Chatterbox - Anime & Manga

I recently listening to one of Kalafina's song called Hikari no Senritsu, the song that played for opening of Sora no Woto... Truly a beautiful and underrated song. But sadly, the band is officially disbanded

Not sure one can say that the opening of Sora no Woto is underrated, or its soundtrack in general. This series is quite popular, and especially noticed for its soundtrack (and production values in general).

(That being said, this might be my favorite opening).

Yeah... Sora No Woto opening is lit

Did you ever read a Light Novel manga adaptation so good that make you want to go and read the Light Novel? My was When Hikaru was on earth.

Re Zero, of course.

Not a manga, but watching the first season of Haruhi Suzumiya convinced me to pick up the light novels and I marathoned them.

I'm currently watching Shaman King. Manta is pretty cute and I kind of laugh on some of the antiques in there. I'm still at Episode 28 and hopefully I can finished it until Friday. Also, the first theme song is great

Shaman King. I used to watch this show back on Fox Box. Back when Fox used to show cartoons on Saturdays. It was a pretty cool show. And yes, the theme song is awesome.

Pretty much every anime or manga based on a light novel that I have watched/read has made me want to read the original books but, even if I haven't got around to it yet, but then I am something of a completest.

The cheesiest but awesomest moment you ever read?

My is in a Light Novel called Hikaru ga Chikyuu ni Itakoro....... The main character have a harem king ghost friend that ask him to fulfill the promise the ghost make with his girls. This particular girl dislike the main character from the start of the series and find his annoying when he try to fulfill the ghost promise with her. Through circumstance, they participate in a calligraphy contest that will determinate a family inheritance issue. the host make the contest wanted the girl to win by asking the main character for help( he good at calligraphy). But the girl hate he main character so she trick him to a faraway hill while she go through with the contest. When she almost failed against the antagonist, the main guy bust through the front door( he actually have a very scary appearance), told her to get a hold of herself, take the girl place, write childish words that both reminded her of the ghost and encourage her and the host to keep moving forward, the main character then turn to accused and prove that the host grand children were poisoning her slowly. It was so cheesy but every second i read it it send joy all over my body.

For anyone in London from 23rd May to 26th August, the British Museum is having a Manga exhibition

From AnimeJapan 2019, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. anime is getting a new Netflix-exclusive series!

Ah must be continuing off the last OVA where his psyhic powers returned after he got rid of them.

And people are already up in arms on the possibility that if it gets a dub, it won't bring in the original Funimation cast, like they did with EVA.

Don't know if anyone cares, but I started watching Attack on Titan a while ago, from the beginning.

It's actually alright as decent popcorn action.

It only really lives up to the hype, in my opinion, during the third major arc, or in anime terms the 3rd season.

Until then, it is a good action anime, just not groundbreaking.

Are you talking about the kingdom revolution arc? Cause that’s amusingly the least well-regarded arc of the series.

Think what you will of AOT, but it is pretty brutal.

Really? I thought it was cool. Historia's hot blooded moments and some of the minor characters making comebacks and minor contributions made me watch that part over and over.

I said least well-regarded. Doesn’t mean it’s bad, just that some aren’t receptive to it compared to other parts.

Reasons include lack of Titans & going on for a wee bit too long while.

Personally, I appreciated the political focus over the Titans and the Character Development of Eren and Historia.

Besides, the arc after that one more than makes up for the lack of Titans.

I do agree it was overlong, though.

Welp, looks like I got a rollercoaster ride to look forward to, then.

What version of Revolutionary Girl Utena should I look at first, the manga or the anime?

The anime is the original. The manga is just a licensed adaptation.

The manga adaptations of Ikuhara shows tend to be pretty different stories. They can be interesting in their own rights, but they're not going to be what people are talking about

I guess I'll watch the anime first.
