Okarin tutturu~! The Japanese Anime & Manga Thread II [POST YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS]

Watching Shangri-la Frontier atm, it's a lot better than I imagined it'd be, normally I find MMO gaming themed isekai stuff a little difficult to get into (I don't play MMO's) but this seems to be fine so far and not as 'Teen Edgelord' as a few other similar animes I've tried watching .

About to start catching back up with Yancha Gal no Anjou-san and it's going to be a nightmare finding where I left off after MangaDex lost my progress. I wish I kept updating my list of bookmarks but I'm a lazy, lazy man. :slol:

I also don't think I could read a chapter about losing a cat as I only recently lost my old boy I raised from 1 week old. :cry:

Dandadan 137

Momo falling flat on her face every time she tries to climb that wall will never not be funny... and right after she sounded all smart and cool too. :slol:

I like Zuma already.

My Dress Up Darling 100

Aw, Marin getting praised for her efforts too. :wub:

I love how she is so exhausted she doesn't mind being referred to as Princess for her cosplayer name.. damn it, Akira! :slol:

Gojo no doubt jumping to the conclusion that Marin will go pro without him. Will be interesting to see what the manga-ka has to say in the next chapter.

I suspect Marin won't go pro without Gojo but he thinks she will and tries to keep his distance from her, Marin definitely has to be the one to make the first move in advancing their relationship as Gojo has such little self esteem after seeing everyone crowding round her like that.

Four episodes in and I'm really digging this.

Jujutsu Kaisen 248

My boy Yuji finally coming in to his own and getting reverse curse technique plus likely blood manipulation and some soul bullshit.

My Hero Academia 412

Really haven't been enjoying Deku vs Shigaraki with AfO. I guess with what's already been stated before it will end with Deku using up OfA to defeat/save Tenko Shimura from the monster he became.

One Piece 1104

That has got to be one of the most satisfying punches in the series. St. Saturn is such a enormous piece of shite, one can only hope he gets taken out in the Buster Call.

Akane-banashi 94

Akane is so lucky to have so many good rivals, elder disciples and mentors on her side. Time for our girl to win over some grumpy old git. :wub:

Witch Watch ch140

Haven't had a Fran chapter for a while, love how the reason she uses a robotic 'clone' is because she doesn't like her natural voice.. Also using the robo-fran to cosplay as Nico's favourite anime character even though she wouldn't wear the outfit herself :lol:

Dandadan 139

Dat MOE MOE TRI-BEAM! Let 'em eat cake, indeed. :wub:

Loving this arc although I thought Zuma had the gold ball so not sure how Momo used her power

Witch Watch ch141 was great too everyone pitching in to give Nico a nice Christmas :wub:

And also Yancha Gal no Anjou-San ch114 Seto finally had the guts to ask her out :toot:

Tokio going to be devastated to discover Chii is probably a lesbian (it's definitely been hinted at)

That's a great heads up thanks! Bought. Blue Period alone would make me a happy bunny never mind the rest!

If they sold this in Japanese as well I'd probably buy it, but I just don't really read Manga in English so it's not really much use to be sadly. Insane value though!

One Piece 1106

Ah the POWER OF LOVE and Dr. Vegapunk being a good man. :wub:

A shame I have to endure Luffy's Nika antics now though. :dread:

Jujutsu Kaisen 249

Oh well, I guess Kenjaku really was beaten. A shame as he was infinitely more interesting as a villain than Sukuna ever was.

Ironhide wrote:Witch Watch ch141 was great too everyone pitching in to give Nico a nice Christmas

This little Christmas arc has been so cute. The convoluted plan they came up with just to give Nico a nice Christmas memory. :wub:

Witch Watch 142

...and of course nothing goes to plan. Jealous kitty girl Nemu, drunk Ban and a temporary age-up of Nico to give us a real emotional gut-punch. :cry:

Cipher Academy 58 - END

This series was full of fun little code battles but I don't envy the translators with all the wordplay - one of whom quit after like 15 chapters. Feels like they got the hurry up in the last 5 chapters and skipped a volume worth of content but not the worst ending a series in Jump has had.

that hit right in the feels when grown up Nico briefly came back :cry:

Nagatoro ch144

Congratulations Paisen, you finally did it!

lol @ the last panel where she judo throws him.

~GROSS~

I was re-reading the latest few chapters in anticipation and that bit with the love & courage and extreme loser power shumai always makes me laugh. :wub:

~GROSS~

Finally!

Flustered Nagatoro is always so strawberry floating cute. :wub:

Choujin X 48-3

Palma and Tokio sure are something else, the former accidentally compelling one of her zombies to recklessly throw away the last of his 'life' and the latter just becoming an ass-kicking monster.

"What could a child like you even presume to know? Damned vulture... you are... a death god". :datass:

Think Shangri-la Frontier will be the next addition to my anime recommendation list, 16 episodes in and its been brilliant so far.

Chained Soldier ch125

Yuuki living his best life there :datass:

Martial Master Asumi 32 - END

Shame this didn't sell so well as it was one of the better combat sports series we've had in a while. At least we got a tease of the big fight in that final page.

Witch Watch 143

I love Ban, already passed out drunk by noon. God damn it Nico is a cute little menace. :lol:
