The ~dere Thread; but mostly the tsun (& never the yan) (w/some anime) CHECK 1st POST

i just finished both seasons of higurashi no naku koro ni

loved it

 

[Minato]

My parents don't have any problems with me and anime.
But I don't even buy that much anime-related stuff anyway. Mostly it's just manga, but we have plenty of US comic books too.

Nice. I feel like rewatching that someday (but not anytime in the near future. Too soon).

 

[Rubyiris]

higurashi bored me.

 

[G U R U]

My parents are pretty laid back. As long as it's not Drugs/Smoking/Alcohol they're fine with it.

I'm gonna marathon the last 10 eps of Durarara today ^_^

 

[Lythium]

If you buy anime/manga, I'm sure it's more expensive than alcohol and drugs anyway.

K-On manga? Buy? Y/N.

Also, started reading Yotsubato. It's so funny. :3c

This is true, lol.
I spent almost $300 on manga in the last month and a half alone. >_> I still don't know what I was thinking.

Since K-ON has really no story and would just be a less moe-moe kyun version of the show I'm gonna say no. Just my opinion.

However if you're reading Yotsubato then you clearly have no interest in story so you might like it ~ahaha.

I'd say buy it if you liked the anime. There are quite a bit of stories the anime didn't cover. Since this manga focuses more on jokes rather than being moe, that's another good thing. Plus, there's only 4 volumes that will be released. So it's only like 40 dollars for the whole thing once it's out.

This is true, lol.

300 within almost 2 months? Wow, I've never spent that much in such a short time.

I swear, VietGeek's posts are almost as random as Deadpool. XD

 

[-Rei-]

the manga is not worth it imo

 

[asianaussie]

k-on manga is better than the anime

there i said it

 

[Death Arcana]

that can be said for a lot of series

 

[-Rei-]

i agree on that so much

 

[asianaussie]

on that note, i found the death note anime unwatchable while the manga was gripping and excellent, while everyone else i know said the anime was incredibly good

opinions here?

 

[Minato]

there i said it

Yeah, I agree. Same goes for Lucky Star too. 4 komas are usually best left as they are, it seems like.

Uh oh. Let's not start this discussion again lol.

EDIT: I actually thought the manga and anime to Death Note were close. The manga felt like it dragged at some times but the same goes for the anime, so I dunno. I did like the anime ending though. What the manga definitely has over the anime is the art, obviously.

 

[-Rei-]

my view for the ending of death note was that the manga

Spoiler

made light die like a dog

while the anime

Spoiler

some glorified his death

both were good imo

i just depended if you were a

light

fan

 

[Lythium]

I agree with you there, Rei.

I like how they handled

Spoiler

Mikami's death

at the end of Death Note.

Spoiler

It fit with his obsessive ideologies better.

Everything else was more or less the same.

 

[Sion]

i wonder why i can't help but read spoilers

What manga did you get?

I just bought a ton of volumes of Higurashi, Shakugan no Shana, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Negima. >_>

I've never really gotten into Death Note. I watched the first episode of the anime, then quit...

 

[Zwarm]

Yay Higurashi and Shana.

So I've decided to give Lucky Star another shot. What am I getting myself into...

pretty sure lucky star is the antithesis of anything with a plot or drama

 

[Zwarm]

I know, and I hated it the first time around, so I don't know why I'm even going back, but I keep hearing it gets better past where I was, so I guess I'm just hopeful.

 

[Minato]

I need to buy the FMA and Negima manga. FMA, I'll definitely buy soon though.
I haven't checked out the manga for Higurashi. I need to.

And I think Viz aren't going to release anymore of the manga for Shana sadly.

 

[Rubyiris]

Yay Higurashi and Shana.

So I've decided to give Lucky Star another shot. What am I getting myself into...

Lucky Star is awesome. Just skip episode 1 since its awful.

Or he could be smart and read the manga.

Manga is much better at conveying story than anime.

I don't think I could agree much more. As long as you're not speedreading manga and take time to appreciate the art (thanks bakuman), a lot more can be seen than in anime, which, while incorporating motion, etc, loses a lot of the artist's original intention with the art.

Death Note in particular is in this category - it has great art, and if you're watching subs (or even raws), your attention won't be focused on said art. While people may prefer manga because it takes less time to read, I'd definitely argue that, in terms of storytelling and depth, manga matches up very well to anime.

Does anyone know a set date for when Kizumonogatari is supposed to start?

I haven't heard anything on it for the Spring lineup. So at best, it might air during Summer.

Finished Durarara. Very good anime. Had me guessing till the end.

New eps of Gosick and Madoka were great. Anyone else watching them at the moment?

I'm watching both of those series, but I've been behind on anime lately.
There's been so much homework that I'm weeks behind on Index even.

 

[Zwarm]

My name on here is Zwarm now, if the OP can be updated.

Finally started Umineko last night, the first episode was pretty legit, I think I'm gonna like it. I'll have to watch a few more to decide though.

i'm watching gosick but not medoka atm

Fixed!

And I heard from multiple people that the Umineko anime gets bad after a few episodes. I guess we'll see how you like it.


So, I've been working on making my computer's sounds theme, making it all Yuki-fied (like how the Nanami theme is, but less high-pitch & borderline annoying). I pretty much have it finished, aside from one line that I want to have but can't get an audio file for that doesn't have background music/noise playing, and that is "kyoka" (permission).
I'm also using the interactive Haruhi DTA Mascot (the "Mode Change" video in the Suggestions list might be spoiler-ish if you haven't seen the movie/read the 4th light novel), as well as the clock that goes with it (which one of the characters announces the time every hour), among other stuff as well.

 

[Zwarm]

That's a pretty legit setup, not gonna lie.

I still haven't gotten back to Umineko yet, been too busy playing Super Loli Fighter 3 aka Arcana Heart 3. Soooo fun.
