The Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun manga seems so.... Incomplete? So far it always seems like scenes are jumping around like the author left out a panel here and a panel there. The translation I am reading from mangahere also seems quite rough at times. Other then that it certainly is different then the typical. The story also seems insubstantial so far, like a small snack that isn't enough when you need a full meal. Still only up to chapter 10 tho and right now the two leads just seem very very very dumb. Like I don't understand what the fuck is happening. They just say shit who knows what they are doing.
you're reading a manga about high school kids. if you're looking for substance, you're in the wrong place

Un-surprisingly, the box for the 1/144 HGUC Neo Zeong is incredibly huge:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/pT9k1u3.jpg)
If you were to try and pick this up from a gunpla store or from a Con, hope you have a truck.

For a second I thought you installed some hi-tech booster pack on the back of your car.
lol...I'm so dumb
|
Also to clear up confusion, that isn't a picture taken by me. Neo Zeong too hideous for me to lust after.

to be honest, it looks like it's only huge in one dimension (width), big in another one (height) and reasonably in the third one, whatever that's called in english. Shouldn't be a problem to get on any backseatrow of any car whatsoever, assuming you have one and don't drive a smart. Pretty much like the packaging of a TV.
Though that's obviously still hilariously big for gunpla

I hear that's the cool new thing for anime's, bring back everybody that died b/c hey wtf why not. lol
I hate saying it, i feel it's a little bit trite but my favorite assassin has to be Tokaku. Only b/c she's the most proficient in every method. I thought Haruki's reasons behind everything were the best/most seemingly life like but her method was pretty dumb. I think the best method was Shino's with the bomb around the neck, but she went and fucked it all up by being stupid and talking about her ex boyfriend...had she not mentioned that she would have won for sure. And it was a little hard for me to believe that the 2 most unsocial of the group Banba and Isuke were the only ones to actually (in some small way) work together, even if Isuke was really just using Banba.
It would be better had the one's that died remained dead, but i guess it can be construed as believable that they didn't die (only b/c they're assassins and after all that training and all the shit they've been through their whole lives it would take a whole hell of a lot to kill any of them). It's just, if they really want to story to have stronger meaning behind it, they wouldn't have done that IMO.

lol seems like it. Naruto has something like that though it's rarely used. Well, whichever you like is what you like lol. I think the poison one was my favourite. She lures someone into a false sense of security seeing as she's a kid then kills them leaving no trace (in comparison to some other assassination methods). Shino's was interesting as well but I think she couldn't help but talk about her lover. Can't blame her though, must be lonely to be that old yet retain your looks compared to those who you used to be with and they died. hmm fair point. Definitely hard to see Banba and Isuke work together but who knows what backroom deals took place asides from what we saw.
well, even if you are an assassin, your heart can't take a knife and be fine with it lol. Same with your body being strong against poison. I mean, you can resist but even with assassin training, you're only technically stronger physically and mentally but that doesn't mean you can survive that much longer against poison. Anyways, overanalyzing things lol. yes, I was already ok with them dying at that point but who knows why they changed it.

You should probably ask BurningSera (I think?).

I mean maybe it was done better in the LN since I didn't read it but it seems like he kills off cat ears loli just so samurai loli can fit into the team? And the bodyguard has to be the most comically stupid antagonist.. Gastrea going to kill everybody but nope, gotta fuck up all humanity over your idiotic grudge against Rentaro.

I just finished Sora no Woto. Very good anime, highly recommend, 9/10. Has K-On girls in the army marching around with backpacks larger than they are, suffering, notsuffering, slice of life stuff, and spider tanks.

And you're probably right that the little girl's poison is the most useful/best way of assassinating, but she like, didn't even use her poison gun in the stuffed animal to kill Haru, and then she was super obvious about poisoning the swords, i was a little disappointed with that part, sure it'd be a nice plan if it worked, but like...what's the chances of it actually working? After they SAW her next to the swords right after poisoning that other girl. If you're already on edge and super paranoid, something like that doesn't seem like it'd ever work to me
Anyway, im deciding whether to watch Nanana, Mahouka, "fake" Dragonar (you're welcome lol), or date a live (which i'd have to start with season 1)

I only have seen fake Fake dragonar and I can't say I can recommend it.

I haven't watched the fake dragonar thing so I can't really say anything about that, but from the looks of it I can say I'm glad I skipped that one. As for the other three:
Date A Live is absolutely awful. Season two somehow managed to be worse than season 1. I think it's in my bottom 5% of animes I've watched, scoringwise.
Nanana started out good, became stupid boring, got good again for a while and became so boring I dropped it. And that's comming from someone who finished kanojo ga flag wo oraretara... so I'd skip that. Rumour has it that asumi kana, the single positive reason to watch it, got shafted and wasn't even in episodes anymore but like I said, dropped it so idk.
Mahouka is, as stupid as this is going to sound, a very niche thing, unless you're someone who hasn't watched more than 5 animes so far, in which case you might actually like it while taking it seriously. I basicly treat it as a parody despite not being one and it's funny that way. If you're not able to do that it's god awful but it got hayamin. And ever sincer Uta made the pun and called it Hayamincest in irc I've kept calling it that way. Let's just say there's some truth behind that nickname.
So yeah, if those are the only 4 you are considering I'd say pick something else or maybe check out mahouka and see if you can laugh about it.

I just finished Sora no Woto. Very good anime, highly recommend, 9/10.

lol 17
Haven't seen Dragonar and DAL, but it basically comes down to "loli" detective vs brocon imouto. But as others have said, you should probably just watch something else.

just watched black bullet episode 12
+ Show Spoiler +I know the situation is pretty dire, but how the fuck can anybody calmly accept Rentaro as the leader after he just blatantly killed that guy? Seems to me that everybody would just revolt then and there, even if the mask guy and his daughter were there to back him up.
Also, that stupid fucking bodyguard has to be the most idiotic person i've ever seen. Sure why not just fuck over this one guy over a personal vengeance and at the same time kill everybody in Tokyo including myself. That's a great idea.

So this is legendary arc that my friend recommending is really good, eh.

The Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun manga seems so.... Incomplete? So far it always seems like scenes are jumping around like the author left out a panel here and a panel there. The translation I am reading from mangahere also seems quite rough at times. Other then that it certainly is different then the typical. The story also seems insubstantial so far, like a small snack that isn't enough when you need a full meal. Still only up to chapter 10 tho and right now the two leads just seem very very very dumb. Like I don't understand what the fuck is happening. They just say shit who knows what they are doing.
That is to be expected.

Akuma's ending reached almost the same level as bullshit as Arpeggio did. Almost. It did turn an already average show into a pretty shit one, so there's that. I guess. Here's what I thought: On June 22 2014 06:03 BigFan wrote:Akuma: + Show Spoiler +would've preferred they kept those who died as dead since we've gotten over the emotional aspect already though I can also understand why they didn't do so. Haru has titanium? you don't say lol. I guess it was the best way to make Tokaku have her free will and Haru survive as well. Too bad though, it could've went down as a strong ending if Haru died and the other ones that have 'died' in previous episodes actually died lol. Bokura: good ending. Sets it up for a season 2 since they only got so far. Just finished Akuma. I liked it, even with that ending, i found it enjoyable. One thing that really looooved about it was the different endings. And the songs for each ending lyrically and musically fit the personality of each assassin that was featured. That right there makes me raise my rating at least a point and a half. All in all i gave it 8-9 out of 10 (i'd like to reiterate that i'm extremely lenient with my ratings..and once y'all know me i'll stop harping on this ) + Show Spoiler +I completely agree that the ones who had died should have remained dead but w/e. I hear that's the cool new thing for anime's, bring back everybody that died b/c hey wtf why not. lol
I hate saying it, i feel it's a little bit trite but my favorite assassin has to be Tokaku. Only b/c she's the most proficient in every method. I thought Haruki's reasons behind everything were the best/most seemingly life like but her method was pretty dumb. I think the best method was Shino's with the bomb around the neck, but she went and fucked it all up by being stupid and talking about her ex boyfriend...had she not mentioned that she would have won for sure. And it was a little hard for me to believe that the 2 most unsocial of the group Banba and Isuke were the only ones to actually (in some small way) work together, even if Isuke was really just using Banba.
It would be better had the one's that died remained dead, but i guess it can be construed as believable that they didn't die (only b/c they're assassins and after all that training and all the shit they've been through their whole lives it would take a whole hell of a lot to kill any of them). It's just, if they really want to story to have stronger meaning behind it, they wouldn't have done that IMO.
+ Show Spoiler +
lol seems like it. Naruto has something like that though it's rarely used. Well, whichever you like is what you like lol. I think the poison one was my favourite. She lures someone into a false sense of security seeing as she's a kid then kills them leaving no trace (in comparison to some other assassination methods). Shino's was interesting as well but I think she couldn't help but talk about her lover. Can't blame her though, must be lonely to be that old yet retain your looks compared to those who you used to be with and they died. hmm fair point. Definitely hard to see Banba and Isuke work together but who knows what backroom deals took place asides from what we saw.
well, even if you are an assassin, your heart can't take a knife and be fine with it lol. Same with your body being strong against poison. I mean, you can resist but even with assassin training, you're only technically stronger physically and mentally but that doesn't mean you can survive that much longer against poison. Anyways, overanalyzing things lol. yes, I was already ok with them dying at that point but who knows why they changed it.
+ Show Spoiler + hahaha yeah you're right, the poison one seemed really ridiculous...plus she drank like that whole vial of it. but they already set the precedent that poison doesn't work very well with like that first or second episode when Isuke tried to poison Ichinose and it basically did nothing. And the dagger to Haru's heart in the end, they didn't even really have to use the "titanium" rib thing, i guess...b/c ya know, if you hit the rib and the knife glances off and misses the heart..that's what happens, even with bone ribs..but i guess they're like "oh shit, it's not like Azuma's gonna miss the heart, she's the best assassin of the group".
And you're probably right that the little girl's poison is the most useful/best way of assassinating, but she like, didn't even use her poison gun in the stuffed animal to kill Haru, and then she was super obvious about poisoning the swords, i was a little disappointed with that part, sure it'd be a nice plan if it worked, but like...what's the chances of it actually working? After they SAW her next to the swords right after poisoning that other girl. If you're already on edge and super paranoid, something like that doesn't seem like it'd ever work to me Anyway, im deciding whether to watch Nanana, Mahouka, "fake" Dragonar (you're welcome lol), or date a live (which i'd have to start with season 1) + Show Spoiler +
well, we can argue that Haru is a special exception to the poison rule or that not enough lethal poison was given. Also, Isuke isn't a poison expert like the little girl so who knows just how potent the poison was. Well, the dagger I meant for also the little girl scene in that Romeo and Juliet play. To me, they were both goners. One drank poison and the little girl was stabbed in the heart. In Haru's case, ya, titanium might deflect the blade enough so that she survives.
well, she used it on the other assassin but yes, not on Haru. I think her method is one of concealing her act. She chose to poison the swords knowing full well what the play was going to lead to (Haru dying in it as I recall). It was discovered that she was the one that poisons so naturally, they would check anywhere she's been (saw her near the swords, checked and found them poisoned). I think it would've worked had they not realized it was her that was doing the poisoning. Being paranoid can be its own disadvantage at the same time. You get overloaded, start to miss things etc...
I can only talk for Mahouka and Dragonar. If you want to see an OP character in a magic anime with some cute girls, then watch Mahouka. If you want to want some dragon anime that has a weird plot with odd un-needed ecchi, watch Dragonar lol. Are you considering other shows? Nagi no Asukara is one I would recommend just because I liked the story and the characters. Toradora is also not a bad watch for a first romcom, would recommend  Asides from that, I would recommend you watch Nisekoi. It's an awesome watch and is pretty trollish but still great lol. The first season finished and though there is no news of a second season yet, I think we might get one eventually.
