After nearly a year, March comes in like a Lion vol. 13 is finally out/available Highlights include: Hayashida/Akari/Shimada love triangle, Nikaidou being badass, the Grim Reaper getting a little mini-arc, and what I can only imagine is a lead in to a proper Kyouko arc. The last one there has me pretty excited.

I got to the part with the disfigured boy and dropped it because IMO it was treading into misery porn territory that I have no need of in my life at this point.

He's immortal and everyone around him isn't so yeah people are gonna die. Oddly enough I couldn't really get into Koe No Kotachi at all

Zerilan posted:Didn't see an active manga request thread so asking here: Looking for some completed series to binge through. Generally prefer drama stuff to action stuff as long as there's not some soul crushingly depressing ending. Recently read Pluto and Billy Bat, which I liked, and Spirit Circle, which I loved (have also read most other stuff by each of those authors). Have also read I think most of the stuff on the wiki's recommendation list. But yeah please also check out Kakukaku because god drat what a thing that was.

Ancient Magus Bride 42 I haven't watched the prequel OVAs so I dunno if this is retreading some of that ground, but oof

I think Attack on Titan is fine and ultimately not worth the massive attention it seems to get from both sides, positive and negative. I consider it a decent fairly dark war shounen story that I am into enough that I'll read it to the end but also would not be terribly upset if it suddenly got dropped from CR altogether.

I don't know how much of this was a time/place thing (since I read it while I was in college) but the original 9 volume run of Genshiken is such a great, self-contained story. It didn't need a sequel or follow up of any sort. But at this point any perceived fond feelings I have for it have been washed away with everything that has followed. It's too bad.

It was a series that was flawed in ways I think it could've avoided but it was certainly interesting in most of the right ways and I like how it ended in general.

Has there been updates with regards to March Lion? Volume 13 came out last year around this time, and it's usually one volume a year, but as far as I can tell that's still the latest. Did it take a bit of a break/hiatus?

FGO is the only mobage I bother with because while there is a lot of horseshit wrt its gacha and general grind, it does have a genuinely engrossing story (eventually). It's certainly one I'd recommend to any fan of the original VN.HMS Beagle posted:Stop talking about whatever and start talking about new March Comes in Like a Lion. E: lol Holy crap, they brought back a bunch of characters from Honey & Clover! Huuuuuuuuuuuh.... Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Jan 10, 2019 |

I remember, overall, thinking the manga was better for a variety of reasons (a lot of the anime is original, and their take on some of the Gung-Ho Guns were a lot less interesting IMO) but my enduring memory of it is also that it is almost indecipherable during any of the action sequences.

Huh, this was a bit of a surprise, it looks like the group who scanlates March Lion released one for the next chapter in the magazine: 154 I don't know if it's a one-off or the new normal going forward (previously they would wait until the tankobon was released).

New March Lion with an important message about putting in effort (and what feels like a commentary about crunch in the Japanese workforce).

Looks like the next 3-Gatsu arc is more Shogi, which is always fine but I really like the way this one in particular is going through Rei's mindset, and especially how you can contrast with where he was at the start of the series and how much happier and healthier he seems to be.

Red Bones posted:My exposure to it has only been the old forum LPs of Tsukihime and 2/3rds of the forum LP of Fate/Stay Night, and the OVAs of Garden of Sinners. I didn't really have the stomach or the interest to get any further into it, especially as the rest of the franchise seems to have gone on into a billion recursive versions of F/SN.

Fate/Zero being brought up as "oh no, that's the one that got it mostly right" is always funny to me when it's the most misogynistic Fate story by a healthy margin.

The joke towards of the end of Rentaro having a DJ persona/skit prepared to help out that he never got around to using was very good. The follow up joke of the delinquents not having actual cigarettes the entire time but being so impressed by Chiyo's iinchou-powers that they copied her was even better. It's good.
