    Yay Reigen coming through yet again!

    Also, is this the end of the series? I can't imagine where they go from here since Mob already defeated the most powerful person, himself.

    haven't seen it yet, but having read the manga, yeah that could be the last ep or potentially one more and/or an ova or something, but we're basically at the end here

    It is quite literally the end of the manga. They could adapt some of the side-stuff there isn't really enough of that for even one season, it's extremely eclectic, and some of it might have rights issues because it some of it involves cross-overs.

    It was always obvious that she was gonna turn him down. It was always clear she just saw Mob as a friend. In fact presumably the reason they stopped hanging out is because she realized he had developed a huge crush on her and she didn't want to deal with it.

    Final Mob
    They still talk on the phone, six months after. so they are still friends and Maybe things can grow from there, plus its middle/early high school so plenty of time for everyone to get their feelings streight/meet new people.

    Tomo-chan also isn't a sequel, it's just an adaption of a manga that ended years ago.

    I wasn't quite sure what to make of Tsubomi. I got the impression that she wears a mask at school and her true self is fairly aloof and apathetic. She seems mildly fond of Mob, and not judgmental of him, but not a close friend either. It felt very weird in the finale that she was staring down a tornado just so she didn't stand him up. The two of them have almost no relationship at all other than a childhood friendship which seemed kind of superficial.

    I think
    She liked Mob as a friend but after the incident that version of Mob vanished. Him calling her was enough for her to realize her friend was back and she should wait

    I finished Stone Ocean and decided to re watch Bleach before I start the new season. Man I forgot how much I hate filler, and how very little about how the world works is explained, and how many of the characters make decisions that make no sense. But also, God damn are there a bunch of well animated fight scenes with cool powers

  • silence1186silence1186 Character shields down! As a wingmanRegistered User regular
    Most of the Bleach filler is unforgivably bad and long and eminently skippable, but I ended up liking the stuff with the Zanpakuto Spirits, mostly because they were usually interesting reflections of the actual characters.

    I like any filler episode where the Bount Buddies are helping out way after their arc ended.

    Yeah the Bount arc is dumb but I like the Bount friends and am glad they hang around and try to help (they never actually help)

    I am curious how the Tomo-chan anime is going to turn out. The original manga was single-page chapters, so there's basically a punchline every four panels and I wonder how adapting that will effect the pacing. The whole thing was only around 950 pages/chapters long, so they could possibly cover the whole story in a single season.

    Looking at the cast, the English voice for Misuzu is the English voice for Chika from Kaguya-sama. Huh, I would have thought she'd fit Carol better. Though it looks like Carol is being voiced by the same person in both English and Japanese, so that's cool.

    Azumanga Daioh was a 4 panel, it's an extremely explored adaptation formula.

    A lot of the cute girls do cute thing anime are based on 4-koma manga.

    I only knew of a few firsthand, and like Azumanga Daioh the ones I knew of were more of a collection of things that happen with no real ongoing plot (aside from joke callbacks and such). That gives a lot of leeway in adapting it.

    Tomo-chan has story arcs and everything though, and while I know that's been done before too, I was wondering if that made adapting it more challenging or not.

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
    nah don't worry, that's extremely well-trod adaptation ground, it works great

    Bocchi is a 4-panel thing. There's almost always at least 2-3 a season. If it's a comedy where the primary joke is that a girl makes a silly face, it's likely a 4-panel comic.

    E: And since I was curious, it looks like one season in terms of adaption (in Bocchi's case at least) is... 1.5 volumes, or about 20 chapters, at a whopping 8-9 pages per chapter. These things aren't exactly 'rushed.'

    If you compiled a list of popular cute girls do cute things anime odds are not only are most of them are 4-komas but they probably came from one of Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara magazines. Everything but Forward mainly deals in 4-komas.

    Bocchi anime expands its scenes a lot and adds new ones. Demon Girl Next Door is a more straightforward adaptation and is two volumes per season.

    For bleach, weirdly enough, the fullbringing stuff feels like filler.

    Had I not been reading the manga.I would have thought as much.
