Think that if Guardian of the Witch ends up being good (which I hope it does) it could potentially fill the cravings for dark fantasy that TPN fans will have when it ends in the next few months.

 

[101nemesis]

Sure, but they're definitely partially horror. However, you guys know what I mean. If horror isn't the correct term, then substitute the appropriate one.

Gore and gritty? I guess those words describe it better than horror.

Very Atsushi Okubo vibe.

 

[Rain Spectre]

 

[Aeneas]

Good to see they're doing that. They still haven't put it on the schedule.

I'm referring to him making a tweet about this forum, you guys were the ones that brought his name up lol Its expected he'd respond

If he wants to poke fun at us that fines. He has every right to.
But people are allowed to criticize the fact that he legit has a platform where he has been lying to his viewers for years and flames to have inside information on the industry, despite being proven wrong times and times again.

Not to mention the the times he’s used homophobia and racist slurs on his platform, I have no sympathy clowning him. That’s a completely different and off topic discussion though


Edit: sorry, didn’t realize that the thread moved like 3 pages since this post I replied to and didn’t know the topic moved on

Speaking of new serializations, I assume we're getting a sports manga soon-ish with Haikyuu on its way out?

Wouldn't surprise me. I'm not really hyped for it, though. Outside of RxL, HnI and HZ, I haven't really enjoyed most spokon series.

I don't think it's fair for someone with 50k followers to post screencaps of this forum with the intent at garnering sympathy and defense.
He's basically asking his followers to brigade us. Some of them in his comments are openly attacking 101nemesis with racism.
When you have that much influence the rules get modified. He doesn't have a right to poke at us because his cult members will come here to attack us in the guise of defending dear leader.
Think of the mass shooters who were influenced by Trump's rhetoric. Trump may not be directly telling people to go shoot up black churches, and wal-marts in Hispanic areas, but the things he says encourages sheep like simpletons to act out.

Whoa, you didn't like E21?
Damn, I fucking loved that series.

 

[Halloween]

Guys, I already said to move past this YouTuber business.

However, I will make an official statement regarding off-site harassment. Unfortunately, the staff on MH are not allowed to take action against these kinds of things. If we acted on this, we'd literally have to act on many, MANY more incidents such as this, and unfortunately we don't have the time or resources to do that.

We can't even make a special exemption for this specific instance, because it would lead to users pointing it out, wanting us to act on other similar instances. It's a Pandora's Box type of situation, and the official policy is to just not open it, regardless.

Eyeshield 21 and Slam Dunk both seem very up your alley. I think you might also like Prince of Tennis. It can be really over the top.
If you've already tried these, my apologies.

Never read it. I intend on reading it one day, but I have a sizeable backlog as is.

Slam Dunk

Not really a fan of Basketball, even though I know that it's apparently good.

 

[animeexpert]

Do you guys think action/horror is the next big genre(s)? Look at recent examples:

AoT
KnY
JJK
CSM
etc.

Yeh people nowadays like edginess, the reason why even mitama and yozakura is utilizing the concept of "thriller" even as comedy

Understood. Fully dropped from me.
Final thought though, this is why I was in favor of Youtuber discussion being banned entirely no matter who it is. It just derails into discussions about Youtubers we don't like and encourages self-promotion.

People always liked "edgyness" lol. One of the most misused words on the web.

Ah I see, yeah I definitely think you should read it then.

 

[Nemesis]

The good part about this is that Bleach might escape the hands of Pierrot. The more I read about the situation within the studio right now, the more I despise the committee and the studio itself. Seriously, BC's production team is in a really dire situation and I don't wish that to any other team. Actually, I hope they don't make a 4th season and just let the team rest because they deserve it. A sakubuta on twitter even said working in BC anime is worse than hell. Maybe they can come back later to finish the series, but as it is right now, the team is carrying production with their passions only but are exhausted and feeling dejected.

This is no different than other anime out there to be fair. Rare are the studios with good conditions overall, with the best examples being Toei Animation and Kyoani.

And about the committee, it's short. It's just TV Tokyo and Pierrot. TV Tokyo which also has Pokémon, Aikatsu, Gintama, Boruto, Beyblade, Yugioh and other franchises, along seasonal anime. They are in some of the committee of those.

With the Netflix news of OP being announced, question for everyone.

Which WSJ series do you think lends itself best to a live-action Hollywood adaptation?

Act-Age, by far. The first thing that came to my mind and the one that I really wish it happens.

Act-Age? Even Haikyu!! could be adapted to one pretty nicely I think, and since Yowamushi Pedal got one announced I think? why not dream about it. Other series such as Kimetsu, Chainsaw Man or Jujutsu would take a looot of editing. Maybe even Stone would be an easier option.

 

[Rain Spectre]

With the Netflix news of OP being announced, question for everyone.

None because Hollywood has became a parasite on cinema industry.

Good times with the whole discussion with Sharkbait saying Illegal Rare would fail because Shonen Jump readers didn't wanted dark series, how times have changed kkkk
