Re: Quest: Clear The Salt Mine!

Re: Quest: Clear The Salt Mine!

Well I guess I discussed different topics with Sky way more often than with you, so he has kind of a headstart :XD Well we used to have some tl;dr talks in the past too, you filled that hole perfectly :kappa

Re: Quest: Clear The Salt Mine!

Well you managed to make a relativel short post out of that, so I will try too :kappa

Ofc they're mostly recently, people started looking at the manga when they heard the anime is ending soon, which was like 10 weeks ago or so :XD Still I think you would be surprised about how many people there are who don't read the manga or haven't until recently.

Yeah, that's true. I think they did a near perfect job with the anime (excluding the while Kite deal), not to mention it's almost three times longer than FMA. Keeping that level of quality and animation for so long is a great task and shows how much they cared for the show.

Indeed, it's heavily overrated. One Piece is overrated in general though, the hype around it always was beyond me. I think it's just like I pointed out with the adventure series though, One Piece simply is the most well known nowadays and people just don't know of the many other great series out there. And with that many people there's bound to be lots of blind fanboyism, it's way worse than Hunter x Hunter. Which reminds me, do you still use MAL?

Not sure I would compare a book to manga. Who knows how GRRM would do if he had to release a chapter weekly, or maybe Kishi would do amazing if he had all the time of the world to come up with a coherent story too. Obviously that's nothing more than speculation, but I find books and manga to be entirely different media and hardly comparable.

Perfection doesn't exist anyway, you can find flaws with everything :XD
I know what you mean, coming up with your own original work or adapting something that's way harder to adapt in a good way (like Steins;Gate) holds kind of more "value". I think it's more than fair to give FMA a high rating, I did too, because we don't really judge how hard it was for the staff to animate the series but rather how much fun we had/how we rate the overall work. It's certainly true that I value original series or stuff like Steins;Gate more highly but I don't give them a better rating (or a worse to the other series) because of that. A great work is a great work, that's what matters the most. I mean we're fans who simply want to have a good time, not some critics who have to analyze every minor thing xD In case it wasn't clear, I agree with you, just saying ;)
Learn, this is how u do it mate :kappa

Fair enough, I guess the anime got a lot of hype around the end of Chimera Ant Arc like the manga did. No doubt Gon's Super Saiyan mode caused hype just like in the manga!

Yeah it's more impressive. Too bad about Kite, but it's understandable due to their circumstance like you said.

OP = Overrated club!! WHOOOOHOOO. Use MAL? I use it to browse, find anime etc. I don't update my list really. What's the point you nerds just laugh! 8)

No I just meant their "plan ethic". GRRM likes to use the analogy of architect vs gardener. Kishi is more of a gardener. Arakawa more of an architect. He knows what he wants to do in broad strokes but makes up a lot of the "lesser details" from moment to moment. I think for exmaple the Kaguya thing was made up and perhaps suggested/forced by the editors. I hope he clarifies it when the series ends. The reason I say this is because for example Tenten found the Rikudou Tools, they were clearly given panel time and foreshadowed importance. Madara spat them out etc. Yet they were NOT USED. Do you see the problem here? To me it seems like he planned on use them to seal Mads away, but instead he choose to give Naruto/Sasuke their own seal method etc. We can't be sure how much was "changed" from his original plan, but I think the reason that part was so poor was because he might've gone away from what he had planned. Anyway long example, FML.

Yeah I see your point. I don't really give higher/lower ratings myself based on adaptation method/source material etc. But I think it's fair to say it was easier to adapt.

I did so well until the plan ethic point...

but it's no fun if people respond with a short oneliner :gwah

Well yeah, but the hype already started with Yorkshin. You are the only person I can think of who kind of "bashed" it or didn't regard it highly, usually everyone has a high opinion of that arc.
Another opposite case would be that many people complained about Alluka being just too hax and that it destroys power levels bla bla.

I remember that I was really glad to find someone who's sharing my opinion about OP being highly overrated. Yeah, I'm talking about you :kappa
Aww come on man, update your MAL :(

Yeah, that's a good example :nod My point was that you said Kishi is inferior in storytelling, that's why I said that comparing books and manga isn't something I approve of and that Kishi might do better if he wrote a book. Only a possibility ofc.

I agree with that statement.

And did you just ignore the Drrr video? Okay mate, brb crying in a corner!

Re: Quest: Clear The Salt Mine!

I didn't bash it, I just found elements of it less appealing. I still like Phantom Troupe more than Ants. I liked the feel of that arc more than I did any other arc. For example such ost very amaze. "Uvo-san can you hear us? We are playing a requiem for you." :kreygasm

Well I liked Alluka as a personality, but I did say I found her power hyper super duper ultra convenient and I could understand why people disliked the fact such a power existed. I kind of agree. Definition of deus ex.

Same :kappa

Uh, but what's the point? :XD

Wow that's a really slim possibility, an impossibility :XD But yeah comparing such mediums is pointless.

The salt :kappa

It's not very different to be honest. But that song is :kreygasm anyway.

Speaking of FMA niichan, just remembered this one :kreygasm It was suggested when I finished listening to Trust Me DRRR ED :zomg

BTW regarding the old FMA anime discussion. This alone made it worth watching. Seriously what a beautiful soundtrack. I used to spam it so much and I knew every word of it even though I didn't understand anything xD One of the most beautiful anime songs tbh.

Re: COME FOR A SCHWING: Cardboard Edition

Well, the first anime, Nuno, was downright awful and became an anime-original show. The second anime was certainly faithful to the story, on the other hand; however, I wonder how many of the people you labeled 'FMA fanboys' actually watched the first anime. You'll have to remember that I never truly cared for FMA.
Niichan is right, most people enjoyed the first anime. I did.

Mind the salt poisoning Sky!
Don't tell them about the Amber Lead man, cmon :kappa
