You called, sire?
Personally I have no idea how you people can put up with it. I dropped it soon after the unpacking scene.
Seriously, felt like I was getting violated "onii-chan" style >_<. Had to drop it to save my sanity, what the hell.

The first 15 chapters on one of the alternatives where MC gets to re-live the event was pretty good. It was alot like re-take from eva until they completely ruined it later on when it became nothing but mecha battle mecha talk mecha blah blah blah
And I also can't really stand mechas, they just don't make any sense military wise. Why in the world would you want to recreate human antonomy on combat machines when you are not bound by biological laws? Head on mecha makes no sense, and such huge surface area only makes you a target practice and greatly increases drag force. Having legs on mecha have no use whatsoever most of the time unless traversing in jungle-like environment, but why bother when you can fly. Mecha in those shows don't even use their legs to "run" anyway, they just have some boosters at bottom of their feet to push them forward. Completely defeats the purpose!
any show with heavy mecha undertone kills the series in my book. Macross was ok, at least they have the common sense to transform when going at a high speed (also mecha was not the selling story)
>manga The MLA manga is scanlated? Link?
Sorry, I think only the Chinese scanlation is available. I think link is against the rule, but you can google manhua 178.

I love how you found the need to explain something everyone knows lol.
bored at work tends to make you do things. Also if you have ever talked with any mecha enthuaistics, I'm sure they will disagree with many of my points
I'm probably the biggest mecha fan here, and I agree they are terribly unrealistic. I'm surprised you didn't even bring up more, with points about tanks and armor, gunships being better, and missiles, and cost, and such. I don't think there are any sane "mecha enthuaistics" who would say that they are realistic/make sense.
Best part of all this complaining is how when Sent and Uta complained I was like wha, that was a problem? Don't even remember much of her at all. Then Uta throws the youtube at me and I realized that I basically wiped her from my memory of the game. I think she really doesn't do much in the individual routes at all but, can't be sure when I can apparently ignore her for common route.
09:46 ecael what's with spazer and picking up mangas that I am reading 09:47 rabidch must be the elitist factor 09:47 ecael clearly spaza real elitist
That manga will probably only introduce another group of people after Edese's group is dealt with as per standard shounen~ Willingness to just kill off characters is kinda refreshing though.
The guy who saved Sera is Subaru Okiya. He first appeared after Akai's "death", and Conan let him stay in Shinichi's house. He helped out in a few cases here and there over the last ~200 chapters. As for how he got onto the train - Apparently he was with Yukiko in the cart (chapter 820), so she knows his true identity, or at the very least knows he is not Bourbon. She probably invited him with her to go on that train with her.
When did Yukiko realise Vermouth was Sharon? No, not really recently. There was a chapter where Haibara & Conan slept together in a bed, alongside the other detective boys. Yukiko took them to some fancy hotel IIRC, this was after Akai killed the sniper BO member and saved Conan who was disguised as Haibara. During the night Conan told his mother the truth about Haibara and that Sharon was a BO member who wanted Haibara dead, for betraying them. This must have been some ~300/400 chapters ago.
But as you know time is relative in the manga because all the story is supposed to take place during 1 school year -.-;, so it depends how you look t it.

I know that feeling very well. See, I wasn't joking when talking about her! lol
There needs to be a download disclaimer.
WARNING: This wench is annoying as fuck.
Boggles my mind why they would do that. The VN otherwise gets pretty good reviews and it's a shame because I will never read it because of one measly side character.
Eca said the student government president from Flyable Heart was similarly annoying, but it wasn't even close. I can stand airheads who break the mood every few scenes. I can't stand a nagging ASDAFHAYSFBASGJNAG.
"Wench?" I'm personally offended by this post.
Maybe if you stopped being so petty you could get over "one measly side character" and read the novel.

The story is nothing to write home about, and can basically be summed up as an assassin squad versus the evil empire. Everyone gets special powers and abilities and such from wielded items. The mc is nothing special, but does get some pretty decent development down the line.
Where this manga has me interested is in the implied direction the plot seems to be going. The mangaka has been reasonably liberal with character deaths thus far (though obviously the mc and titular heroine won't be dying anytime soon), and the bad guys have received their fair share of development as well (heck, some of them are even likeable). Anyways, things have been set up such that the two sides appear to be entering a war of attrition (mind that the mangaka has also mentioned no more reinforcements), so I'm looking forward to how exactly this is handled, and how the resulting character interactions are affected.

I've read the VN, and she is the worst character ever featured in a visual novel. Lucky outside of the common route she barely shows up at all. And also, you can just use your ears and when her theme starts playing just hold ctrl.

I actually wonder how much money they spent on this stuff. The animation quality is pretty ridiculous for a fake preview.
I started reading this. I'm really liking it.
Yea me to,
Read Arigatou last night. Strange but I get what the author was trying to do. Dont know how I feel about it.
Also it randomly occured to me. Maybe its a well known thing I dont know, but is it a thing in Japan to put the windows of school classrooms to the left or is it just an anime thing ?

The introduction of that new guy (presumably part of a third force) in vol 5 makes me worry a bit about that. The "no more reinforcements" line gives me cause for hope though. This also suggests that members of the Jaegers will be incorporated into Night Raid to bolster numbers (although I thought the city guard girl would be recruited as well, but we saw how that one turned out...).
Fingers crossed.
A random note: the character designs are weird as hell considering the time period (eg. Akame wearing a tie and skirt in conjuction with some random hip armor in the medieval age). They do appeal though~
