NovaPolice posted:I want to know what was going on in the author's head when she wrote Usagi Drop's ending. Did she think it was honestly heartwarming? Is she some sort of well-meaning giant spider that thinks that ending is how normal humans act? Or was the whole thing some amazingly long mean-spirited joke on the readership? I mean, if so that would be actually pretty funny now that I think about it. I think it's her fetish, basically. Also, for those of you who feel really let down about it, there's always http://www.mangareader.net/887/my-girl-sahara-mizu.html which is pretty much the same thing, just vastly less creepy and more focused on how people think in relationships and such. It's interesting!

Hortism posted:Ah well, time to reread Yotsubato and pray Azuma doesn't have a similar mind implosion. Well, if I remember reading correctly Azuma did use to write pornography...  Nah, I doubt that'll happen. It's not really a drama comic anyway.Like I said earlier, My Girl is basically the same as early Usagi Drop, just without even the semblance of creepiness. It's more poignant with itself.

She literally marries her dad and is all "well i know you'll be a good dad to our kid because you were a good dad to me!" That is pretty weird yo!!

Kweh posted:While I agree the ending was really dumb, it still doesn't take anything away from the rest of the story. The thing is -- an ending is ultimately a critical element of the story. When people say "the ending is bad", they don't mean the Last Page is a point that ruins it. It means that the plot revelations with regards to the direction of the author was aiming, and where characters were projected, basically sucked in retrospect. It's like having some kind of supernatural mystery and then having the mystery be revealed 3/4 of the way through to be the work of "THE JEWS" or something; You can maybe pretend the first 3/4 are okay, but in retrospect the author's obsession with "evil yarmulkes" makes sense and kind of sours the whole work, you know? Plus a whole fourth of the story is rather a lot.

Captain Invictus posted:Is there an SA scanning group? It's a really great series and I'd love to see the rest of it. I'd chip in if it'd take some kind of commission to get it finished properly. No there isn't, I wish there was so I could get someone to translate the latest chapters of Otoyomegatari

I don't think we need a separate thread based on sexuality.

Hey guys: we're currently in the midst of a push for improving / adding new content to the ADTRWiki, our recommendation and good-series-to-watch listing. One thing I am currently trying to improve is our New to Anime & Manga listing, which provides a genre-specific list of some suggested shows that newer folks may find worth checking out. Thing is, I'm not entirely happy with how the Romance sections for both anime and manga are; there's some titles that I know are sort of in there as filler, and I'd like to get some better things in there if possible (ideally easily accessible ones, even better if they can be purchased!) If you've got any thoughts on things to switch in / what they should be replacing, please feel free to share them in the ADTRWiki maintenance thread we're temporarily running. Additionally, if there's any series you like please help share your opinions on them on the wiki! This is a great way to give / receive suggestions on interesting shows, and ideally should be handling the majority load of it. For example, just yesterday I made a page for The Rose of Versailles, which is great and you all should check out. Zorak fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Jan 14, 2014 |
