 i don't get this reference but i imagine it's the equivalent of someone trying to lay low by dressing like Arnold in T1

kinda. the most obvious things to note about him that you might know from an english context are that he inspired some pretty famous characters like kenshiro and spike spiegel, and he was used as the likeness for the main character of onimusha 2. maybe he'll appear in the miike onimusha anime

I want to read 'Mandate of Heaven' so badly but it is just a fictional series within a manga. This angers me greatly.

i finished it and it's alright. i would probably like it better if i got more than half of the 80s references. would recommend I guess. the art is cute and stylish.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:I'm absolutely not secretive about my love of the 80s Me neither. Well, not anymore. I don't really dress like it but I'm not shy about admitting I'm fond of most of its music. That certainly wasn't the case in the 90's. Knowing that I loved Tears For Fears and Madonna would not have gone over well with my post-grunge/alt-rock peers. So I kept it to myself while also enjoying 90's alt-rock.

Everyone just grew up listening to the same channels, because it's not like we had a lot of choice about it. On the other hand, hindsight probably suggests that they weren't your peers if they weren't ready to accept you for who you were then. Larry Parrish posted:Yeah. Same.  It's already on my wish list, though - but thanks for mentioning it! I found that Collectors by Nishi Uko finished scanlation about half a year ago - and I've been waiting for that approximately since it started in 2009, so I've jumped in with both feet.

Insomniacs After School is ongoing and the scanlator tends to wait for the volumes to be released, so there's usually a few months wait between chapters.

Watching Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible and it's super cute! A very much turned-up series premise of the everyday "self-insert" nothing male character (AKA: The Tenchi Muyo's of the world), but instead, has a presence that is completely ignored and invisible to everyone EXCEPT the girl who's popular and cute (and apparently likes him?!). It's very romantic, slice-of-life. The art is simple but satisfying. I gotta say though, as a side note, the music, voice-acting, and sound effects really relax me. It's like head scritches, only audibly.

I just finished Tsun-Ama na Kareshi. It's an incredibly sweet series about a couple where the boyfriend is a bit of a tsundere - but unlike other portrayals of that stereotype, this one seems much more tolerable since it's not the only personality trait he has. It's also one of those good series that start with the couple already dating, and follows their life from there - ie. the good parts.

SexyBlindfold posted:Speaking of one-note, just saw the first ep of Ice Guy and Cool Colleague and I guess it's pretty cute but they should have kept it as shorts. It doesn't hold up well as 5 bite-sized bits strung together into an episode, especially when half of them are the same thing. Gave this one the 3-episode test and it does get better. Wouldn't call it outstanding in its field, but with improved pacing it's fairly decent fluff. Romcoms with adult characters are already in short supply, so I think I'll stick with this one.

Watching Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible and my goodness, it's SO CUTE! I love the male, MC, how earnest and kind he is, what a good big bro he is, and how quickly he falls prey to Kubo teasing him. This is such a sugary sweet shoujo.

The anime so nice, you posted it twice. Sounds like something I'd like a lot and I've noted it for the future when I subscribe to HiDive. Also bookmarked the manga on MD.

I just finished reading Ase to Sekken by Yamada Kintetsu (same mangaka also works on Telework Yotabanashi, which was linked not too long ago ITT). It's a very delightful slice of life series with a good romance plot that doesn't do the usual love triangle nonsense just for the sake of drama, yet still has enough angst to satisfy people who need that in their stories. It's also like a lot of other works in its "genre" where there's some sort of fetish that plays a role throughout the story, but I think in this one it's handled exceptionally well, as it's not the big thing that other manga make it into. I also like that the series doesn't just end with them getting together or getting married, but there's a couple of really good chapters that show their life after marriage. Definitely worth a read, and I look forward to reading the other work that the mangaka is still working on.

Another week, more updates for Yamada Kintetsu's series Kasane and Subaru Chapter 9 Telework Yotabanashi Chapter 12: Scheduling  No punches pulled here. BlankSystemDaemon posted:Definitely worth a read, and I look forward to reading the other work that the mangaka is still working on. Across her three series I think one big thing is that communication is key, in fact both recent chapter updates for her current serializations highlight this. People are willing to just talk things out instead of letting misunderstandings and misgivings build up into a different type of drama. But I can still expect, like in Sweat and Soap, that there will be some instances where each couple has issues communicating something specific. For Telework there is the issue that the Nokoro still hasn't had to clarify Izumi's professor as someone she's not into, if that even matters going into the future. And For Kasane The utter denail she has about admitting her feelings. It's not like it's earth shattering that the power of open communication averts a lot of drama but I think it stands out here along having proactive persons/people in a relationship.

Brought To You By posted:Funny enough I am re-reading Ase to Sekken (have the last two volumes to go) and it's greatly appreciated how little fat an 11 volume romance story can have and how strong the chemistry between the two becomes. I did have some reservations picking that story up initially because it was advertised to me as a fetish series and the first chapter could have veered into less comfortable waters. Gladly that concern was squashed very quickly. I know I've made no bones about not liking it when series don't do communication properly, but conversely I don't mind if there's some drama, so long as there's also communication and every bit of the drama isn't caused by miscommunication. I look forward to the time in the future when both of her ongoing series are finished being scanlated (or better yet, officially translated) so that I can read them.
