I REFUSE IT'S LIKE WATCHING BABY PORN

No, I refuse.

Does that girl in the middle have twintails?

Literally the worst thread ever created on /jp/

No.

Get out Megatokyo devs.

Is that still going?

Damn, I haven't read that shit since what?
03-04?

Either way no, I stopped reading for a reason.

Do people bump shit threads to see if they can annoy people when they are also adverse to the topic? I'm not sure what the reasoning is behind it otherwise.

You guys worried you'll fall off the wagon or something?

How about: what was the last thing you remember happening in the comic. I remember a crossdresser was about to fight Largo. He was doing that thing where you have a bodysuit and a mask of the character's face. There's a word for it, I think. Starts with a k.

Gasp! Who's this mysterious girl in Piro's abode? Is it Miho? Could be! That schoolgirl had dark hair too, though, maybe. And who was he talking about at the beginning of the page? Possibly Miho again, or maybe one of the other girls! His insistence on only using pronouns means I don't know for sure.

Man, their first couple of chapters were pretty amusing.

Once "Largo" stopped writing the whole thing went to shit.

I wonder if Ed's face has changed again!

First it was ugly,
then it was paper,
then it was pretty!

Craziness!

>>5470727
yea

there were less than 50 MT strips posted in the year 2009.

I stopped reading this shit years ago and I'm happy about it.

Everyone here is too 'cool', I'm betting.

Whatever. I do not respect this affectation.

I read it when it first came out, and stopped shortly after it stopped being a gag comic. ...because I was a child, and gag comics were what I liked on the web.

I read the whole thing again last year, and although I miss the simple jokes, they're not as good as I remember, and I have some affection for the characters and some interest in how they will develop.

Piro mocks himself, so I don't see any need to mock him. He's all right, and I look forward to letting enough of the comic queue build up that I can read through again and see what he's doing.

I haven't really kept up on any continuity based webcomics. I'm three years behind on Kagerou, two months behind on Digger, two years behind on Venus Envy, and I'll probably never return to Something Positive even though I remember enjoying it. There are at least a dozen others that I 'follow' by visiting them every few years.

Of them, Megatokyo may not be as good as a very good manga, but it's as good as a pretty good manga and as good as a very good webcomic.

Anon just hates on it because

a) It's not edgy (nsfw) enough
b) it's popular
c) Anon is afraid they'll become the worst kind of weaboo if they like anything that weaboo like. Ever.

Whatever.

I learned something last year: Normalfags, even of the internet generation, apparently have no idea what Megatokyo is. I always thought it was so popular that they would know. <shrug>

>>5471295
No, I hate it because Fred is a fucking douche. Also his "story" has always been all over the place.

>implying MT is popular.
>implying people hate it because it's "popular" and not because it's shit and its artist is even more shit.

I still read megatokyo. I've been doing it for so long I just can't stop

> IF YOU WERE EVER A MEGATOKYO READER

/a/ is that way ---->

I'm disappointed, there's no huge surprise. It's just a normal comic. I don't know who that person is in his house I haven't read MT since 2004

Character pages still aren't update, hah.

>>5471497
>>5471254
wow
He's sitting on a goldmine and he has always run it so sloppily, that's just ungrateful really.

I stopped reading this because Piro wouldn't fuck the main girl. They got to a point where they could fuck. They didn't fuck. I know they still haven't fucked, so I'm not bothering.

>>5471532
Is everything about fucking to you, Anonymous?

>>5471540
It's my pet peeve in harem and love comedies that they spend the entire series attracted to each other and never fuck even after years and years. Piro isn't even an unsure teenager. He's a goddamn grown man. They don't have to do anything but allude to it but acting like that is unbelievable after a point.

>>5470548
Is this what you really wanted me to see, OP?

It's better than wildarmsheero. But it's still shit.

I kinda credit it for introducing me to what visual novels were to some extent. Also explained to me some Japanese honorifics.

It was kinda cool around chapter 6. But eventually I just stopped caring because the plot kept on moving on without answering any questions and leaving no time for interesting character reactions. And some character personalities have gone way out proportion.

Last good thing was Miho crying her eyes out in that one scene.

But hey, I don't hate the artist. If he has fans, good for him.

>>5471813
He's awfully fond of drawing crying ladies.

>>5472005
He's used to getting that response from women

I've actually never read this thing, mostly because the drawing looked like ass and the guy misspelled トウキョウ. What is it supposed to be? An e-comic strip?

5 years or more, i stopped because it stopped being a web comic and started being a "wanna be manga with story"

The art didn't improve at all... it's still just as bad, I bet the creator didn't lose a kilo and is still a fat ass, this is him in the picture right? Or maybe not I can't remember how he looks.

Anyways this is by no way popular and hated because it's popular, it's because every single C grade manga has better art and story composition, he'd be THE LAUGH in japan or more like he'd never even continue there...

Oh also I don't remember how is it read again left/right or right/left.

Anyways just like ALL WEBCOMICS that become "popular" a stray from the fact that their web comics like "alt+ctrl+del" they become utter shit. If I want a webcomic about VIDEO GAMES i expect it to be about VIDEO GAMES.

You know this doesn't belong here. Reported etc.

I'm still reading It. And I don't even know why.
I actually liked It when It was about wacky adventures of Largo and his sidekick in Gintama Country.
And then Largo quit allowing Fred to make some DRAMA.
I'm still hoping that this chapter is one-shot drama arc.
Kinda like Bleach and Old Bleach.
Or... Fuck I dunno

Yeah, I became less interested in this after Largo quit and was made into a cartoon cutout character. Don't remember when I stopped, but I don't really care to pick it up again. Also, wasn't he trying to start up another more serious series called "Warmth" or something like that? Did it ever pick up?

I've been reading it since it started. I don't know why, though. I keep wishing the story would progress and resolve some plot threads, and as another poster commented, I think that Piro should knock socks with his girlfriend since the strip has been going on for years and years.

Unless you're using cg or sprites, you're supposed to get better at drawing Fred.
So fuck off and spend some time learning how to draw.

>>5472603
>And I don't even know why.
>Bleach

It's because you have shit taste.

I stopped reading a few months after Largo left the scene. The fucking web comic just got so full of itself, trying to be so DEEP AND EMOTIONAL

Shit drove me nuts. I'm fine with a dramatic and emotionally gripping plot, but there just wasn't any of that here. The plot just didn't seem to know what to do with itself. It wanted to make silly sexual tension between characters for no fucking reason, it wanted to make a "villain" whose worst crime was hacking the shit out of an MMO or something, and none of it amounts to fucking anything because everyone just keeps going about their daily lives, piling on the sexual tension day after day

It was so fucking inane. I don't know how people still read it other than force of habit

I used to read Megatokyo like 10 years ago.

Then I helped /b/ raid Megatokyo like 5 years ago.

Good times, good times...

>>5470548
They have scary frog faces in OPs pic, and it's all pathetic Japanophile pandering. It's just another nation, you fags. It's not anime land.

>>5472681
I used to think Fred should've just dropped this whole thing and done Warmth a long time ago.
Maybe it would have let him grow as an artist instead of being stagnated by his 14-year old audience.
Not I'm really not so sure. It might have suffered from all the same problems.
So no, he never did it.
Which is bizarre, I mean, I don't think he has a real job outside of drawing, does he?

>>5472868

What was Warmth even supposed to be about, anyway? I know he never got around to concrete details, but I remember him talking about his ideas for it sometimes from when I used to read megatokyo

Sad girls in snow.
Seriously. He only thought of it when he was still a youth and had probably just found out about Air.
It was just his take on traditional Key-esque visual novel tropes.
Many of which he later tried to integrate into MT anyway, to great failure more or less.
