he's just a catalyst for their own improvement and self reflection, its not a power fantasy thing where an old dude is fawned on by cartoon cut outs the series is viewed from their eyes

That's the starting point of the premise but the series strength is that it very quickly evolves beyond that and generates an interesting cast of cool people who begin to interact with each other away from the old man.

So Aqua comes before Aria, right? Or is Aqua just another release of Aria with crappy covers?

Mill Village posted:So Aqua comes before Aria, right? Or is Aqua just another release of Aria with crappy covers? It started out as AQUA for 2 volumes in one magazine, then continued under the new title ARIA for 12 volumes in another magazine. In a way, ARIA is the sequel to AQUA. Edit: Not sure what you mean by crappy covers:

He may just mean the scans thereof? I'm not too sure, as I think I mentioned one of my dark secrets is that I've never read it.

IIRC ADV (or was it Tokyopop?) changed the logo for Aqua/Aria, which was hosed up because the current logo is in English and looks beautiful.

I don't post about it for every release, usually because I forget, but there's been a bunch of Hitoribocchi chapters released lately and they're quite good. Bocchi keeps leveling up!!

Yeah, Hitoribocchi is an extremely powerful 4koma comedy and one of the few constantly funny ones.

Anyone care to give me any recommendations for a good SoL to watch on the train to/from work? Preferably available on Crunchyroll. I just finished Non Non Biyori, gave Servant x Servant a try and didn't really dig it, and I've already watched and loved Flying Witch.

It's not exactly slice of life, but did you watch Sweetness and Lightning? I can't keep track of everyone on the forum, sadly.

Natsume Yuujinchou is a bit more serious and commits the unforgivable sin of featuring a gross boy instead cute girls but it's adorable heartwarming pastoral hijinks with Japanese spirits. I never watched Barakamon but only because I had read the comic a bunch of times on account of it being real good. It is definitely right in the same vein as Non Non Biyori and Flying Witch.

GJ-bu has very intense hair brushing action not fit to be seen in public. Also, if you watch it you had better be prepared to give the correct answer for who is the best GJ-bu.

The silly thing is that I only know of it because one of the local libraries I work at happened to have it on shelf and I was like "Huh! Looks neat, let's give it a try.  " Turned out, it was great!

I think it was hurt by the fact that it came out before the "chill&cute SoL" genre really caught on; I imagine it would be a bigger hit if it were made today.
