Elija2 recommends some manga

[Elija2]

Oh man, at this rate you're gonna read through my entire recommendations list!

[Hakudamashi]

Just like you always wanted.

[Elija2]

Now that you've started, you can never stop.

[Hakudamashi]

That's what happens when I actually schedule time to read, rather than relying on myself to feel like reading.

[Elija2]

This is what happens when I stop begging you for a while.

[Hakudamashi]

That also helped.

[Elija2]

Reverse psychology works!

[Hakudamashi]

I'm not liking these character designs.

[Elija2]

I'm not liking these character designs.

Is it because they don't have generic anime designs?

[Hakudamashi]

Sure kid.

[Hakudamashi]

Well, that was Planetes...

eeehhhhhhh

Other than a few concepts that get left up in the air, or get wrapped up underwhelmingly... I was kinda bored.
Everything I can think to say I liked about it gets equally trumped by something I didn't like about it, but I did find it interesting enough to watch it all the way to the end.

5/10.

[Elija2]

It seemed like you were enjoying it a lot up until recently. What exactly didn't you like about it (other than the girls having masculine faces)?

[Hakudamashi]

As I mentioned, it brings up concepts that I found interesting and got invested in, but they either leave it up in smoke, or they pay off is underwhelming.

Like, to this day I don't see the point of Yuri having a wife, I don't see the point of bringing up Fee's Uncle, I don't see the point of bringing up that one woman that tried to kill herself.

Or maybe the manga's too smart for me.

[Elija2]

Symbolism, bro. The manga is trying to teach you a lesson and shit.

[Hakudamashi]

So I just read 5 CM per Second

The first few chapters were really cute, but then after that I got really fucking bored, then after that I got really fucking angry.

4/10
