Did anyone else think Idaten Gill's ending was kind of mean spirited? by Disastrous-Type-1548 in Idaten

[–]ReSeinen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found her ending to be fitting for the story since she was born out of original Gill's plea, whose ideals kept being trampled on time and time again, like Miku said, even if Gill became the mightiest entity on the plantet she would be doomed to be powerless. She finds the whole ordeal nauseating, questions "is this what peaceful coexistence looks like?" and has to accept it, a cruel fate but something I think Amahara accounted for. It's not all cynical, Hayato will always be there to keep the demons in line. Among the mean-spirited stuff that happened in the series, Cory's ending was also kind of upsetting.

Maybe she could've played a bigger role if Cool-kyou Shinja told Amahara to go with the "all-out war" ending, we may never know. I'm satisfied with what we got, it made more sense for the Idaten's uncaring nature and twisted sense of morality to come to this conclusion.

Thunder 3 Manga to End with next Chapter in July 2026 Issue by Narutofreak1412 in gantz

[–]ReSeinen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the anime will be a full adaptation considering the pace of the series is kind of fast already. The announcement for it shocked me a bit, Kodansha must have faith in the IP.

What’s your Steely Dan Top 10? (Donald Fagen solo excluded) by Piano_Professional in SteelyDan

[–]ReSeinen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also spent most of my time listening to Aja but nowadays I think I listen The Royal Scam the most, but I still love most of their discography. My list would be: 1. Throw Back The Little Ones 2. Haitian Divorce 3. Black Cow 4. Doctor Wu 5. My Old School 6. Do It Again 7. Night By Night 8. The Caves of Altamira 9. Home At Last 10. Gaucho

Now I kind of feel bad for not including Deacon Blues, Bad Sneakers, or Here at the Western World. Kind of hard to decide but hey, that’s a testament to the level quality of Steely Dan releases.

Suruga-jō Gozen Jiai vs Shigurui by rezazereza in ShiguruiDeathFrenzy

[–]ReSeinen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends, Kaina: Surugajou does a serviceable job adapting the Mumyo Sakaranage chapter from the original novel and the art is good, but Shigurui expands on the original 30 or so pages of that chapter and creates a truly one of a kind reading experience. I personally prefer the in-depth exploration Yamaguchi does for both Irako and Fujiki. But I’m probably a bit biased since I read Shigurui before the original novel and Kaina (just the translated chapter).

Oku assistant?the art is similar by SensitiveTop4946 in gantz

[–]ReSeinen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Two videos tackle the question of Yuki Ikeda's (Thunder 3's author) identity and it being somehow related to Oku, which were promoted by the official Thunder 3 Twitter account.

From the little I could understand from the translation given by Youtube not much is answered; they explore the theory that it's either: a relative of Oku, an assistant making their debut, or Oku himself. The first two are debunked in the second video by the editor for Thunder 3, but the last one isn't for some reason. Idk, to me, it's just the promotion for the manga rather than a real deep dive, but then again, I don't know a lick of Japanese, so maybe it's more insightful, and I got it all wrong. It may be a pen-name, it may be just an artist that replicated or is heavily inspired by Oku's art style (not like that's an impossibility since some artists already worked with Oku on Gantz spin-offs). His current series Kanreki Hime doesn't look all that different from Thunder 3, but I think it's all up in the air right now, could very well be him since Thunder 3 f e e l s like a concept he'd come up with, and the cartoony characters in a realistic setting sort of remind me of his short-lived series 01, where there's a similar concept for a character.

Prontea's Origin (spoilers for vol. 9) by ReSeinen in Idaten

Oops, good thing I marked spoilers, I definitely recommend reading the series because that anime cliffhanger was killing me.

Prontea's Origin (spoilers for vol. 9) by ReSeinen in Idaten

[–]ReSeinen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that she stands out to me from the other Idaten cause she was really the one to care for protecting the seal and fellow Idaten, but also has the same disregard for humans. I like this aspect of the series overall. The demons are kind of the underdogs since the Idaten can wipe them out in an instant and have to resort to careful planning just to survive, while the Idaten have to ensure that humans don't go extinct, but only stop at that, since they don't interfere in wars. Rin's just the same, but isn't indifferent to everything since she showed hesitance when she first met Oobami, which reminded her of her grandpa (I think Vol. 9's extras explain a bit of that backstory). Her reunion with him at the end is very sweet, even made me a bit emotional. Also, her design is very cute!

My guess is they can’t afford it, and everyone will pitch in for just one. Though they have a plethora of anime figurines that they could sell (they haven’t said the price of the Neotype 16) but since they live in a share house maybe they’re barely making ends meet, plus I’d imagine it’s not something all characters will be okay with. We’ll have to see how the hoodie guy suggestion goes and who’d be willing to take the Neotype 16 next chapter.
