Manga/Anime You Read/Watch

[quote=XeresAce]Anyone seen Your Lie in April? Thinking of watching it, seems like it'll stab me right in the feels :<[/quote]

[quote=Bioalchemist]^ the plot actually sounds pretty compelling. regarding nisekoi...outside of the animation quality itself being decent it is really just another harem with a touch or originality due to the whole gang/yakuza thing. i won't be watching the second season. glad you liked 'Ben-To' ichi.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]I recently got wind of a couple of really great animated shorts. I thoroughly recommend watching them. One is even made my Mr.Shikai, the lord and savior of anime :) [spoiler=Animated shorts][h1][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfbNS_GKhPw]Linking this one so that you can turn on subtitles. This one is from Makoto Shinkai. Man I love his animation.[/h1] [embed=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsOI_5ftUJc] [embed=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Cw7aAFS5oc] [embed=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsWgrf3XLKQ] [embed=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IUX0Qy-IDM][/spoiler] Heads up for the scam called Devil's Legacy. TL;DR of the situation is that some jackass has started a possibly fraudulent kickstarter campaign where they're obviously lying about several things, using horrible grammar, yet promising grammatically correct subs for the animated short, outsourcing animation work to the phillipines and trying to avoid paying voice actors. The animation also looks like shit, on top of all the rest.[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]"The video was removed by the user" Would you mind sharing what it was about? All I can find is that it's a kickstarter and that there was some fuss at /a/.[/quote]

To be fair, he was definitely right.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Edited the comment with links to all the shorts, plus a short summary of the Devil's Legacy stuff. [quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]It was a really [i]pretentious [/i] weaboo who spent 15 minutes detailing how a short anime he was watching wasn't very good. To be fair, he was definitely right.[/quote] I wouldn't call him pretentious, but I would call him weaboo :) Also, he raised a lot of legitimate concerns regarding the legitimacy of the campaign.[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]I watched one of the shorts. Not sure what to think about them yet. They look amazing but there's so little story xD Which is pretty obvious of course considering the small time-frame. Have any of you been following Death Parade? I just watched the first episode and I have no idea what to think about it.[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]Sheez... I think that the title reeks of utter crap but, really, these two episodes... Pretty sad that I don't know a single thing about Buddhism. [spoiler=ep 1-2 spoilerinos]Does anyone know what that "void" is? Is it good or bad to be sent there? I always thought that "souls" had to be reborn until they were ready to "die" or something, but apparently rebirth is something like "heaven" in Jewish-like religions? Also, what's your judgment about the two people? What do you think is supposed the right one by the author, if there ever was intended to be a right one? I'd have sent the woman to "heaven"(which is rebirth?) for sure. I also thought that the man would never be able to trust someone properly(as the God-like creature says in the end of ep. 2), but I'm not sure where I would've sent him. Well he tried to kill the woman in the end so I guess I'd sent him to "hell". Though I'm pretty sure that the woman would've killed the man too if she had the chance, and hadn't figured out that they were dead already. Interesting. Still kind of afraid that it's a dubble-layered story and that the "assistant" is the one being judged at the moment, or that the story doesn't even take place in the "afterlife".[/spoiler][/quote]
