Mosquito Girl was never revived
Unless something else happened to her she's got prosthetic arms and is working at a restaurant now

Reading New Lone Wolf and Cub and so far (Volume 4) is very mid. Instead of doing shorter stories we get volume long chapters focusing on different characters that so far doesn't go anywhere.

And the problem isn't even the artist, who is very good.

I’m both mad and sad that I found out today that 2.5D Seduction ended its manga series back on December 20th of last year. If anything, I was still in the beginning parts of the story and it was really well done.

Now I’ll have to finish reading it (or remember when I last started off) and start watching the anime already from the beginning.
 
japanese are so effeminate
when i fly over i will seduce all the women by actually talking to them, something every japanese man dreads with all their being

Seriously though, why is that kind of faggotry so present in anime?
 
"I can't fight, but will build a harem of women who will fight for me."

It's a different kind of slop. This particular slop involves him wanting to get out of treasure hunting adventuring but his companions and everyone around him keep him stuck through retarded amounts of shit luck followed by his interpersonal luck kicking in making it all work out. It's slop but I love me some sloppa
 
Tyranno is wild. I don't even need to give context but this is parts of chapter 12.

The guy in the pinstripe suit isn't even the main character, he's just some side Yakuza boss dude who got introduced and instantly had a hardon.
 
Been watching the classic Bubblegum OVAs, awesome cyberpunk action leagues better than most anime today.

However, the OVAs made me think of another OVA I barely recall, which maybe you guys can recognize. I know the bad guy was possibly an old man who used a bathroom with hidden buttons that descended to his secret, hi-tech base (the stall being a literal throne). I believe the heroines used portable chips of some sort to transform into different power armors, and I recall at one point of said girls (or maybe an enemy), is cut in half. Ideas? It's likely from the 90s.
 
Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Rail Zeppelin Grace Note (God what a fucking long name) is a hot mess of a show. Studio Troyca did wat they could, except for the train itself and vehicles in general. My main gripe is with the story itself, as it's in the middle of the volumes, references older happenings we don't get flashbacks to, and ends on a cliffhanger that won't be resolved. Makoto Sanda himself requested it that way. Why, I don't know. Maybe he wanted people to buy the books instead of watching it, but it just makes me not want to interact with this part of Type-Moon at all. But that's fine, I'm just one man going against an army of Yumes who self insert as Gray and keep the series going. The only thing that will draw my interest again is a series on the Dismantling War Nasu and Sanda have in their back pockets
 
Nasu and Sanda have in their back pockets
It's Sanda. Nasu doesn't care. Really, Nasu doesn't give much of a shit about his original vision anymore. You just need to read the remake of Tsukihime and the original to see that. Hell, just read the remake and compare Arcade Turkeyhandle, the Moon and the Earth's bastard love child who is also both of them, somehow more grounded story to whatever the fuck he made Ciel's route. Unironically changed things so the power levels would be more like his fucking gachaslop.

You're not missing anything by avoiding the spin-offs. Really, it's better to. The Holy Grail War went from some obscure ritual to revive the Third Magic that keeps getting mages killed to a fundamental part of the fucking universe. Einzberns invented the servant class system because heroic spirits are too powerful and distinct to summon as they were? ACKSHULLLY, it's a function of the world against cosmic abominations. Counter Force? More like Janitor Jobber Force.

In Apocrypha, it's so fucking common there are grail wars with house rules so they don't summon Hassan as an assassin because that would be lame and he doesn't shit out nukes. Mana being a problem for servants because nukes logically take energy? Uh, don't think about it. Just consume product and be excited for next product.

There's a reason why Beast's Lair, the forum to discuss Type-Moon, has plummeted to just the gachafags: damn near everyone else left with only the most devoted fanboys and delusional faggots remaining.
 
I think I've almost caught up on Baki and it sure does suck. I think all the characters have slowly become unironically homosexual?
It's just the same six or so losers, who we know suck because the main character and every new guy has beaten them already, standing around implying that they love cock while they wait for their turn to fight the new new guy.
After he became the strongest dude in the world and then became a dinosaur to beat a caveman and history's greatest clone zombie, you'd think for sure they'd have to send him into the future or to fight aliens or something next, right? No idiot, that's too predictable, instead we're going to gayly stand gayly around waiting gayly for our turn to fight a bunch of guys who we already basically established in the very first book are definitely weaker than every single character so far. Plot twist: they're actually weak and team gay loser beats them up with no effort, and that's the arc.

Meanwhile the main antagonist, whose whole thing is gatecrashing fights because he's such a fight maniac that he wants to ruin everything and fight the newest guy all the time, is bored because he hasn't done that for three books for no reason. So now he has a new hobby, which is constantly talking about how he wants to fuck men in the ass. IMO, that's also a little gay.

> Narnia
Fantasy involving a normal person from our world having to contend with the fantastic elements in much the same way a native to that world would usually by assimilating into it in some way. Fantastical threats are usually played up for the purpose of outlining how different everything is, and the protagonist tends to adopt ways of thinking from this new world in order to succeed.

> Yankee
The fantastic elements of the other world are no less fantastical, but the world the protagonist is from offers them unique advantages and insights that ultimately help them triumph over the various challenges they might face. This may be because of prevailing cultural mindsets, habits, or even actions that end up useful that the natives wouldn’t reasonably do. Regardless, these protagonists tend to have a lasting cultural effect on their new world(or at least the people they talk to) because of their inherent otherness.
Philip J. Fry satisfies both of these though. Categorisation exercise thwarted.
 
I always prefered reading manga in .cbr or .cbz grabbed from Nyan and the like over these online manga reading sites. Still, $60k a month is some very tidy income.
on the source material which was a huge pile of POS
Ultra pleb opinion, not surprised it is coming from you, but i agree that the trailer to this looks like shit. I didn't even like SAC's design compared to Shirow's artwork but this is much worse.
