Carlosologist posted:it seems to me that AFO’s plan so far has been to break Midoriya’s will by breaking everything and letting him deal with the flood of villains and vigilantes until he couldn’t keep going. He’s only sent Nagant and two other assassins his way, so I imagine that he’s not gonna really rev up the pressure until he gets bored of waiting around. He’s still got Shigaraki’s crispy body to perfect with no Doc around so I can’t really see a massive escalation yet I assumed AfO just talked to a random assortment of escapees during the prison breaks and said "hey, i'll reward you if you capture this kid for me" and then let them loose, so there could be an indefinite number of assassins lurking out there operating independently. So he's not really sending assassins so much as they happen to find Deku when they happen to find Deku.

UA is for sure going to be a giant mecha and I cannot wait. I hope we get a SDF: Macross sequence of everyone inside as it transforms

Maybe MHA itself is the real social experiment and Horikoshi is trying to get an A in his Sociology class by writing it and observing the fanbase.

I feel like Attack on Titan is the better "social experiment to see how worked up fans can get about things" project then, can only award Horikoshi a B.

It feels a bit weird to look at someone trolling and going "How... how strange and mysterious this beast is. Who would do that, just go onto the internet and lie" when it's like a basic form of discourse on these forums.

A manga making GBS threads the bed at the end, clearly unintentionally, isn't a "social experiment" people need to stop thinking everything controversial creators do is targeted at pissing off people because I guarantee you most people who write fiction for a living are not going "heh yeah gently caress those fans" when they work on their projects

Blockhouse posted:A manga making GBS threads the bed at the end, clearly unintentionally, isn't a "social experiment" What? Are you saying that when someone writes something I don't like in a piece of fiction it's not aimed directly at me to mock me for ever caring in anything ever and a direct threat to me that I must respond to in kind. I think you should take part in reality more

Endless Eight happened because the arc they were going to do got greenlit for a movie and they needed to replace it somehow. Attack on Titan’s ending was carefully, painstakingly sculpted to be as awful as possible

TheKingofSprings posted:Endless Eight happened because the arc they were going to do got greenlit for a movie and they needed to replace it somehow. They still could have made it less than 8 episodes long (since I believe in the book version the characters go through maybe 2 or 3 loops that we see before figuring it out) as there were still plenty of other stories they could have adapted in its place. Speaking of, I really want a Haruhi Season 3 one day but since there isn’t much in the way of new books to promote at the moment I doubt it’ll happen any time soon. Also on my personal wishlist: -A Vigilantes anime -A third season of Gatchaman CROWDS -A new Slayers series (the novels started up again recently and some of the VAs lent their talents to a mobile game event I forget the name of) -A Soul Eater reboot that actually follows the manga this time.

It ended badly but the remaining 95% or so is pretty good from what I recall There’s also the prequel Soul Eater NOT which is pretty much more of the same only with awkward teenage lesbians as the main characters (it’s also a bit hornier in the fanservice department but decent enough story wise) Larryb fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Aug 11, 2021 |

Beef Jerky Robot posted:Is Soul Eater considered bad? I thought it was pretty cool. soul eater is extremely good for like 90% of its run, but it looks like it got the wrap-it-up treatment where a bunch of plot threads and arcs fizzled into anticlimax, and the final chapter is mostly comprised of boob jokes still a lot better than how a lot of long-running manga ended up. if you want a full-scale creative meltdown then you can just look at the aforementioned AoT, or bleach, or beastars

Soul Eater is a series that meant the world to me for the first 2/3rds or so of its run and then kind of completely dropped off my radar after that, which is a bummer. Anime OST slapped though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pILNuyAnEzo

Yeah, Soul Eater is very good except for the ending. Even that anime original ending, which is overall not great, still had some really good parts, like the Death City robot.
