ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:I really enjoyed Toaru at first (I own the entire first season and like 2 or 3 of the second season in Korean) and read it religiously whenever Baka-Tsuki updated it, but now I just find it so uninspiring and bland. An evil character tries to destroy the world, causes a ton of trouble for everyone, then Touma punches them in the face and redeems them. Also Touma is all about telling people they should feel free to ask him for help but keeps balking when Misaka tries to do so. But, the last volume was Mikoto-centric.

homeless snail posted:well okay, I do like idris elba, but now I have exhausted the totality of good british shows I don't watch too many British shows because I have a surprisingly hard time with the accents which makes fully comprehending everything a nightmare. Luther is really loving good though and I would go gay for Idris Elba

Reds posted:One of these days I'll clear the first 20 episodes hurdle of Gintama. You can technically skip the first 2 since they're not actually chapter 1. I watched them after watching a bunch of Gintama, and I felt the jokes hit better now that I knew who everyone was and how they related to each other.

A few years back, I remember people saying that 1935-A and B had a really good story and it wasn't translated into English so I bought the Korean translation of A and my eyes just glazed over. I do hope one of the books explains what is up with... Fermet? Whatever his name was.

Fermet is pretty cool but he kinda gets explained over a bunch of the books, and I can see why 1935 would be really confusing for people who just watched the anime because it includes so much stuff from pretty every book released before hand. 1933 is one of my favourite's and it's pretty much set right after the anime so it was easy to get into. Though it heavily features a character the show didn't include so that might be a tough start as well.

Oh, no, I did keep up with Baccano via whatever got translated into English by Baka-Tsuki and other translators online. I was just at a stage where I was getting tired and disillusioned with light novels, but going from reading Baccano in English to reading it in Korea was just a major shift. In the case of Rokka, I started off with the Korean light novel so I had no trouble blazing through the books. Still haven't finished volume 5 though.

I love that Elmer's thing is being so cheery that even Fermet doesn't want to absorb him. I'm not too fond of Fermet cause I don't like antagonists that always get away though. Also not too fond of the past chapters. The 1920s are probably my favorite ones.

Davincie posted:im starting to feel like i jumped into the wrong train but im just gonna see where this takes me One of the main characters of the series, a girl whose name I can't remember, develops a precocious crush on her teacher. Well, whatever, that happens sometimes I guess. Except the teacher encourages it, takes advantage of her, and coerces her into having sex with him. He also introduces her to his friends and blackmails her into having sex with them, which (IIRC) he records as further blackmail material - by this point rather implicitly indicating he does this sort of thing all the time and possibly has several girls he treats like this. Eventually our girl finds out she's pregnant, to which her teacher assures her he'll arrange (and film, of course) the abortion with some black market doctor he knows. All of this is stuff that has happened before the start of the series proper, and is revealed in flashbacks. The series begins with a group of children being given control over a robot that will fight for their world's future. Each of them gets one turn to control it, and dies afterwards regardless of whether or not they win. Sure enough, the girl's turn comes up, and she uses her power to hunt down and kill all the men who took advantage of her (causing massive civilian casualties of course since she's using a weapon of mass destruction to lash out in their general directions) except for the teacher who she can't kill because...when she finds him it turns out he's her older sister's mysterious boyfriend she was keeping a surprise and her older sister tries to protect him. The girl can't bring herself to attack her older sister and dies shortly thereafter. Later on one of the other main characters, a boy, gets into a conversation with the teacher, the upshot of which is he doesn't feel bad about any of it and is frankly relieved the girl is dead and will probably continue to do stuff like this in the future. So the boy stabs him, only to be restrained as the teacher is put under protective custody since he just got attacked in the park. Not that it would in any way mitigate any of this, but it's also worth noting that the teacher is never at any point shown to have any redeeming qualities whatsoever aside from probably being very good at his teaching job. He isn't even sad that his friends were killed and, as far as I remember, is implied to still be dating the girl's older sister who knows nothing about any of this. Bokurano is a series I read back when I was of the mindset that I should finish everything I start, and is probably one of the reasons I no longer hold that mindset. I still remember plenty of details about it, including this whole bit out of sheer hatred for the teacher.

I like Elmer because he is the nicest dude and only wants people to smile but basically anyone who knows the guy considers him to be the most evil person in the world. Also, I like the 1700s because Elmer gets a lot of focus in them and Esperanza is cool.

I feel like Kitoh is probably one of those authors who when you ask him "Don't you think your stories are a bit dark?" responds with some nonsense like "Life is dark."

I wouldn't say he's nice, at least from the (limited) books that I've read? Like, doesn't Elmer himself admit that it's a self-satisfaction on his part? Like, it's less about goodness or people being happy, it's just a self-serving desire that he has irrelevant to morality?

But yeah, he is basically the most selfish person in existence and only cares about getting what he wants. Which is why I like him. He's a weird character, but Narita does weird very well.

That one with the magic god was probably the best of NT. A lot of people are obsessed with her too now, even though she's just a little fairy that freeloads at his apartment with Index. I also really enjoyed the volume where Touma/Misaka go to America and meet the president who is Rider from Fate/Zero

I remember really not liking Index very much. Accelerator books were always my favorite cause his stories just seemed more fun than Touma's. Probably because I prefer espers to magicians.

I don't remember the Gandors. I know there's the oldest, who I think is Keith. He doesn't talk much. Mexican sword chick is enamored with him. Then there's the middle guy, who's the big one. And then there's... Lucky? The softy? Or was Lucky the barber / torturer?
