[Decalcomania]

Good morning, King.

Good night, everyone.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hellos king~

 

[AhGwee]

Nighty-o Decal~

 

[KingArturia]

Bye Decal

Gwee, I'm talking about the latest chapter of Medaka's Box

Hey Sammy

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Medaka's box... is it an anime?

 

[AhGwee]

Manga, but it also has an anime. 12 episodes.

 

[KingArturia]

No, I'm talking about Medaka's Box latest chapter in the manga! They introduced her father :3 Manga is just getting more and more awesome

 

[Decalcomania]

I thought it was just Medaka Box, not Medaka's Box.

 

[KingArturia]

It is, but I'm getting this habit of typing the 's after a person name xD

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm so the manga is better here? xD

 

[Decalcomania]

'Medaka's Box'.

Nyehehehe.

 

[KingArturia]

The manga goes further, doesn't make the anime worse, but the anime only covers the first arc

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm so theres a possibility of other seasons~

 

[AhGwee]

My goodness, that's a lot of DBZ movies on the front page. I think I'll download them...maybe.

Manga's usually better since they are usually more focused on story than the anime and are ongoing. When they make an anime adaptation, animators tend to make an alternate ending when they catch up too fast. I also prefer the art style of manga to anime. And usually 24 minutes is a bit too long when you could read 2-5 chapters in that time.

The advantage to anime is, of course, the animation. Sometimes it's great to see some scenes animated since I feel that some scenes are better reflected when made into an anime (Prince of Tennis for example). Also, the anime has voice acting and OSTs which is always a plus for me. Each have their pros and cons I guess.

 

[KingArturia]

Possibility is huge, since I believe Medaka is very well received in Japan, at least the manga is, not so sure about the anime. With its original creativity and twist on character, I see Medaka Box to have at least another 2 seasons if the sales on Blu Ray is reasonably high

and they don't mess up the story with the adaptation that is

 

[Decalcomania]

Visual Novels with animations = /me cries manly tears.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm i read really slow so each ep is about a chapter for meh xD I take time looking at the art and stuff...

 

[KingArturia]

Well, each episode is roughly about 2 chapters.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

So watching anime would be faster than manga for me... depending what manga...

 

[Decalcomania]

Hooray for speed reading.

 

[AhGwee]

*ehehe* Indeed, but I'm able to speed read while appreciating the art at the same time.

 

[KingArturia]

Hm...having read manga for 14-15 years, I think I speed read as well. But I generally read it once more after that to take more noticing of the art...etc

 

[AhGwee]

Depending on the series, I read the manga more than once.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm for certain complicated scenes i could probably just sit around for a couple minutes looking at details and whatnot~

 

[KingArturia]

Normally I review them every now and then, I read a series of manga at least 3 times xD
