This year's like the return of the dark edginess that time forgot.

Will that buzzword ever die?

[Shinzai]

Have to agree. I don't know what is going on with adaptations this year but I love whoever is making all the decisions.

As much as people like to rant on Shingeki, it seems to have opened the flood gates for a lot of darker manga adaptations.

Shy/bashful I think ?

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
Honestly it looked like \o/ which is like cheering man but like... \./ would be cheering man with small head.

That's why you get https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...aafohlbn?hl=en and save them there. Just have to copy-paste them afterwards.

But then you have to use chrome...

I would argue that Hellsing gave them the key to those gates.
But yes, good job Shingeki. Maybe now will suffering and terror overtake groping and happy irresponsibility.

I bet Buronsou is overcome with glee.

I'm thinking the edge word?

The characters are the absolute best part of Akame ga Kill. You have no idea. You've only seen a small fraction of all the characters. There's dozens of great characters on both sides.

Time will tell, just not a big fan of what I've seen in the first episode character wise. Tatsumi is a bit annoying, in particular, and color coded main characters each with an exaggerated anime trait has been done to death. That's nothing but first episode impressions, though. I'll take your word for it.

Yeah I've seen it used to much but don't even get what it defines

You've got to keep in mind that it's playing up the shounen tropes to no end for its own means and impact further down the line. I think of it kind of like the way episode 1 of Here And There, Now And Then/Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku starts out - it presents itself as another generic shounen as hard as possible, then goes off the rails. Akame Ga Kill's like a watered down version of that mentality.

It's got kind of an accumulated meaning for anime now - new stuff that's intense, trying to be different, or just has dark moments, or isn't moe-blob-festival-2014.

It can be used a lot of ways... in this case referring to dark/gory/death/etc themes, the edgy phrase itself becomes more applicable when it feels like the show is tryharding the themes (hence Akuma no Edge last season).

Feels repetive (and sad) to say that it gets better with the Jaegers, who might as well have been the main cast instead of Tatsumi and Night Raid.
Bors is too moe

There are definately a lot of happy moments, so it's not really that much of an "edgy tryhard" that some people like say it is.

Yeah I've seen it used to much but don't even get what it defines

-Innovative as in "cutting edge"
-Nervously irritable; impatient and anxious.
-(of paintings, drawings, etc) excessively defined
-On the edge between acceptable and offensive

Tatsumi + Jaegers best.

Tatsumi + Jaegers best.

Jaegers already have a Tatsumi, Leone or Najenda is better.

I can get that, Madoka and Higurashi do the same things with magical girls and cuteness, respectively. The amount of blood and shortness of the fights has already set it apart from other shounen series, so if it goes even further from that genre it'll just get better.

But then we won't have the best Esdese scenes.

[bals]

I'm glad we have steered away from "MC is a typical high school guy, runs into girl on the way to school, trips over and accidentally gropes her and get knocked into the sky. Girl is transfer student and will sit next to him" trope.
But Nisekoi wants to drag us back.'

or maybe im not noticing it anymore since i only watch two series a season

you forgot the girl has to have a piece of a toast in her mouth!

Maybe she will steal Wave from Kurome?

B-but I also like that pairing... ;_;
