Some year...
My uni has an anime&manga club. Surprisingly, it has more girls than guys. Also some cosplayers.
I totally should have joined, but their meeting place is so far away

Oh yeah, there was one in college too that I never joined.
They met at night and I hated being on campus at night so whatever.
Is this the start of a harem rom/com
I should add: Also some crossplayers
One is a personal friend. I introduced him to anime. His first was index.
What should I feel about this?

Depends on how hot he is.

FUCK YEAH.
That was an awesome match.

Well, some of the ambivalence comes from it not being quite "more of the same". Half the main cast are turned into minor characters and cameos, and the ones that graduated and moved on, largely won't appear unless they have business with the current Genshiken club.
Ehhh he's passable I suppose. Still needs a lot of work on his makeup skills, and he needs to fatten his cheeks a little bit.

I suppose it's a game of expectations. If someone expects more serialized Genshiken with the same characters, there will be disappointment. I can understand the original fans being hyped in 2009 of their favorite series and characters coming back and seeing how in the end it was starting to focus on other people.
But if someone comes late and expect Genshiken 2 (different to G1), reading on Internet that there will be new characters on the focus, it's ok. Hell, even the fact the main cast is still there as minor characters sounds good, more than I expected.

I enjoyed it. Great character selection and I hope many of them make a return in Secondo, especially Coyote.The inside of the kitchen always felt frantic and seeing all the different jobs Ban do was interesting. The dishes looked great and made me hungry while reading.
One bad thing about the manga is that I never really got into the tragic backstory of the supporting characters when it was brought up. Him going back to the factory still feels like a wrong decision to me and it felt like they just decided to move him along when Ban didn't need him anymore. And Coyote losing his lover in 9/11 just makes me think they wanted to hit a double emotional cord.
And now to the ending..
That felt good to write. Anyways yeah, I enjoyed the read except for the ending.

I think I've seen quite a number of bad endings in manga. From Reborn!'s repeat of the first chapter to Kekkaishi's I'll teach you math. To Hikaru no Go ending like at 60% of the story to Veritas which earned it as being labeled as having an absolutely shit ending in my manga list. Man oh man, Bambino decided it wanted to compete with the best of them. It told me that it didn't want to have a member of the new staff not having a tragic story to tell. So it killed a character that was probably going to be a burden to the sequel off. Guess we don't need two characters with failed stores, right? And that wasn't even the first reason I thought they had killed him off. My first reaction was 'So they killed him off so Ban could get with her in Secondo eh'. Only then did I realize that they killed him off by him getting a ricochet'd raindrop in the eye. Of all things. Irresponsible driver? Nope. Drunk driver? Nope. Getting hit in the eye with a raindrop then stumbling in front of a car? Did they waste a week thinking of the best way to kill him off, couldn't think of how to do it and decided to just go with this? I can't even find an excuse for this. I mean...really?

Wait, didn't they have cannons that were pretty advanced? And Armin and the rest of them used guns once. Why is Levi still carrying around a sword, seems like a massive oversight if they were going to go up against
humans.
EDIT:Oh right their swords have the 3D gear controls on it.

I, for one, am glad that you posted such thorough impressions. Thanks a lot!

you see I always wrote it as Holo (as in the novels etc., and because it's correct) but it always caused arguments so I just switched for the sake of not having the argument another 100 times (animeGAF pls). I found Horo would attract less people giving out about it.

damn, HIki is creepy. Definitely felt sad for her being cast out, because it seems like Yato and her were good friends, but it was something that had to be done.

Its the most hilarious thing. Its actually Holo, pronounced Holo, romanji is Horo, and people just got stuck with Horo because they for the love of god couldn't understand JPN pronounces R as L.

I think I read a bunch of series in one or two days when I was traveling last month, but didn't post about them. Let's see...
Harukana Machi e
2 Volumes
Seinen, Drama, Slice of Life
This was just delightful. It could have kept going for 10 more volumes, and really gone places. Still, as it was, it was still satisfying.
The story is about a salaryman who, after falling asleep at his mother's grave, is taken back to his junior high school life. This time, though, he retains the memories of his adult self. It's such a strong piece because of the protagonist's introspection. While trying to solve some of the problems from his youth, he thinks about his future self, and what his new experiences mean for his family and himself. Probably one of my favorite time travel stories because of how delicately it utilizes the concept; the focus is on the characters--no scifi aspects are present. My only issue is with how suddenly the end came, but I still think highly of it.

Do the right thing, here:
I had one for ages, I think when I just started posting in here? She'll be next after this again.
Yeah, I know why people are dumb, I'm just sick of the argument. I guess among Manga GAF people I can say Holo.
AnimeGaf more casual than MangaGaf confirmed. We require more moonrune skillz

Well the boss even though he has bad personality and could have been designed better, combining the goblins to make a rather large impressive final form was certainly one of the least bad things in this cancelled manga.

To be fair, I know when I was watching Spice & Wolf, I probably was switching between Holo and Horo every other episode in impressions cause I really didn't care.
uh, saying holo's name on animegaf doesn't cause any arguments
Not sure how the story could have gone on for that long. From what I remember, the story was pretty tightly paced and focused about the parenthood themes and what not. Messing around for 10 volumes would just kill it.I think I read a bunch of series in one or two days when I was traveling last month, but didn't post about them. Let's see...

Is it actually over as of the last issue? The match was supposed to be quite a few chapters long but I've lost count.

Sousei no Onmyouji 6
Which manga is he referring too?
Fun chapter though I dont know if the second childhood friend is really necessary to keep having around.

I think it finished time ago, I saw a picture of the cover of the last tankoubon.
To be honest, I lost interest in the series.

Slam DunkSousei no Onmyouji 6
Which manga is he referring too?
I mean it's the only basketball manga that everybody knows.
You sure it wasn't just joking around? The Korbo war was an old thing on animegaf but nobody seriously cares about the name.
Pretty sure it's a reference to the only good basketball manga Kuroko's Basketball
PhillipCostigan

yeah the korbo thing came up, but usually it was after a few "no it's horo" posts.
like some people were adamant it was horo.

Is the main character in Slam Dunk confessing to every girl he sees?
Cause I know it's not Kuroko cause lol confessing to girls in that series.
