There exists stupid humans, you are human therefore you are stupid. Doesn't it sound like a fine argument?

You were looking down on him, sugarcoating it doesn't change the fact that you did it. Seeing someone's opinion as inferior to your own is exactly what looking down on someone is.

I already stated it myself that i hated the series after reading the whole thing. But if you continue to accuse me otherwise, fine, i'll just call you troll from now on

There has to be something fundamentally wrong with your judgment sense. GE is undoubtedly a good manga. Probably you are only those who hate and judge on the ending solely, pfft.

And again a high school setting, it seems... Despite that, the premise sounds interesting and I am looking forward to it.

Doll Masters seems like Mahouka 2.0 I bet that girl near the protagonist is his imouto too.Then even have a cover emblem like the bloom ones.

The one VanishingKira was talking about is actually the cover for Mahouka Vol 13, not Doll Masters.
Anyway, it seems like it will be set after the events of Mahouka since there's a connection between the two based on the premise. I hope it will be fairly interesting too and this new series doesn't hinder his writing on Mahouka later.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?
No i mean seriously. Good Ending is easily the most frustating, annoying, emotions-destroyer, and retarded shounen romance i've seen in a very long time. The kind lead character got himself beaten to pulp to gain happy ending, while other jerk gained happy ending by being a jerk over and over again. Ugh. I don't even understand why i subjected myself to such endless torture and sat around it till the very end. This announcement will give me nightmare of course.
But, i will probably give it a chance if the main character is a kungfu master. Why? Because Good Ending would be far less frustating if the main dude could defend himself physically

I will watch all of those Anime, and I am expecting Akame ga Kill! to be awesome.
I am just waiting for Isshuukan Friends to finish airing before I start watching it :3
Doll Masters seems nice. New GTO Manga series?!?! I didn't expect that. I still haven't watched the Anime and read the Manga though.
Why Sony, why?!?!
:O I thought GE (Good Ending) is a good Manga when I added it on my list. I guess I should read it and see for myself.

What does Sony intend to accomplish with this act? Is SE going to suffer any of this? Did any one particular person(s) or corporation buy said stock? This feels ominous. Perhaps this is foreshadowing SE's demise. They've sucked since the merge anyway.
