RadishTM Veteran Posted November 30, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 30, 2009 Anyone have some slapstick comedy or light hearted anime that won't be a waste of time? Genshiken or Sora no Manimani.

deletedxyz Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 ...Sora no Manimani.Radish? Thanks. I just finished reading Push Man. What an absurd manga... It's supposed to be slice of life of the dark side of Japanese society but it's just downright awful. The stories span eight pages and require almost no intelligence to understand the vacuous, "fill in the blank" situations. 2/10 - Sorry excuse of a manga series... Either that or the manga has not managed to stand the test of times since it was published (1967).

RadishTM Veteran Posted December 1, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2009 Another beautiful episode of Kimi no Todoke (Y) Ayane was really funny in this and Kurumi's character was kinda cute as she opened up (just hope she doesn't rain on Sawako's parade :/). But as always Sawako just takes the cake being so considerate with the feelings of others (especially when she missed kicking the football :rofl:) and how friendships work, falling in love innocently :wub: FMA: Brotherhood was good as well (Y) Wonder what trick Olivier has up her sleeve to take down Sloth, he sounded familiar .... Turns out it's Kenpachi's seiyu as well :D Radish?

deletedxyz Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) I always wondered about my fascination for romance stories. Is it the interesting drawings that make the female characters appealing or maybe the tomboy features or maybe I like strong relationships in general that can last? I found the answer. While looking through all the "romance" manga and anime I have, I only rate the ones that have a strong female protagonist who can do well without depending on a male character. The sense of independence and confidence is rare to come across. From Yukino Miyazawa (Kare Kano) and Eureka (Eureka Seven) to the more mature Marlene Angel (Blue Gender), Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell) and Haruka Mishima (RahXephon), they all are strong, independent women that are attractive (in terms of art) and stray away from the "dumb yet cute" stereotype that many can find in this genre. I finally found out that it wasn't because of the high school setting or the sense of immaturity but the portrayal of women as attractive objects on pedestals and thick headed male companions that make me rage and make me wish that I had a physical copy that I could break in half or burn. Examples: Any girl from Hatsukoi Limited, Kimikiss, Love Hina. Want to know the worst example? Bitter Virgin. The mangaka portrays an extremely unfortunate girl who survived childhood rape and abuse as some pity story that deserves sympathy and pressure us to root for the naive male protagonist. Rape and emotional problems seem to be the key scenarios in almost every shoujo or seinen manga. The question posed for every female character in these types of manga is "Does the female character seem impervious to sexism, intimidation, drama and not easy to get?" and the answer always is "Let's put the female character through pregnancy or rape or both!" I've seen several manga and anime series fall to this. I can still remember how much I wanted to just a complete mind-numbing experience when I read the last two volumes of a then-decent sports manga about running. It's such a pity that one must wade through so much garbage to find the gems in this genre. /realizes that I have experienced the equivalent of swimming through several manga and anime series that can be comparable to Twilight Edited December 1, 2009 by maskedforever Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/702580-official-animemanga-thread/page/123/#findComment-591917710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletedxyz Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) What I made from reading Zero (manga) found here (http://myanimelist.net/manga/3885/Zero): Zero can be summed up as a clone of X-Men except all the powers are measured in G forces (WTH?!), powerful super models with anger issues and a huge fetish for domestic abuse and fighting and helpless women who seem to have been taken out super model magazines... 3/10 - Dropped for immaturity and writing similar to that of most high school freshmen.

Don't get me started on Bible Black. All I remember was a torture scene with many women in leather and #$@#$ @#$@ !@#!@#%(^%$. I thought it was an anime series at first because it was highly rated on an anime site a few years back. Wasn't I in for a surprise... T_T I was asking for recommendations that were NOT eroge. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/702580-official-animemanga-thread/page/123/#findComment-591918114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenut Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Finally started Blue Gender. Grabbed it when I said "I'll get it asap" but I just haven't had time until now to watch. Only watched the first episode so I don't want any spoilers :p but I like it so far. Just hope I can watch it regularly and finish it quickly.
