Now don't get me wrong. I'm an advocate for sex in any narrative that wants to explore it or use it to expand on the contents of the plot. But the goal is not to distract from the narrative itself, rather, enrichen it or bring new elements to the table. Using erotica for the sake of erotica which has no other purpose but the turn the reader on is just as bad as having unnecessary violence/action or drawn out dialogue that leads to no where.

 

Keep reading. Just wait to see how they "develop" Saki in the later portions of the story :pinched:

You certainly seem to have your priorities straight.

This one?

Was wondering whether they would do animation on Levi's origin story, so glad that they went with it.

 

Regarding Gintama, I frikkin love this theme song!

 

 

Everytime "Prince Stupid" enters and this one starts playing I can't help but get in a good mood.

WHERE ARE YOU ON ONCE UPON A T-

Look at me, I should be expecting PMMM gifs

 

*sigh*

 

FINE

Shin Sekai Yori has within 2 episodes caught my interest. I'm very intrigued about a lot of it and it doesn't hurt that the anime has nailed the eerie aurea to 110%. 

Went with Toradora because.. well I had to pick something and hopefully it will continue to be a nice compliment to Yori. Started of alright so got hopes for it. Spice and Wolf is later down the line at some point. Maybe November or something...

I reached Gintama season 5 and I'm surprised with 16:9.

 

But my impression of the first episode was like this:

Then I realized what's going on in the next episode! So I've watched 203 episodes, but I'm gonna reserve/conserve the rest for the future.

Be sure to let us know your thoughts on SSY. It takes a while for the story to start pulling everything together but once it does it's brilliant.

@Levi's backstory.

 

UWAHAWYFGAFHiufyqaaaAAAAAAHHHUHDAWFHFWYFURF

 

that was my orgasm noise.

 

Now, for the rest...

 

@Prince

 

The translation/prose is terrible. They read like written by a total armature who thinks 'tiredness' is a word suited for a novel.

 

But.

 

The dialogue is still top notch and never lacks and the stories themselves are so good they're worth the terrible prose.

 

@Kaiser

 

All episodes of Gintama are perfection. Do not question their undeniable logic.

 

@Lotion

 

I'd have more to say, and to be honest, it doesn't really summarise my feelings towards it. Because I think even erotica has its significance when used depending on what the author/artist wants to convey. However, going more into it will just confuse myself and everybody else so I'll leave it at that :D

 

So thanks for the Reinhard pic ;-)

 

@Bro

 

Toradora is a nice little romance, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Best tsundere eva! Well... not really, she's still a great loli tsundere :D

 

@Chewin

 

My love for Holo knows no bounds

Even Samuel's into it :D

 

And that theme song is the defining melody for Prince Baka, err, I mean Hata.

 

@Isi

 

I'll not read anything.

 

I'll just watch the nice hentai and smile :D

Yeah I completely agree. Saki was one of my favorite female protagonists in anime as well. Her final decision and scene with the antagonist can literally bring me to tears even to this day.

And I'm so glad she did it.

 

Seriously, I do not know how this anime isn't so popular.

 

Still, many great things aren't in all mediums.

 

And what I really love about her is the source of her strength. It reminds me so much of ASOIAF in the sense that, her strength lies in her attempts (which are not always successful) to overcome her many flaws and yet remain in conflict with them rather than suddenly overcoming all and turning into a bad-ass for no good reason. Her "bad-assery" is very human, therefore flawed, and not at all out of this world. Which is ironic given that the Cantus powers are actually god-like.

Honestly, I shouldn't be surprised by that above.

 

On a related note, tried to introduce my brother to Gintama. He just said "meh it's ok" and continued watching FMA:B

She is a very "human" character in that she is flawed but she really tries to make the right decision with the information she has. For me what makes her so amazing is her will to discover the truth and yet to still try to remain moral despite being caught in an almost impossibly morally grey situation. I'll probably toss you a post on her when I get home and have a better chance to discuss my views on her because there's quite a bit I could say on her character alone.

I will say this. That final choice she made really brought the series together for me. It's genuinely a powerful choice that couldn't have been made easily for her and I have a great deal of respect for her for making it.

And yeah she was a total cutie. Definitely had a crush on her character.

'Meh' is essentialy my reaction to FMA:B when I first started watching it.

 

Gintama is something you watch with the mindset of "I'm going to laugh my guts out and won't give a damn about anything that comes my way." It doesn't help to be too serious.

 

That's why I can pretty much enjoy almost anything. My three favourite animes are a testament to that. LotGH, FMAB and Gintama. All of them VERY different kinds of anime.

 

I'm never the kind of person to have one thing in mind when watching/playing/reading things. I can higher or lower my expectations at any moment and will have a set of mind for things I'm watching (given that I have information prior to the viewing.)

 

When I watched LotGH for the first time, I knew I was going into some heavy stuff, so I prepared myself beforehand by reading a little ASOIAF. When I watched Gintama, I knew I was going into this huge wacky-ass comedy so I did the same thing and relaxed with it. In general, I love Japanese humour. The facial expressions, the voice acting, the bloody dialogue... it's some crazy stuff.

 

The great thing about Gintama though, is that it can do all that but still leave room for drama, emotion and great characterisation/development for the more serious arcs (which will be coming up soon so look forward to them.) So in the end, expecting less from it actually brought me something a whole lot more.

 

@Isi

 

100% agreed. It's exactly those flaws and traits that make her such an amazing character.

Man, that's a huuuuuuuuuuge contrast.

 

But Ghost in the Shell is freaking amazing and everybody should watch it forever because it's amazing....

 

And amazing...

 

Did I already mention that?

 

Amazing! Right, Zach?

@sim

 

True. I myself reached a point were I could only enjoy myself if a series was truly great in every proportion, to the point that I got really picky with games, literature and shows. So I changed my mindset and just try to acknowledge whatever I am enjoying for what it is. Still, I tend to get a bit worrisome when I expected something rather "lighthearted" and it suddenly delves into something more "serious" than what it initially started as. Had such worries for Gintama in certain episodes, but glad that they have proved to execute them adequately so far. 

 

And lol @ Ghost in the Shell. Yeah, people on the web tend to recommend for everyone into anime, so decided to see for myself what the fuss is all about of it. Gonna be interesting.

Straight from the book, vol 14

In hindsight, this is where 'erotica' would work perfectly.
