New chapter?

Diebuster's finale was so good. I didn't like Gurren Lagann's though

Just watched BNA: Brand New Animal Spoilers ahead, I'm not gonna bother spoiling the text because I'm fucking lazy. It was overall disappointing. >Plot/characters/concept Honestly a rushed mess that magically resolves itself, wasted potential. The amount of factions they introduced halfway through intrigued me but they took care of it in such a lame and dumb way tbh, and Nazuna never had a redemption, she just magically decided that her manipulating an entire city on behalf of evil organizations to essentially kill/neutralize them all was bad, on top of what she did to Michiru, and suddenly being nice to one child makes her a star again. This was just a load of bullshit, the happy ending didn't feel properly earned and the characters development was passive or just randomly and arbitrarily happened, it's infuriating. Michiru and Oogami were the only ones who went through any character development, and Michiru kept having a lot of bad decisions. Also, consider that Alan suffered minimal consequences, all he did was fucking resign as head of the company, nothing was mentioned about prison or any kind of punishment outside of that, it's repugnant. The mayor was a naive clod, and the police chief was a literal dog (as in an unthinking tool of his masters) until he randomly decides to grow a fucking spine. This anime honestly needed like 6-12 more episodes to cook, Oogami's betrayal could really have been interesting, and Nazuna could have been properly redeemed, and these other characters could've had important realizations. Its just fucking bullshit, I'm irritated because this genuinely had potential, but they clearly just threw everything into a blender at the end and served a sludge that marks off whatever nutritional checkmark they could find. Also, they didn't have Michiru play one fucking game of basketball, instead they had her play a fucking baseball game, I feel cheated. >Audio/Visuals In terms of animation and art, I didnt care for it at all. The character designs were ugly and disappointing and nobody really appealed to me. I also hated Trigger's laziness with regards to shading and coloring. Flat colors and a limited palette is not a style 99% of the time, it just looked like shit, on top of bad lineart. This feels like a frequent Trigger problem, I miss the Gainax days when they were forced to put effort into aesthetics. Music was forgettable. Voice acting was fine. The comedy was somewhat tedious, and things felt a bit too predictable overall, which is a waste.

The struggle is real...

>>5304 Easily .hack//shit Nothing else comes close to how bad that anime and it's ending was. I'm grateful even shit anime rarely reaches levels of nothing ever happens that bad.

>>54258 This has a killer opening song. The plot seems bad though

End of this chapter. Next week is a break.

>>8428 Is she relevant? And why should we care about her?

>>71178 She's just pedobait and Anya's best friend. I guess she could become relevant later on because her dad is a weapons manufacturer CEO, but I haven't been following for a while.

>>67530 Cute!

I can't find a Kikuri thread.

>>71105 I've seen people endorsing Megami-Ryou but I didn't like it as much as Sunohara. Kanokon is a classic. Maid Dragon's decent for onee-shota although we're still a ways away from any reciprocation between Shouta and Lucoa. Although I guess Lucoa's more of an older woman than an onee-chan. Honestly most of the onee-shota stuff I know is in manga, can't think of too many anime where the onee-shota is front and center or given focus rather than a one-off thing.

>>66670 Asking as someone who didn't read the novel, were there plot points in Toad's fight that would have seemed strange if the Mangaka simply placed it prior to Seigen and Gennosuke's fight? I reread Shigurui after finding this thread, and it seems to me like the story has problems with introducing plot points just to have them go nowhere. The mangaka could have easily have left out the bits with the Toad AND the hermaphrodite sister of the sword twins out from his adaptation, and it wouldn't have affected the ending of the manga. Another example is the giant monk being intoduced towards the end, showing us irrelevant stuff about Seigen's background, like how he was trained in acupuncture and did nothing with his knowledge other than break Geno's fingers 60 chapters earlier. Plus, because we as readers weren't already convinced of Gennosuke's committment to his goal, giant monk gets to job to Geno, for us to then see Geno to fall apart like a little bitch in his next fight because he was ordered to do something no less brutal than the time he collected some faces. Mie's motivations because her actions and behaviors in the story from the moment Seigen was ambushed to the final chapter make no sense to me, but I chalk that up to my inability to think like a woman. If Miura called this the rival to Berserk he must have meant the art quality because story-wise it's all over the place.

>>67716 >hermaphrodite sister I think she just has a really big clit. She should've fucked the brave sparring partner's ass from with it instead of ripping his face off of his head.

>>67716 Admittedly one issue with the manga is definitely how it introduces things like characters from the novels, and their plot points, only to leave them. I've heard it's cause Yamaguchi became incredibly depressed with Seigen and Fujiki's story and ended it with them, now he mostly makes upbeat manga ever since. Mie was Kogan's daughter, but Kogan was a slave to the feudal society. He'd have her raped to make kids in a heartbeat. She didn't like that, so her comittment to Seigen is pretty much born out of Seigen's initial defial of the Feudal system. He rose really high basically with just tricks & merit, and maybe she thought he was her ticket out of things. It's a sad ending because even if Seigen won, he'd probably be forced to decapitate Fujiki anyway. In the manga, this fits the anti-feudal theme to a T, but the novel is a bit more... Generic? I've heard that she loved Seigen in that one. I think the manga's take is superior. The ending with Fujiki puking isn't so much him being disgusted by cutting off the head. Fujiki is cowering before the lord, as much a slave as he was before he began seeking revenge of Seigen. I can't recall the entire sequence of events but if I recall, the manga pitches them both as more understanding of each other thanks to the roles they've taken post-revenge match. In essence, Seigen sought himself status and became just another Tadanaga goon, while Fujiki became someone pursuing justice in whatever avenue he could, and he wanted to make Mie happy most of all, like Seigen after his expulsion almost. That's why he pukes, he'd gone a long way from just heeding his master's beck and call, but at the end of the day he couldn't disobey Tadanaga. The decap is more of a symbolic tarnishing of all that Fujiki built himself up to. Mie kills herself for this reason, having no way out of this hell. Refer to pic related. All in all, I could definitely see why a few authors like Togashi and Miura held/hold it in high regards despite its faults, Togashi seemingly taking inspiration from it for his Chrollo fight but also possibly for the Chimera Ant arc. It hits reslly hard when it needs to and the manga is seemingly always serious which many works can't claim to be, even if it becomes almost comedic at times precisely due to that.
