I haven't watched any slayers in years, I should remedy that, cause it's the best.

Also, Lina is a nukular weapon and Hayashibara is simply the best.

Every now and then I remember that Grimgar anime, and how I wanted more after it was over. Then I'm told about some of the later events in the novels and I reconsider.

Think I might go digging around and watch some old Slayers episodes to scratch that itch, even if it isn't quite the same thing.:v:

I liked Rayearth if you haven't seen it or read the manga. Only the first series is good though.

what the gently caress? i was enjoying binging through an entire manga in one night and the 4th was looking like it might be the end of the series.

No the 4th volume isn't out yet, though a few magazine chapters that will eventually be in the 4th volume have been published already.

My older sister was the one who really got me into anime when I was younger, and that meant watching a lot of stuff I normally wouldn't have (at that age, anyway). Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Rayearth, a lot of shojo stuff in general. And yeah.....that second series was....uhhhhhhhhhhh.

i really just love this whole mess of romantic interests he's caused at this point and i think i'd even be satisfied if the guy, Miyami I think his name was, won in the end.

but yeah, botan is the best.

i really have to respect this guy's commitment. and the whole "Oh, you're a lesbian, I get it now. I'll just have to become more feminine." makes me really excited for the next time he shows up.

but i'm mostly shocked he actually got a positive reaction out of itsuki here, even if he didn't realize it. gives me the impression he actually has something of a shot :v:

my hope is the main guy and him get together, the one girl realizes she's a lesbian and they all hang out in Nichome with the older sister

i don't dare hope for that. i've seen the way these things go and hoping for such a perfect ending will only lead to disappointment

also the current cliffhanger is too much for me

the cliffhanger hurts me because botan is a good and i don't want her to get hurt. the way the author's note ended volume 3 really gives the impression that 4 will be the end though.

It does now occur to me that the guy's right ear is pierced, which, while not necessarily true, is sort of considered the "I'm gay" piercing for men in Japan.

why do the series thumbnails on batoto always use the most recent volume? sometimes there's spoilers on them too so like wouldn't you want to have someone's first view of the series be the cover of volume 1?

Plot twist halfway through is that one of the enemy armies is just a bunch of tanks and planes and it becomes Fire Emblem vs Advance War Musou

it's just common sense. the first volume's cover is the one meant to grab new readers anyway. the covers of later volumes are more to keep people who are already reading going "oh i better buy this one too, i gotta know what happens next" which is not an effect that works on new readers most of the time

Agreed. And the "welp I just spoiled myself by looking up this series on mangaupdates" or whatever doesn't help.

it's the gay piercing here too though I think that particular signing is sort of out dated

e: in that people pierce it to indicate they're gay but also people pierce whatever ear they want who cares
