Manga Plus can go screw itself right over but not me Anonymous 10/04/2023 (Wed) 07:49:38 No. 3709 [Reply]

Manga Plus have pulled a bait and switch with its new 'paymnent plans' for manga access. Trust is lost for Manga Plus Max trust oss. They've even replaced title covers so we're denied the awesome original manga title covers. Screw Manga Plus! It's a return to the seven seas for this manga and anime fan. Yo ho ho. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-10-04/manga-plus-launches-new-subscription-service/.203091

FLCL's back and just as awful after progressive. The latest FLCL sequel, FLCL Grunge and it's filled up with crappy Lolcalization and other modern crap. https://archive.ph/zg68h Anyone else found Mamimi to be a pretty shitty chick in retrospect? Thought she was pretty interesting back when I saw this show as a kid and later realized the whole the point in hindsight was that Naota was trying too hard to seem adult as a kid when he's way over in his head as to what that actual entails, or am I remembering wrong?

How does the Turn A Gundam Correct Century work? Spoilers for the show but it's plot centers around the mystery of the Dark History. An era before the current time which in the show's setting is a Victorian era level of tech society with planes & blimps. This Dark History is hinted at & outright said to be essentially the history of at least 4 previous Gundam timelines. From my understanding, each timeline is supposed to be a different universe. So how does this work? Because I can't find a straight answer no matter where I look. Is it: >A: Each Gundam timeline referenced here were actually part of the same universe all along. >B: Each timeline was separate but something converged them into one.

I started watching the original Mobile Suit Gundam, it seems good enough so far. On episode 8 right now.

>>3594 >adult characters rather than teenagers Well that already earns it quite a few points with me. I've been watching enough anime with teenager protags. Some of the mobile suit designs I saw when I was playing Gundam Battle Operation 2 looked pretty cool too so I'll have to check it out. >>3595 Glad you are enjoying it. It had a great soundtrack for it too. Lots of catchy parts that are still stuck in my head randomly.

What are your guy's opinion on Bleach: Thousand Year Blood war? I'm currently on the second season and so far it's serviceable even though it seems like it's rushed on some parts like Shinji's Bankai, and some aspects that remain like Byakuya's survival. What do you anons think about it?

I haven't heard all that much about it. Seems that a lot of normalfags give it shit for being a "loli show". But does either the manga or anime have any merit on it's own? What are your guys' thoughts?

I never finished reading this thing, I kind of want to see just how angry it can make me. I'll try to keep checking in but if I don't see /a/ in the top boards I assume there is no activity, someone might want to float the idea of always keeping legacy boards on the top boards and just shuffling their order by activity to Codexx or Acid.

>>3593 >To that end, the main female protagonist (ab)uses her position in vampire society to do a bunch of shit in pursuit of this that seems more than a little beyond the pale and winds up causing problems for people. The manga likes to downplay the problems she makes or pretends they are actually good things which for me at least seems very leftist. Good words don’t change military so she is taking realistic path, just like human depiction >The "old guard" . . motivations are more "political scheming" than "if the vampires/immigrants move in it will destroy our society". You don’t rule for centuries by killing your lifestock. Fitting for vampire/European to scheme among themselves and bother other human >It can be both good rage fuel Haven’t read this for decade as middle schooler and college guy but I don’t remember raging beyond Mina getting framed as heinous > I saw a clip or two from the anime, it looks like the fight scenes have more impact in motion. If anyone like the glasses president I can vouch to watch the anime until she is removed from scene (4-6 eps)

What the title says. This pic been on my phone since a few months ago and I never could find the origin of it. Tried SauceNAO, Yandex and even Google Lens, tried to translate what the title of the front page says but couldn’t get anything coherent. Is it a loli doujin, a light novel or something like that?

Since panda forbade archive downloads from leech accounts archiving has become a pain in the ass, but at the same time it actually gave it more purpose, I archive only raws btw and officially licensed translations which have value of being uncensored.

I went back a week or two ago looking for shit I've watched before and found around half of it was now lost to bans/whatever. Some of it was only a few years old so that is just disappointing to see.

Is it true that serial experiment lain is public domain? What does it mean? That anyone can make and sell fan art of it commercially? Or even make derivative works of it? Pls explain tz Or if example any existing title being public domain, is part of its title like "adventures" or "jojo" or "lupin" allowed to be used for derivative?

Other than trends,how does quality of an art quantifies into the traffic or sales it gets: million likes, million sales, Maybe like comics or cartoons, one piece, superman, top sales... We all know it has elements like compositions and such but, how do you perhaps, as an artist, slowly, systematically builds it up into something that worth said value? Which sounds as simple as choosing what goes with what maybe, and what to avoid?

JOBLESS REINCARNATION SEASON 2 EPISODE 0 IS OUT NOW! While the manga's pace has come to a crawl, Mushoku Tensei Season 2 has finally come out, and I for one hope that they finally get past the school arc in a timely fashion without outright cutting any major content from the manga/LN. Are you looking forward to seeing Sylph supremacy and Erisfags being BTFO? Or are you just excited to see more content.
