3. A comic that's a retelling of The Epic of Gilgamesh. I've always felt like this story was the original shonen, but I haven't really seen a good adaption of it even though its so legendary. This comic will try to be faithful to the original, but will hopefully done in a very cartoony style.

"good" adaptation was the wrong terminology

an "accurate" adaptation would be better. I wanna see an ancient city with an ancient god king fighting a giant bull brought down from heaven. Most generally take the story and apply it to another universe, but I want it to go full on ancient world

Art in Berserk and One Punch Man is insane and make them must reads, even if they found an anime to do it justice.

Since One Punch Man and My Hero Academia were already mentioned I'll throw in a vote for Prison School. It's lewd but its so damn funny <3
 
Recommend me a good manga to read, I'd like to get back into it. The last thing that hooked me was Battle Royale in 2012.

Recommendation:

none

read no manga

wait for them to be animated and those animes to be on toonami so your reactions are more pure, for my greater amusement

Prison School is insanely lewd. I really enjoy it but that shit is like borderline hentai.
Which is fine by me.

I gotta agree with this. The art style just adds to the hilarity in how damn realistic it tries to be at times.

Trying to figure my summer out. I need to register for a second class in order for financial aid to cover the semester since it over usually covers Spring & Fall. But with some recent events, I think I'm gonna have to get another part-time job. I think the college might be able to help me out with that, should discuss things with them once finals are done for the week.

I, uh, also hope to be able to plan more get-togethers with the girl my dad told me about, considering we talked for almost 2 hours over coffee last week.
 
I took a whole week of vacation so you guys have given me plenty of material to read lol

This also reminds me that I need to get back into One Piece on Hulu since I'm way past where toonami is at.

Btw, I'm not talking Shokugeki no Soma lewd

I mean LEWD.
Yeah, I'm starting to remember that I discovered this & jumped around a bit. I just remembered the
"SURPRISE I'M A YANDERE & YOU'RE GONNA STAY IN MY ROOM FOREV0RZ!!"
chapter and a few others.

I'd strongly disagree on both accounts. I really enjoyed the characters in both and the Hyouka mysteries were varied and kept me enthralled. To each his own though.

I found over the past year I moved away from action anime and I am glad I did.

I like a bunch of anime that aren't action orientated, those 2 are just really boring to me.

Should have separated those two thoughts. I wasn't so much commenting on your critique as just making a statement about my recent anime selections.

Prison School is legitimately one of the most entertaining things I've ever read. Also, Mushishi is one of my favorite animes.

Nah, those shows, good as I'm sure they are, wouldn't do good on Toonami.

A better list would be:

Madoka Magica
Fate/Zero
Full Metal Panic!
Code Geass

Now THOSE shows would provide some fun reactions in here!

Mirai Nikki and Meguca would be so amazing omg

I was just choosing shows that would never air on Toonami :p FMP and the other listed shows have shot.

I stated it before in this(?) thread but I just want to repeat it one more time, Future Diary is pretty close to the second coming of DMWL. The reactions alone would be glorious.

Adult swim just aired a bump addressing Dragon Ball Super. Got a chuckle out of me.

Andd FMAB down. That was 20 episodes in a sitting o_O

Enjoyed.

So episode by episode I have some mixed views since some episodes didnt have too much going on, but overall, it was definitely a good show. Next up is NGE, dunno when thatll be though :3

Prison School is very lewd but it just works so well. Unlike a lot of other manga/anime where the fanservice gets in the way or is just a way to pander to teenagers too young to buy porn or know where to find it online, the lewdness in Prison School is part of the humor and works to its advantage somehow. It starts a bit slow but damn does it get good <3

Hyouka and Shirobako are snoooore

Considering the crap that's already on or been on Toonami, Future Diary seems like the show the block deserves :p

FMP would be god-like.

Fumoffu and Second Raid are excellent for totally different reasons but honestly the first Full Metal Panic series is pretty pedestrian.

Nah, those shows, good as I'm sure they are, wouldn't do good on Toonami.

A better list would be:

Madoka Magica
Fate/Zero
Full Metal Panic!
Code Geass

I think he recognizes that which is why he said "won't come to Toonami" :p

Also Code Geass has already been on Adult Swim. I figure it would do better now than it did in the past but the people running Toonami may be hesitant to try something that has already bombed :(
