Report Rinne's Profile

I'm also not seeing much this season, though I started watching Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider since I like another of the author's works (81 Diver). Other series I'm looking forward to are:

• Kore Kaite Shine (read a bit of it, it's a very wholesome series about manga-making that uses real series like Bakuman did back in the day)
  
• Hyakuemu. (same author behind Orb, looks amazing visually, made by the same director behind Ongaku, who's also adapting a Hideki Arai manga, I get the impression he's very passionate about obscure/underseen manga)
  
• Darwin Jihen (very weird premise about a chimpanzee-human hybrid being involved in some sort of terrorist plot, trailer looks promising)
  
• Dungeon Meshi 2nd Season (I watched the first season on a whim and was surprised how extensive the premise got and the dark places it reached, so I'm very excited for the next season)
  
• Golden Kamuy Final season and OVA (one of the favorite anime, I've been tempted to read the manga time and time again, but I keep on waiting for the season. I know the manga is superior just because of the amount of content the anime skipped, but I want to see the conclusion after holding out for so long)
  

Thanks! :)

Needed a cleaner looking bio, but also thought it was cool to add more favorites so visitors get a clearer sense of my taste (made it using topsters 3). I did an iceberg a while back, well, I think the current hiatus had already started, so I was just looking for more Kaiji fun facts, which led me to asking others in the Kaiji sub for entries.

Wow, you're almost at a thousand anime. I myself haven't watched much as of late :( , any shows you're looking forward to this season?

Oh yeah.... I haven't personally picked up the Case Book of Arne yet, but To The Moon is one of my favorite rpgmaker games. It's not horror like the rest - more like a tearjerker drama series with a healthy dose of comic relief and SciFi. It's one of my favorite games to date with how impactful I found the first story, and its depiction of autism and romance.

yeah, and turns out that Ao Oni took off a LOT more than I thought, and there's an anime for a game called the Case Book of Arne pretty soon. A To The Moon movie was announced some time ago, but we haven't heard updates for that in a while.

Huh, cool his whole profile seems themed to rpgmaker horror games like Ib and the Witch's House, I can definitely relate to that one. Of course, that genre's hayday was, what, a good 15 years ago? :P Though you'd be surprised how many had more installments, including LNs, manga, and anime.

good job :)

lmao thx :P I actually struggled to find pfps for the forums because of the required dimensions, and Garry was the main one I have that fit. I change it up to myself as a Padoru for the holidays though

😂

Bro come on add me

Nice Myne pfp.

So many great moments in One Outs, but there's a particular one that made my heart sink (even though it was part of Tokuchi's plan).


I can't wait to see how they'll translate Kaitani's designs in the Liar Game anime. It's a good thing to have the director back since he also directed both Kaiji seasons and One Outs, but he hasn't had the greatest track record with newer shows (Trillion Game and AI no Idenshi looked rough at times). Here's hoping it gets the best-est treatment possible!

Sorry! Got completely blindsided by the announcement: "A Shinobu Kaitani adaptation?! What year is it? 2008?!" It's seriously amazing how it got an anime. Never lose hope, I guess. I'm curious how far into the manga the adaptation will go, but all I need is to see Akiyama, Nao, and Fukunaga animated. Is this a sign of things to come? Like... is One Outs s2 a possibility?

I agree. I honestly don't enjoy manga much anymore. I liked them back in the days, but now that most manga gets an anime adaptation, I haven't felt the need to read manga as much anymore. And when I do read, I prefer reading novels, light novels and web novels instead. I just prefer reading books to manga nowadays...

And with the apparition of korean colored web manhwa, I feel like japanese manga is definitely a downgrade. There are still some good ones out there, but I honestly don't read many anymore and will only read completed ones or partially-completed ones (i.e. that has a decent "ending" even if not the last volume). I still find some to read, but I usually stop reading after a few chapters or volumes because I usually end up reading the novel instead.

Unfortunately, mangakas are pretty dependent on their publisher, and they love axing stuff. I should at least finish reading all the available volumes when I can though... As I said, I rarely finish reading manga...

It's Abu-normal, I highly recommend it! It's a comedy about this woman who's always been kind of weird and, as such, seeks the help of others to become more "normal"; however, she either takes things to an extreme degree or the "normal" people she interacts with are just as unhinged. It's a pretty fun read, although I think the first 17 or so chapters aren't as good as the later chapters. It's always amusing to see what kind of response to a certain social situation she'll come up with.

It's been so long since I read it, and I honestly haven't read that many manga in recent years, so I didn't know about the author's works getting axed... That's unfortunate and that's a shame indeed. I'll have to take a look at what's published and what got axed to get a better idea.

This is unfortunately one of the reason why I stopped reading manga, usually waiting until they are completely finished before reading, and since that takes forever, I haven't read much at all. It's a shame that many manga get axed before completion...
