My Yotsuba&! tanks just arrived, been meaning to read it for years and decided that reading it during the summer after i finish my exams is going to be great, so i wanted them in hard copy to read them outside.

Also ordered log horizon vol 1 with it since that was recently released in english, looking forward to that as well.

Also planning to pick up some other light novels in general as a lot are being serialized in the west recently and most online fan translations of LNs are sometimes ESL-tier.
Was planning to wait for all of the Spice and Wolf volumes to be translated before i ordered them but i might order them soon to read anyway.

Edit: It was obvious that it was gonna happen with the ending we got and the sales it had but shingeki no bahamut confirmed for second season!
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

I'd grab Horizon if it ever got released but that dream is as dead as a proper 3rd season. With how DxD is being adapted maybe that's actually a blessing.

I think Horizon must have been one of the most confusing and worst paced animes I have ever watched.

Also cows, cows everywhere.

Because it is. That's what happens when you cram 2x material of all of fate zero into half the episodes.

Arslan Senki episode 5

so fucking good actually .. also one of the characters on OP makes an appearance

now when shall that archer girl appear

>Drops LOGH halfway through the first movie
>"Fantasy LOGH is so fucking good!"

Goody plz


well i don't have to wait like 20 episodes before it starts to get exciting(from what i heard i have to wait), i don't have to remember 1239712873 characters along the way and did i ever mention i don't enjoy watching space opera ?

so yeah there's a difference actually a difference between them .. oh also i already finished the LoGH movie man

A few points I would like to make. First, I like how you are pulling episode numbers out of your ass, guy-who-never-watched-it to know it somehow takes "20" episodes for LoGH to get good, which is horseshit. Second, there has already been like 13482379878025 characters along the way in Arslan and it looks to continue to get bigger, exactly like LOGH. Third, I lied about it being a few, I'm ranting here. Fourth, "don't like space opera" is such a bad excuse. How superficial can someone be? Are you going to tell me you hate anything that has "science fiction" in it? Change the horses to space ships. Wow, Arslan is now LOGH! Thats how similar they are, and somehow only one "so fucking good". Also, don't talk about how different they are we when you haven't seen both things in question.

Not to knock Arslan, but because Arslan is really good, AOTY, and so far like the only anime I've ever seen actually worthy to be compared to LOGH, but it has a few things in it that make it clearly outclass Arslan, at least in terms of whats been presented early on. LOGH actually does have romance in it. IIRC there are at least 5 significant to semi-significant romances in the anime. The themes and issues presented in LOGH are miles away better, as it actually has politics and issues explored within the anime that are very relevant to modern day society, rather than something like "slavery vs crazy murderous religious fanatics" (which is hardly relevant to the modern world, or even interesting tbqh).

tl;dr there is no good reason to fanboy over Arslan Senki and then snub its big brother.

Why are you so angry because i prefer watching arslen more than LoGH ? lmfao. Also about the first 20 episodes that's what people generally said so that's my impression of course if you plan on watching a series you don't go on ahead and just watch you look for reactions and review to make sure you don't waste your time just in case it's shit. Oh yeah btw don't miss the part that i said that's it's from what i heard lol

How am i being superficial when i'm being honest that i don't like space opera ? yes i've watched a few gundam series and some other space shows but do i enjoy it more than other themes/genre ? NO of course i'd rather watch other genre if i can help it

It's like when you choose which game to play of course i'll play the one i like the most not the one everybody likes. And am i saying i'd never eat sweet will since i generally don't eat sweets ? Of course not there are exceptions.


"From what I heard" is code-speak for "pulled it out of my ass".

Do you even know what superficial means? It means you are only caring about what is on the surface. And then you grouping themes and genres together suggests you don't even know what a "theme" is, although you could just be being goody.

Here is why you are being superficial. In terms of pacing, storytelling, story structure, character introduction, etc, everything in Arslan is just like LOGH. The one and only difference is that instead of riding horses, they ride space ships. Its the same creature, just different looking skin. And you profess one to be awesome, and dismiss and drop the other.

Eh, how is having themes that can be applied to modern society clearly better, that just means that you like certain themes better then others or that certain themes interest you more and increase your enjoyment, its not that whatever applies to modern society is objectively always better. Goody might like different themes.

or am I getting confused here.

Who in their right minds finds discussion about the "virtues"of slavery vs fanataism interesting? There isn't anything to even discuss or learn. Hense they are less interesting.

When did setting ever mean nothing? The setting is super important. Why even bother reading/watching/listening to anime/stories/series if you actually don't care about the setting and other factors(LoGH and Arslan are very different even if you say they have similar pacing/plot sure but they are very different on other aspects like holy shit ) ?

If it doesn't make sense to you that's because it's your own reason of why you are watching it. Everyone who watches anime have different reasons for watching it and everyone gets interested in an anime for different reasons as well. And if i actually just want the morale/polical discussions alone and not care about the other elements like the setting, story etc why even bother watching anime i'd rather be finding people to discuss with those specific morale/polical discussions alone and talk about those stuff alone whether it be on online forum or IRL

Basically i prefer one over the other that's it Sent. That's how simple it is.

edit:

Do i dislike LoGH ? No i just don't have the interest for it atm even after i saw "My Conquest Is the Sea of Stars ".

Will i ever still like Arslan Senki over LoGH if ever i will watch LoGh ? who knows it could go either way

Why do you keep talking about how they are different? Have you watched LOGH? No? Then stop talking out of your ass, you have no idea what you are talking about. The differences are skin-deep at best. The setting is hugely different? Pretend each city in Arslan is instead a planet. Wow, now the settings are almost the same! The idea that you can't look any deeper at an anime you watch is amazingly shallow.

While I think both of you are being a bit crazy the setting of a story does influence ones enjoyment of it. Shouldn't just disregard it completely.

think about this can you imagine yourself watching a non-mecha anime even if they have the same pacing and story ?

LMFAO holy shit sent you actually say funny stuff sometimes

Sent there's is no reason to follow a tale if actually don't care about the story and the setting that's just crazy why are you even following a tale.if you actually don't care about both. Anyways i already explained my reasons that people actually possibly like have other reasons for liking something that is actually not the same as you do. If you still can't understand that i already done my part explaining it to you.

Who is saying to disregard it completely...? The issue is him disregarding everything else, other than setting.

And now comes the Strawman. Where the hell did I say an anime's story didn't matter? Where did I say setting was irrelevant? I'll give you a hint: no where. I mean hell, this entire thing has been about you praising one thing (Arslan), and then dropping LOGH despite it practically being the same thing, with just cosmetic differences.

And as for your retarded question of "can you imagine yourself watching a non-mecha anime even if they have the same pacing and story", the answer is yes, all the fucking time. The idea that you think this is some clever "gotcha!" question is beyond me. Would you like me to bombard you with examples? Because I can name a whole ass load of non-mecha anime that could easily have been otherwise without changing anything major.

Sent, I don't think you'll make any headway convincing anyone of anything at this rate, especially since Goody is staunchly against everything you say. Why don't you just recommend Escaflowne to Goody since it's a fantasy styled mecha anime that features romance/drama alongside of it? >_>

If he wants fantasy mecha there's always Break Blade for some glorious mecha porn.

Hell there's even some quasi-NTR
