DNT is far from a complete adaptation yet, so you may as well do the original series first

well from the very scant info i can find online from people who've been hit with a 403 error from the site, they never mentioned getting it resolved and have mentioned never getting a response to outreach, and some mention it going on for weeks or more until they eventually stop posting about it lol

there was one mass issue about 4 months back but that's the exception to the rule and the only one viz has ever commented on so i don't think it was a related incident

it doesnt seem common at all

I personally think Rave Master is better than Fairy Tale on most aspects (characters that aren't Gajeel and Ezra, overall plot cohesion, less weird sex stuff, villains that aren't quite so toothless or boringly overpowered, more tense fights, etc.), so even if you didn't like Fairy Tale, you might like Rave Master.

It's not perfect by any means but I enjoyed it greatly when I read it a decade and a half ago and some parts still hold up even on a reread now.

Rave Master is a lot tamer compared to Mashima’s other works, yeah. Out of curiosity though, is there a particular reason why the anime was never finished?

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Most anime never finish the manga story. Traditionally they would go for 26 or 52 episodes or so and then either make up an ending or just go "the adventure continues". IE: the 1st FMA anime versus the 2nd. More recently it's common to split them up into smaller seasons and only continue it if it seem profitable though, most likely because investing in 52 episodes that might flop is seen as too risky these days.

I guess what I'm saying is that it's an older anime so a continuation was never expected in the first place.

True, the only older anime I remember actually going back and finishing the manga story later was Inuyasha (though Urusei Yatsura did do a movie adaptation of the final arc).

Though some of the bigger shows like Dragon Ball and Naruto did manage to make it all the way through their respective manga.

That's weird, HTTP 403 is typically for stuff that's not permitted on a per-user level, but if you're getting it anywhere it seems like it's something else that's causing it?

Have you tried emailing webmaster@viz.com? It might not be a mailbox that's monitored (webmaster@, postmaster@ and abuse@ often aren't because of spam, even though they're supposed to be), but it's the best idea I can come up with.

Not sure if this is the right thread but does anyone know an anime where there's a guy who has to fight people in his school and there's a character that looks like a tiny old woman by she can transform into a tall young woman and I think she's training him. Watched it years ago but can't remember the name or search for it

You might be thinking of tenjou tenge, though she's not an old woman just a small girl who turns big.

Dealt with something similar over the past year and change. My sympathies--with covid and stressing about your immediate circle, getting two deaths in relatively short order just numbs you. Obviously this stuff is out of any one person's control, but drat it is frustrating.

It's the kind of subversion you'd see in a black comedy.

only 7 episodes left on sakura quest. the professor :(

i also watched the first episodes of mieruko-chan and listeners on a lark. listeners i actually.... it doesn't actually seem terrible, but i am extremely biased against CG mecha and also the character designs are a bit odd. it's got that thing where non-major characters look like they're by a completely different artist than the main characters. and they didn't seem composited against the backgrounds super great

mieruko-chan actually kind of decent except for the horniness. i guess it's meant to be a pure comedy but i'd be interested in a take on this that is more serious and not horny

anyway i got to prune my queue down which is always good except that i added bisque doll, scrapped princess and blue reflection, so it actually got longer lol

far as I can tell the prevailing assumption right now is that the game will be taking place after the Mizuki route which means it technically won't spoil anything in the true route.
