Currently got interested in this new gambling psychological manga called Kakeguru that gave me Gamble Fish/Liar Game vibes from the first chapter so looks promising.
And read another ongoing from first chapter. With thriller/psychological genre it's so painful T_T
so, where should I start in the monogatari series? I tried bakemonogatari, but I feel like I've missed a LOT of things that happened beforehand.
Just watch from broadcast order since chronological order will take awhile since they skip around. Kizumonogatari is the film for example when Araragi becomes a vamp which has yet to be released. It's kind of handled the same way as the Haruhi anime.
Start with Bakemonogatari (15 episode), Nisemonogatari (11 episodes), then Nekomonogatari Black (4 episodes), Monogatari: second season (26 episodes), and then Hanamonogari which airs on August 16th for 5 episodes.
Chronological order is something like Kizumonogatari (what happens in spring break), Nekomonogatari:Black (origin of cat spirit), Bakemonogatari (when MC meets most of the other cast), Nisemonogatari (covers sisters and other stuff), Monogatari second season (after summer break/sister incident), Hanamonogatari ( about Kanbaru when MC graduates high school).
Latest episode of Akame ga Kiru was good although given what I heard that no character has plot armour and that given one character got their backstory revealed and is the nicest to the main character, makes me think they won't last long.
and after watching all the episodes that have been made for Akame ga kiru, I probably just said screw it and read all of the Manga so far, I can say I do enjoy this series so far.
Prison School being animated will be great since the comedy is just ridiculous especially in the later chapters, but it's likely to be censored to hell for the TV release. It might turn out alright though since I know more ecchi anime that somehow evaded the censor bat with minimal damage.
Oh look Gintama getting violent again in the current arc lovely~
I'm garbage at this, but something to the effect of "To protect my life, I must stay a virgin".
It's like slightly twisted version of AGAIN and My Wife is whatever that girl's name is.
It's about a 30 year old who played around with women his entire life who is killed by his best friend, now he's back at high school age trying to make better decisions.
Has anyone here read Osamu Tezuka's manga MW? It's about a manipulative banker and a former-gangster-turned-priest who are trying to uncover the mystery behind a deadly gas leak caused by the government several years prior. It's quite interesting drama.
I'll compare it to M3, or I guess compare M3 to this.
It has a decent concept, but shotty characterization (a lot of characters not even being around to grow didn't help) and meh storytelling ruined a decent concept.
Like, why am I supposed to care about Satoru, because he's the only person left to care for?
I would have loved to know about Reiko, but whoops to busy being dead to get anything.
We watched Mamoru grow, but that was kind of it.
And that was less growth and more of a rapid change.
Shun had potential to be an antithesis, to juxtapose the shiny world inside the barrier at day time to the rest of the world, but he was too busy being dead and then a spirit guide.
The whole mole people idea was fucking asinine.
Maria giving birth to the goddamn devil was pretty dumb as well.
That's what happens when you try kill 'em alls, especially when you do them too early.
Why even kill 2 of the 5 most important characters off screen? The fuck?
They were around to make demon baby and exited stage death?
Why did MC girl raise fucking demon babies when she clearly knows the terrible things it can do?
It wasn't paced very well so when characters changed viewpoints I was like "huh wut".
I read the LN's but the manga does a shit job of explaining the world, it's a horrible adaption that will have you wondering "why in god's name did this girl accept a dude's confession but start eating out some girl's vagina like 5 panels later?", don't recommend the manga to anyone.
If the characters were given any real development, hell, if some of the characters were given any real characterization, that would have been nice.
If the story was paced better, that would have saved it for me.
It had like 3 too many ideas going on at the same time and ended it up feeling a lot like FF7's shitty story with too many subplots.
Also this series holds the honor of having 2 of the most useless time skips I have ever seen utilized.
I will say that the writing behind 2 of the characters falling in love over time was actually pretty decent, it took it's time, there was no fucking time skip, even though one of the characters fell in love over the time skip and we have no reason why but whatever as a whole, the budding romance was decent.
Actually no, I recant that statement.
When your spirit guide has to tell you that you love someone and you can't even figure it out for yourself, that is not good romantic development. That is crap.
Finally picked up Tokyo Ghoul anime, but why am I seeing a bunch of black screens like this constantly popping up for a supposedly violent work?
Censor felt atrocious that ruined the atmosphere for me. It's not even because I want to see blood/gore (Even though it's about eating people), but the way it was handled felt stupid. Better off waiting for the uncensored version and just reading the manga instead.

In Bakemonogatari TV all gore scenes (like monkey paw fight or shironeko fight) was hidden behind "black/red screen"s with sound. Basic TV censorship, you can't change it. Hope it will be fixed in BD (like it was for Bake).
"Here, this will be family friendly and for the mainstream audience, and for all you real niggas who like the quieter feel of the older games and the 3rd Digimon show, we'll give you Digimon Cyberslueth."
Which is giving off a pretty heavy Daganropa vibe, and I am okay with that.
Not that much acctually, the first girl the main guy was with was fishy. And the secound one was boring. The fun was between both mains, and you always knew they will be togheter near the end.
And if your really into the story, you will probably be very pissed off near the final chapter :P

Oh I finished it a while ago, to be fair I stopped pretty hard for a while at the ntr because that was legit rage inducing.
Though kudos to the mangaka for making me feel that.
Just wanted to say, was watching Log Horizon and realized they really portrayed one person's background quickly and were able to show rather than tell
Regarding Tohya and Minori, they were quickly able to establish the whole "He's paralyzed in the real world" through two scenes; 1) Quickly showing her wheeling him in a wheelchair and 2) Tohya's immediate reaction of running around in the world. Maybe this is a small thing, but I just had to say it was effectively done.
a boy who wants to be a girl and a girl who wants to be a boy
puberty
change
that kind of stuff
it handles transgenderism about 5000% better than most other japanese works, so it has that going for it
the art isn't that great, but the material laid out really well and the characters are pretty nuanced
I'd say to give it a read, if you're looking for a story like it
If the story is handled well than that's fine by me since this one could be bad if the story and topic involved was handled badly, so it's good to know they handle the premise well so I might give it a read at some point, along with the other things I need to get through.
Today I finished the Tengen Toppa anime series. Did I like it? I fucking loved it, heck yeah. Means a lot to someone who can't stand mecha animus
My fav chara has to be Leeron, of course. HE'S THE MAN
