That's interesting because I remember Eden being quite good for the first two thirds. It was an interesting look about war in a semi-dystopian future and then how war hosed up the survivors. Then the last third turned into some kind of weird trans-humanism plot I didn't care about. Am I thinking of some entire other series?

Why didn't people like Genshiken 2? I didn't read the first one since that setting isn't really that compelling to me but people seemed to really like it. Plot gently caress up real bad?

I caught up in it in a few minutes because he's still managing about two pages a month. At some point the main character got really really ripped and is also gay now so I guess he watched Korra or something. Like that quality/time ratio might have been fine ten years ago in the reign of endless two-gamers-on-a-couch scribbles but now we have a webcomic scene with stuff like Unsounded, Stand Still Stay Silent and Kill Six Billion Demons so whatever.

Ytlaya posted:Speaking of Shuzo Oshimi, I heard that Iniside Mari apparently ends up with Mari having multiple personalities or something? I read some of it and didn't reach that point, but if so that's disappointing. One of my least favorite tropes is when that particular type of MPD/DID (which, as frequently portrayed, is controversial at best scientifically) is portrayed like a real thing. I would rather there just be a flat-out supernatural explanation.

At this point of Genshiken I'm not sure if we're meant to agree with that speech or find it cringe-worthy.

"Did you like Nier Automata? Try this," is a pretty good barometer I've found. There isn't really much to discuss about it since most major secrets have been revealed and all that's left is to see how it all unravels. At first I thought it would go the way Wentricosus said waaaaaay back in like chapter ten with everyone reuniting but now the ending feels like it will be the Moon People getting their wish and passing on, and Adamantine either going with them or shutting down for good so the gems can start advancing without him. It's just a really good series.

hosed-up for the purposes of telling a good story though or hosed-up because the author has issues/fetishes he puts on the page? I'm curious about A9 since it's by the Made in Abyss guy I think? edit: Oh it isn't the comic I was thinking of I guess. This is pretty weird though.

I feel like the obvious comparison is to Evangelion ('piloting a giant robot for the sake of humanity would gently caress you up immensely') but it also seems like an unfair one because that was just one facet of Eva but it feels like 90% of Bokurano's. The bigger cast and the way control of the robot is set up also allows for a lot more character-stories and a lot more different types of kid and how it affects them. I really enjoyed it. Narutaru I've been led to believe was much more scattershot as it went on and didn't manage to stick an ending, which makes sense if it was an earlier work and he was still honing a style/message.

So Alien Nine was about an Earth either taken over or indirectly controlled by various alien clans who train up kids to be symbiotes. If they manage to last the full year they're judged as capable and are permanently bonded to an alien. The two secondary protagonists fail by merging/bonding/something as a result of taking damage (or literally fuckin' dying) and actually become aliens themselves rather than symbiotes with one. The Drill clan held a lot of territory which the Yellow Knives tried to encroach on and the Sunflower clan come pretty close to taking over. The final result is some kind of compromise between Drill and Sunflower that lets humans choose which clan to be bonded with rather than being forced to be symbiotes for Drill only. Did I get close at all? There also seemed to be a bunch of heavy metaphors and psychosexual stuff that I can't quite grasp but I'm pretty certain were there. The entire thing with the boys especially seemed to hover around that metaphor for bullying/puberty/attraction.

Madarame's schtick of "dim but ultimately good-hearted nerd who hides from human interaction behind a solid wall of media" worked okay in Genshiken when they were still kids and he had a cast to bounce off, but in Spotted Flowers it's infuriating, god drat.

genericnick posted:Can someone remind me how it actually ended? I forgot the dialogue so I don't remember precisely but I think the final theme was about trusting the next generation and letting them create their own future rather than trying to control them or use them for your own end. Fairly standard in a manga but I remember it being an optimistic ending in a bad situation, rather than actually depressing.

I dropped it as well because NTR is a creepy fetish but also I have zero idea of what point or message this comic is trying to get across. Is it just trying to show us a dude who is clearly suffering from massive arrested development and how damaging that can be to your adult life? Like, the few chapters before this was about the wife trying to seduce her husband away from porn games because he won't gently caress her while she's pregnant, I guess? What the gently caress?

Why is Madarame the focus of any of these series when as I recall wasn't the original Genshiken protagonist/POV character the other dude who joined in his first year?

I'm never gonna read Nidaime so I'll ask straight up: What was Hato's arc? Was he actually LGBT (well, not the L but one of the others) or was he just obsessed with his yaoi Madarame fantasy and the cross-dressing was incidental? Like I expect literally nothing progressive from this but I'm still curious.

As someone who has never read/seen Osomatsu what are the actual implications of this for the comic? Like yeah if it had been Doraemon or something I could probably infer "Doraemon as applied to the world would probably be extremely traumatizing and have huge implications and effects on a person's life" but who is this guy?

If you're getting withdrawl jitters from Ancient Magus Bride try Witch Hat Atelier. On a scale of one to ten where one is 'Ran and the Grey World Super-Comfy Funtime Days With Mild Peril' and ten is 'Ancient Magus Bride Homunculus and Celtic Blood-Magic Terror-Hour' I'd say it's at about a three, going on maybe a five at the most.

I mean it's obvious that the dude has huge issues leading to incredibly self-destructive impulses. I just don't care about the dude compared to the people he warps around him. Kind of reminds me of The Office (the UK one, not the US one). Just a really deep dive into a very pathetic man.

I kind of started skimming and then gave up when the lives of everyone started to bend around Madarame who until that moment seemed like a secondary protagonist and template for "over-invested anime fan" rather than the primary protagonist or romantic idol (somehow?!!?!?).

It bums me out there's a manga with the amazing premise "every twenty years the ghost of Tecumseh possesses his descendant and kills the US President" and it's wasted on a bunch of schoolgirl tits and piss jokes. It's called 'Red Princess something-something' but I'm so totally disappointed I forgot the full name already.

Realtalk: Gantz was at it's best when it showed a regular pervy rear end in a top hat becoming a better person via forming real and eventually loving human connections, set in a story where every character was under a threat of death that didn't feel gratuitous or like the author was just being cruel to the readers. It had some questionable moments but I really enjoyed almost all of the early series. The ending I wanted was one where Kuruno successfully resurrected all his friends, solved the mystery of who Gantz was, and got to live a well-deserved happy life with Tae. Of course none of that happened and the entire thing fell apart.

I would have thought the collaborative nature of the SCP website would have made monetisation a landmine, unless they dump everything but the central conceit of "there is an organisation that catelogues and stores dangerous/weird poo poo".

Yo what the gently caress was Golden Boy? I checked it out because That One Swimming Gif was a good joke and it started as like a fairly okay sex-comedy, but then went full-bore into outright porn and mindrape cults and whatever. I gave up at the extended plotline of him being a schoolgirl and skipped to the end which I guess was more worldwide cult stuff and VR sex with full-body teledildonics. Like, was it one of those series that started one way, failed, and descended into madness, or was it always well-known as this deeply weird fetish thing?
