Same actress as the one who starred in the Mirai Nikki live-action adaptation, btw.

Yeah...but I'll watch an animated one if I can

Cause Cosmic is an advocate of: リアルなんてクソゲーだ。

[Cosmic Eagle]

Rubbish...I just find 2D more pleasing to my eyes. And a better medium in general.

Doesn't mean 3D is クソゲー not unless they screw it up anyway

IT DOESN'T EXIST, IT DOESN'T EXISTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

It's not just bad casting, they kinda fuck up everything too.

いまわかってる変更点まとめ

I hope her mom makes an appearance. I bet I'm going to like her as much as Shioriko (just imagining two bibliophiles with well-endowed buxom with glasses and long hair is too much for my heart). Though isn't the new arc going to be a longer story? I wouldn't be surprised if it spans several volume. I might save it up so I don't get cliffhanged to death. Honestly, the only good thing about the drama is that novel sales get boosted again!

*flips table*
I want the next Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Last volume ended in a terrible cliffhanger (Saikas are SUPER interesting). Maa~~ Baccano's cool too though.

Well to stay on topics. The new Kindaichi arc's out (if anyone follows that).

LN wise. Just the ones I think most people know/care.

Wait, FMP sigma got 2 volume out on the same month? And another volume on the following month? Has they given up on picking new readers already?

On the topic of biblia, Shioriko's mom seems to be a more cold-blooded version of Shioriko's in regards of collecting books, but I can't wait for her appearance in the next volume too

BTW, biblia's drama existence is already erased from my memory :P

Was it doing any good ? Or are majority of the FMP fans strictly English speakers ?

As far as I can remember, FMP is the highest selling LN of Fujimi Shobou besides Slayers. So yeah, it is popular.

As for Biblia, still going to check out the drama, I guess. Perhaps, because I'm not familiar with actors/actresses nor watch a lot of drama adaptations, so I'm a little naive

[kuroishinigami]

Considering FMP is in the top 10 total sales in ln series, I would guess it does pretty well in Japan too I'm not sure about sigma though, since it basically a brand new series with totally different cast using the FMP world.

Is a 14.3% viewer rating good or bad ?

Anime comparison.

But when compared to a live-action series like Kindaichi, it's far less lol...

[kuroishinigami]

Well, you can't really compare anime(especially late night one) and live action drama due to different time slot and target audience. I guess the kindaichi comparison is more fair in this case.

Detective Galileo also manage to get similar viewer rating during its airing BTW

Yes, I realized that late night Anime's viewer ratings are single digits But I have no idea how it would stand with other TV series.

Well I'm sure it would build up... I guess... Somehow... Probably...

Lol I was about to ask that

That sounds absolutely alluring don't you think, not to mention Shioriko is definitely her heir by blood and [hidden?] personality. The last arc of volume 1 is what really made me fall in love with the character after all .

I tried a few times to watch it, mostly got to the 10 minutes mark and gave up. The female lead's charm's ... very weak.

BUT

The story's just too good; I managed to finish the whole thing around 4-5th attempt, and the BGM at the later parts are actually quite stellar. I mean it IS getsukyuu time slot, the production value's definitely on par with the expected standard. I am a super impulsive person, and I probably rushed my judgments too early. I still recommend checking this out (I personally will stick around for a few episodes for sure, since I didn't really have any jdrama to watch ever since Hitori Shizuka).

[Endscape]

Has anyone here read Kaze ni mau Brigandine? I'd like to hear an opinion on it.

[Kudryavka]

It's okay to suggest non-Japanese comics and light novels to?

Actually, the final nail in the coffin for me is the cast for Goura. The director really shoud find a more bigger and bulky actor for him considering his description and defining characteristic in the novel =.=". I agree that the BGM is pretty good though


on topic :

Is there any news for Dengeki March release? Finally finished 2nd volume of magdala de nemure and can't wait for the next volume to come out. Those mettalurgy vocab can be quite headache inducing though
