Doğum günün kutlu olsun. :)

Heeey, thank you!! Such a long time! I'm fine, thanks :) And you, how are you doing?

Ya, that’s my problem. I grow impatient in between releases haha! I end up buying up to what’s released in English and then reading the newer chapters online through Crunchyroll or elsewhere. See that’s funny, I read DN and then watched it. It varies for me depending on which one I check out first.


Ah!! I completely forgot about that! Well then yes I guess that does make sense why they didn’t kill him off. Like I said, it’s been waaayy too long since I saw the last adventure haha!


If you’re looking for a new manga I highly recommend Berserk. That has grown into my favorite manga of all time. I paused reading it only because I know chapter releases are very far and few between. It takes a year or more just for a new volume to come out. However, you so t be disappointed. The only other time I saw artwork as detailed as Berserk was in the Akira manga but even still Berserk may have an edge on that. If you like medieval fantasy and demon slaying Berserk is a must read.


I lost lots of interest overtime as well. I’ve only been getting back into it over the past year or so. I have another account on here called otakudb but I created this new one to keep track of what I’ve gotten back into. There was a 6 year gap between when I stopped watching anime and getting back into it.

Thanks!

I take what I said. Tokyo Ghoul is NOT good. The story is interesting, there are lots of things to cover, but the anime is just a mess in the end. The manga must be a lot better, I think I'll give it a try.

I know what you mean! Today was the first day my internship, so I can say goodbye to my hours of free time everyday :( (although I'm pretty happy because of it ahaha)

I'm definitely watching DRRR as soon as I can! It's definitely one the anime that I was expecting the most. The first season was awesome! What are your thoughts on this second season?

Right now I am watching Tokyo Ghoul and it's been pretty good so far, you should check it out (if you like the genre) :)

I noticed you dropped Shingeki no Kyojin :O Why is that? It's hard for me not to put it on my top five recently haha

Hmmm, I don't really read american comics. There are some series that I like, like Hellblazer, but I never start reading them. I must say that this "different universes" thing strongly discourages me :(

As for manga, I haven't been reading much also (aside from Claymore, because well, I read pretty slow haha). But I plan on reading Btoom!. I watched and really liked the story (I can't get tired of the survival genre haha).

Actually both. Been caught up in my Master's, and having a lot of issues with my ex-girlfriend. Not a great situation, but all is well now.
What about yourself? Any news on your side?

Damn! I totally forgot Drrr!! got a second season! I usually do this first episode marathon with a few friends, but this season it was canceled due to illness from a couple of them, so I wasn't really up to date on it all! Better start watching that soon, haha :P

Kiseijuu I was watching as well, but like with Log Horizon I fell very very far behind in my absence ^^" Got so much to catch up on now.

Hmm, the name doesn't really ring a bell, but I'll be sure to check that out. Could use a show that's a little deeper than most of the anime out there nowadays :p

Interesting. The main reason I prefer Baccano! to Durarara is the characters. They're just a lot more, I guess, fun for me. Durarara's character writing is more mature & the characters themselves usually has more layers to Baccano! which normally I prefer but the Baccano! characters are just so much fun in my opinion that it doesn't even matter. Isaac & Miria are enough to make me prefer Baccano!, throw in Ladd, Claire, Jacuzzi, Nice, etc. & I'm in love. Personally, the only characters in Durarara!! I love as much as Baccano! are Izaya, Shizuo & Celty (though I like several others). & the two of those I love best, Izaya & Shizuo, I feel are more in line with Baccano! characters than Durarara!!, if that makes sense. Admittedly, there are dull characters in Durarara!! & the Dallas plot line was really dull but the stuff on the Flying Pussyfoot made up for it with me. Oh & the episode on the ship was boring but yeah. There are plenty of other things that make me prefer it over but I guess I'll just leave it it's more fun to watch for me.

My favorite character with YYH's a little strange. It's Hiei for every arc except Chapter Black, where it's Kurama. So I don't know if I go with the guy who's my favorite there or the one who's my favorite during my favorite part. I lean towards Hiei though. Funny enough though, Kurapika is my favorite from Hunter x Hunter. So my favorite in HxH is the Kurama counterpart. Your favorite is the Hiei counterpart yet Hiei's my favorite in YYH & yours is Kurama. Noticed the same thing with MrAM.

& yeah, I always wish we got some resolution on the Hiei/Yukina thing. It's a bit of a shame Togashi ended YYH, & with another tournament arc (which by the way, the anime made a lot better [you don't even get Yomi vs. Yusuke in the manga, you get like two pages of it starting then the manga timeskips & you just read how the bout ends (though the manga had several small side stories that were left out of the anime)]) but considering how often he goes on hiatus, I'm glad he started Hunter x Hunter as early as he did, lol. I do like the last episode of the anime though.

Yeah, stuff like that's always cool. Little odd in Durarara!! with how you'd constantly see Baccano! playing in the background but still. Yeah, it really sucks that Togashi's health problems or Dragon Quest if you believe that theory. I was expecting at least one more chapter, since I read he normally goes on hiatus on the 10's (so like, if we got a chapter 11, we should've been safe until 20). Really sucks because the Dark Continent Arc has the strongest start of any HxH arc in my opinion. Hopefully he gets better & returns to work before the years done, I don't want to wait two years.

Oh, it's not just your manga list. Can't believe I didn't check the anime list too. I have no idea how to do any of that stuff either which isn't a big problem. The standard list works fine.

& that's probably the best bet, I've posted in a lot of chapter discussions for HxH (very few in the anime boards, when I was caught up guys like MrAM or Cresherhsm [think I spelled it right] usually said my thoughts except much better than I ever could [or noticed things I didn't]). Actually currently reading through the Greed Island Arc for HxH.

Haven't read Pluto yet but I've been meaning too for awhile. One of my friends even likes it better than 20th Century Boys. Urasawa's probably my favorite mangaka out there (though it's close with Togashi) so I plan to eventually go through all his works, even the slice of life comedy about a girl & judo. Happy, I think it's called? Also can't wait for him to finish Billy Bat, since I'm not reading any of that until it's completed.

What's your favorite of his works, Monster? It's definitely my favorite, even bought the first two volumes the other day, along with the first volume of Master Keaton which he also worked on.

It's been awhile since I saw anything truly amazing, I guess the first cour of Mushishi Zoku Shou (I really need to get around to watching the final cour) would be the last amazing thing I saw. That or LotGH: Overture to a New War (I really need to get around to watching the OVA). Of the stuff I'm watching now, my favorites are probably Kaiji, Shinsekai Yori or Tegami Bachi. Though I see you dropped Tegami Bachi. What was your issue with it? Since you've already seen Kaiji, I'll just talk about the middleman.

Shinsekai Yori, which I'm only a little over halfway through, has been really fascinating so far. The show has some of the best world-building I've seen in an anime & it's no small part because they dedicate enormous amount of time to it. I believe so far, there are a total of two & a half episodes where it's just one character explaining the world's history to our protagonist, Saki (though, others can be involved & they aren't just listening too, they react & interact too). The episodes are of course split up & sync well within the narrative. One of them was evenly heavily rooted in the emotional conflict at the time & those episodes are my favorites of the series so far. On paper, it sounds like something I might've hated but it's the best quality of the show. The characters on the other hand, are more of mix-bag. At the very least, the ones the series chooses to focus on, namely Saki & Satoru are great but the supporting cast isn't very interesting or compelling. Though that said, MAL lists several characters as main who personally seem more of a supporting role for me or a device. The animation is usually pretty good though it's had a bad episode or two & the OST is pretty solid. Also, I'm not sure if this means much but it kinds feels like a sci-fi series wearing the skin of a fantasy series. Also, if you've heard of the show, you've probably heard the controversy surrounding it & homosexuality. There's like, a ten second clip of two guys kissing (& like twenty of yuri [though, more motorboating than anything) & that's it. There were people hating on the show entirely for the former, which is kinda silly if you ask me since it was both foreshadowed & minimal. It's been practically non-existent since then though.

What about you?
