Hi there! Here you can talk about all those animes without threads of their own yet. Use all your deductive powers in order to decide whether or not your post needs a spoiler tag.

Here I go! I've been watching Fairy Tail lately and I've realized that it's a fairly nice anime. Nice in the way that it has no blood, no deaths and so on. I've come to accept all that. Even when an attack destroys a mountain but leave the target with little more than scratches. Even when Gray grabs the edge of a sword with his bare hand without cutting himself. However this is unforgivable!

Spoiler for Edolas arc:

Spoiler: Highlight to view
There is one death in Fairy Tail. A death with meaning. It changed people, it left Natsu with a hole in his heart. I'm talking about the death of Lisanna. this would be all good if it wasn't for the fact that she didn't die. She just disappeared. Meaningful deaths lose their meaning if they lose their death.

EDIT: I hate it more than the "it was just a dream"-ending.

well... i guess you could argue that it would be no different than;

Spoiler for the Post-War arc in One Piece:

Spoiler: Highlight to view
If it turns out that Sabo survived his "death", which I still believe that he did.

but I catch your drift and can see why it'd upset you... the reason i may NOT be upset by it could be that i'm kind of a Fairy Tail-fanboy =3

but awesome idea for a thread, it can be used to discuss all of the new animes that obviously won't get individual threads...

speaking of which, first ep of Guilty Crown was awesome, eh? at least in production value, still need to see some more before judging the story and characters i think...

Oh god I hated that so much. How does her not dieing impact the story at all? She's not that great of a character and nothing about her apparent death made any sense. Like, there were twins for every other character in that world, but not her? And how the hell did she even get sent there in the first place. I am not happy with a lot of the story in Fairy Tail.

There weren't counterparts for a lot of characters, like Makarov, because they had already died in Edolas. IIRC, the Earthland-Lisanna was sucked through the Anima at about the same time that the Edolas-Lisanna died... how that happened, I have no idea, but I'm guessing it has something to do with Mystogan having a hard time keeping the Anima under control... not sure though, can't remember an explanation...

I think the Anima she got sucked into was something like.
EdoKing: someone is closing our Animas, what should we do?
EdoErza: Make a super big Anima!
PantherLily: No, make many small Animas at once.
EdoKing: I like Lily's idea better, lets do that!

well, from the winter season i'll check out Kyousogiga, Another, New Prince of Tennis and BRS and that's it so far...

Un-Go was... interesting, i guess? i loved the main characters and i'll definitely follow it ^^

Guilty Crown was pretty awesome, though it may be lacking in some parts...

I wondered what happened to that manga. This is nice.

Just so we're clear: the chair game was the last one before the hiatus, right?

Anyone watching Ben-to btw? It seems to have mixed reactions o.< Moesucks and scamp threw it away quite fast, but the dude 2-d teleidoscope recently had a talk with seems to like it...

So people, what do you think? :o

Anybody have an opinion if the new Hunter x Hunter anime is good? :D I haven't watched the original, but people are saying that it kinda should be watched before trying the remade version xD But if I just start straight from the new one, will I miss a lot of stuff...? :P

Edit: Just now noticed that there's a Hunter x Hunter thread :/ But this isn't discussion about the series so maybe this is fine here.

(this is manga-related but i guess this thread can support both manga and anime, yesh?)

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=374361
The top three male mangaka are the creators of the three manga i probably love the most (one piece, vagabond and 20th century boys) so that's awesome~

also, go Oda ^^

i don't think so, but as far as i understood, this ranking is based off of the votes of a lot of people, including bookstore keepers and book reviewers... so i don't think you have to have released anything lately... i mean, akira toriyama is also on the list...

Ah yeah, I didn't look past his name haha. Well that's awesome ^___________^

Speaking of him btw, have you read/watched Monster? I started watching the anime but I was so disappointed :(

i watched it before i read 20th century boys, and although it's not nearly as good as 20th, i really liked it.

actually, i began watching monster a looong time ago, then i dropped it, then i picked it back up and i loved it the second time around... it really gets intense at times...

I just felt that like from the point where he runs away and onwards.. It all just feels like fillers. I wonder if the manga's the same.

it does feel that way, which is why i dropped it... but when johan makes his return around episode 25, it really takes a turn for the better... i remember marathon-ing through the last half of the series... talking about it makes me wanna watch the last half of the show again~

But I watched til like.. 30 something :P And I still thought it was terrible :P But I've considered skipping til like.. ~50 or something and see if it's better there xD

nooooo, you don't skip!

but i guess if you watched 'till ep 30 and still wasn't interested, it's just not you?

there's a lot of good stories which i'm pretty sure you've seen by now then... like the one with Dieter (i think his name was) and the guy who wants to burn the turkish district (again, i think that's how it was)... and if Johan's return didn't get you, i don't think the rest of the anime will =/

johan is awesomely creepy~

Monster was great! Took me a long time to watch it all (XD; ) but it was amazing.
The end, pwn.
