They did 2 short stories of the ummm, 4, that was in that vol. The broom one is shit because it is broom, the other one is almost shit because Char didn't get most of the air time.

They could've done the CharxLaura one and I would've been happy, but no, gotta show more broom.

Being that Ichika is asexual i think CharxLaura is actually the most realistic choice out of anything in that show

Alternatively there is the Tatenashi harem end, if that happens I'd be a happy, happy man.

The CharxLaura one was pretty decent even w/o the fan service lol, the service just puts things over the top.

...wanted to post random scan only to realize that I probably deleted the scans I had.

Its a fake harem so Ichika x Broom is the only possible pairing in the show.

They won't get to the cool character(s) [I don't read it but I like Ajimu's character design] so it'll be crappy as hell.

Everything before the minus arc is utter shit. Everything after and including the minus arc is also shit, but is made bearable by the existence of Kumagawa and Ajimu.

Idunno, I've never seen anything like Medaka Box that fails to take itself seriously this much. It's pretty good as long as you don't try to take it seriously

The two major series by Nishio Ishin are both basically vastly better versions of Medaka, the only thing those two kind of lack is the overwhelming parody of the shounen genre.

Except you parody shounen by creating the most shounen possible series, we call that pain.

The purpose of meta is supposed to engage the reader I think, not make the reader want to punch self in pain.

Seriously Medaka Box has nothing to keep it going.

Well maybe I should clarify. The entire flask plan arc was retarded. It's probably some of the most cliche shounen material I've read in my life. I actually dropped the manga at this point because I thought it was that bad. The minus arc redeems the series a bit by pulling off some self-aware stuff, and all this is courtesy of Kumagawa. Eventually we get introduced to Ajimu, and with that, the series goes all out of whack in terms of meta-humor and self-awareness, and finally becomes somewhat bearable. And even with all this change, we still get fed plot battles where the winner wins because fuck you this is a shounen in Weekly Shounen Jump (Hi Medaka).

As for the characters, Medaka is the most infuriating character I've ever encountered, period. She is the Mary Sue of Mary Sues. I hate her with a passion. Zenkichi is your average tryhard protagonist (yes, despite what the current arc is trying to tell you, he IS a protagonist). Kumagawa gets a pass. And Ajimu? She's some entity that's the mastermind, yet not quite the final boss, and when she's not busy manipulating the hell out of everyone, she's being her awesome smug self. Everyone else is pretty boring. I guess Shiranui could be an exception, but she gets zero screentime.

Therefore, Medaka Box is bad except for Kumagawa and Ajimu.

Ajimu is what I wish Shiogi could've been, not in the smugness or keikaku part or anything, but actually being "alive" during the main series.

Then again being the menace from the past probably made her feel as OP as she ended up being. Still doesn't excuse the lack of my favorite, original 策士. Togame is just a ripoff.

Oh yeah also keep in mind that in the same serialization, we get Gintama. Why put up with fucking Zenkichi when you can have Gin-san.

Reading Love-Hina, and loving it. I'm a real sucker for romance manga (especially shoujo, idk why). I can seem that some of the characters in Mahou Sensei Negima! are really based off some characters in Love - Hina.

Is Infinite Stratos actually good? It seemed like some loli+mecha harem mash when I read the first few chapters.

+ Show Spoiler [Infinite Stratos OVA] +
The levels of denseness that Ichika has is mind boggling. And the patience that the girls have is unbelievable.

Laura and Houki were the only ones that manned the fuck up in this ep. But I still have a special place in my heart for dat Char-lulu cause shes just too damned COW-EYEEE. Dat Kana Hanazawa ftw baby.

Only thing that really does annoy me with these harems is that the MC never chooses a girl. And that just leaves the viewers to fanboy over which girl is their favorite.

Im also wondering if they do a S2 how will they introduce the American pilot, since you know... The last couple eps kinda fucked up her introduction... Oh wells.

IS is trash. Below average harem, brain damaged MC that somehow everyone wants to beat but simply can't because he's the MC. Supposed to be funny, but it really isn't.

Sub, don't listen to Blasty's nostalgia.

LOOK! THE EAST IS BURNING RED!

So yeah you should probably rewatch it.

I never said the dub was better than the sub. I said the dub was better than most other dubs I have seen. Scratch that it's got the best dub in everything I've watched so far

The difference between the Japanese and the Dub can be summed up best by just listening to these two videos:

vs



On an additional note, G Gundam also has one of my secret Waifus.

Will you stop putting words in my mouth? since when did I say Dub > Sub

Read before posting please. You seem to have a bad habit about that recently

Where in my last post did I say anything about what you said? Before you tell me to "read before posting", why don't you take your own advise?

That post you quoted has me showing two videos of the japanese vs the dub, to let people draw their own conclusion about it. I didn't say a single thing about what you said in it, so I wasn't "putting words in your mouth".

Then why did you quote me? because obviously you're trying to say something about my post

You posted a video of the dub. I posted a videos of the sub and dub so people can compare them. Whats hard to understand about that?

Sub, don't listen to Blasty's nostalgia.
The difference between the Japanese and the Dub can be summed up best by just listening to these two videos:

who's the one that spoke those lines then?

Holy shit, are we really going to do this?

Guy asks "Sub or Dub (cuz Blasty said they were good)?"
Me: Don't listen to Blasty, Sub
You: "I never said Dub>Sub.
Look at this video of the dub."
Me: Look at these two videos of the sub and dub.
You: "OMG WHY DONT U READ B4 U POST!?!?"

Do you not see how silly you are being?

No because the only reason you're posting is trying to put me down for saying the dub was good. Your posting attitude on this thread is something I am getting sick of. Whenever I post anything at all, you just want to pick a fight with me


To be fair, he only really looks like he's "picking a fight" with you because he's incredibly unhappy with the general quality of most of your posts.
