Yeah the anime for Wave is mostly identical to the manga. Both are great imo. Solid comedy / slice of life.

dipwood posted:Any recommendations for manga like The Fable or GTO? With a focus more on adults than students, good comedy, Real Jobs, etc. If you liked The Fable you might enjoy Way of The House Husband. It has a similar premise, and you don't even have to worry about missing out on the anime, since the adaptation was... divisive, let's say. There's also Sakamoto Days which has a similar-ish premise, though I think that one's more of a straight-up action comedy (haven't read much of it). For a bit of a long shot, maybe try Uramichi Oniisan, which has a very different setting (children's show host is secretly a hopeless doomer) but a similar kind of "Character is expected to do Thing but their personality and/or skillset are Very Different Thing" humor. It's much more of a gag manga than an following an overarching plot, though. There's also plenty of comedy+adults+jobs in the romance genre, if you want to check that out. Smoking behind the supermarket is nice and chill, and 365 days to the wedding has a lot of adults coping with their crummy jobs, though the overall tone for that one might be a bit too saccharine compared to the series you mentioned. If you don't mind the story getting kind of heavy, ODDTAXI's pretty great. That one's an anime original, though. grate deceiver posted:It's not very comedic, but Jin has the hypercompetent character dropped into everyday life, it's about adults with real jobs and real lifes, and it's super good. Jin loving rules, but outside of also being a fish-out-of-water story I can't see it being a particularly good fit in a similar vein to Fable or GTO, particularly since the premise (modern-day surgeon is timewarped to the late Edo period) is pretty much played 100% straight. For an isekai-adjacent that more closely fits, I'd suggest Therma Romae (ancient roman engineer keeps getting warped to modern-day Japan and keeps losing his poo poo over Japanese bath culture), since it's much more comedy-focused. Therma Romae has two anime adaptations, the first one's pretty lousy and you're not missing anything by skipping it, the second one's on Netflix and adds a few original arcs.

I think one thing that helps it work is that it establishes a clear upper limit of how magical things can get. Ise-no-Kami was the ultimate exemplar of skill overriding physical ability, and he also demonstrated how that's a (literal) self-defeating proposition. Everyone else is going to have to figure out how to take his lessons on board in a more limited, realistic, and practical way.

I'm going to treat this fight the same way I treated Adam vs Zeus in Shuumatsu no Valkyrie. Other characters will do crazy stuff but nobody is really going to match a severely aged man regressing to his teens and then aging to being a prune again.

I got recommended The Island of Giant Insects by a friend talking about horror manga. I looked it up out of curiosity and ended up doing a short dive into the manga and lol what the gently caress did I even start reading. Someone's completely unrestrained fetish crossed with elaborate science lessons on insects. I am not taking recommendations from my friend anymore.

Brought To You By posted:Enough said. a nonstop parade of people betraying the one person who knows how to survive that situation and the class bicycle became the most endearing charhacter. Such a weird and trashy series. So I take it the near constant sexual harassment doesn't let up, then. I made it to the point where a giant wasp came put of nowhere and then the main girl started talking about how her bestie was going to be eaten alive by larvae before I put it down because the artwork was getting ridiculous.

No it doesn't. It is very much a trashy and exploitative series from start to finish, with a sequel I won't touch. Some group really liked the idea of bugs murdering people in horrible and sometimes horny ways with a cast of mostly selfish characters and followed through with it. Somehow there exists a story involving insects less egregious than Terra Formars and it baffles me.

I mean I've seen my share of trashy budget horror movies that rely on sex to make up for a lack of substance. This felt like the author said "what if we did High School of the Dead but EVERYONE including the wildlife is a rapist?" This poo poo is still ongoing? Good lord.

Ugh you guys made me morbidly curious about this awful manga and I went to go look it up. It really is like High School of the Dead except instead of gun porn like most zombie series have, it's more about like camping/emergency equipment porn. I went through it fast because it's pretty gross and I just jumped around to the end after what I believe the original series/part was over. General recap of it all: Airplane with high schoolers downed by mutant dragonflies and a bunch of them wash up on an island miraculously. Main girl is some big entomology lover and basically gets everyone out of every jam they encounter on this island of mutant big insects that kill people. All the disgusting rapey poo poo is from bugs tearing off the clothes of women as they try or do kill them, or like 90% of the men in the series are a rapist that threatens or gains control of leadership through sexual assault. Half the time the girls just comply to survive or turn out to like it, while the other half they get rescued only after some assault already occurred. They escape the island to another two islands that basically have the same problem. Original series ended with them escaping the first island, sequel is the other two islands where they meet even more rapey people. It basically gets episodic where everyone's like "listen to the main girl's advice" and whoever is the current rear end in a top hat is like "no because I want to be the leader and everyone is listening to main girl instead" and the rear end in a top hat leads them into a worse situation with a new mutant bug and some people die before main girl goes "this is the [bug], let me rant about what it is" and then jury-rigs a solution with emergency equipment and they take one small step toward wherever they're heading to before repeating it all again. Main group makes it to the mainland but are whisked away by a shady rich dude who turns out to have experimented with making livestock (namely crustaceans like crabs/lobsters) artificially larger to solve world hunger but also to be rich as the first to do it. I don't know if the series is on hiatus or cancelled but it's just left at the main group escaping from being locked in by the rich dude and bursting into a press conference and the press learning they're the survivors of the airplane crash. Main girl blurts out that they're attacked by giant insects and the other islands still need help. Nothing new seems to have been released for a while now for this series. The only thing we can infer is that the rich dude's company did its experiments on the first island because early on they spot tanks full of mutant crabs in a hospital facility and is probably responsible for the accidental spread of making insects gigantic and he's trying to cover it up.

Do people still read To Your Eternity? Thought maybe there was a thread now or something. The anime is nearing the giant knocker Siege thing, which is also about where I left off with the manga so I decided to start reading again. Remember a lot of people getting tired of that arc. Finally got to chapter 117, and there appears to be a major timeskip/new step forward in the story/gamechanger. Would people say it's still pretty great as a series or is there Immortal fatigue? Looks like I've got a shitload more chapters to catch up to. Also gotta actually finish Golden Kamuy now that it's done. Haven't really read manga in ages.

Part 2 is also done now and I think the series has been on hiatus since then? I have no idea where it could go from there and there hasn't been a new chapter since October but the last chapter doesn't say "the end." Anyway, part 2 is very different from part 1 and a lot of people seemed to hate it but I like it a lot.

Chapter 138 of To Your Eternity...the whole Mimori story is weird, did not expect this series to have a creepy pedo older brother character... This is a freak looking up his little sister's skirt and most of his punishment is just gag stuff. Her problems aren't just involving her mom, he's repeatedly depicted as a hosed up creep older brother. I don't want her going on tropical vacation with this dude!! He convinces his sister to live again by letting himself get heroically pummeled like some Shonen hero until she feels so bad she's like okay yeah fine I guess!!! Just stop!!! They should be cheering his rear end getting whooped.
