Since the board is slow, (and my adhd stuggle to post on near-dead boards), let's do a general discussion thread of what you've been reading/watching.
Similar to the /tv/ thread on hobby.
I'll start:
Manga: Kingdom
It's alot of fun, currently on chapter 430.
Despite the restriction of it being in the past, there's alot of strategy/complication that makes it interesting to read.
And the manga is fun in the fact that it has shoenin level power clashing and hyping of characters – but still respects reality.
Like a character being healed after a fight is explained by months or even years of a time skip, or when situations where "talk-no-jutsu" would've occurred in shoenin, instead the person ranting is just meant to understand the world more before they die.
I am reading some others as well, like: Vinland Saga, One Piece, Watamote, and a few others – just been alittle addicted to Kingdom.
(I should catch up with One Piece though.. I'm 110 chapters behind with it).
Anime on the other hand, nothing.
Though I've been feeling nostaligic for Bobobo, will probably watch in half a years time.
Also if this thread has alot of replies, pin it as a thread to update in when you visit the board.
>>20967What chapter are you on?
Since Kingdom just gets better and better the longer you read it.
The only draw back is you need to pace yourself since you can burn yourself out.
Same situation with One piece
>>20969Yeah One piece is great.
Alittle warning: the anime adaption switches from 2/3 chapter adaption rate to 1 around "Water 7".
Oh also, since you've finished all the source material, you can now watch None Piece (the best abridged series ever made).
Since episodes 5 and 9 were taken down by youtube, you can either:
>Watch all the re uploaded videos in one playlist<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmZefBAUgQXH6fz9iFM3zLAd4zNUSbvYo
>Watch all the episodes using the original playlist and seperate links to episode 5 and 9<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCSJwlYqwIU&list=PL072C7B6DD9506FBB&index=2<(episode 5) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGyC61afYc4<(episode 9) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tof8eKndkg4
>I’m also currently reading Houseki no kuniInteresting, why that manga?
Never heard of it personally.
>I’m also also reading JojolandsI haven't read through part 8 yet, so I'm gonna hold off. (Maybe I'll wait for the color versions to be done).
What's part 9 like in theme?
For example: 2, Indiana Jones; 4, slice of life + murder mystery; 5, Gangster; etc.
>>20974Jojolands is a mystery, like pretty much all jojo parts, but this one is about a mc who is more materialistic than others. It’s hard to say what it’s like right now since there has been only 1 real fight and we don’t even really know all the context yet.
I guess one could say that it’s about small time criminals who got themselves into something too big for their own good
“Interesting, why that manga?
Never heard of it personally.”
Houseki is pretty great in my opinion. It’s hard to say what exactly got me into it, I think it’s the the desire to see how characters change, I can’t really say much, but the main idea of the Houseki is that we get to see how immortal beings with no real concept of death live and change; while at the same time the audience is trying to understand the situation that made the world what it is, you should check it out it’s pretty good and emotional.
>>20963i've been reading Akagi, great manga about mahjong and gambling, after the anime i had to start reading the manga for the conclusion
and on the anime side, i'm going to start K-on, seems like a fine addition to my moe collection
>>23643Started playing mahjong for Yakuza, stayed for Akagi.
Fulumoto really knows how to turn a game old Japanese women play into a blood pumping shounen.
>>23644Yea it's so good! I want to read other mangas he made too, they all seem very good. Probably will watch Kaiji soon too.
>Japanese women play into a blood pumping shounenparadise!
>>23643 (me)
watched the first episode of K-on, looks fun and chill, characters are cool and the animation is nice too
>>23830thank u! i also like music stuff so i'll probably enjoy a lot. (i play the keyboard)(literally mugi)
>>23831because it's cute also
>>23832 :)
>>23833i didn't watched it but the characters look fun and all the atmosphere seems comfy, also pic related reminds me of Alunya.
i think i'll put it on my watch/read later too
>>28222>>28225Sounds cool.
Is it first person or third person pov?
Also what's the prose like?
>>20963I'm reading Ajin: Demi Human.
It's quite good. It's about people who can't die, their dehumanisation by the state and human medical experimentation by the state and capitalist institutions.
