Did not see the spoilers, but maybe the manga has a better ending? It seems to be a pattern of bad anime/anime with confusing or bad ending = good manga/manga with good ending That's because the anime often gets greenlit after the manga has enjoyed some sustained popularity. Most anime based off an original manga end up outpacing the release schedule so they have to come up with their own endings (like the Game of Thrones tv show and the Song of Ice and Fire books). The two most prevalent cases would probably be Hellsing and Full Metal Alchemist which both got an anime very early on in their manga's lifespan so their anime has to basically make it's own story. Later, after the manga was finished/close to finished, both Hellsing and FMA got a rebooted anime series, Hellsing Ultimate and FMA: Brotherhood, both of which more faithfully follow the manga. The way the manga industry works directly affects the anime industry in a lot of ways, and I recommend reading Bakuman (from the creators of Death Note), a manga/anime about making manga, if you want to dive deeper into the subject.

I wanted to find raw/original scans of Fullmetal Alchemist chapter 4/vol 1 to compare this one text bubble but my Google skills failed... Could anyone help?

So, it turns out that last week's episode of Assassination Classroom was not, in fact, the last one. The episode that came out today was actually pretty good so I am now quite content with the ending.

SO HYPE. Only a couple more days! When they got to the Despair part of the video I almost started crying cause I was so excited to see them animated and everything...lol I'm such a weeb.
What do you guys think of the new Monokuma voice? I have mixed feelings. (Still better than the English voice, though haha)

Haven't found any AC scans on Kissmanga so I can't tell. Plus, after my periple through the scanned integrity of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, I think I'll stick to anime versions for a while. (seriously guys why do you skip Part 5, it's not that bad.)
Talking about it, the new DiU opening kicks ass.
Edit: Just watched Assassination Classroom's epilogue. My feeling of incomplete frustration had magically vanished.

So the new season is bringing out the new collections of "Episode 1"s, does anything look particularly good thus far in this particular go-around?

What do you guys think of the new Monokuma voice? I have mixed feelings. (Still better than the English voice, though haha) Man, I knew it was coming but Kugimiya Rie's voice just does not fit that Bandai guy *at all* lmao. Bu yeah, looks fun! Kinda...overdoing it with Owari's tits a little but whatevs. I wonder why the hell Nanami is there too...hadn't noticed she was in the cast, for some reason. Weird. Monokuma's voice sounds fine, I guess. Why did they change it, though? Anyway, so far I'm pleased to say none of the 6 shows I'm watching so far are bad, my favorites so far are Amanchu! and Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE! LOVE! The former is just pretty funny and the art and art shifts are great, the latter is basically just as good as the first season was. Also been having fun watching Katanagatari. The long episodes are really working for me.

Monokuma's voice sounds fine, I guess. Why did they change it, though? Yeah I though the same thing about Bandai's voice. Like...I guess it's supposed to be funny or something? I don't get it. And I'll admit I'm a little put off by the fact that the one black character is sort of a joke, in that he has a goofy face and a ridiculous voice. But, oh well. Maybe he'll end up being super cool. Akane...yeah what can you say lol. They love the fan service with the SDR2 characters I think I remember reading something about the original Monokuma VA being unable to take the role due to health reasons, but I'm not totally sure on that. It's unfortunate, but I'm sure the new voice will grow on me.

Well I finished Hunter X Hunter and got caught up on everything else I'm following. Guess it's time to see what this Jojo nonsense is all about if no other series catches my eye.

Don't forget, if you watch the anime, to start with the 2012 version, the one with Jonathan and Dio. I've started with the 2000 version and only after 10 episodes have i been told it was a short OVA of the 3rd Part.

I started Hunter x Hunter (1999) a while ago. I'm on episode 45 I'm kinda worried: things were almost too happy...

Just started Danganronpa 3 after finally watching a playthrough of Ultra Despair Girls (which was pretty great).
First episode of the future arc was intriguing enough, although honestly the fact that there is red blood in a Danganronpa thing strikes me as being wrong on a fundamental level. Oh well.

So that episode of the Despair arc today...yeah let's agree to never speak of that again. Except the video game scene, that was so so good.
As much as I love my favs goofing around and being happy, I'm kind of ready for the plot to start next time. (Also Natsumi! She has a name!)

bingewatched the entirety of Grandpa Ronpa 3: End of Grandpa's Tea that's been broadcasted just now.
...I suppose I'll have to relinquish my touhou avatars for a while.

Reaction to episode 2 of the Future Arc seemed rather shocked, so before I watched it I was like "So did Asashina die or something?" So then I watch it and indeed Asahina died, Or Something.
It's a good thing I expected that to happen since before the anime even started airing, I guess. And that all in all I'm just not very attached to the Danganronpa 1 characters in general. Think it comes from only watching the anime, compared to watching some playthroughs of the other games the anime didn't do as good a job getting me into those characters.
It's also a good thing the two survivors I do care about aren't participating. At least Fukawa is safe.
Anyway if Hagakure survives I'll eat my hat.

Is it bad that I was more upset over Bandai's death than Asahina's? Lol I agree that I never got too attached to the DR1 characters, and I've watched 2 different playthroughs of the game, haha. TBH the only two characters from that game I would be legitimately upset over were they to be killed off would be Fukawa and Hagakure *knock on wood*

Fukawa and Kirigiri are the ones for me. the worst thing is that Kirigiri is probably going to die...

I think what was funny about the blood thing was how Nidai's oil in DR2 was actually blue instead of black, when they had no need to censor it unlike the others

I honestly cannot figure out how to tag spoilers, so just highlight within the following brackets to see my response. And if someone could tell me how to actually tag them I'd appreciate it.[ I'm with you about Bandai's death. Well... maybe not more upset over his than Asahina's, but pretty dangan close. We hardly got to see much from him, his death was completely out of nowhere and didn't seem to have much impact or importance (aside from showing the consequence of breaking the rules), and he seemed so sweet and nice. Something tells me each of these episodes is going to hurt more than the last. But that's just part of what makes this series so great, isn't it? ]
