Did the parasyte anime end like the manga?

I heard terrible things about the manga's ending.

They're the same.
Not sure what you've heard, but I found it a pretty nice ending.

Lol, another carbon copy Light Novel gets adapted to anime. "Gakusen Toshi Asterisk (Academy Battle City Asterisk)".
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1369390

Same director as Mahouka, check. Same character designer as SAO, check. Sexy girl on cover, check. With so much going for it, it's sure to be a hit.

Ok, the plot is set in the "Academy City on the water, Rikka" where they stage magical battles. So, it's a complete rip of Index/Railgun and the like. It's becoming like "magical/hightech academy islands" it's it's own genre now.

That title Academy Battle City Asterisk is also really boringly self-descriptive in the way that Irregular at Magical Highschool was. Add yet another terrible light novel anime to the queue. I can't see myself sitting down to watch this one, it doesn't sound lulzy enough.

Looks like at least a few volumes of the LN's been fantranz'd, at least, if for some reason you feel like reading a bit instead of watching. Who knows, it might actually have something interesting going on. Maybe. Possibly.

Judging by the comments there it look like the exact same sort of mold-stamped crap, TBH.

[i2amroy]

Judging by the novel illustrations and a quick glance through the accompanying manga/fantranslations, I'm definitely getting more of a Maken-ki with 2/3rds of the fanservice cut out + a Tournament arc than a Index/Railgun vibe to it though. It's missing that darker note that Index/Railgun likes to thread through it's stuff, and there is a definite fanservice thread running through it that is much closer to an actual fanservice series than anything Index/Railgun was putting out there.

Who wants some finishing move compilations~*


*Possibly others hidden somewhere (if somewhat unlikely?) since nobody seems to have found the games secret bits yet.

It's kinda surreal knowing how kiddy most old super robots are viewed as, and then reading the original Getter Robo manga where by the third chapter Ryouma has killed a thug by stabbing him in the face with a sword, the professor burnt his own son to death with a flamethrower because his son was being mind controlled to try to kill everyone, and one of the other main characters and pilot of Getter-2, Hayato, is introduced as the leader of what's basically a radical terrorist group in a scene in which he literally tears the faces off of two students who try to chicken out of his plan to assassinate the cabinet minister with his bare hands.

Yeah, suffice to say that stuff wasn't present in the anime.

Some thoughts as I'm watching tales from the cosmic troubadours (spoilered just to be safe):

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ep1+Ep2
"Hmm three fleets surrounding one big one. Lemme guess, they'll attack and take them out piecemeal.
...
I'M A TACTICAL GENUIS!

Ep3
Ooh, Yang is really playing the 'reluctant hero/soldier' trope to a T. But he'll then probably be opposed at every corner via political shenanigans. Oh joy.

Ep4
Some backstory for Blondie. I can dig it.

EP5 kastrop rebellion
Oh no, we're being invaded. Let us sacrifice this pincushion as tribute!

Also: splosive gasses IN SPACE.

Ep 11
"You must commit suicide."
"I don't want to."
"Fine, let me force you."
"I don't think that counts as a suicide technicaFWHAAGLURRGLEBR"

EP9 Klopstock incident
Oh good lord they're all so foppish! SO FOPPISH! AAAAH.
Deathcane to the rescue! *boom*
Thank you deathcane!

Ep 12
Oh god this whole invasion is doomed from the start. This is gonna suuuuck.

Ep 13-15
No wait, I was wrong, this sucks even more than I could imagine.

I find myself rooting for the alliance more than the empire (so of course alliance will lose, it's almost inevitable) but I like Reinhard, despite Empire being a collection of ridiculous pompous blowholes.

Question : What would you do if you discovered that when you died you were revived, with memory intact, to only an hour or so before death? Would you attempt to make contact with the people you befriended in that time, would you aim to make right the wrongs that caused your death or perhaps those that died along side you???

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu - Daisshou - Outo no Ichinichi Hen

Is not only a manga with a super long title/subtitle, but also faces this situation...

The high school student, Subaru Natsuki, finds himself in another world after a return trip to the convenience store and finds himself in a world of Fantasy, unsettled by this event he finds himself getting caught up with some thugs only to be saved by a young woman whom was chasing a thief who had just robbed her. As thanks and apologies for saving his life but also causing her to lose the thief he aids her in the search for her lost item, only to find himself falling to an unseen blade. Only to awake back where he started, in front of a fruit merchant telling him off like the moments before. Time Repeats, Death Repeats, Can fate be changed?

And before you ask, she's not (shocking twist, I know) trying to kill Kyon.

So, decided to give the first episode or so of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure a watch.

Right now I'm kinda meh to be honest.

Mostly squicked out by what happened to the doggie just a bit too real for me there.

Also REALLY hate the protag, just seems like a complete fucking doormat. I would've murderated Dio within an hour of meeting him, so its hard to sympathize with someone who lets him get away with shit for GODDAMN YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS. Not to mention the shit he takes from his dad.

I know from a cursory look on tvtropes that the second issue will be somewhat solved, and the second protag's description makes him sound a lot better, but for now I'm not really feeling it.

Probably soldier through more of it later, but first impression flopped hard.

[FuzzyZergling]

If you really can't stand the first season at all, maybe try out the second or third seasons.
Each part has a different protagonist, so it's easy to skip around.
