The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was actually the biggest piece of shit ever and anyone who deceives themselves into thinking they were given a real ending or any semblance of a coherent plot is delusional. It was nothing more than a vapid non-story that preys off the inability of people to accurately judge the aesthetic value of a story by surrounding it with average animation, music, and, most importantly, a wishy-washy general optimistic glow, all served with a generous helping of "it's up to your interpretation" hand-waving bullshit.
It's shit. Wtf are you talking about?Well some people wouldnt know a good anime if it bit them in the ass. EDITED some grammar thanks zergneedsfood Yea I feel bad for those people.
Says the one who thinks "Grave of the fireflies" is an boring anime...

Can't you guys go a week without shitting up this thread?

Anyone use tablets to read manga? I'm using the Google Nexus and an APP called manga searcher but it looks like im downloading some chapters that are messy (wrong orders for example)
Anything more reliable

Gunka no Baltzar is a pretty good manga. It updates slowly, but is worth checking out. As is Drifters.
|
Speaking of girls and leaping through things, Soaring Cake Girl is a good anime.

+ Show Spoiler [Photokano 06] +I gotta admit, this episode was so cringe-worthy. Everytime they had a cliche scene or one-liner come up I had to pause a moment and collect myself. But idc, THIS IS STILL ANIME OF THE SEASON. ANYTHING FOR MY ITOU KANAE!!! I thought her arc was pretty cute anyways, no one liked her as a kid, and now that theyre grown up, shes basically switched sides with Maeda.
Niimi-san finally got her ending. Now lets move on to Saito Chiwa's character!

Just watched Deadman Wonderland thanks to a recommendation from a friend.
What a giant fucking waste of time.

The final arc of the manga is starting to shape up quite nicely, however

Where do people read mangas online now, anyway? I used to use mangafox but apparently a lot of my bookmarks are gone because they're licensed or some stupid shit.

I'm still extremely butt-mad that it's not omnibus. Could have been an anime to truly remember, as most of the girls are actually very nice and appealing.

I thank the gods, the old and the new, that they didnt do any sort of "anime original" for Tonari.

For example, why did they introduce Yuu? She had practically zero significant value in the few minutes of airtime she got. The whole Natsume-Misawa thing went nowhere, too. Granted, Shizuku-Haru also went nowhere, but that was more because they couldn't make up their goddamn minds, as opposed to the situation being presented and never being brought up again. These are things that could be expanded upon in an additional season, yes, but if that was the plan why didn't they just introduce them early on in the new season? Were they just throwing in these 'cliffhangers' in hopes of getting viewers wanting for an additional season so they could actually justify funding it? Again, it wouldn't be (and won't be..?) an issue if the second season aired and it started as Tonari no Kaibutusu episode 14 or whatever, but as it stands, Tonari no Kaibutusu sits on my MAL, completed, at 13/13, and with an iffy taste in my mouth. I thought the pacing, if there was one, was fine. What I liked a lot about Tonari was that it was done in its own unique way. They didnt adhere to how most other romcoms would give you a "start, middle, and end". People expecting the usual might not like it, and I can see why. But I personally loved learning about each characters story, no matter how minimal it was. !kupons

@deadman wonderland : IT was great at the start (gladiator setting), but then the rebellion started and it turned bad 
That said, I liked Shiro character!
About Shingeki (MANGA SPOILERS, DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE ONLY WATCHING ANIME)
+ Show Spoiler +My download is a bit messy - chapters are missing, chapters are misplaced, missing pages - but so far, the story is great, although there are a few things that annoy me.
-I don't like the fact how Eren + others can morph into titans. I was glad he died last anime episode... but after reading the manga because I couldn't wait a week, seeing him make a come back was disappointing. Feels like authors lack guts to kill mains without allowing them to complete their quests, but that's just IMO (would have been so epic to see a main die that early!!!)
About the humans into titans, I hope they come out with a good reason, but so far I am displease with what I'm seeing. The setting is still interesting so I'm not dropping.. Still alot of mysteries : the walls + titans, why are they inside?
Someone wrote something about Blue + Shingeki comparison I believe a few pages ago... The more I think about it, the more I feel the comparison is not that crazy. In both cases, the invaders are overwhelming. Also, in both, there seem to be something inside human that can "turn" them into a monster. In Blue, there was that gene that can turn people into crazy killers (much like the blue bugs) ; in Shingeki, so far, it appears that some humans have something in them that can turn them into titans. One of them, for now, Eren, is good. The others seem to be bad, but we don't know their motives yet

I didn't watch the anime, but the Deadman Wonderland manga picked up quite a bit after the rebellion. The Wretched Egg arc is quite interesting.
