Jesus, the cover for Volume 6 is cool/scary as gently caress.

Reminds me of Junji Itou.

I meant to say take him out of the cage just for the action scenes in the original post, but that got cut for some reason, but yeah, that's what I meant.

Second to last episode Deku wins the tournament and then All Might jumps in the middle of the stage.

All Might, "Good work my boy! It seems I've finally found someone strong enough to kill me!"

The original ending to FMA was almost universally considered a mistake, I thought.

BBB is in my backlog. Should I read the manga instead?

Soul Eater and Ouran were bad to begin with though

If you must blink, do it now.
FMA was kind of a different beast since it was a very theme-laden, plot-heavy show that required closure but of course Arakawa wasn't gonna spill the beans early.

BBB had the opposite problem where none of its stories were really interrelated, nor did the source material appear to be building up to anything. Similarly, the core cast was (by design) very static. Injecting an anime-only overarching plot and ending wasn't an unnatural step, but the nature of the beast really prevented any sort of meaningful climax.

Ouran's ending was good and the anime as a whole turned out better than the manga, IMO. Haven't seen Soul Eater.

For now I'd advise on waiting to learn more.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Soul Eater's anime ending was decent enough albeit kind of cheesy and underwhelming, but unfortunately basically right at the point it splits off, the manga starts going nuts and gets really cool.

Trigun does pretty well with its anime original stuff, though I haven't read the manga yet so I don't know how they compare.

It was Bones.

A rumor was posted on 2ch about ~2 weeks ago that Bones was doing this show, with Kenji Nagasaki directing and Umakoshi doing character designs. Take that as you will but that key visual art is definitely in line with Umakoshi's style. If its true that's pretty great staff for a series like this.

Honestly I thought the Soul Eater manga's ending was pretty lame. Mostly I'm just salty about how Medusa ended up, though.

Bones is fine, because it's not Toei or Pierrot.

I'm one of like 10 people who thought the original FMA anime was largely better than the manga because the manga literally reads like a lovely JRPG in the last 1/3rd. The ending was the most what-in-the-gently caress-am-I-looking-at curveball I've seen basically ever but I snore at the ending of the manga and brotherhood.

The best thing to come out of this will be all of the "bad original anime ending" theories.

All For One shows up at the end, revealing that he seeded the earth with quirks and tried to take over to unify and prepare us for the alien invasion that was coming- the anime ends with their spaceships entering our atmosphere.

As a gift to Zepia

Anime is much darker for no apparent reason. Shigaraki actually kills Tsuyu during the USJ attack, and there's like 2 full episodes dedicated to a story JUST for Ingenium building him up to when Stain brutally kills him instead of just crippling him. The ending has All For One come out of absolutely nowhere- Todoroki loses an eye, the entire villain alliance dies, All Might and Midoriya die but in an anime-only contrivance the "souls" of the people in One For All can sacrifice themselves to revive the true owner and All Might's sacrifices itself to revive him.

:iamafag:

Seems pretty Bonesy to me.

I suppose we have to hope that the approach with the adaptation will be that of a seasonal adaptation - ie, that it won't need or try to come up with its own ending because that won't be the point.

Though if they do then I expect All Might to actually be the villain, having injured himself to provide a convincing excuse when he started grooming Deku so that he can take over the boy's body and become even more powerful than he already is.

While I really enjoyed all of the FMA manga, he's kind of correct about it getting into pretty JRPG-ish territory in the latter parts. I happen to enjoy that sort of over the top plot, but I can understand why someone wouldn't.

The original anime ending was such a trainwreck that nothing really comes close

Probably one my most hated endings to an anime/manga outside of usagi drop

As if the crawling in my skin stuff in the original anime was any better though. And then they made a movie based on that ending rather than anything to do with the manga, and that movie was baaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

I found it kinda ridiculously saccharine myself. Everyone hooks up with everyone else and has kids and lives happily ever after, Ed and Al's dad animedies kneeling at his wife's grave, and Ed is wistful for about 3 seconds about not being magic anymore.

Also the Israel/Palestine conflict of the series kinda just resolves itself as a comic misunderstanding.
