What are you reading/watching? AKA Anime/Manga General

[2Bad]

I finished volume 10 of Konosuba.

[2Bad]

Well that's 11, I'm caught up besides Explosions, Mask, and some sidestories.

Spoiler:

We still stood by the door after Komekko had left; unbelievably, someone knocked on it.

Thinking that Komekko might have left something behind, we opened the door to find a young girl with blue eyes and blonde hair.

By her appearance, she should be slightly younger than Komekko…right?

Her face feels somewhat familiar.

She cautiously looked up at us, then spotted Darkness beside me.


“Mommy——!”

She then excitedly yelled such a thing before tightly embracing Darkness—

BakaTsuki?

Honey and Clover 7: Rika and Yamada meeting ... hmmmm

but man, Takemoto's resolution with the temple crew. It makes a lump in my throat. It's painful yet hopeful

oh shit, he confessed

bonus chapter: ROFL Lohmeyer senpai!!!!

[2Bad]

I don't think BT is even a thing anymore is it? The old and current translators just have it up on their sites.

[LJ3]

It's certainly less lively than even a year ago

cool about Konosuba, I'm fond of Darkness too

[Mashina]

She wasn't lying

[2Bad]

Also people went back and noticed that he's actually done this before when Helck fought the shadow knight.

[Trubo]

Oh, more Konosuba got translated since I last read it. I'll look at it when I get back home.

I tend to only pick up new series on a whim these days, and this past Sunday I happened to do just that; found a manhwa titled 'The Fairy Captivity'.

tagged for size, and for being a little NSFW

I'll admit right now that the fox-eared and 'plot' gifted heroine on the cover is what drew me in initially, but I ended up staying with it because of the actual plot. A brief synopsis is that 216 years before the beginning of the story, humanity had nearly driven itself to extinction through self-destructive means, when a "Holy City" appeared in the sky. The citizens of the Holy City are known as Faeries, and can use magic. Using it, they brought an end to the humans who were at war with each other, their stockpiles of weapons, and brought the remnants of humanity to heel. The Faeries helped to reconstruct 13 cities across the Earth's surface and travel between them with about two years between each visit, keeping the citizens in check through agents called Envoys; essentially humans gifted with the favor of the Faeries to carry out their commands. Most of the humans in the present day known very little about the Faeries; only that they are their rulers. The story begins as several of these things do with a chance encounter between a young man and a young woman, in this case, our protagonist and a Fairy. (the fox-eared young woman)

The story does it's development well in my opinion, introducing characters here and there throughout the narrative at a steady pace. Better still, the supporting cast and many others get plenty of development to where I certainly was concerned when bad shit happened to them. I can't really go into things too much because the story is complicated, and I'm not that great at explaining things as it is. I definitely recommend it to anyone that might be interested. One issue though is that it's fairly lengthy at this point at 179 translated chapters, but at least that could mean reading it might last a while.

[Rafflesiac]

Oh yeah, I read that; it's decently entertaining.

[Kratosirving]

Indeed. Didn't expect to get wrapped up in it the way I did. One minute I started reading it, next thing I know it's three hours later and I'm on chapter 38. XD

[LegalLoliLover]

I'm continuing to watch Gosick. Mother and daughter are lovely.

[Nikiri]

Ben-tou.

Fighting for the discounted lunch-boxes. Like some kind of sport, with own rules.

Fanservice, quite fine combat and action, this was honestly better than I anticipated. Dumb and ridiculous, I like it.

[eddyak]

Ben-Tou was amazing.

[Mattias]

I just rewatched it last week on a lark. I completely forgot that they only ever show that one girls breasts, never her face.

[LegalLoliLover]

Unfortunate that she died, but it was nice to see Cordelia apparently get nearly ninja-like combat skills (because apparently you get that from being a dancer) vs. the Marquis.

[Historia]

I completely forgot that they only ever show that one girls breasts, never her face.

They show it in the Blu-Ray. Of course, she's a qt.

I've been reading Gundam Thunderbolt, and re-watching the anime adaptation... I really like it. Reminds me of 08th MS Team -- I really wish we had more Universal Century stories like them.

[Mattias]

Who mixed their ominous plot into my lighthearted Shiroi Experience? An actual antagonist now? Keyblade graveyards full of guitars? Crazy zealots? Shit got heavy.

I still don't know if I'd like to see an anime of it, though. On one hand having a soundtrack would be epic, but on the other hand bad music (or even just unsuited music) would make the whole thing worthless.

[2Bad]

idk where Shiori experience is now but you remember that it starts with her being cursed to die right

[Mattias]

She also has Jimi Hendrix as her Stand. It evens out.
