If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

For currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net

Interesting how I see like the odd one out, I hate reading manga, just doesn't have the right feel for me. Less epic than watching the anime (imo) but at the same time its not quite a book, which I also love reading. Like this funky in-between that fails tries to bridge the gap but falls short being worse than the things it a hybrid of on their own.

Which is too bad, I hear often that manga are often better than anime, woe is me.

Its more that mangas are the breeding ground of animes so... you could say that mangas are a lot more "raw" than anime is and is more of a direct expression of the writer and what he wants.

In manga you see a much bigger variety of tropes etc.

I think Manga has many more original stories then anime. I only read the very good ones but you really notice they seem to be able to get away with more and the creator seems to have a more direct control from inception to finalized product.

Some of them also have artwork that puts most anime to shame. The average production value anime is going to have a lot of reasonably still animation wich is cheaper to produce so they can pump more money into scenes where it's needed (action mostly).

Homunculus is a very impressive piece of work imo. It really has some of the best art you are ever going to find and a story that is just nothing you have ever seen before.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/homunculus/v01/c000.1/1.html

It deals with suppresed guilt and forgotten memories. I usually don't like the stories that focus on stuff like that because 99% of them fall into the pitfall of being wanna-be art where the story is deluded and aimless and the creator just screams that "you don't get it!" whilst in reality the story has been poorly written and there isn't anything to get.

This story avoids those pitfalls by not having a wanna-be philosopher as it's writer. I think it's one of the best examples of what manga can be like but at the same time it's artwork is beyond spectacular and you really won't find many manga's that can compete with it on that front.


But the whole manga v anime and wich is better seems like a silly debate. I still find FMA version 1 to be the best anime i have ever seen and i believe it surpasses both the manga and the 2nd version, but others disagree.

Only reason i read a manga is if there isn't an anime about it, otherwise i would in most cases watch the anime, just habit i suppose.

A lot of times I like to read the manga for a show after it finishes airing, since I liked it and want to see what happens next. Or sometimes I'll just drop the anime altogether and read the manga (like with Yumekui Merry). Or I'll read the manga for upcoming shows as a preview.

Manga is awesome, especially since there usually isn't as much content to read as a full book, so you can get through a manga backlog pretty quickly.

LOL at John's vessel. That's awesome.

Admittedly, I'd be pretty creeped out if I saw this:

Hey, they're actually in school now! Why were they in school from the beginning in the anime -_-

Finally caught up. This manga is too awesome so far. Damn I love Isana. She hasn't appeared enough to this point, but maybe she will appear a lot more often now >.>

im not reading many manga curently but homunculus was realy good and disturbing the way that was draw for some reason .

but im never going to forget wolf guy , now that isane , that was just wrong at some points

you are right when you say you will never see any anime from some manga and they can go away with more .

Freezing 11 just came out! My day just got a bit better, if only they started this series from episode 8 it would've been good, so much time wasted doing 0 to advance the plot so it pretty much tells the story in 4 episodes instead of 12

I have a few more minutes on my download before I can watch it, but I agree. The season was "ok" at the very best for most of the episodes, but did have some good scenes. The last two episodes or so though were really good and really peaked my interest in the show again. I'm hoping they can just roll into another season and leave it as it's going now, but both probably won't happen.

Wow, the animators really fucked up Hourou Musuko "10." It was confusing and all over the place. They couldn't get a 12th week for the airing? >.>

Suddenly Nitori had longer hair and was taller for no reason. And the breakup was so rushed and forced that it wasn't even emotional.

Also, there should be a law that lets you smack kids who are being pricks. These kids are so stupid.

I don't know, but if anyone was going to watch that without having any prior knowledge about the show that seems like some spoiler shit all up in there.

Aww chap 95
It looks like anna and nitorin are making up. Though it is true, they don't really have romantic feelings for each other so it feels kinda wrong they are going out - they are just best friends, like girls IRL

Whereas i can see a lot more potential for romance with takatsuki, but then again, thats potential, there isn't any atm

Is that the one where the intro has all those hands and all the tied up girls? Because if so that's the only anime that I got scared away from because of the intro.

Lol yes that's SZS but the anime isn't like the intro at all. Imo intro was awesome but yes with it's bondage intro I was scared to let my roommates see them.

It's a good show. Though the humor got old... think I finished season 2.
Stuck.
