Interesting point of vol 1 happened. Now we get battered with more stories from short vol probably. Like Southlight was complaining about the novels a few pages back, it doesn't pick up in character development till waaaaaay into the first part of novels. Anyway, there is no way they'll get 11 vols done, so we are getting either filler material or crap.
Well. That's why I read.
So this is the only episode with gore... for a very long time? strange how they would be so explicit. While the scene by itself is good, it's kinda out of place in the scope of the whole thing.
I thought the character development are ran with a pace like Slayers. Lina and Gourry stayed relatively consistent throughout the whole thing, and Slayers is much longer than Denyuuden. Didn't the author of Denyuuden want to begin the story at Daidenyuuden, but decided to fill in the back story first?
Well, that's just my guess as to how they'd do the anime. Who knows, I could be wrong.
No idea what the author wants, but an 11vol backstory, short as some vols are, is pretty scary.
Did I mention Felice is still about 90% dango in DaiDenYuuDen? Seriously hoping for someone or another to deliver anything. Also, I can only find vol 5 out of 8 release for Dai =/

Speaking of scary, Shiki looks like it's going to be the best anime of the Summer season. Several others worth keeping an eye on, but Shiki looks cemented in that position.
Amagami SS this week was so stupid. If the end of this arc is going to be as stupid as that episode, then I'm absolutely dropping the series.
it is me or that Amagami SS ep just tried to go overboard with moe and fetishes that it was just plain stupid? the soup scene was so unreal, nobody in their right mind would act that out while everybody's watching and pointing rofl
I think the most stupid arc is gonna be with the fat girl trying to be slim "I lost 970g today!" gtfo?
Anyone have a manga series they want to recommend me? I was reading through some of the previous pages in this thread and finished "Sankarea," which only has a few chapters and "High School of the Dead," which also doesn't have that many chapters but was still a lot of fun. It reminded me of Left4Dead but with far more fanservice.
But now I'm out of zombie related manga and want more. Anyone want to help me out? And no, it doesn't have to be zombie related.

I would recommend Hunter x Hunter if you haven't read it, fair warning though it goes on hiatus constatly and is on hiatus now (supposedly the author has been ill for a number of years), so whether or not it will ever actually finish is unclear. It's really good though. Also i would recommend Monster.

Franken Fran is a pretty fun read. Medical monstrosities galore. Every happy ending, even though it's not that rare an occurrence, is still surprising.
I'm pretty happy with Denyuuden so far. Ryner is pretty interesting for an overpowered main character. Nice to have someone that's not all "my determination will overcome all obstacles!". I gotta say though, I was expecting something a little more lighthearted because of the ridiculous name.
hmmm I think like 10 pages back there was a HSotD debate and someone listed other zombie manga/anime, don't remember who though. zombie works are pretty scarce.
I think someone mentionned Gantz/Monster but as far as I know they aren't zombie works
obviously Zombie Loan and Zombie Powder
Mirai Nikki is pretty much a slaughterfest and has a lot of action + a yandere girl
Princess Resurrection is like, a mix of a lot of themes and kinda varies between serious and funny, uses lots of mythical beasts (zombies vampires werewolves mummies etc)
edit2: now that I think about it, didn't Ga-Rei have some zombies in it? that manga was the bomb
edit: wow speaking of mangas, manga shotokan got shafted hard (they had to remove the majority of the works they hosted) it's gonna be fucking pain in the ass to keep up with 53 ongoing works when OM and MF don't even have half of it -_-

People are split on that episode. From what I gather, people were just so incredulous at what was going on that it was funny to them. I'm not one of those people, so all I did during that episode was get annoyed at everything the characters were doing. It's just so stupid... that it's just stupid.
Wow, I just watched that Amagami episode and I don't know what to say. "Mattaku", maybe? It felt completely retarded. I wanted this to end like School Days the whole episode. This is ridiculous.

I kinda get how what you mean (it's so bad that it's good) but idk, I just can't see it with anime. it just annoys me even more. maybe if I was drunk or high I'd probably still be laughing at neko Morishima but no, it made me want to travel to Japan to stab to the guy who thought it'd be a good idea then eat some yakisoba.
I've fallen behind since spring, I want to catch up from there and watch some completed series. Any suggestions? Already planning to watch house of five leaves and tatami galaxy. Maybe pick arakawa under the bridge and maid-sama back up. What are the other gems from spring and whats still airing?
Cat Shit One is sweet. Tactics? Double tapping (I've never seen any show, anime or otherwise, put this in before)? Cute animals? Okay, maybe not so much that last part, but this series looks really promising right now. I like how the rabbits wear ear protection that doesn't actually cover their ears because they're, well, rabbits. Also, the use of camels is hilarious.

Tatami Galaxy was amazing. B Gata was surprisingly good. Angel Beats has bad pacing but is still entertaining. Working!! was pretty good too.

Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei was only "amazing"? It's now my top favorite anime EVER.
