Nicο Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 So I notice threads are made every so often but for obvious reasons they can't stay around. Just wanted to mention that while the anime ended up as just okay (although one of the better okays) for the longest time, eps 13-15 were great. So very typical in every way imaginable, but executed so well I felt an extreme sense of excitement. New OP & ED are very nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'm gonna marathon this once I go on vacation. It sounds really promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Keeping up with the manga. I really enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicο Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Keeping up with the manga. I really enjoy it. Yeah, the manga doesn't really seem like something I can keep up with every week... but I have been buying it and though I've only read the first volume, it's been much better than what was adapted from it. Marika's introduction is probably gonna be insanely great to me once I read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Nisekoi works for me as a short fun read in Shonen Jump between chapters of One Piece and All You Need is Kill. Occasionally there's a emotional highlight, but at worst it coerces a smile out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Really happy the english jump added it to their line up since thats how I got into it. Like, I'd just skim it and think some of the chapters were cute, but then I was stuck going to a wedding and stuck in a hotel so I just read the series through. Since then I've come to love this series. No idea why since I tend to just read battle series. I think the thing I like about it is that I find the characters REALLY endearing. Like, the manga they just had a story arc with Ruri and it was so touching. The chapters leading up to it had been pretty average over all since they had just been 1 offs, but that one gave me the feels. Side from the characters, I think the facial reactions are gold at points. I think the series is at its best between the open air school story to the christmas story. Sadly, we won't get that in the anime, but the place they are ending it is a good one imo. Speaking of the anime, I've enjoyed it. Though, some of the style choices they've gone with have been interesting to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 To be fair, they set that up during the amnesia story arc. This isn't anything new tbqh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desu the Blue Nerd Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yeah, the manga doesn't really seem like something I can keep up with every week... but I have been buying it and though I've only read the first volume, it's been much better than what was adapted from it. Marika's introduction is probably gonna be insanely great to me once I read it. Really? Because I'm really enjoying the style and director more than anything here. Well those and Chitoge's faces are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicο Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Really? Because I'm really enjoying the style and director more than anything here. Well those and Chitoge's faces are the best. By style, do you in any way mean the typical Shaft visuals? Cause I'm gonna have to come out and say I haven't ever been overly fond of that. The way they done the trees in one scene recently is something I can say I didn't like. I'll still say that the director must be doing a great job due to how typical it is, so it's all still relatively well executed, but well, I guess I did say I still only read one volume. It wasn't anything too special besides me finding Oneodera cute faster, and the moment where Chitoge saying how romantic Raku's promise was making my heart actually go a flutter~ I'm lame like that. I mean, I guess this is just making me realize I was wrong about how I thought the anime was only okay. I really do applaud the staff and such, and there is that Kagerou Days reference. That is something only Shaft would be able to do. Considering the faces were mentioned, in general they are pretty gold, I agree, but yeah. Chitoge's are the best.

As said, I think the series happens gets really good around chapter 20. You get some meh chapter every now, but that happens with most series.

Nicο Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I just want to pop in to say, volume 3, right? I've got that waiting to be shipped, but I can already tell because of how the anime got better somewhat around then, too. This is a pretty strange episode number though. Here we are done in 2 more weeks and everything else I'm watching will only be around half over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
