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

[Saint of Killers]

It's so freaking epic.

Berserk - Tower partially collapsed and turned into the hand I would not wanna be around Guts when he sees that thing. (The world art is amazing. Guts' combat movements are difficult to parse at times but still look great.)

Gotta love a massive chapter dump.

It seems that Dr. Stone is going to end in 2 chapters and I'll be so sad to see it end.

Akane-banashi isn't about a subject I'd have thought would make a good manga but I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed those first couple of chapters. Might end up scratching that Act-Age itch after its author turned out to be a massive creep.

Started watching Combattler V today - super old but the first episode was a lot of fun.

[Saint of Killers]

Peeps. You need to be reading The Fable.

New badass just got his pride crushed by supporting character, and then got freed by his intended target It was amazing how it all played out. So strawberry floating hyped.

EDIT: Final panel of above chapter just sent chill down my spine. DREAD RISING.

Seeing a lot of chatter about books getting canned/ending soon on Twitter. Then I see "SAKAMOTO DAYS" in a tweet and my heart skipped a beat. Thankfully, it was just about how Full Metal Alchemist writer endorsed it in the latest chapter or something.

[Saint of Killers]

Finished the latest chapter of The Fable they uploaded. Now what?!

[Jam-Master Jay]

Man, new Kaguya and Oshi no Ko chapters in a single day is always such a treat.

PSA: Erased is only on Netflix until March 20th. A really good thriller anime, only twelve episodes. Check it out, just don't poke too much at some of the plotholes.

Doesn't that then make for a pretty poor story, considering the genre?

[Balladeer]

Nope! The characters are really sweet. I'd say it's more character-led than anything else, and it does that well. I just... don't like how the conclusion turned out much.

There seems to be a live action version of this on Netflix too. Looks interesting.

Great news. Hopefully should mean a massive increase in content.

Watch combattler V if you want to see more bullshit like this. This owns.

Thank strawberry float for that.

I can finally watch S2 of Kaguya Sama.

Andd Qikz, that looks spectacularly silly (and excellent).

I recommend that you watch Sailor Moon since it includes a lot of filler. I would recommend watching it, but with a guide to avoid filler. This will almost certainly make it more pleasurable. Otherwise, the seasons are quite extensive; I believe the first season contains around 40 or 50 episodes. Also, consider it for what it is within the context of the historical period. It's a little campy, but given the target demographic of young girls, that's to be expected. I believe it's a terrific classic, with a number of very strong arcs that are shockingly grim for a children's programme.

Hi. Are you a new forumite, or a regular partaking in a forum game who has to post using forum game username?

Or a bot.

I’m not sure if it really counts as manga but the art style is more reminiscent of Japan than anything western, but has anyone read Melvina’s Therapy?

It’s an interesting one. General theme is a collection of patients sharing very dark stories with the mysterious ‘Melvina’ - an enigmatic therapist who gives somewhat unsettling advice and, who, I don’t know if you may have seen this coming, MIGHT NOT BE ALL SHE SEEMS oooooOOOOOOooooo spoopy.

It’s good though, very compelling and I really like the art style and ambiguous storytelling. Probs not for everyone but worth checking out if you like offbeat and spooky.
