mikeycp posted:if i read a comic i don't tend to watch it when it's adapted though For me, it depends on the show and how stacked the season is. If it's a really excellent manga I'm more than happy to go through the story again, especially if it's something like SLF that has multi-chapter action scenes. More middling mangas I'll prefer to read rather than watch, since they're unlikely to get the budget to produce anything really good.

You may prefer the manga to the show. The show is amazing. Don't get me wrong. And it's fantastic to see it get the treatment it deserves. But the manga is REALLY great and reads extremely well. In contrast, the show can be a little slow and spends a huge amount of its runtime explaining things that are a lot more elegant in manga form. Having read both I feel like it's totally ok to read this manga and then go appreciate the anime for its strengths too, because they are both good in different ways.

Mangadex has up through chapter 132 when people stopped fan translating it, and of course there are aggregator sites where people upload the chapters taken from kmanga.

I don't wanna be a pessimist, but i also don't wanna have to hope i haven't forgotten about this series (or just read the manga and spoiled myself) if they announce that it's gonna be 2025 before we get a season 2.

I do hope they get to do more seasons. So many things I'd like to see animated: The 2nd fight with Lycagon Emul's brother Ceecrue and his PC ninja friend and of course, A-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-AMEESE!!!

I could see including Akane in like a season-ending montage. They don't show up in the story quite yet, though this is around when they start canonically playing the game. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I love that Sunraku being such a huge dumbass resulted in an entire episode of hurling his corpse into a meat grinder and it was still good times to watch where a sloppier show would have only turned in "filler" for this. I kept expecting a hotfix to the way the Inventoria worked as the capstone. What we got was so much better.

Anyone here read the web novel, and if so, how do you feel about it? I love the anime but if I'm going back to the source, I would be inclined to go aaaall the way back to the source rather than read the manga.

We definitely nailed the ending by introducing two over-the-top characters in the final episode. And hell yeah, Season 2! Nemo2342 posted:We're partly through 49 right now, and we have 4 episodes left. We've not really cut anything from the manga, and OP shows some of the stuff from chapters 51-53.

We did 58 chapters in 25 episodes, but another 58 chapters would put us 1 chapter into volume 13 and it's kind of an awkward place to stop. Chapter 110 is a good stopping spot if you want to devote all of season 3 to the 3rd arc, though going to 115 will end the volume and give everyone an idea of just what season 3 would be about (for better or for worse). Season 3 is going to be rough though.

New Chapter is out if you know where to look. Rei really is the most absolute BEAST player in the game. She's like a combination of the "Can't stop (Havel) The Rock", "Tarkus is better than you", and Giantdad all rolled into one and it's awesome.

Overcoming physical resistance by powerbombing one guardian into the other guardian's burning corpse sure is one approach to the problem. Collide those big numbers, Rei.
