Manga/Anime You Read/Watch

[quote=Searz]Soo, I just read through [url=http://www.mangareader.net/gyo]Gyo[/url] (couldn't find it on Batoto). It was.. decent. I like the art aside from the weirdly shaped shins when you saw them from behind at an angle. The story was really conveniently laid out and the motivation of the characters were doubtful at best. There were some really bullshit moments. It's a decent horror story if you ever feel like reading something short with disturbing imagery.[/quote]

[quote=XeresAce]Can someone gimme a decent anime with a dystopian theme to watch similar to shinsekai yori or psychopass or something like kara no kyoukai pls[/quote]

[quote=IShouldGetALife]Hmm is Code Geass worth the watch? I just got it off my friend and it's either watch that or watch bake and nise monogatari or Haruhi Suzumiya.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]You're probably better off watching the -monogatari series.[/quote]

[quote=IShouldGetALife]Thought so, I also really don't like the art style of Code Geass the characters just look really weird to me.[/quote]

[quote=lifebaka][quote=IShouldGetALife] Hmm is Code Geass worth the watch? I just got it off my friend and it's either watch that or watch bake and nise monogatari or Haruhi Suzumiya. [/quote] You'd enjoy Code Geass, I think. But you'll probably enjoy the -monogatari series more, as Searz suggests. And probably the Haruhi stuff more, as well. I'd suggest watching them both first, as long as that isn't difficult. Hell, you can totally skip Code Geass if the art bothers you. You won't exactly be missing an earth-shattering piece of anime history if you skip any of these three.[/quote]

[quote=YayaFTW]I am at Episode 9 of SnK at the moment. Sorry for not updating in time because I'm not home for the holidays :P I am basically amazed. So far, SnK is a dozen steps ahead of your average anime quality wise. I am really happy I decided to not postpone watching it any further, as I would have been missing on a lot. I was able to predict the happening of a couple of events, like: [spoiler=Predicted events] - A sudden appearance of the colossal titan, just behind Eren while he was standing on Wall Rose. I knew it was too calm to be true! - Eren becoming a titan. I mean this was a given though, but there's still a lot of mystery around it. - Franz's death. [/spoiler] I also feel like I have a little theory of my own concerning the origins of the titans Ah well, will watch a couple more episodes to see if I can confirm it Concerning the characters, I didn't like Mikasa's art after she has grown up at first. But now, the more I look at it, the more I love it. She's pretty much among my favourite anime characters right along with Black Hanekewa and Oshino Shinobu. She's just the type of characters that deserves every second of her screentime.[/quote]

[/spoiler][/quote] [spoiler=Episode 5 or so?]Franz's death is another example of something that was done better in the manga. I don't quite like what they did with the camera angles in the anime. I understand that they don't want to show gore, but it could have been done sooo much better.. Music was great tho. I gotta give em' props for that. Just wait til' you see the reveal in chapter 50 about Eren and his power. He, he, hee :D (the anime ends at chapter 33 or so)[/spoiler] [quote]I also feel like I have a little theory of my own concerning the origins of the titans[/quote] Just wait til' episode 11 or so. That's where my most plausible theory so far comes from. Not sure if they fucked that specific part up, but episode 11 is fucking awful. Loads of important dialogue was changed around and lots of unnecessary "filler" was added (i.e: they drag shit out like crazy, prolonging sentences and such shit). [quote]Ah well, will watch a couple more episodes to see if I can confirm it[/quote] Please post your thoughts. It would be fun to share theories. I'm gonna try to be careful not to spoil you, seeing as the manga has gotten about twice as far as the anime has in those 25episodes. Feel free to read the manga tho, the manga doesn't fuck up several very important moments like the anime does :P [quote]Concerning the characters, I didn't like Mikasa's art after she has grown up at first.

You'll see later :) I honestly hate Mikasa's art in the anime. She was fine as a child, but oh my god how obvious it is that they wanted to sexualize her in her teenage form. Her design is probably the only character design the anime fucked up. Lots of people complained about Mikasa's design, for good reason.[/quote]
