Namtab posted:I think it’s less him being coy or anything like that and more him deciding that having Chika’s role in the story is better as a more static thing. She’s kinda the student council character without a real arc because she enters the story in her actualised state. The throne of the ramen emperor is a lonely one.

This has been a pretty satisfying denouement arc, really glad that the comic has had a good ending/send-off because solidifies how loving amazing it is. The official translations for this were pretty bad right? I sorta remember they made some eh localization choices or something. I probably wouldn’t collect anyway, I mostly like having physical copies to shove into people’s hands to read, and the anime is good enough to hook people.

I read the official translations for most of the series since it’s on the Jump app and liked them better than the fan translations when I read the equivalent chapters. It’s possible the official translation was just making poo poo up but there’s some points where it made more sense, like Ino’s drunken rant at the New Year’s Eve party being about Ishigami leering at Tsubame versus her in the fantranslation.

The first couple of volumes have noticeable problems, like off the top of my head I think everyone's calling everyone else by their given name right from the start. They switched translators after that and it's been much better since.

Namtab posted:Like I don’t know where you’re getting this convoluted theory from when the ending is literally just “Ishigami and Iino wound up in a love is war situation” and you’ve spent near 300 chapters seeing how that plays out The flash forward chapter with the college era drinking party where they are not, at least openly, in a relationship Like I'm not saying that they're not interested in one another, but for all the framing of it as a redux of Shinomiya and Shirogane, the dynamic is pretty profoundly different, and my personal quibble with their relationship where Iino is SOMEHOW less well-adjusted than the former incel gamer nerd Ishigami remains intact

The flash forward chapter was a dream, and Iino and Ishigami have both had character development since they were introduced.

Namtab posted:Is that really a problem in a localisation though? English readers don’t generally call people by surname I honestly don’t remember how much this was a thing in Kaguya, but when there’s important beats of relationship progression by how people call each other by last name/first name and honorifics, that usually gets lost in localization. Also the awkwardness trope when they meet the family and last names apply to everyone. Like IIRC wasn’t it a big deal when Kaguya started calling him Shirogane instead of President in the scanlations? I think Kaguya showing a level of coldness to Shirogane is important for the development, if she was calling him Miyuki from the beginning it would really clash with my view of the comic. The different style is probably something that’s not such a big deal when you read it fresh, but the scanlators have taken a lot of care and effort in the localization for the whole series (even more so since jaminisbox dropped it) and I like the style of how I experienced it.

Namtab posted:Is that really a problem in a localisation though? English readers don’t generally call people by surname Maybe, but they're culturally Japanese characters in a Japanese school in Japan. If you want to discount that, there's plenty of precedent for English children to call each other by surname in the kind of upper-class school that Shuchiin would be equivalent to. It's a bit archaic and excessively formal, but, uh, have you seen what Shuchiin is like? And Kaguya herself especially? And besides, Kaguya worrying about what to call Shirogane as they get closer is a fairly big part of their relationship's development, there's an entire chapter dedicated to her working up the courage to call him Miyuki instead of "President". If you have that barrier broken down from chapter 1 page 1 then that whole chapter makes no sense.

I get why people are disappointed that he didn’t get together with Tsubame but that wasn’t really what his character arc was about. When Ishigami is first introduced he’s affected by his personal trauma to the point where he gets down over minor failures and has little to no confidence in himself. Despite that though he’s fundamentally a decent person. The point of his arc, and the reason him not winding up with Tsubame works, is because his arc is about him gaining confidence and learning to live with personal failure. He realises in the end that Tsubame isn’t into him and doesn’t take advantage of her. Meanwhile Iino’s personal trauma and arc is an interesting contrast. Years of neglect by her parents have caused her to try too hard and become overly rigid. Her arc is about learning to accept other people including their failings, and to funnel her energy into making things better for everyone instead of focusing on just her own ideals. Ignoring obvious tells like the flower, it’s these comparative yet contrasting arcs that makes them interesting, and it’s why I find their pairing more interesting. I wonder if the goon dislike of Iino comes in part from her being the only student council member who starts off directly antagonistic. I don’t know. I make no secret of the fact that she’s my favourite character in this and it’s confusing how people cant see the growth of her and Ishigami as people over the course of the series.

I find that there are some people who quite like Iino and Ishigami as characters and appreciate their growth as characters and how it was executed in the story but are otherwise mostly ambivalent about specifically their prospective romantic relationship. And by some I of course mean me.

Whwt have you seen? It’s obviously hyper violence incarnate given it’s premise, but it’s also a pretty good story about a downtrodden loser.

CapnAndy posted:Is Chainsaw Man actually any good? Everything I've seen just makes me go "eh, really? this?" Very good. (Kind of on topic, the artist for Oshi No Ko, Mengo Yokoyari, is a bit obsessed with Chainsaw Man.) If you want something quicker to see if you like the author's style, he's got a couple one-shots on the Jump site. "Goodbye Eri" and "Look Back". Both are exceptional, with amazing panel composition. I don't want to oversell things, but Chainsaw Man is one of the best manga I've seen in recent years, and volume 11 finishes the main arc for the first part in a satisfying way, even if it picked up again this year.

I'll give it a try. .....is that what you thought the entire thing was? You just thought it went a hundred issues with the "The chainsaw guy chainsaws things and people go "Whoo he did a chainsaw!"? Because it's more a kind of bittersweet reflection on the hardship of trying to make connections with other people and find your way in a completely apathetic world. Told through a lens of a dude that has chainsaw powers.

That's pretty much where I'm at. I just never felt their chemistry landed for me compared to pretty much every other girl Ishigami had a thing teased with, though it also might be biased by Ishigami being my favorite character and I enjoyed all those other dynamics more thus him and Iino just never worked for me by comparison.
