/jp/ - Otaku Culture

We don't take suggestions from black people.

Also, /a/.

I read the manga and it was kinda interesting. I tried to read the light novel and couldn't get into it, though I suspect that was because I read the manga first. (I had the same problem with Zero no Tsukaima, only backwards. I couldn't get into the manga after reading the light novel.).

How does it compare, Jones? Assuming you've read any of the light novel/manga.

In b4 more people complaining about /a/ thread, when there's a Nanoha imagedump a few threads from here.
Also, I agree with OP

PS: I'm sorry you don't like me, "femanon" of /jp/, but that's life. Suck my throbbing Caucasian cock.

I've already dropped.

Shit anime is shit.

If by "great" you mean "another mediocre adaptation of a light novel", then yes, Toradora is great.

>>1612202
I've read neither. Probably will pick up the manga once I'm up to speed, though. The anime is pretty entertaining.

I've been meaning to get into this too. From which sub group should I download from?

>>1612206
I'll just staple your balls to the wall.

toradora? i liked it more when it was called nanaya raping miyako

It's cheap entertainment.

>>1612202
Don't expect an adaptation of the manga, but more of an amalgamation of the novel and manga version. Plus, far more Minori and Ami screen time which pretty much saves this version. Otherwise, it's the animation that fails to convey more action than static black and white drawings.
It's not bad, but it's not the peak of animation. Don't expect much out of it and you'll be happy.

I'm watching gg/qq right now. I did some googlan and it seems the Aero ones are total shit.

Not talking to you brah, talking to the guy who keeps calling me a negro

This show is good, but ends up looking mediocre compared to all the other great stuff out this season. I'm watching 10 shows this season and half of them are top tier. One Outs, After Story, Kannagi, Tytania, and the new season of Nodame Cantabile are all really great.

Since you seem fairly knowledgeable about all this, one more quick question:

As I said before, I had a hard time getting into the light novel after reading the manga. However, I also thought the manga for Zero no Tsukaima was very.. watered down compared to the light novel, and I heard the anime for it was about 10 times worse in that respect.

I can't help but wonder, is Toradora the same? They're rather different types of stories so I'm not sure if it could be comparable.. But anyways, to sum up my question in a way that makes sense:

The light novel for Toradora, better or comparable to the manga? I don't think I gave it enough of a chance before, and I'm not sure if I should go back to it.

I have greatly enjoyed ToraDora so far, and hope that it will continue to be good.

>>1612253
Also, looking again, that question was not quick in the least. Fuck.

>>1612251
Kannagi is okay, not really great. I'll keep watching it, sure, but I think you guys hype it too much. And Zange's the slut, not Nagi, lol.

One Outs? Haha, as if.

Michiko to Hatchin looks promising from what I've read, maybe it's next.

>>1612268
>Haha, as if.

I take it you havn't seen the episodes where they actually start playing baseball yet. This shit is already getting to be as good as Kaiji and Akagi, and knowing the team doing this it's only going to get better.

>>1612253
novel > manga > anime for some
manga > novel > anime if you ask me.
Point is, erase your short term memory, forget anything you saw in the manga, and watch. We raged plenty for the first few episodes, with whole chapters being compressed into a single rushed episode and animation not raising to the occasion for a few select scenes. But it's an adaptation, not following it precisely. The rushed episode was done to introduce Ami earlier and focus on Minori as well. It works well, and I would have been happier if I hadn't read the manga before.
That said, the manga has far better comedy. But it's so damn slow...

My recommendation would be, watch it, try not to rage at how they mangled the streetlight scene.

Sup /a/

>>1612296
Thank you kind sir for your indepth answer.

Dat ass

I don't like watching people getting extremely embarrassed so I hated this episode though there were a few tender moments between Ryuuji and Taiga

>>1612339

This shit is so unspeakably fucking awful that it makes Code Gayass look decent in comparison.

And I just can't think of a worse insult than that.

>>1612564
0/10

It's okay. You're only going to think it's 'great' if you pop a boner every time Rie Kugimiya does her tsundere act.

Shana - Louise - Taiga: SAME FUCKING CHARACTER. Seriously, isn't it getting a little old by now?

>>1612606
Minori and the mom save the series.

>>1612564
This. It really is that bad.

A great anime would be Tytania, what with it originally being a novel by Yoshiki Tanaka (LotGH) and it also having the same director as LotGH. The Toradora anime cannot be called great; it makes stuff like Zero no Tsukaima and Shakugan no Shana look brilliant.

Even stuff like the Vampire Knight second season has a better production staff and is probably more thrilling than Toradora.

>>1612615
>A great anime would be Tytania

>>1612615
It seems you judge animu based on namedropping alone. Tytania is pretty shitty compared to LoGH so far, seeing as it's missing the politics and battles that made the original good. There's only been one fucking battle so far, the characters are thoroughly unlikable, and there's been almost no effort to explain any of the politics yet. Not to mention that the animation itself is pretty mediocre, and would probably lose if you compared it to Tora Dora on production value alone. Sure Tora Dora is a generic high school drama by J.C. staff, but at least it doesn't make itself out to be any more than that.

I love the show, if you don't like tsundere high school romance why bother? If you do like tsundere high school romance like I do, it's your kind of show.

It's not rocket science here.

>>1612622
Hey, mormon_guy, why do you have lewd loli pics on your hard drive? Isn't that a sin?

I am completely neutral on the issue of whether Toradora is shit or not, but there is no excuse for /a/ in /jp/. Knock it off.

I heard Toradora was about a tsundere. I'm sick to death of tsundere. therefore, having never watched a single episode, i can irrefutably and conclusively state that this show and the people who watch it are shit.

>>1612624
Start a debate somewhere else, faggot. We're having a rare discussion about animu here.

>>1612621
>>There's only been one fucking battle so far

Stopped reading there.

>>1612624
I dunno. So long as it's not porn I excuse myself. I honestly don't think anyone will go to hell for abstract pictures of little girls showing panties.

>>1612624
Well that's like, your opinion, man.

>>1612635
'kay, I won't say anything more, then. At least you're not in denial over it.

Resume discussion of Toradora.

>>1612615
So it's shit because you don't like the director?

>>1612621
There was only battle during the first few episodes of LoGH too. However, those episodes had some effort put into fleshing out the characters back stories and the politics, so I'd still agree with you on the other points.

>>1612632
I just realized there was only one battle during the first few episodes of LoGH too. However, my other points still stand.

I'm watching Toradora for cheap laughs, which it delivers. Clannad AS and Index are my go to shows this season, although admittedly I have yet to watch Kannagi, Casshern Sins, or Michiko to Hatchin which may be worthwhile. I should really catch up this weekend.

Minori is love.

Why do I keep seeing /a/ threads in /jp/ lately?

Next season looks pretty meh too.

I'll watch Slayers Evolution-R, I guess. Not because it'll be good (Revolution sure wasn't), but just for nostalgia and because I love Lina. Other than that...I dunno, maybe the new Ippo? Disappointing lineup.

>>1612648
been to /a/ lately?

...toradorable

>>1612648
Because you can't talk about anime on /a/.

>>1612646
Casshern has gotten reallllly slow and moody. I thought they'd pick up with Dio and his friend, but it's still an emo trip at the moment.

Not enough of Casshern going batshit on robots.

>>1612648

athens isn't the only huge faggot in /jp/. When the other huge faggots see him ruining /jp/ with his /r9k/ they figure "hey I could do that too with my board of choice!"

>>1612652
Zoku Natsume Yūjin-Chō will probably be good if they follow the first season well.
