Hmmmm...I have been an anime fan for a very very long time, but I don't think I have a favorite character. I have characters that I like, some of whom I've purchased merchandise of them, since I liked them and the series they came from, but not enough to call any of them an all time favorite. That being said...I do have a character that I feel lik......
Hmmm..this is interesting. I thought my most disliked comment would be the one I left for Waterside Night (12/14) or A Room Without Window (7/8).
This was a fun ride with the MC being so powerful he could defeat his enemies with a little more than a flick of his hand. My only regrets while reading were once he powered up more he stopped using his glasses and secondly we didn't get to see him use his true form in battle more often. Because he was right -- that long white hair was indeed too sexy. ♡_♡
Satou aka Boshi from Ajin Demi-Human -- just because the Ajins are somewhat immortal doesn't negate their human rights.
It had a very good start, but it started to get lost toward the ending. The author had too many ongoing plot points and couldn't properly tie them together. Which made the final battle anticlimactic. Heck, Jiha could have returned to the garden for the miniature of the labyrinth and squished the fake demon god with one finger. We never saw the demon lords battle in the labyrinth, after being told they were too powerful they had to be sealed in it. What was the point of appointing warriors to stand as your swords and shields. We only saw Mary fight; readers never saw the glasses guy fight anything he was mostly there for bureaucratic work. All the hunters, despite being blessed or in contract with a Nature god, were still overwhelmed and weak in the big battle. Plus, the fight wasn't thrilling at all.
Also, what happened to the Wild Elves?? Suddenly they disappeared from the story once Gehenna moved to Earth. Didn't they have some special connection to the World Tree?? How did the people of Gehenna adapt to Earth?? Medieval meets modern society. The plot of kidnapping of Jiha was super short. How about the island that the whale dragged over to Jiha?? What did he use it for?? Or the sudden, but gratefully ignored, love interest the Flame guild master held for Jiha that came out of nowhere. Why??
I have more gripes, but my biggest problem is why should the Nature Gods or Terradrones hover around Jiha when he's no longer a god or the World's Tree gardener?? Ark left his post to battle intergalactic invaders, but now that has been solved shouldn't he regain his sanctuary and minions?? Honestly, the author should have just left Jiha as a god-in-training instead of removing his divinity.
Final score: 3-stars.
Knish -- When I was younger and visited family in NY I badly wanted to try one of these, since a popular actor from a popular television series would talk about them fondly. I got them the traditional way: hot off a street vendor's cart. I so excited. However, the first bite was disgusting!! It tasted like old, rancid oil with a fried potato. Gross......
If it recently got an "official" upload of chapters they usually (stupidly) change the name to align with the official version. I found several of mine that I thought disappeared were now found under the official name and no longer the fan translated name.
I'm not a big fan of ecchi or harem anime. I really dislike harem anime where either the male or female of the obsession is useless. Also, I prefer my anime to have mixed groups, I don't like seeing all the same gender, especially if it's an apocalyptic setting.

People who upload officials are annoying. Especially those who upload officials over a good fan translation for such flimsy reasoning as the sound effects weren't translated. And when you upload the officials over good scan groups like Asura, Reaper, Corona Kids, or Leviathan, and many others that are some of the best groups out ......
I'm a little older than y'all, but here goes...
Not really traumatized...but definitely shocked and it was the first anime that made me cry. Fushigi Yuugi. It was the first time I ever experienced an animated, somewhat main, character really die. It broke my heart.
2nd Place goes to Sailor Moon as I had already been spoiled about the Senshi's ......
I'm not seeing the same thing; perhaps, it's because I give more attention to the story than the character designs. ^^;; While I understand your frustrations, you have to remember that Asian countries have a different concept of beauty.
I read a lot of manhua (mostly historical) and one of the biggest things I see is they don't like any imperfec......
Samyang. It's a bigger block and it has a nice spicy flavor. However...After being introduced to Mie Goreng, I have become a true believer. It's absolutely delicious!!
I'm not too sad about Tapas going away as I've never liked their translations. Their translators always seemed to translate in a Western-style (localization) removing anything that could be considered international or too Asian. For instance, a lot of their translations removed honorfics and used modern slang despite the setting being historical or......
I have a 3-way tie:

I'm here after reading the first volume of the novel. Having read the first volume and now part of the manga adaptation, I can't help feel like this is a combination of XXXoholic and Jigoku no Shojou (Hell Girl). Random people with issues showing up at a strange home, getting advice, ignoring said advice, an investigation, and then being sent to Hell for not repenting their actions.
I'll read more, but I need the manga artist to look at the novel rendition of the MC because he is way more beautifully depicted in the novel verses the manga.
Your tastes may have evolved. You should trying reading novels. May I suggest the SK holy trinity: S-Classes that I Raised, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, and Trash of the Count's Family. Also, all of these have a manhwa adaption, but I think you should read the novels first. ^__^
As for evolving tastes, it happens to everybody as they mature and ......
Nope. Not weirded out at all. I actually prefer the usage of honorfics, familial identifiers, and culturally specific endearments and idioms. Removing them makes it more European/Western and takes away the Asian feel of the work.
That's why I love most fan translations that kept the terms and just used a translator note near the word or a footnot......
