You haven't fuckin' watched fooly cooly?

Jesus christ, how can we have so many weebs that have seen all the most obscure shit imaginable, yet you haven't seen fooly cooly?
Blows my fuckin' mind.

Actually I'm pretty sure most of the shows I've watched are pretty mainstream.

Like I said, I'm more of a manga guy.

Alright, so Spirit Circle, a manga, just ended. It's from the same author as the guy who wrote Wakusei no Samidare (Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer). It's a fantastic manga and I recommend it to literally anyone.

It goes by both names iirc. I honestly don't want to give too much away, so I just recommend diving into Spirit Circle from the get-go. Don't bother reading the summaries though cause imo they're pretty misleading.

I also finished up to the most recent chapter of Jojolion a month ago. I'm willing to talk about it.

FLCL season 2 synopsis:

"In the new season of FLCL, many years have passed since Naota and Haruhara Haruko shared their adventure together. Meanwhile, the war between the two entities known as Medical Mechanica and Fraternity rages across the galaxy. Enter Hidomi, a young teenaged girl who believes there is nothing amazing to expect from her average life, until one day when a new teacher named Haruko arrives at her school. Soon enough, Medical Mechanica is attacking her town and Hidomi discovers a secret within her that could save everyone, a secret that only Haruko can unlock."

It's a new story happening in the same universe, but instead of phallic symbolism, we see vulvas.


So, basically, you're wrong.

Uhhh I havent even started jojolion yet hahah. I actually didnt read the final battle of steel ball run and just spoiled myself. Might come back to Jojo soon since I'm running out of manga to read.

I'm finishing up Ouroboros and beginning 20th Century Boys. So I might just add Spirit Circle into the mix. Can you at least tell me what genre it is?

Anybody else here read Toriko? I've been reading it for the last year or so and I've been freakin' hooked on it. It'd be nice to run into some folk here who kept up with it as well.

(Emphasis on read. The anime is total crap.)

What state are they in exactly?

Hewitt! And you were telling me that everyone should read Jojo.
I honestly started to like Steel Ball Run less and less as it when on. It had a strong beginning, but as it went on it started to have most of the problems that I had with Vento Aureo and Stone Ocean. I think Diamond is Unbreakable and Stardust Crusaders still remain as my favorite parts so far.

I'm finishing up Ouroboros and beginning 20th Century Boys. So I might just add Spirit Circle into the mix. Can you at least tell me what genre it is?

It's sort of hard to explain. It's like... supernatural slice of life coming age mystery thriller? The summary makes it sound like Noragami or other stereotypical ghost/spirit manga, but it's honestly nothing like that.

You'll get what I mean when I read it. All I can say is that I walked out of it feeling the same emotions I had when I walked out of Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer.

I actually hate Toriko. I thought it was alright at first since the art was beautiful, but recently it's completely lost its way and lost what I thought were the aspects of it that made it unique and enjoyable.

I believe they went bankrupt.
Either that or a huge amount of the members went to work at Studio Trigger
