Only difference is that MC shot down Neko hardcore and from the short time we got this episode, it seemed like the possibility of their relationship going farther is gone for good. While in Nisekoi when it aired, Marika kept making advancements, albeit rather tame ones after the initial steps. She never felt like much of a competitor aside from the MC being flustered while there was a small possibility that Neko goes further (well, she got a kiss in before Aki lol). Anyone know how faithful the anime is to the source? + Show Spoiler [Neko] +Everyone, myself included, basically called her a Marika. 2.0 even imo. I didn't quite understand why Masamune was so turned off by her but it bogged down to Neko being fake? Oh lordy the irony if that is how the plot works out.
Neko/Marika are just there as foil to help progress the plot/MCs into doing more things. She makes her declaration and they go running. The animu is pretty faithful to the manga fwiw. There's just some shoddy writing along the way.
yep, I also called her Marika when she first appeared as well. + Show Spoiler +The latest episode just shows this a lot more. I don't know either, maybe she was faking it but then she also was sad (tearing up, the heartbreak part) so maybe it wasn't as fake as he thought it was. They never did say what her relationship with him was though his mom seemed to know something about her. Also, Masamune is in love with Aki so not really surprising that he'd turn her away after the initial part.
Cool, glad to hear its pretty faithful, thanks.

+ Show Spoiler +There's a lot of gaps in Neko's timeline that isn't revealed to the reader yet, even with the series a few more chapters from finale. From what I recall, she used to be a fatty as a kid too and like Masamune, she ends up thin and pretty in the present setting. She's sick but we don't know exactly why or with what. And yeah, loli mom did recognize Neko when she+Yoshino came over to visit. Amnesia is such a terribad plot device.

I've read The Gamer until recently. The MC started being too boring because of how OP he became
Grimgar. Maybe. Mangas of lns are always really behind though
And yes, taiga is the best

During ep7 I wasn't sure Kuzu no Honkai was moving into a direction I would like but the cliffhanger in the end upped my hopes. Should be interesting.
I've only seen 3 episodes, but I've been reading the manga on CR. (For some reason, they got the manga while Amazon got the anime. Some reason probably being throwing money at someone.)
My only comment on the story so far is that I don't think there's a single decent human being in the entire thing. Except Ecchan. Maybe onii-san. And even there, Ecchan probably has flaws.

+ Show Spoiler +l0l sorry to inform you but Ecchan is also twisted. Onii-san isn't even a man, pfft. Moka is probably the only decent one.

+ Show Spoiler + Moka took one word ten-fifteen years ago and changed her life entirely to try and be that person. So far, true, she isn't actually using anyone else... but that might be coming. I mean, Ecchan may be twisted but so far she's not lying to herself or someone else. Yet. I'm only on like book 5.

This isn't anime related, per se, but holy shit. The Gintama manga is making the anticipation for the final arc that more intense. It's been a minute since I've grinned like a Cheshire cat reading a manga or anything. This is just brilliant comedy and writing. Everything is perfect.

+ Show Spoiler +Who is Moka? o.O I think Hanabi is a pretty decent character because we get enough insight of her thoughts so we see her being twisted but also questioning herself and her actions all the time.
//+ Show Spoiler [Rakugo ep8] +Another good episode. After all this I expect Yokumo to be dead by the end of the season. It's probably going to be a "rest in piece" death though. The arrest of the gang leader surprised me. Let's see what they'll make off that in the upcoming episode.

+ Show Spoiler [Moka] + is the younger, twin tails girl that chases after Mugi. The past episode revolved around her.

Is Slaughter always salty or just mad at the jab at the greatest anime of the century?!
It's just a bit tiresome when you see 20 billion things about how Your Name is the best anime ever and this untold masterpiece for months running while the vast majority of the world can't even see the thing. Kind of like how before Gintama is even out it's heralded as the best anime in years. Gets a bit frustrating watching gems be overshadowed year after year to mindless hype(even if what is being hyped is still quite good). MAL is merely one of the many "communities" that do this but it's made worse due to people actual caring about arbitrary scores. If it was just a cataloging and sharing tool it'd be far less shit.
Calm down.  I think, functionality-wise, MAL is a great site. The ptw feature is incredibly helpful. Neo said he doesn't use the completed list. I personally do because it makes it much easier to recommend stuff to other people who ask for specific things. I can just sort my list and look for anime that apply. The watching list also keeps track of the episodes I have watched so far. It's obviously not necessary but it's a nice to have for me.
Furthermore it has a vast data base and nice search utility. The score-system can be tedious because of the massive amount of people who inflate the higher scores. However, it can be quite helpful to find new anime - just not in the way it was intended to. I personally use it to compare scores with people who got similar taste to me. That way I can take a look at anime they put a high score on and usually end up finding something interesting. Then there is the review function, which is very valueable for deciding whether the anime is worth the time or not. Usually reading one positive and one negative review does it for me.
I don't really care about the community over there for obvious reasons. The forums are a nice place to troll every few months or so, though. In the end, it just comes down how you approach it. Just ignore the shitters and use the features to your advantage.

speaking of the rating system, since I checked back on the Shelter review yesterday I stumbled upon this:

It'd be impossible to keep track of my manga backlog without MAL. RSS feeds can only do so much when you have 50+ sporadically updated series. For all my gripes about the site, their database is pretty good.

Just watched ep1 of Kaze no Shoujo Emily. What a great first episode. The pacing was fast but not too fast - a lot happened this episode but it didn't feel rushed at all. Distinct characters and relations have already been introduced and are open for development from now on.
The soundtrack is absolutely fantastic. Can't believe it brought me to the verge of tearing up in the first episode. So subtle and beautiful. I also like the art. The backround is beautifully drawn and the character designs rather remind of the 80s/90s.

Didn't he do that like...ep3? 2nd best girl has some impressive attributes going for herself as well though, so she might actually be ahead atm

2nd Worst City in CA8938 Posts
Best Girl: Secretary
Second Best: Obsessed Girl
Third Best: Class President
Fourth Best: Trap
Jury's still out on whether Obsessed Girl is really better than Class President though. Need more time to examine.
