Death Parade's finally on Hulu so guess I'm watching it tomorrow because I watched a bunch of Akagi tonight.

I hate being a week behind on everything Funimation gets but I'm not giving them $5 to use their lovely player. :colbert:

I enjoyed OP back when I still cared about reading shounen manga but I don't think I have the fortitude for 600 chapters of anything anymore, no matter how good it is.

I attend a convention for my job (drug prevention) that is often scheduled directly before Katsucon at the same hotel. A few years ago when there was all that snow and DC was more or less shut down, nobody from our convention could get any flights home so they got to see the con attendees roll in with their costumes. Watching a bunch of uptight anti-drug people boggle at cosplay was worth being stuck there for a couple extra days.

i stopped reading the titan manga when eren, bert, ernie, and the tall lesbian (who all can turn into titans btw) were sitting in a tree for like 3 chatpers talking about nothing

I stopped maybe 3 chapters after that, decided to wait until things maybe started getting resolved before I picked it up again (never).

I just can't do dubs anymore for most stuff, just things like the second VHD movie or maybe Hellsing because I kinda still love hearing Crispin Freeman chew up all the scenery as Alucard.

I'd be up for a watch of Kaiba. I gave it a shot a while back but wasn't really in the mood for it so something a little more organized with some discussion might help me stick with it.

crunchyroll is making it so that you get all their manga as part of a regular membership, which is very good

Oh nice. I only follow Kiss Him Not Me so it was never worth it to get a manga subscription for one title but if I let a chapter slip behind the paywall I had to burn a trial to get caught up and that was annoying.

"Hey, this kid was in an accident. What should we do?"

"Let's just put some organs from this random girl he was near inside him."

That was about as far as I got into the manga and based on that never bothered with the anime.

You need premium to watch Mononoke but there's quite a bit of stuff that's up for free users (watch House of Five Leaves it is my favorite show and at the very bottom of the popularity-sorted list :cry: ).

Slayers is like all those fantasy novels I read in high school that I remember fondly and with a lot of nostalgia but can never revisit because they were actually pretty bad.

In the case of Slayers it's more that it has aged really poorly like almost all late 90s anime.

Hey, for the people in here, I have a question. How do you all afford your anime/related goods, I mean I signed a contract to become a ~magical sailor~, but what about you all.

I have a job.

Also I only pay for streaming and buy manga with credit card points earned through work-related spending that I get reimbursed for.

I wish I could go back in time and prevent myself from buying so many manga series, series that even if I wound up liking alot them I'd wind up only reading them once with no where to put them except boxes in the basement. At least with DVDs I can throw out the cases and put the disks into a sleeve which doesn't take up a lot of space.

I mostly buy physical copies of manga to support authors I really like and also to offset the massive amount I read online. I've been meaning to load a bunch up and donate it to the local library or something to get it out of my house though.

But seriously, there are worse series to do this with. Man, I seriously hope Ore Monogatari!!'s anime adaptation is as awesome as Chihayafuru.

I just hope the inevitable shoujo anime budget it gets doesn't end up turning people off.

Holding out hope for a third season is the only reason I haven't read the manga yet. I don't want to spoil the tension of not knowing how each match is going to turn out.

Is there a rule that all Berserk adaptions have to retell the Golden Arc? I haven't managed to watch the movies because after watching the first anime and reading the manga I don't really want to go over it again. I was pretty excited when the movies first came out but that died off when I realized all three movies were set in the Golden Arc instead of moving past it at all.

Hulu has a ton of anime. There's a bunch of recent Funimation stuff in particular (which makes it a good alternative to their lovely player if you can access them). Most of their simulcasts end up there on a week delay and as far as I know they never pull them down. The genre page is also helpfully grouped so you can just browse action or new or popular or whatever.
