Wait, WTF? They made her white?!?! That's dumb as shit. On a related question, anybody know for sure what Casca's ethnicity is supposed to be? I reread the series recently and don't remember it being mentioned, but I always assumed it was whatever the manga equivalent is of the Moors.

I've never watched or read Beserk. Guess I'll give it a shot... or start watching Fairy Tale.

Read it, definitely the superior method. Despite being one of the most important mangas around it's anime adaptions have varied between mediocre and terrible.

always thought she's originally from Kushan, which would be the equivalent of south asia.

Haven't really seen any new series except for Ajin, which I thought was really cool. I just saw the last part of Durarara!! season 2 is finally on Netflix so that will probably be next on my list.

For anyone who's seen it, how's God Eater? I'm playing the game on PS4 now and really enjoying it, wondering if the anime adaptation is any good.

I'm like 75% he did a review of it in his last batch, he gave it a C or D.

Yup:
Brawling Go - Ongoing - [C] - Some hot babes, but if I just want porn then I'll go watch porn. I found the characters uninteresting and the humor flat. Need more than just titties to keep me interested.
 
40th Annual Kodansha Manga Awards' Nominees Announced

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...ansha-manga-awards-nominees-announced/.100646

Shounen: DAYS (Wanted/Expected Hero Academia)
Shoujo: Kiss Him, Not Me (Didn't particularly care)
General: Konodori (Wanted/Expected Golden Kamuy or Erased)

20th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize Nominees Announced

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...samu-cultural-prize-nominees-announced/.99094

Hanagami Sharaku and Yotsuba&! tied and both won. Sad Golde Kamuy didn't win...BUT IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME SINCE YOTSUBA IS GOD TIER!!!

Thoughts and opinions on the nominees and the winners of course. For the Kodansha Awards, it feels kind of...iffy that all of the winners are published by that house.

Edit: Reason for posting is that a few of these are enjoyed by members here or have come up a few times in reviews and thought it might make an interesting topic of discussion.

Hmm, haven't read DAYS. MHA is definitely better than the other two nominees for Shounen.

EDIT: Just read the first two chapters of DAYS and it's terrible.
EDIT2: Gave up after the fourth chapter. Really really bad stuff. Dunno what the award criteria are supposed to be but this crap shouldn't be winning anything, ever.

What in specific made it terrible, I mean other than the seemingly clichéd premise of the whole fucking thing. Again,this comes back to my whole thing if this is a Publishing House Award(as in only Kodansha works are eligible) or if it's open to works of other publishers, but hosted by Kodansha(which in turn makes it INCREDIBLY iffy to me). And I agree with Heavyarms that Toriko needs more love. Thoughts on the General Award nominees and winner? The Tezuka Award I have no complaints since though I'm unfamiliar with most and only know Chihayafuru and have only read Golden Kamuy and Yotsuba&!, I can't see any specific faults with any of the works winning. This is depending on the criteria for winning or course, but even then.

For DAYS, it was a combination of being massively cliched and all this unearned melodrama. The kid is getting bullied, the mother's in a wheelchair and they have this whole extended conversation that's so forced, the kid's just a huge twerp, but oh wait he's going to try so hard and put effort into something and he's making new friends with the cool kid and everybody's going to acknowledge what a hard worker he is and maybe he'll be able to ask out his cute childhood friend/neighbor who he obviously has a massive boner for and this will turn around his whole school experience so it'll be all so great and *BARF*

In the general category I haven't read Konodori or Tokyo Tarareba Musume. Of the other three I liked what I had read of Ajin, thought Erased was boring, and haven't read enough of Kamuy to really form a strong opinion yet (seems like it has a premise with very strong potential but it hasn't really sucked me in yet).

The stuff for the Tezuka I'm really not all that familiar with. Chihayafuru was too shoujo for me (flowers, flowers everywhere) and Yotsuba is the sort of slice-of-life I really don't care for. The rest I haven't heard of before.
