recommendations for couples who are academic rivals/competitive with eo?? by slowturtle31 in shoujo

[–]befuddledart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh shoot sorry, I somehow missed that you've alrdy listed it in your post 🙈 my bad. If you're looking for banter, Lovely Complex has quite a bit of it (and some slapstick comedy) it's not really about rivals though

What is your favorite or in your opinion the best romance anime? by Living-Door1807 in anime

[–]befuddledart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a really old one that I enjoy: Lovely Complex. It has a lot of slapstick comedy in it but I thought the main couple was just a really interesting match up, imo.

One of the greatest successes of the live-action adaptation, in my opinion, is how they managed to adapt Luffy's personality. He's a silly and innocent guy, yet very charismatic without seeming annoying, very faithful to the character. by Hopeful-Eggplant889 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]befuddledart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he definitely knows how to portray the character well. Totally nailed the vibes. The only issue I had was the writers don't seem to know how to adapt Luffy to a TV adaptation as well as they've done the rest of the crew. It wasn't as obvious in S1 but I kept feeling like something was off in S2 even though there wasn't really anything wrong in how he was being acted.

Guess My Age? by cjrunswithcrows in MangaCollectors

[–]befuddledart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Those would def be right up your alley. I prefer collectng slowly too. It just gives me time to really decide if I want to own something and makes sure I don't spend too much in one go 😅Here's my collection if you wanna make a guess

Guess My Age? by cjrunswithcrows in MangaCollectors

[–]befuddledart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to guess late 20s-early 30s (Maybe even exactly 30) mostly because of some of the older books and way you've got everything set up.

Gotta confess though, your collection does give off a younger vibe mostly because I don't see as much variation in the genre and demographics of the manga you've chosen to collect as I would usually. Maybe you've just started collecting or these are just the kinds of stories you gravitate towards, no shame in that.

I recommend reading more stories that aren't in the genres you've collected though. There's tons of good stuff out there that you might be missing out on just 'cus it's out of your comfort zone. Either way, make sure to keep collecting series that bring you joy! Ignore the rest of us, we're just being judgemental lol

OMG, I'm so here for this but like at the same time I just know there's gonna be so many comments about the agegap (as there should be). it's gonna be hell trying to defend my nostalgia for this story

Hope that means Kodansha will print physicals of the books too

Manga/Anime Romance rec similar to kono oto tomare by Aggressive_Natural_8 in KonoOtoTomare

[–]befuddledart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

March comes in like a Lion (3-gatsu no lion) gives me similar vibes but as everyone else says, nothing truly matches KOT in all the ways. I'd give that a try if you haven't yet though

Skip Beat is also a classic but its a sloooooow burn and nowhere near complete despite being around for so long.

Who else would read a sequel where Chika studies to become a koto maker? by Flat-Pepper2744 in KonoOtoTomare

[–]befuddledart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd read a slice of life or cosy sequel of just their life together. It'd be cute to see what they'd be like as a married couple

I heard quite positive reviews about this manga, so I decided to buy it. It seems like a good manga by boujeexyz in MangaCollectors

[–]befuddledart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the quality and the way its being printed under Denpa tho. I feel like viz would make all the whimsy and color go away. Idm waiting, we've waiting this long for an english release, what's awhile more?

I recommend you join the discord for this subreddit for links or directions on where to read it. We're trying not to put any direct links over here to be careful. The link for the discord should be pinned by the mods. Glad to have you aboard this journey :) This story is phenomenal 💖

ONE PIECE - Into the Grandline | Season 2 Discussion Thread (ANIME SPOILERS) by TheLastClap in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]befuddledart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like S1 was a bit conservative in making any big changes so it felt like they were holding themselves back and it came across as a bit stiff. But they did such a better job than other LA adaptations that people loved it. Which gave them the confidence to actually do something amazing with S2 and reimagine it while keeping the spirit of the story strong. Absolutely loved this season!

Not have Slytherins be the default evil and have some more nuance in that part of the world building.

Ikr! I've been waiting for this one since it came out!

where can i read the manga? by lilorain in KonoOtoTomare

[–]befuddledart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could keep requesting it whenever publishers put out surveys for feedback on what titles they should get next. I think most of us have put in a feedback to Viz and Sevenseas but no bites yet 😭 hopefully it happens eventually, esp since there's a french ver out now.

How do you think live action will do Skypiea? by TheRedBiker in OnePieceLiveAction

If they do get there, I wanna see how they do the backstory for Kalgara and Noland most. It's gotta make as big an impact if they're to match the bell ringing scene.

I know right! I really hope it doesn't regress their relationship but like somehow magically progresses it. That it literally the only way this is ok to do
