I'm not entirely sure how that rough, sketchy art style that gives the series much of its charm would translate, though. Anime tends to be much cleaner for ease of animation.

Also, any harem with Rin in it would be hella awkward.

ActionZero posted:Let's be honest here, it's probably going to get adapted by Gonzo who'll turn it into a generic harem panty shot anime. This will be the Rosario + Vampire of our time. R+V's adaptation was pretty accurate to the tone of the early chapters. The manga just swerved off later on and the anime didn't follow it. JWWW, on the other hand, is pretty much the same goofball comedy from day one.

Wittgen posted:I think a southern drawl is often used for kansai accent because the closest American parallel to the kansai/kantou divide is the north/south divide. Also it's what Azumanga Daioh did, so it can't be wrong. Nah, the Kansai stereotype is 'loud-mouthed, aggressive, money-grubbing city slicker'. Hence the joke about Osaka from Azumanga, who is none of those things. Brooklyn works pretty well.

Wittgen posted:Uh, I didn't mention any stereotype or say anything against the use of a Brooklyn accent, which makes this "nah" pretty confusing. I'm just saying there is a linguistic and cultural divide between the north and the south in America, and this is the closest thing America has to the divide between Kansai and Kanto. Hence it makes sense that it's often used. You said that the closest analogy is the American north-south divide, which is true geographically, but not so much in cultural stereotype. Brooklyn usually fits a little better than Deep South redneck. Mind you, Kyoto's down that way as well, and that's a place with a more rural (yes, I know it's a huge city, but...), old-fashioned highbrow stereotype. Maybe a 'Southern aristocrat' accent might work for there? That might work decently well with Youko's family. Darth Walrus fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Apr 24, 2016 |

I must say, that was a very slick little veer away from angsty harem drama into shenanigans. Shiho's one of the silliest characters in a very silly cast, so it'd be a shame if we lost too much of that with an overly serious arc.

Covok posted:If you think about it, if the future is "hey, I marry someone awful," isn't that just solved by resolving to not marry them? Like, it's not like anyone has a gun to the head in this scenario. The more unlikely something is, the more inevitable it feels once it's actually happened. Like, nobody in their right mind would shack up with Shima, and yet Shiho did it anyway, which implies that just going 'it's fine, I'll make sure I don't do that' won't exactly help her case. After all, that's what Grandma Shiho almost certainly thought that as well.

Tarage posted:Something occurred to me. Even though the cast of characters is huge and varied, no one hates Youko. Everyone is nice to her. I think that's one of my favorite parts of this manga, is that the main characters are friends. I'm sure we'll eventually meet someone Youko doesn't get along with. And it will be ridiculous and endearing.
