In regard to an earlier post that searz quoted about Freezing Vibration looking to be more serious, that is true as the manga starts to delve into more than just highschool life and there are many more fights and a pretty deep mulit-layered scheme that Gengo Aoi is implementing. The fanservice element is still going strong which is to be expected 'cause tits bring male viewers who think with certain parts of their anatomy, hopefully this season can actually reflect the quality of the manga and will continue with more seasons because right now in the manga there is enough content to make season 3 and the story doesn't seem to be to close to completion just yet. the story is also developing really well and the plots, the romance aspect is still going slow in the manga though which is annoying.
http://www.mangareader.net/400/freezing.html link to manga if anyone is interested sorry if I have posted the link before.
Eeeeh.. I think you're imagining things here, or blatantly ignoring the many inconsistencies and problems. Freezing doesn't have and probably never will have a good storyline. It's important to note that serious does not equal good.
I mean, come on. It's a manga where the female characters for the great majority of attacks only get their clothes torn and their skin lightly scratched, no matter the weapon, a big sword or pointy object that is obviously meant to be used to pierce things.
Also, don't use mangareader. They have really bad quality on the images there.
Use batoto.net, they're not always the fastest, but they never reduce the quality of the images. I use http://eatmanga.com/ for when I want quicker updates.

I find the image quality satisfactory on mangareader, also I might have been a tad biased by omitting the flaws of Freezing, I never said it was flawless though, also the manga isn't like the anime fanservice wise and this has already been mentioned. Also in the manga there are many serious injuries and often if the clothes get torn unless it was a glancing blow or dodge there will be serious lacerations on the skin, also ignoring the siblings arc, the story after the end of season one delves a lot more into the scientific side of it and the origins of the nova as well as highlighting moral/ethical topics and some quite good character development (even the siblings arc has character development). There still are many flaws and there isn't anything award winning or top notch about it, I'm not sure how much you've read but going by your evaluation I'd say about up to where the anime ends if even that much, because it gets a lot better from there. Still, I suppose we are both too stubborn to relent on our opinion so I'm happy to agree to disagree and go on my merry way liking it with you disliking it.
If I have helped in anyway at all a +rep will be appreciated lots

If that's what you call satisfactory then you either have problems with your eyes or have no standards.
Let's just compare the first single page image their scans have in common:

The images speak for themselves.

Oh I'm pretty sure I got past where the anime stopped. I got to chapter 50 or so. I liked some parts, but they were easily overshadowed by all the problems.
It's a mediocre series at best.

I can control it pretty good most of the time, but when September ends, I just cant hold it in anymore. Whenever Im outside I see my brothers and sisters being chopped into soup, coffee, donuts, cake, drinks, bread - ppl even cut human faces into their skin, making a mockery out of their noble appearance. When I see things like that I cant control my pumpkin urges anymore. My natural instincts kick in. I then sit down motionless, while getting bright orange." - Morgana L

The only difference between the 2 pictures you linked me Searz was the manga reader one was a little duller and the edges a little blurrier, might just be my computer though it has done **** like that before but I do see that the other site has better quality but when it's black and white the only discernible difference is the sharpness of the picture and even then it isn't a massive difference. Also you said you got to chapter 50 or thereabouts right? Chapter 50 is the end of the siblings arc so the background of the nova and Gengo Aoi's plan hasn't been revealed yet but I suppose if a series hasn't gotten that much better in 50 chapters it is fair to think it is bad and I will admit it got good way to late in the series.
Anyway anyone got opinions on the following: Choujigen Game Neptunia (Hyperdimension Neptunia), Haruhi Suzumiya, Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere and Date Alive.

The difference is actually pretty big, but then again, I have better eyesight than most.

The two seasons of the series I've seen aren't very good. There's a movie that might be worth watching(I haven't seen it though), but honestly, the series isn't, in my opinion.

I also watched IS 2 ep 1 and it really, really ****ing annoyed me how it went from the serious season 1 with actual character development to this whole well, we have our characters and their backstory now let's **** it up, still gonna watch it 'cause I have hope that they will bring the quality back.
not sure what the anime is gonna do if it gets this far into the manga since they kinda can't make this anymore explicit but this is pretty much the only time something this adult content is shown in the manga.
