big fan of beastars here, it rules

Beastars is great, but only up to the halfway point which i assume will be the endpoint of season 2.

After that point, the manga drops in quality when the next big bad shows up and never recovers.

I appreciate beastars for the chapters that were about like, the hen being proud of her eggs. Just going full bore into realizing the world instead of acting like the animals are just humans with bunny ears

hahaha that's cool

I've talked too much about Monster but the only other thing I'll say is that is also the rare show that has an amazing last leg and finale

and mannn the last few minutes of that final episode :stare:

I do not remember the ending of Monster at all but Im straight up shocked someones saying Naoki Urasawa managed to give a story a good ending. Its like his biggest weakness. Maybe I should read it again

It's somewhat open-ended but in a way that totally works for the plot, while providing enough closure for basically everyone

the generic dungeon party (the dwarf, Lizard-Person, and Elf) in goblin slayer seems like that'd have been fun on its own, real shame about the rest of it though!

the wandering inn is a semi-endless web serial that clearly has a lot of anime influences but the goblins in it are pretty based. for some reason i think the misunderstood forest midget kind of goblin is cool, and its rare to find outside of literally like a handful of fantasy books.

The elves are being oppressed because Hitler got there before Nobunaga. This shouldn't be much of a spoiler if you just look at who the author is though.

dungeons and dragons, actually! the old pc RPGs were very popular in japan, and old D&D orcs were pigs

DQ going full 'literally a pig-man, not just sometimes porcine' when it borrowed more D&D/Wizardry monsters was also big. Would've been in 2, so so early it was out there influencing the official JP releases of some of these inspirations, too.

i am weak to the entire isekai subgenre where the isekaied main character introduces liberalism to feudal world tbh. slime & log horizon both are 100% that

log horizon is fascinating because it really delves into what it means that a bunch of mmo players become their characters in a real world, but only in actively boring ways.

pretty much, and then they have to form a functional society mostly from scratch. it has a lot of ideas and plot elements that sound really interesting but then just plain aren't.

The world had PK turned off in cities, and if you died in the game you did not die in real life so killing people had litle conseqence

But a bunch of people realized that they could just block the doorway to prevent people from leaving a building, and thats how they got thier slave labor. Using habbo hotel tactics.

It could have been executed better but i liked the idea.
