The Lounge: Official Spamzone Community Thread

So a friend of mine introduced me to the wonder that is JoJo (the anime specifically since i cannot find the manga for reading ANYWHERE)

it's ridiculous as **** and so crazy but i also love it so much. these OPs are too good pls save me from Arin Hanson Funny Valentine and his napkins asap

 

Battle Tendency best part Joseph Joestar best JoJo

 

i mean Bloody Storm is my fav OP so far

but as much as i've heard about Joseph, Josuke Urameshi is looking like he'll be one of my favs

behind Jotaro, of course. gotta love the major dicks

 

Don't think I didn't see that Yu Yu Hakusho reference.

Jotaro would be really cool if Stardust Crusaders didn't treat Polnareff as if he were the protagonist. Seriously the guy gets so much screen time.

Spoiler: Speaking of Yu Yu Hakusho, this came in yesterday

I got this for my brother's graduation

 

I MEANT for people to see the Yu Yu Hakusho reference dude

I am so jealous of you right now honestly i love YYH and i'd love to have all those blurays (if they weren't gonna cost me like $60 each)

 

It's for my brother, not me. And check Funimation's store every week. They had a deal where each of the four seasons on Blu-Ray was less than $20 each, which is when I bought them.

 

i figured out why i dont like narutos design in part 2.
its the headband
i dont like that its black

given how much of a symbol that blue headband was throughout all of part 1, and given how important of a symbol it was for naruto himself, it feels out of character for him to have a new one that is a different color and a different style. and i never liked the front of his black and orange jacket.. actually thinking about it im not sure i like any designs from part 2. part 1 had better designs and the last, even though i hate that movie, it has the sweetest designs in the whole series. everyone looks like a total badass.

 

Part 2 is Shippuden, right?

 

Quote of the year.

 

yeah

 

I'm incredibly disappointed in myself for something I don't know is worth feeling this way about.

I've been working on an AMV on-and-off during this semester for Anime Expo, and its main category AMV Competition already stopped taking submissions at the end of April.

I was really liking what I was doing and I got maybe half-way through...now I have no drive at all.

 

Depends on your personality I guess, what' s your Myers Briggs type ?

I' m an INTP, the hardest part for me is to start anything. I' m perceived as this giant ass procrastinator. But once I do start, or once my interest is caught, there' s just no stopping me. I' ll go to the bottom of it, slowly but surely, and I won' t count the hours.

 

more naruto talk because i know everyone's really interested in what i have to say

even though im reading and watching like seventeen thousand things right now and not making real progress in any because i keep switching, i really want to go back and read naruto. partially because ive not read it straight through since it ended, but mainly because i think things about characters that are based on vague memories and childhood emotions. i want to experience it from beginning to end to see what i think about characters before i start saying things like "sakura is one of my favorite characters" and "sasuke is a really interesting character." ill almost certainly like sakura by the end bc thats a character ive always really liked, but sasuke was alllll over the place in the last couple hundred chapters and i loved where he ended up but i dont remember enough to say if it was done well.

 

ISTJ (turbulent variant)

I was caught up in school stuff and other things to the point where I completely forgot the due date for submissions. I figured it was going to be the start of June, but alas I'm wrong.

Are there any other manga that you enjoy and can recommend?

 

intj
though sometimes i think im infj. my friend says i should test again but i really dont care enough to bother

o boy

obligatory recs
well one piece of course but i realize that's a major commitment. but still. i recommend the hell out of that.
and this may sound redundant but i do actually recommend naruto. i think its way better than its often given credit for being.
d. gray man's pretty sweet. so is soul eater.

aside from that
akira - **** the movie. the manga is a masterpiece.
pluto, 20th century boys, billy bat (literally anything by naoki urasawa) - of those 3 the only one ive finished is pluto and thats because its only like 50 chapters i think and is a quick read. urasawa is easily the best storyteller in manga that ive read. although dont read pluto without reading part of one of the astro boy books. i mean you totally can, but pluto is a reimagining of one story from that series. pluto is fantastic. it made atom (astro boy, but specifically atom from this series bc theyre different characters.) one of my favorite characters in anything ever.
believers. pretty explicit stuff here but a short, good read regardless.

 

DID SOMEONE SAY JOJO?!?!?! This is the perfect time since I'm currently in my jjba phase.

Also, did you try looking for the manga on the apps because I read all of them on an app.

 

D. Gray Man is already a recommendation from my girlfriend.
Soul Eater I probably will read at some point because of how awful the (otherwise great) anime's finale was. Also, having seen what Maka and the others do in the manga is super appealing.
Akira, I might, though I'm not sure if your post is against the film or just promoting the manga due to its lower popularity? I like the film still.
Pluto is the title of the manga or what?

 

yeah pluto's the title
in my opinion soul eater didnt get really fantastic until right after the anime goes a different direction. so yeah read it.
i didnt like akira until i read it. i acknowledge why the movie is the way it is and its significance, but the way the manga handled the story was better i thought.

 

In other words do whatever the hell pleases you. If you' d be happy to finish your AMV, do that. If you' d rather do something else, do that. Stop running after that ever elusive perfection.

I' m not surprised. Just like I wasn' t surprised to hear Machina is an INTP, and he wasn' t surprised to find out I am one too. It seems us two types can spot each other pretty quickly.

I don' t know either since I didn' t read the manga, but the movie is pretty good. My dad and my two sis liked it as well.
