By Lunatic Go To PostThe anime has been a great adaptation so far. The manga is a look into a special mind. I say read it but if you prefer animation just watch it.You read Fire Punch?
Fujimoto's manga before CSM. Reading Fire Punch after CSM makes CSM look like they put a muzzle and leash on Fujimoto lol
By s y Go To PostYou read Fire Punch?Yes I did read Fire Punch lol. First chapters already touch on cannibalism & incest

That last stretch sure was something lol
------
Almost caught up with Tenkaichi.
It's a straight forward battle manga about an alt history feudal Japanese tournament to inherit control of the country from the Demon King Nobunaga.
It's straightforward as in, 90% of the content are the tournament matches but the characters(who are all historical figures) are all batshit. There is no main character, protagonist or antagonist either.
I started reading it since I saw that the artist is going to work with ONE on his new manga. It really is well drawn.
Also Fuma Kotaro is a buff girl in this timeline

By s y Go To PostThought for sure CSM would take it this week but today's Mob episode felt like a movie
Unbelievable how they don't miss.
If y'all haven't checked out Bocchi The Rock! yet, please do. An absolute delight. Bocchi is one of my fave characters in awhile.

Thoughts on the CSM anime so far
I think by itself the anime is good, as an adaptation I can't help but feel that it somewhat fails to capture the energy and expression of the manga.
I have qualms about the action direction as well but the biggest issue for me is that the production seems so focused on keeping the characters on model all the time and combined with the more grounded designs...the silly, crude and bombastic expressions in the manga don't translate. I think this also extends to the voice direction and comedic timing.
Still really enjoying it either way. I'm always happy when an adaption doesn't copy the manga 1:1 but I'd be lying if I said the 3rd ED didn't capture the spirit of the work more than anything from the show.

By domino Go To PostWell that's certainly one of the coolest things I've ever seen
no idea what this series is but the visuals are cool
Might work better as a music video or something than a whole series

Finally Yuki screentime. Her being a Star Plasma Vessel makes sense, explains why she stays the fuck out of Japan lol. I like the characterization in this chapter a lot. Also rip choso

I enjoyed the framing of that conversation, as well as the "info dump". Creative ass way of seeing that play out.
Witch from Mercury
Funnels have to be the most bullshit thing ever. I prefer my mechs to have crazy shit like this, but nah bro. This cyber newtype and these Gundams gotta go. I hope purple hair fella gets the most nonsensical machine ever.

By s y Go To PostJJKAlso something I don't see people picking up on is that these Kenjaku/Choso scenes are playing out a day after we saw Yuji's squad in the hotel/soldiers invaded the colony.

Kenjaku said that the ritual is done and he's ready to merge everyone with Tengen, then I'm guessing all those soldiers are dead lol.
By s y Go To PostThat last stretch sure was something lolAnd apparently they decide who wins the fight while drawing it and nothing is planned. Sounds fucking awesome

I like how Fujimoto went back to weekly chapters of CSM since the anime started. The chapter releases the same time as the new episode airs. Synergy lol
Chapter was fun and probably the best anime episode yet.

Omfg the ending to today's Mob episode 🤣🤣
What an episode. The music 😭
The "percentage rising" is one of the greatest narrative devices of all time

By domino Go To Postwtf the original to be hero was about some guy that got sucked into a toilet and became a super hero lmfao
no idea what this series is but the visuals are cool
The Alabasta arc of One Piece is really really really really boring
I stopped watching the show for like 2 months, put an episode on and nothing's happening still, will they stop the war in time, will vivi cry about the king, will they hit the mole person with the hammer, will they be hot in the desert some more
Should I skip this? I'm guessing Luffy beats Crocodile in the end and they move to the next island

Just read the manga.
By Not Go To PostI might, this is just too slow for me
It is honestly only gonna get slower from here.
It is one of the pitfalls of doing shonen mangas with episodes on a weekly basis.
Doing a set number of episodes is the new thing, which seems to produced more consistent anime.
It is not as bad as Naruto with all the filler episodes, but you will get them repeating the same flashback over and over again during certain arcs.
https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/one-piece
Here you can find the filler, but they sometimes mox filler and canon together in a lot of episodes, which makes it feel slower.
I really enjoyed the anime, but haven’t watched it in a few years. Now that I have crunchyroll i might try to get caught back up.
I do see the sakuga people post of the newer stuff, I wonder at what point I should dive back into the anime.
It was just easy to check out being on Netflix and all

I thought this would be a show sending up shoujo tropes (girl uninterested in romance has to put up with shitty culture forcing her into it) and watched the pilot, but instead it straightaway implied she was in the wrong
Japan sucks

By domino Go To PostWhat’s Dimples deal this whole outburst seems out of left field.i mean he's been plotting his return to evildom since season 1
Dimple def been on that fuck shit for a minute.
I take it back, Suletta's Gundamn is OD. Aerial did an EMP version of Vegeta's Final Explosion and then did some crazy shit with the funnels. I hope she never loses, tbh.
I guess anytime someone sings Happy Birthday, people start dieing in this show. Shit got dark af, real fast.
edit: This show might actually be more fucked up than I gave it credit for. A lot of creepy shit, this episode.

One thing I am confused about is that the beginning of the episode mentioned an event 21 years ago. But Ehri (iirc) was 4 at the time of the prologue and is ~15 now. Not 25. So, something fucky is going on.

Yea, a lot of stuff isn't adding up.
That, the way the mom and Suletta refers to Aerial is weird af now. Elan's response during the duel. The fortune teller telling her that she has a sibling. Something fucked up must have happened, before / after the prologue.
I wouldn't be shocked if Suletta has a sibling and it's literally Aerial or some clone shit happened.
Oh yeah that scene is nuts. The specific closer shot from above of them moving through the crowd has always stayed with me
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostYea, a lot of stuff isn't adding up.I wonder if the fortune teller was right about Suletta having a sibling but it is Ericht's father that is inside the Aerial now (along with others???) because of that data storm from his permit score going to high and wanting to be with his family. Maybe the Aerial and each of the bits has their own person that was a victim of the GUND-Arm system as their AI?

My friend was thinking that this current Suletta is not the kid from the prologue. The lady said the stuff happened 21 years ago, but Eri was 4 then. So is Eri Ariel? Is Suletta someone else completely? All this weird stuff when this show is been focusing on high school drama lmao
By Kibner Go To PostMaybe the Aerial and each of the bits has their own person that was a victim of the GUND-Arm system as their AI?
I watched the fight again, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was this. If this pans out, that would be wild af. Instead of just child soldiers, you have a bunch of dead ones helping the pilot.

For real. I know it needed setup, but the high school shit is easily the least interesting part of it. LOL
Can't decide if this is show is good [technohorror, world building, mystery, corporate/geopolitical intrigue] or bad [everything else]
I forgot about homie that turned into the gorilla. Smh. Fire episode, aside from that dumbass shit.
**
The English version of Gundam's OP dropped. It's actually Aerial's perspective. Damn, so either the A.I. gained sentience or it really is somebody's consciousness.
Either way, I can't imagine the Gundam is cool with whatever the mom is doing for revenge.

I wonder why they cut the more explicit details about the gun devil's attack, out of the anime. Anime only folks are missing out on just how large of a scale it was.
