I Failed At Anime 2022
Finished Hibike episode 2. Taki-sensei seems sorta bland for now.

There's plenty of stuff simmering under the surface for a slice of life. What the poo poo is going on with Aoi? Does she regret the time she spent with the band? If so, maybe she should have stuck with Asuka.

I love the stupid licensing stuff like that, like the time FASA stole a whole bunch of Macross and Southern Cross designs for Battletech.

They didn't actually. They legitimately bought the rights, but the seller didn't actually have the rights to sell them. So while they were stolen FASA isn't at fault.

Yeah, Taki is probably the most straightforward so he comes off as a bit boring.

Ehhhhh it's really pretty. But that's basically it. There's way more better animes worth watching more. I guess if you really like the director and that visual style, go for it

The Monster manga is incredibly good. I couldn't get into the anime though because the anime is very picky about being exactly the same as the manga, to the point where it might as well have been using the manga to storyboard.

i would care about/like the fujo audience more if it had something to offer beyond bishonen. like Tadokoros and Takeos, or stuff like Ojisan to Marshmallow.

tldr: where are the sausage-bread boys, fujos?

aid is really good though. if someone's in peril it's good to give them aid. The problem comes when several people try to do it at the same time, because then it turns into aids, and no one wants that.

If the anime and manga are exactly the same I'm always gonna go with anime because I like having music and voice acting. And animation.

The thing I'll say baout the anime is that I think introducing the children's books earlier was a good idea. Urasawa is great but he really loves the end of chapter"what" moments. Setting up the children's book in the ED the way the anime does means that when it shows up in the story you're like, "oh, it's the story from the ending!" as opposed to the manga, where it's just baffling and out of nowehre

Same.

As someone who found the manga to be a real page-turner, I found it difficult to have to "Wait" for things to happen or be said.

Similar issues plagued the recent Jojo Part 3 adaptation.

I wish the fujoshit tag was a little cleaner. I was hoping someone was going to make one like that or similar though so I'm glad it was entered.

When we get it I hope they change the IBO thread tag to that.

When I was cleaning my room, I found a old grab bag that I got from a anime con and it had this in it


Which would be so bad if it was for the fact that it does this
