I don't get that either. Every shojo I've attempted to read (based on MangaGAF recommendations) has been bad, formulaic crap.

Some of us have shitty taste and like the formulaic stuff.

And, honestly, "formulaic crap" applies rather broadly to basically everything in this thread.

Yandere Kanojo1-56
About a normal student who fall in love with a Yankee girl (Yankee dere). A 4 koma comedy with bit of drama mix in. One of the chapter about F2P and 'open zipper' crack me up.

To be fair, 99% of it is shit. Which ones have you read?

Yandere Kanojo is awesome. The zipper chapter is one of my favorites too, along with the ones about her dad.

Also quick, name your favorite manga!

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"

Not necessarily. Tropes are not bad; anything with Perfect Shojo Male™ is bad.

Seems more like a case of disliking the tropes they use as opposed to disliking them due to using tropes in general. That's all.

Edit: Which, on re-reading, is probably what you meant anyway.

Ootagawa Junjou Lovers 1-4 - Guess their story is just these 4 chapters. If you switch the roles around, the lead would be a rather creepy guy hounding the girl this hard. Still, wraps up nicely enough.

UQ Holder 27-28

This arc got off to a pretty boring start, but it turned out alright. Judging from Negima, Ken Akamatsu takes a while to get to the more interesting arcs, so I'm sure in a little while UQ Holder should get pretty good. Well the sad part of this logic is that it'll end abruptly without explaining shit. :(

I think this is going to be like Akame ga kill where I'm rooting for the bad guys. These immortals are boring.

UQ Holder

So bad. Everyone in the UQH group is unlikable, lazy-design noodlemen other than Evangeline, and there's way too goddamn many of them.

"UQ Holder No. 1,275, Beard Guy With Cigarette!"
"UQ Holder No. 144, Guy Who Looks Just Like Negi With a Chin Beard."
"UQ Holder No. 330, Guy Who Looks Like Fate But Taller."
"UQ HOlder No. 89, Guy Who Looks Like Touta But Taller and Has a Sword-Cane and Glasses."

Its like he only knows how to draw like 4 different people and changes their height and accessories.

I hate it when I find a new manga that seems interesting, only to have the art completely kill any interest I had in it.

In this case, Toukyou Genji Monogatari.

Immediately had to close out the tab.

I don't need that much horror.

How can you take sides though? Just laugh at both of them equally. I stopped taking Akame ga Kill seriously when the author decided to throw in a pedophile clown.

Myself said:
Definitely not, I can recognize most of them on sight from their faces alone. Characters don't have to have completely different body structures to be distinct from one another. Now take Ken Akamatsu (Love Hina, Negima) and Tony Taka (Shining Tears) for example. They are two artists who use the same face on all their girls. Noizi Ito (Haruhi) is guilty of the same thing to a lesser extent.

now i wonder what the ratings were like if they are doing this
Click to expand...

Ratings where actually really good(within the top 10 highest anime ratings) it probably got cancelled for the same reason DBZ kai got cancelled in the first place despite really really great ratings, it wasn't driving merchandise sales like Call of one piece duty.

Kyuur said:
I started on chapter 11, which basically starts right after the Yukine arc.
Yes, and it's horrible. I've been watching it with my friend who doesn't really read manga all that much. Starjun and Toriko basically became friends during their fight, the four heavenly kings are outperforming Jirou and Setsuno, among other stupid filler shit. They should have just went to the start of the Gourmet World arc and left it so they could continue it later if need be...

No Manga deserves a terrible fate like a anime original ending None! It's equivalent to the studio strangling the life out the property then shiting on it's corps then burn it along with the house it built for it.

Too bad Toriko was held to a ridiculous standards of being the next one piece, truth is there will never be another one piece.

Yamada 103

Yamada taking a break from the Studen Council so he can deal with Nancy, who seems to be someone from his past. She's also hot. Another for the harem then.

UQ Holder 28 - Expected more girls. Evangeline taking the time to remind us how she normally looks.

Yamada 103 - don't tempt me with previously met girls. Bring back Archer girl if you're going to do that.

UQ Holder! 28

How about a no.

You know just like every other time someone asks that question.

And look, its glasses bro.

One day when he becomes important enough, I'll bother remembering his name.

What's the chance of Yamada and the Seven Witches, getting a anime I mean it got a live action drama.
Click to expand...

Hard to say. It could easily end up following what Yankee-kun did, which was get a drama adaptation but never got an anime adaptation.

Maybe the mangaka doesn't want anime adaptation of her work or something.

i hope the gekkan shoujo adaptation is good. signs point to yes but who knows really

Well it looks like it's being done by a studio who's been good at doing comedies ( YuruYuru, Mikakunin de Shinkoukei, GJ-bu, Love Lab) so hopefully the raccoon provides the funny.

Koe no Katachi 31
Well, I can understand the mom's intentions, but seriously, what a clumsy way to go about it. At least she's warming up to Ishida, kind of sort of. I'm surprised Shoko hasn't cried yet.

I don't think the problems in the family are Ishida's fault, like he thinks it is. I think they would've always been present as long as Shoko had that vulnerability for kids to exploit.
