  1. Started playing Riders of Icarus 3 days ago. A great game. Still in open beta but great. Flying on a dragon and killing things is priceless. It's similar to pokemon in a way, you capture animals to use them. The only difference is you mainly ride them instead of telling them to beat each other to death. If anyone plays it at EU give me a PM

    I actually made a mistake -- and have since fixed my original post -- but at that point I was referring to Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya o Mezasu.

    I don't see why you quoted him in particular then, if it was more of a general thought you had.

    I quoted him because I didn't want to appear completely random.

    Well I will return to the topic. Imo Majikoi has a vast world full of different characters. In a sense it's vast range of characters is what makes it unique. Instead of making random "all-ages crap" they should focus on that world. At least until someone from Minatosoft has an ephiphany and have a good idea for a new game.

    Thankfully, they're not making Majikoi All-Ages.
    From my understanding, Mr. Justin was disregarding Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya o Mezasu off the bat as "All Ages Crap". This statement then prompted Mr. Nazim's reply, which you quoted. But your response seems to have no connection to the issue at hand: Mainly the quality of the alleged VN in question.

    Fool! I wasn't under that impression in the first place. I just had that thought and expressed it lol. :D btw is "the alleged VN in question" Majikoi or Shoujo-tachi?

    It's because of what I said. Mon's route lays the basics for what could be a great development for Yamato, but barely touches it. Azumi's route does touch on it a bit more, Yamato being more experienced, going up the ranks, etc.

    Yeah, I wonder If Lee and Stacy routes put any focus on his development as a super-butler.

    I'm not sure if letting someone approach, on their expressed promise not to do anything funny, then get raped into gayness, is considered consent xD

    Well.... It's a... matter of perspective... I guess.. Probably.... Well don't sweat the details. Everyone involved turned out to be happy right? Except Azumi who got doomed to be single for life.

  6. Started playing Blade and Soul (EU) It is a F2P game and you can feel it but it's still fun, with the bots and spammers... I wish it was a B2P or P2P well can't do anything about it sadly. And apparently an overzealous localization team have screwed some things up though I'm not exactly knowledgable about it

  7. I've heard that the NA/EU localization team screwed up and censored the game a lot, not the appearances but the story itself was changed... But the latest update I heard on the issue was on november and couldn't find anything else. Could someone enlighten me whether they fixed that issue or not?

    Later volumes include mutual masturbation while naked.  Its getting quite humorous actually. 

    All the existing volumes are already translated... I doubt it'll ever come to naked handjobs, I'm not very informed about the subject but I believe the authors have some age restrictions. Though the restrictions are similar to using mosaics in porn.. I mean describing over the clothes handjobs are way more erotic than telling you the chars had sex but without describing how they did it. They never have sex... If the characters in Magica reach max affection points without having sex I'll be seriously pissed...

    That actually doesn't happen very often.  So far, the only two that got DMCA'd like that were Campione and Papa Kiki, both by the same publisher Shueisha.  If you are referring to the Kadokawa takedown, people have been throwing rumors around that Kadokawa is going to revive those series with Bookwalker International, which means we will see a translation if that happens.  Other than that, all the series' that were abandoned have been licensed.

    I stay away from Xianxia because it is even more monotropic than shonen is.  It's like the Hallmark of storytelling: if you have read one, you've basically read them all.  They all tell the same exact story but with a different coat of paint, so they become incessantly more predictable as they progress.

    Since you liked Campione!, I would point you to Leviathan of the Covenant which is also written by the same author, but I don't understand light novel publishing well, so I can't tell you it's chances of surviving either.  But Magika no Kenshi plays on similar principles as Campione!, but I suspect within 18 months it will probably get an anime and YP license too. :vinty:

    I've read Magika no Kenshi and Leviathan of the Covenant after you've recommended them to me, and I really enjoyed Magika, but Leviathan was a bit dissapointing (no, not because they weren't making out in every volume).

    I'm not sure that Magika will get an adaptation, there are some scenes that are pretty much over the clothes hentai...

    over the clothes hand job etc

    . Story and the action part were pretty good and interesting though.

    As for Leviathan It was like pokemon battles with dragons. Characters were uninteresting and out of character actions were too common. Well the author admitted that he was pretty much forced to write it...

    Well Shuffle! is a good harem anime but if you are going to play the visual novel, the anime will spoil some of it.

    Trinity seven and Sekirei are good. Have a million more, but if you watch those and dont enjoy them then the harem genre isnt for you :P

    :pyaa: I will not let such a comment about her slide! I challenge you to a duel my friend! 

      Reveal hidden contents

    Well he obviously doesn't do it right away, and you are right about the way the harem works and the girls in it. It is also one of the reasons why I love DxD. :P But towards the later volumes, he does pretty much choose Rias and she chooses him. 

     

     

    You're wrong. What Abyssal Monkey said is still true. The girls are too dependant on him and he has already made the decision to accept all of them.

     

    Spoiler

    See his promise to Akeno. Until Issei porks Rias, they are simply holding themselves back

    UQ Holder is still ongoing, so I would throw that one out. If you wanted a protagonist who was proactive in his confession with the harem, there's quite a few out there.  I would totally throw Negima under the bus for the two reasons of the pactio's were born more out of necessity than romance except near the end, where it became obvious that the series was headed towards a rushed end. Even then, we STILL didn't get a proper ending. I would say DxD is actually the only legitimate example in this case because it's already blatantly clear he has a harem and it is going to stay that way. 

    All of the tropes I've seen in this thread are complaints about quantity or misuse rather than the actual annoyance of the trope.  It's all "I see this way too damn much". 

    For me, an actual annoyance of a trope is the split protagonist being introduced partway through the story.  Since most manga are written by expansion rather than full storyboard, the introduction of a second protagonist to add a second side of the story.  It breaks the story and places it on effective hiatus without actually stopping serialization. 

     

    UQ Holder is still ongoing but its doing things right so far. As for Negima main character is 10 years old and he is too focused on his goal to look at the girls, so he has a legitimate reason not to be interested in romance. 

    Also its normal to complain about the quantity, because If its rare then it would simply be an issue for a particular anime or manga and not a trope.

    I don't know why you would expect that considering
    a) It's still an on-going manga series
    b) It's an ecchi harem romcom and those things hardly ever get proper endings

    Even as a manga reader I don't expect Monser Musume's manga to give me a proper ending.

    The only harem series I've ever seen give us an actual conclusive ending is The World God Only Knows, but only the manga, the anime got cut short. It probably took the author a lot of balls to actually pick one of the girls out of the like 20+ girls available.

    And on the other side of the spectrum, you've got shit like Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, which seems really promising since we know who the protagonist is kind of leaning torwards and we know the girl reciprocates his feelings,

    Spoiler

    and then they make him actually date one of the OTHER girls for a full year, only to then have them break up when they graduate. That's literally how the light novel ends. Needless to say everyone was pissed.

     

    UQ Holder!, Negima and DxD are my top picks in regards to Harem Manga/LN, because they don't have those stupid stuff, its either the protagonist is pretty active in his feelings or he actually has a proper reason not to pick someone instead of some undecisive reasons. Seriously NOT PICKING A GIRL is actually an option if its done properly. Forcing drama in a harem series is just stupid... I'd get it if its a love triangle, thats a death sentence for the people involved... But making a drama out of a harem is just asking for trouble.

    Another anime trope I hate a lot: CRAPPY WESTERN NAMES, dammit they are everywhere, is it really that hard to find some normal western names. Just use John Smith If you're desperate, oh that was done in Campione!, well done sir. Anyway why don't the japanese authors use google?

    Key protagonists are the literal definition of not doing anything and being super useless (but nice) and getting every single woman to fall in love with you. Every Key protagonist also has the bumbling idiot friend who makes them look so much cooler than they actually are. They are the protagonists that never act on sex (because if men do that it's evil), thus showing ladies how it's done and then watching them become horny and proceed to consistently have sex until drama sets in.

    When drama comes up in a woman's life, they stand there pretending they can actually solve something. In the end, they do literally nothing and merely wait for the right opportunity to have an epic speech reminding their girlfriend that they will and have always loved them even though they [the woman] are insecure about themselves and don't believe it's possible to have such an awesome boyfriend. At this point, time leaps occur and some magic is sprinkled on and everything is perfect.

    The end.

    "Every Key protagonist also has the bumbling idiot friend who makes them look so much cooler than they actually are." I can't let that comment slide! Yoshino wasn't a bumbling idiot. Don't insult the MAD DOG
