Black Museum - Springald by Fujita Kazuhiro
Victorian Era England. A period of pronounced classism, but also of revolution, of change. It's during these troubling times that myths and legends are born, but also crimes and mysteries. Who knows what kind of past is hiding in the various pieces of evidence stored in the Black Museum of Scotland Yard? Let us depart on a journey where folklore and reality mingle, or rather, let us call to the memories held within that odd contraption...
Spring-Heeled Jack, a diabolical figure who terrorized the masses with his ability to jump very high and spit fire, as well as his sharp claws, remained unapprehended, always managing to elude the authorities. Despite the obvious hardships that stand before him, nothing will keep the hot-headed inspector John Rockenfield from getting to the bottom of this affair. What kind of truth will he uncover?
Black Museum - Springald is a fascinating tale that exudes the charm and atmosphere of a century-old painting, combined with the dynamism and expression of contemporary manga. Antiquated speech, detailed backgrounds, stylized characters and an adorable curator meld together to create a memorable work that only makes the reader wish for the author to portray more of these cases.

I so wanted to say that Oregairu isn't harem.
But after seeing some of the stuff in the later chapters, I would only be proven wrong.

Danmachi anime better be good or I'll rage. Log Horizon's shitty animation cuts my heart to pieces every week.
Its so bad, but the plot is so good.
I'm not even sure if you read anything else at this point!

Hey I actually read other series too. Like The Breaker:New Waves, Bezerk, One Piece, Zetman, Dragons Rioting, and Barakamon.
Though I should probably broaden my horizon, but the thing that's stopping me is Finals. So when Christmas break starts I'll start 7 Seeds and some other series.
I've been re-assessing Kongou Banchou. I read a bit of it a couple of years ago and decided to restart the series. All I have to say about it is that, thus-far, easily the greatest parody of shonen series I've ever read with a nice blend of humor and badassery. Will post full impressions once I'm finished.

Wasn't it just a regular science fiction novel?
My Hero Academia 18-20 (Sketchy translations)
Awesome stuff, especially the above teaser right here. Really loving the character design of this manga.
Good to see Kacchan has let go some of his superiority complex and ended up doing the right thing in the end, and nice for Deku to make the save for All Might once rather than vice-versa.
But I'm still on this clock in my head...aka "When is All-MIght going to die" clock. You know it's going to happen, just WHEN I dunno.

Well some level of cute here. It's cute and the characters are likable. Cute.

I think the writing itself is much more sophisticated than today's LNs, but LoGH novels have illustration in it.

This is easily manga of the year, IMHO. It's the RPG version of Log Horizon with more RAGE at the start. It's like the early part of Final Fantasy X in the sense that it's good but it gets better and better as it goes on. However, it picks up steam and gets so beautiful later on. I'm going through the chapters on Baka Tsuki.......
I nerd raged earlier over this manga but gotdamn does it get better later on.

VOLUME 4 IS THE SHIT, YO. Everything in the first 10 chapters come back like a vengeance and it's so beautiful. I want to cry, hug someone, smoke the illest mind altering spirit walk inducing medicinal, and zone out after reading this. It's that good.

I really hope Shieldbro gets an anime.
Manga GAF Help ME! I saw once in this thread a manga that had a main character that had a "skull" mask and it seemed like he was a bad guy but really wasnt. It had very well drawn backgrounds and the only panel I can remember is 2 people walking through a door into a huge courtyard with other monster-ish looking people.
Sorry if this is to vague for you to figure it out!

I see no reason to have one, but it would be cool.
Still waiting for that Overlord though, the first few chapters were, well, interesting.

I'm thinking on dropping the anime and reading the manga because that way at least I will waste less time, I can read it faster than watching an anime equivalent (25 min reading > 25 mins of anime content).
havent watched much of the anime but the music should make for a massive improvement if it can nail the general visual look and flow
Turin Turambar

The visual direction of the anime is pretty decent, the visuals are very nice, the music is good... no complaints on the production side, that's the good part actually and what it made me not drop it for now. But the pace of the anime makes the limelight to focus more time on the bad parts, predictable story, forced drama, tragedy porn as you say, incipient shojo-esque triangle romances, and the big focus on "my feelings!!" almost make it feel like a parody of other exaggerated shojos/seinens.
I'm watching the series with a girl, who reads and watches more shojo/romance stuff, and even for her it's all feels a bit ridicule and not believable (her words).
I like dramas, but I'm on the stance that you need a very delicate, subtle handling on them. And no "oh god I'm traumatized by my dead mom
and the girl I'm in love is dying!".
edit: the first 9 episodes has covered the first 16 chapters.

There is also an interesting difference, in the nature of manga vs the nature of anime.
In manga things feel a lil' bit more abstract, and your imagination supplies the rest. In anime or live action, there is no abstraction, you see the character move really, you don't have to imagine it. You hear the character speak, and shout, and fight etc etc. That makes certain styles that are ok in comic form more intense and direct in anime/live. Too on the nose.

I like the combination of Zoro's fight and all the minor character's battles. One moment of awesomeness for the "small fries" and it shows, that Oda wants the reader to want the story hitting its climax.
Bellamy looks desperate for a victory. He even mastered Haki, but still just can't get any triumph. No wonder, he just gets nuts and attacks Luffy.

Ok, after reading a chapter to compare between manga and anime of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, I read the rest up to the latest chapter; I officially name Naoshi Arakawa master of subtleness. Ironic title.
I know people are all dem feels with this, but I can't take it seriously enough to have feels.
I mean, see the last page of chapter 26

Oh yeah, and a ice cube melting away to reinforce it.
And it isn't like we needed it, the theme is very obvious.
Apart from the bullshit of the statement, btw, it seems in this fantasy world where only melodrama exist in everyone lives the only way to mature is through suffering and loss.

A conversation talking of how sadness and her mom's death made him mature, and the talk ending with "If Kousei were to advance further it'd probably be from further loss" over-imposed with the image of him visiting the dying? girl he is in love with at the hospital.
And it isn't like we needed it, the theme is very obvious.
The idea of the entire manga is built upon this duality: he lost someone and that loss was hugely negative for him, and now he is going to lose someone again, but this time, even if again he will suffer, will be an overall positive experience, as he discovered love thanks to her, made him love music again, etc. The twist will be if she actually survives and they end happily.
