Taiga's payoff scenes made it pretty worth it and redeemed the stereotypical tsundere behavior earlier on IMO. Don't anger Cake Attack, you'll regret it

ViggyNash posted:Haibane's a show I can appreciate, and I like many elements of it like the music and the art, but I can't bring myself to like the show overall. I felt that the world was far more interesting than the character drama, and it hints at enough mysteries to make me want to learn more about the world, but nothing come of it at the end. I was disappointed by that. If you liked that aspect of the show and would like to know a little about the world (or rather, one that it was at least partially based on), try reading Murakami's Hard Boiled Wonderland At The End of The World (this is a novel mind you, not a manga or anything) It's pretty great, though entirely bizarre, almost scifi, and very very impressionistic rather than concrete about a long of things.

I don't know what anyone else is talking about other than toradora being really good but Sket Dance is one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Super good. Consistently funny, silly and chill, with some pretty crazy bits. I'm on episode 50 out of 70ish, and it's been a great ride so far.

Starting to get a fix for a good shounen. I've heard good things about the latest rendition of Hunter x Hunter. Is it free of filler? Probably the best shounen I've seen is FMA Brotherhood, any particular comparisons to be made?

Hunter x Hunter isn't a tightly plotted story with a defined endpoint like FMA in the first place, but there's no filler original to the show either. Both have excellent character writing for the genre, with the biggest difference being that Ed and Al are very morally driven while Gon is almost like an animal, he's immensely loyal but at the same time almost totally unconcerned with right and wrong.

Chas McGill posted:I really liked the first few episodes of that, but then it became less mundane and thus less funny. Does it get mundane again, or does it just keep escalating until the end of the season? I guess it depends on where it got mundane for you, I think it was pretty funny even through the end. Even while it was getting a little more serious action/tone-wise it never really lost sight of what it was under the skin.

Make sure you watch the dub for that.

Imo, HxH (the recent one) is the pinnacle of shounen show, and what I wish all shounen shows aspired to be like. What I've heard in the thread is that it closely follows the manga, so the majority of what filler there is comes directly from the manga. That said, I didn't feel like there was much filler at all. All of it was at least worth watching. ViggyNash fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Nov 4, 2014 |

It basically has all the strengths of a good shounen show without most of its weaknesses. In my mind, a good shounen show is basically what would result from a child with an incredibly good imagination playing with action figures.

I'm always up for good shounen shows but I don't really want to start another one that doesn't end.

TheEye posted:I don't know much about HxH, but didn't the manga go on indefinite hiatus? And the recent series ended, right? Did it just stop in the middle of the story? The manga recently started again after an extremely long hiatus. The anime ends at roughly the point that the manga originally went on break, which was a natural stopping point and while it isn't the definitive end of the series it resolves the main thread of the plot up till that point.

It ends on a really good point which is a pretty solid ending point that the manga could have ended on. Basically it finishes the main character's plot thread, and the only loose ends are for characters you wouldn't have seen for 60 episodes anyways.

Honestly, I felt that the Chimera Ant arc in HxH kind of dragged in its last third or so. Like there were a lot of episodes for what was less than an hour in plot time, and the episodes seemed to rely more than usual on recap time, especially the one (I think 112?) that had the pre-OP recap three times longer than usual. I also got really annoyed with the narrator explaining everything rather showing, which just dragged everything down ever more. To be fair, a lot of my bitterness could be because of my favorite character getting absolutely no mention for like 80+ episodes despite always being in the OP, and I do think the arc finished up really strong. I like that HxH in general doesn't have any of the standard shounen big bad vs. protagonists beatdowns; it's always either some kind of trickery or constrained by rules or someone else entirely who engages the villain.

It ends on an episode about multi-level marketing. Skip episode 10, it's mundane but also really bad.

Well, he can't be completely lazy since he works as an editor on other Jump manga series. Complete mystery on why he's unable to work on his own series though.

Isn't he the one who had a terrible contract with Jump (or some other publisher), wanted to take some time off or make some kind of decision, they were complete dicks to him, and so he made them take it up the rear end when they wanted to retain him after his contract ended? Did I read that?

Recommend me fun, not too complicated, gory action stuff. Hellsing and JoJo are shining examples. Terra Formars is okay. Gantz is garbo. I'm a Type-Moon encyclopedia, I already love Go Nagai/Ken Ishikawa and I've seen all the famous 80s and 90s OVAs, to get some obvious stuff out of the way. Anime preferred, but I'll take manga recs too.

The manga is absolutely worth tracking down and Last Order isn't "very bad" it's just a significantly more lighthearted and open-ended story than the original run. e: But if you're not convinced then watch Kemonozume like the guy above me suggested.
