Everything has been handled better in the anime.
What the hell? The manga sounds like a terrible exercise in bad taste by the way you guys talk.
Don't misunderstand, the manga, especially the first half or so, is reasonably enjoyable. The anime has gone in a different direction with it though, and it's a much better one.
Ah, thanks. I'll be keeping an eye on this guy from now on.
That's good to know. Are there any parts that are changed dramatically to fit in the adaptation?
Nothing too big has been changed, but there's been plenty of smaller changes, the MC is less annoying in the anime, since he doesn't wear a stupid cat expression on his face all the time, unlike the manga, and
babu's death
of Rea and her father weren't in the manga at all, I believe.

Huh. I'm going to have to watch this.
Yep, I'll be watching this (again) in short order!
To commemorate this, here is an excerpt from Hisako Kanemoto's Ika Musume radio show wherein she attempts to complete two user-submitted tounge-twister challenges.Wow, I've been away for a few hours.
I'll catch up in a minute, but before I do, I have a new member to welcome to my Anime BluRay family! Say hello for squidly sake!

They sure are trying to sell those BD's. Watching the first episode of Yami makes it even harder for me to come to terms with the fact that DEEN did this. My god.

That dad's really fucked up.
Whoa, I didn't know this was getting a BD release! Does it include the Mini-Ika specials?
Sankarea 02
Yep, this is turning out to be a pretty strong show. Totally has those Shaft touches too, including those growing irises in super close ups in the place of fan service. Even wading into potentially dangerous territory everything here is handled in a mature and respectful manner. This show is really just filled with excellent framing and scene transitions.

It's lots of just really small things that add a lot to the show, like Rea getting caught and the show cutting to Babu's grave.

I only skimmed over the first two chapters, which I thought were pretty terrible.
after i catch up with what's airing yoAren't you supposed to be watching something else?
Just so you can see what I mean, the MC has this expression on practically every panel, even during the serious moments:

...what a horrible choice. I don't see how that even works in serious moments. anime>manga indeed.
That can't be true, since Summer has Horizon and that's enough to make Summer an impressive season!
It might be funny the first few times, but it gets old really fast. Especially
since he wears it all time, while trying to revive Babu, while thinking about Rea's fucked up life, and so on.
The MC is really an unlikeable jerk in the manga, now that I think about it.

The ED is so much better.
It's barely animated, but the song's ok.

I like the song. As Brazil said, the animation is almost non-existent though.
eh, I disagree. I think the OP is better than the ED.
Why are you making me want to watch this show? ;_;

Eureka Seven AO 01:
Just to echo the sentiment of everyone else, that was...........good?
I mean, sure, it has ~25 more chances to become terrible and the premise's relation to the original is still a mysterious, confusing mess, but that was a surprisingly promising first episode. Ao is likable and not overbearingly shounen, Naru isn't the generic fanservice character I feared she'd be, the set-up was clean, well-paced, and introduced several relevant factions and terms in a relatively understandable manner, there were a few terminological throwbacks to the original E7, and the entire episode was absolutely gorgeously animated. I've read everyone's speculation for the first episode and really have nothing to add, so I'll just say that I'm cautiously looking forward to next week.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a joke in the manga, but it was more about implications than being overt like in the anime. The guy is still treated like a colossal creeper, but he doesn't enter complete monster territory like he does in this (though he gets pretty close).
Space Bros has aliens?

There was the "UFO" that the young brothers sighted, but I don't think it's extraterrestrial in origin.
The ED is just so much more thematically consistent!
Yami to Boushi 2
this is fucking amazing

I will go there inori wo~ followed by a random mouse cursor clicking on one of the 6 rotating books. 5/5
The UFO shows up in like the first five minutes.
Kimi ni Todoke S2 05
I'm about to lose my mind right now.
I'm about to lose my mind right now.
But damn at Yoshida! Put her in a dress with makeup in front of Kazehaya and she'd blow Sawako and Kurumi out of the water. The tomboy can actually be the prettiest character on the show when she wants to be. Damn!
Sawako taking a giant leap back in her relationship with Kazehaya is a huge turn off. Who just sits there and freezes at someone they just spent New Years with? At least Yano understands my pain.
Even though I hate the bitch, I'm starting to hope Kurumi comes back and does something that causes either Kazehaya or Sawako to act. Only damn character who knew what she wanted Day 1. Tch.
My older sister can't be this shounenbro chapter III:
Fairy Tail 05:
I've noticed that this show uses a lot of public domain music. This episode had something from Carmen and the can-can dance. I suppose it works, but it really adds to the already low-budget feel of the show.
Fairy Tail 06:
My sister didn't approve, but I sure did. Off to Pixiv...

I should check this out at some point before CR decides to take it down.
My impression is that it's a wacky slapstick humor kind of thing, which I don't usually care for that much (e.g. I dropped Milky Holmes after a few eps), but I might be surprised.

Mai Ritoru Poni: Yuujou wa Mahou 19
Hoho there lover boy. Spike is clearly a bit of a player.
This is one of those episodes where you can really tell that the target audience is still 12 year old girls and not 23 year old males. Unfortunate.
Rarity being the expert dressmaker that she is needs to find all those Jems so she can play some more SFxT or make some more dresses I dunno.
Anyway
Now if this had been a show designed with the 23 year old male demographic in mind the events that unfolded afterwards would have been completely different than the way they played out in this episode. In the episode, Rarity
. Had this show not been made for kids,
Episode was really a bit much in terms of how slapstick the whole thing was. Not really an enjoyable episode but I did get this out of it and all’s well that ends well.
Kinky.

she gets kidnapped and taken hostage by David Bowie’s very own Diamond Dogs.
escapes out of this predicament by being the most obnoxious whiny bratty pony ever until they decide to release her.
the Diamond Dogs would have just beat her up like a mule every time she was being disobedient and thus be able to continue collect their own gems while keeping her in line.

I should have worded my post better. I just meant that the author didn't handle it very deftly and it came off as not so serious.
Hopefully not.

Doesn't help that the song's bad.
Brofist.
It's an ok slapstick comedy. Quirky and funny at first with bits of daww~ throughout. However, it recycles jokes far too much to be top-tier and it only gets worse by the second season. Still decent though.
There's more to an OP/ED than the music. It's how the visuals and the music combine.

Subete no aware
She's mostly a nothing character in s1 though.
Kurumi is the "best" and Sawako is the best. Easy!
You should give a review of Feep's voice acting.
It's more "nonsense" humour than straight up slap stick.
Like, "Oh look, these humans have weird customs! Let me try to mimic them!" and so forth.

Space Brothers 2:
Another strong episode, although maybe not quite as strong as the first. It was still pretty great outside of one scene (
) which was just stupid. Once again, they mixed the flashbacks with the present well, and we get a better idea of Mutta's character and how he pursued his dreams in the past. I also think they captured the feeling of being nervous in a job interview quite well. Very excited to see where everything goes.

I'm actually kind of wanting to watch Fairy Tail at an accelerated pace now, but I suppose I can manage a few episodes a week. The fights and overall plot are still pretty dull, but I like a lot of the manic humor in a shut-your-brain-off sort of way. It seems like a series that would make for easy marathoning.
