So should I or should I not pick up the Usagi Drop manga? Do they pull a Clannad after story-esque bait and switch? I read through all of the available Sweetness and Lightning manga, which was great.

It's a stupid conversation to have (re: Usagi Drop) because people will dance around the issue (or not) but basically the story takes a direction at the end of the manga that is extremely off putting and for a lot of people ruins everything that came before it. So the sage advice might be that if you enjoyed what you watched of the anime don't let that get ruined for you.

Hmm, thanks for the explanation of that. I think I'll let this one drop and not sully what I dug about the story in the anime. Well, I'm looking for more stuff (preferably stuff that's already finished) to watch. Any recommendations for good comedy? I like nichijou, cromartie high, Sakomoto desu ga , that sort of stuff.

Joshiraku and Yuru Yuri (first two seasons, mainly) are both very funny shows.

The Colonel posted:the third season of yuru yuri is also funny I didn't like it nearly as much because it abandoned a lot of the madcap nature that made the first two seasons so fun, and started including lengthy pleasant-slice-of-life segments that brought the midsection of every episode to a screeching halt. It's okay but I rarely found it as uproariously hilarious as the first two.

I read through all of the available Sweetness and Lightning manga, which was great. I have literally never gotten more mad at a piece of media as I did at the final arc of usagi drop. It retroactively ruins everything that came before it which is an impressive feat. As for recommendations of funny stuff, while it's not primarily a comedy series(more of a historical fantasy drama with a fair amount of comical bits), the banter and antics between the main crew in anatsuki no yona is some top notch comedy stuff. It helps that the rest of it is incredibly well written too.

I can not believe the writer thought that was a remotely good idea. That series you mentioned looks pretty cool, I really dig fantasy/drama/sci-fi stuff if it's well written

Mederlock posted:I went and read some spoilers about it and I have been binging Yona and it's kind of an incredible historical fantasy romance/drama/comedy, combining all aspects of the three in such a satisfying way that I don't think there's been a single genuinely bad chapter I've read in the 105 or so chapters I'm currently through. The story progresses at an indomitable pace, the characters evolve gradually at an almost unnoticed rate over time which really feels natural, the drama is loving dark for a shojo series, the violence is incredibly gruesome at points and very unforgiving, and the comedy is so well-timed despite often being mere pages away from something really awful happening that it successfully pushes the often hopeless feelings during the more bleak parts of the series out without diminishing the gravity of the situation most of the time. Also, the mascot critter is loving awesome and has a ton of character despite mostly being in the background. It's good. Dunno how the anime is but the manga is generally very beautiful, though I'm not that big a fan of the super shojo-styled male characters. The author does some amazing goofy faces too.

Uhhhhhh, so I guess that was the end of the Evangelion show. What's a good article to explain the what and why of whatever I just watched? Not necessarily some wiki explainer - something more general about the history of the show, too, perhaps? And this was with the Director's Cut. Eh, I'll check out End of Evangelion and see if helps make sense of things. Are those 1.11, 2.22, 3.33 versions just cute names for the Blu-ray movies or something else entirely?

EoE explains some things and makes the rest worse. They're just cute names apart from the first one which was 1.0 in the cinema and became 1.11 for the home release because it had some extra bits. The others just kept the naming convention.

For comedy, I still always recommend Yondemasuyo, Azazel-san. As for good dubs, everything I know has already been mentioned. That said, I still have a soft spot for the Ghost Stories dub.

Caught up with yona, I can confirm it is 125 chapters (as of this post) of nonstop quality readin' and in monthly format too so the chapters are extra long.

I assume you're all not mentioning Cowboy Bebop's dub because it's so good it didn't need mentioning?  AlternateNu posted:PSWG is one of only four shows I feel are better with the English dub. It is basically an Adult Swim show that just happened to be written and animated in Japan. The Japanese dub gets away with half it's own poo poo by skirting the regulations through putting the more... colourful... lines in english, along with a lot of text. The Japanese version is downright polite compared to the English dub. Japanese https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9z9IQ14CSY&t=30s English https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfmv7ZBpbAI

akatsuki no yona surprises me less that it exists, and more that its the only show in existence with fantasy korea. the only other im aware of with sorta fantasy korea is seirei no morobito, and thats more panasian. theres a shitload of cultural contact between korea and japan, and there are a shitload of korean names in credits, but it goes totally ignored in anime
