I've finished with my exams, and I have no lectures until September thanks to work placements for the next semester. I guess I should get off my ass and start watching more JoJo and maybe some Capeta.

Shonen= 2long15me
I've already got a backlog and adding 140+ episodes to that list won't help.

The only reason I don't watch Fairy Tail. That and I'm already juggling JoJo, drrrx2, Aldnoah and Psycho-Pass this month. No idea when I'll have enough time for a 200+ episode yarn.

Well, I watched Hunter x Hunter over the course of 2-3 months. Same thing for Space Brothers. I'm not gonna touch the massively longer ones like Bleach though.
 
Shounen worth watching? Gintama. I'm in the middle of second season still. :lol:

Technicolors
Speaking of shounen, I finished Hunter x Hunter a few days ago. Absolutely amazing series. There's no fillers at all.

I've heard this all too well in another forum. I may consider it.

It'll be very worth your time. So much stuff happening in 140 episodes.
 
Aldnoah.Zero 2 ep. 2...

Apparently the Vers are even lying to the Emperor himself that Asseylum is alive and well. Can't blame them really considering his ill state but this is a low for the Martians. Additionally, Lemrina is Asseylum's sister. Not really surprising though considering she has powers similar to Asseylum's. Inaho's cyborg eye is quite something too, looking from that slight comic-relief scene. That sort of analysis will most likely become invaluable in battle. And sadly Inaho will probably become more OP because of it. Speaking of Inaho, Slaine runs into him in the heat of a dogfight. Knowing that Inaho is alive, Slaine will probably plot something to keep him away from Asseylum.

Still liking the soundtrack. The OP and ED are awesome.

I'm tempted to watch Gintama just for the episode where F1 is mentioned.
 
I have been trying to look for a manga that I used to read few years ago. All I remember is that it is about hovercraft racing, similar to that in the Wipeout games. There are also many mentions of real automobile and aeroplane Manufacturers in the story. Any ideas?
 
Again, no its not French it most likely was American or Japanese and to kill confusion, it isn't anime.
 
Stared watching Shingeki-no-Kyojin. Just finished the first episode and i'm kinda speechless right now. No Spoilers But Dear lord with those
Big freak looking titans things
Ep 2 next :)

Welp, I finished watching the 1st Season of Highschool DxD now. Despite the hardcore ecchi, harem and not watching it around people, it's pretty decent and made me chuckle a few times. Onto the 2nd season!

Anime viewing will slow down heaps once varsity starts again so I'm going all in :D

One question however, is it really worth more to read the mangas and light novels than to watch the animes?

Based off one expression Misaka Mikoto made, IIRC. Don't know a name though.

I actually prefer to read the mangas/light novels over their anime adaptations because it's less time consuming.

Like @Not_A_Guest said, the anime adaptations usually don't go into as much depth as the print, due to time restraints and other obvious reasons.

I would watch the anime adaptations for the bouncing bosoms or other things I have trouble putting into motion. Mostly the bouncing bosoms, though. :sly:
 
Shinshiki
Been tempted too. Just can't quite get myself to sit in for the long haul of 150+ episodes.

Yeah but it's all slapstick comedy, so a good time to play it is if you're multitasking in front of a computer, or when you don't need to devote all your attention to the screen. Been doing that for a whole season. Didn't feel like a chore.

It's more funnier than Nichijou too.

Depends on the series also. The anime is sometimes really different from the manga and light novels.
 
A lot of VN-based anime I've sen tend to cut out content because it was either pointless or too much to keep. Clannad (most likely) skipped out content when doing the routes of Fuko and Kotomi. Kyou and Tomoyo had a single OVA devoted to their arc only. Ryou got nothing. Who needs Ryou anyway.

Grisaia, I don't even need to go into the atrocious adaptation of Grisaia. If you can tell me you can condense over 80 hours of the VN into thirteen 22-minute episodes without pulling something out of your rear, I'd be impressed.

Ufotable adapted the 1st half of UBW extremely well, but it's ufotable we're talking about. However, even they can't adapt everything from the VN. Same case for Western films that are based on books.

Don't you find it hard to keep up with the subs while doing something else though?
