How Wonderful! posted:That's a pretty nicely choreographed fight scene but I can't find out much about the manga, what's the premise? Is it worth checking out? I think it’s basically that the lady loves to punch dudes and goes around finding dudes worth punching. It’s making some waves in ADTRW but it’s only got around twelve chapters so far so I’d recommend sitting on it for a while. Scanlators have an unfortunate habit of dropping projects out of the blue and not saying if it’s because of the series being cancelled, on hiatus, or because the scanlator group has fallen apart, so you never know if the the promising new manga you’re reading will suddenly just stop updating

Isekai is probably the trashiest anime/manga gets. It’s pure unfiltered power fantasy made almost exclusively for incels. There’s some good isekai, but they’re largely part of the “villainess” sub genre, where the mc wakes up as the villain of a fantasy otome game and makes the plot go off the rails

wdarkk posted:That's only in terms of recent isekai, there were some decent ones in the past when the genre was more for women, like Inuyasha and Rayearth. I’m pretty familiar with “(popular older series) is actually an isekai!” takes, and hey, one of my favorite franchises is Digimon which is often technically an isekai, but there’s a very big difference between the stuff like Inuyasha and Fushigi Yugi and stuff like Mushoku Tensei or The Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime. There’s a whole infrastructure of web novel->light novel->manga->anime for stuff like that and it has its own tropes, audience, and inspirations that make it its own thing.

Elissimpark posted:Yes, they do and the bizarreness of manga and anime are less surprising in light of the rich Japanese literary traditions of bunraku/kabuki which can get pretty bizarre. I don’t know if traditional Japanese stories/storytelling are any more bizarre than traditional stories anywhere else, it’s just we don’t have the cultural context/familiarity for it

Random Stranger posted:I had heard enough good things to be intrigued, but if they're hitting the manga pacing problem that early it's not a good sign. The pacing isn’t bad in a way that shows the manga is in trouble, it just takes 16 pages to tell what it could in 12 Manga has a great deal of breadth which means you can find works that go real hard into weird niche subjects. It rules, even if you have to wade through one million isekais to get there

After how terrible Beastars got I’m going to need a lot of reassurance before I read anything else by her. I read Bota Bota but that also had the Beastars problem of being good for about half of its run before taking a nosedive

Green Hulk is best, imo, when he’s basically Banner’s repressed inner child that never got to grow up. He throws tantrums and gets mad but also mostly just wants to be left alone and sulk by himself. Also he likes animals and wants to be their friend. Like, half of the Hulk’s problems is the world responding poorly to his existence. If they could leave him alone he wouldn’t be much of an issue.
