenshit. The rough art actually helps because it looks "gritty", versus the kind of clean and sterile art you see these days in Jump.

Not even close. More like the new FMA if anything is an apt comparison.
Not seeing how it captures the essence of 90s/00s anime, unless it's now cyberpunk or a mecha series.
The art can be rough and still have correct proportions to things. At first I thought it might've just been a way to stylize the Titans, but nope it's the human characters too...it's fucking awful. Just as bad as Baki the Grappler.

was waiting for something like this to happen
be it Ishida or Nishimaya
things can only get better from here, right?
This is kind of insulting to FMA but I can't entirely deny it.
Rest assured, however, that Attack on Titan will have nowhere near the tight pacing and cohesion of FMA once all is said is done.
Grit, violence. The things that made "anime" stand apart from "cartoons" back during the 90s boom (in the US).

I watched Attack on Titan and thought it was pretty damn bad. enough to make me not even want to try the source material
Exquisite.
That's a shame, it really does the manga a disservice imo
Didn't like the anime at all even though I'm a fan of the source material. You should give it a shot.

does it have different/better characters? because that was the real roadblock for me. the characters all sucked.
Girls Go Around 1-9 - This got axed, didn't it. Chapter 10 is the finale apparently. Not sure how much longer it could go without some eye rolling at the plotline maybe but maybe another volume or so could have worked. Ease into the ending, maybe show off a third set of 3 years. Kind of curious how many bigger loops there are and the sheer depths of insanity at work there.
I guess my biggest disa--regret is that the kind of fun subplot won't actually get anywhere unless there's a massive asspull finale. come on first or second girl, take the win.

Oh if it's about the characters I guess it won't change a thing. At least you don't have to hear them yelling.
Oh ok...why not just watch or read the thousands of adult targeted anime/manga that have been around since the 1970s? (Maybe 60s? Dunno much about this era in manga)

ahhh fair enough. just not for me then I guess. oh well.
People are generally bad with revisiting older stuff. That's another thing Attack on Titan is capitalizing on, the "veneer of the new" combined with the "traditions of the old", like how "retro" games are the thing these days, but you don't actually see people booting up Pacman.
The public generally wants to relive the past without actually reexperiencing it, because we do remember how shitty it was, nostalgia or no.
