people use MangaDex? they're sloooooooooooow
Yeah but it will end up with the correct chapters, from the best translators (multiple options per chapter, pick one and it keeps using it) and not missing pages, broken, or having April Fool's or other garbage stuck on their site permanently.

Except Mangadex's legal cowardice still keeps causing chapters and entire manga to get taken down.
 
Nagatoro's final chapter was a little too subdued for my liking. If I didn't know it was the finale I would've thought it was just another random chapter. I kinda suspect Naoto's worries about not being sure what his plans were for the future was the mangaka's worries about not knowing how he wanted to end it.
 
Nagatoro 154 is out but not on MangaDex yet.

The true epilogue is yet to come, invest in hopecoin.

According to this queer leftist ally that hypocritically thinks anime fans criticizing Megan Thee Stallion are "incel nerds".

And this is the queer soyboy hypocritically calling (you) anime fans incel nerds and losers.

I'll take being an incel nerd over being the type of faggot who takes mirror selfies and defends obese sheboon "artists" on the internet. I can smell the Old Spice body spray from here.
 
I would like some recommendations on 2 things: any satriacle and comedic animes as well as anime that revolve around dragons (Wano arc of One Piece has made me like dragons lol.)
Lastly, why is Hetalia bad? It6 seems like that anime has been tarnished badly. I also can't watch Neptunia because of Chris Chan.

Hetalia isn't bad per se, but it has a bad reputation from attracting really insufferable fans. Specifically, touch-starved GOTIS girls who shamelessly lust over the characters and never shut up about it.

Comedy and satire are going to be extremely subjective but my personal recs are Excel Saga if you're looking for goofy bullshit, Shimoneta if you're going for comedic social commentary. Just stay FAR away from the Shimoneta dub.

For dragons, Record of Lodoss War opens up with your standard D&D party fighting a dragon, and they recur a couple of times iirc. I don't think it ever got an anime but there was a short manga a while back called Legendz that was pretty neat. Also the Bleach spinoff Burn The Witch has a focus on dragons.

Sorry for my ignorance but what does GOTIS stand for/mean?
I mainly find Hetalia appealing because of the historical satire and refferences etc. I tend to avoid shows and games with a bad fanbase which is why I often refuse to play sonic.
Every fanbase contains annoying faggots. Weeb fanbases get exceptionally annoying. Either distance yourself from it and enjoy it on your own or find something really niche

Lodoss War has some seriously cool dragon designs. They're also fucking huge (like Tolkien's Ancalagon, which is likely where they got it). The first one is basically your "standard" castle dungeon dragon... then they get to ones which are Bigger Than The Entire Castle.

100%. The series is goddamn foundational.
 
I gave Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) a watch. I can see how people kind of prefer it over Brotherhood. It's a completely different feel to it, I may not know if the creator even liked it or not seeing how the 2003 anime went a completely different path from how the manga wanted it to go. I don't know if Arakawa even had a hand with it since it feels like they've begun expanding a lot of the characters in it despite some of the filler shit. Like It's nice seeing Hughes in action to really let you know he's capable of getting things done.
The Nina scene now has some fucking weight to it now since we see her around the Elric brothers
edit:also the opening song is better than Yui's Again
 
I find the whole type casting can be in Japanese VA can still be fascinating sometimes. Like the decision for casting Nina Tucker (2009), Sumire Morohoshi was still a kid back then. Only til BNA, she got cast as Michiru, a human girl accidentally turns into Beastman, Very funny Trigger.
Other type casting from her would be mommy's girl type, worst scenario is having a missing or death mom.
At least, she was finally in the same casting group with Romi Park again in Migi and Dali, as Metry and Reiko respectively. And the two characters have a happily ever after ending in a perfect family.
 
I still cant understand how the human animation of Grendizer U looks so stiff and the mecha action is full of details and smooth as fuck.

It is kinda jarring, maybe it is the lack of shades or something. It looks too digital, but it still doesn't make sense when the mecha looks so good even on 2d

I have been recently interested in watching Akatsuki No Yona, has anyone here heard of it and is it any good? Hearing be about a blue dragon makies me think about Kaido from One Piece. I have also been interested in watching hetalia despite its bad fanbase and potential degeneracy.

Update: I have researched both of them and both seem too feminine for my tastes. One is a shojo and the other has an art style that would apeal to females more.
