/a/ - Animu & Mango

Really great series, definitely one of the best shounen these days. Anime is really faithful but it's Toei, so pretty much unwatchable. Manga is slow at the beginning but speeds up after a bit, especially the invasion arc is great.

Ashihara is absolutely based with his character sheets and comments, he straight up tells you what's on his mind and what he actually thinks about the characters.

Literally all of this is bullshit, that's some shit tier baiting.

>>434224

Not all of it. World Trigger is aimed at I would say 9-12 year old boys.

>>434225

It is shounen but that claim is still pretty bullshit.

>>434232

>It takes away the danger from the character the audience is supposed to self insert as

Stopped reading there, you're just shitposting.

>>434237

>I am incapable of reading a full paragraph.

You really aren't helping your argument that this isn't meant for little kids.

>Episode pacing is very weird with the OP halfway through the episode

Seriously, is there any other anime that does this? I've never seen it before.

It isn't even always half way, sometimes it's 2/3rds or so through the episode before it plays.

The anime could be good if they stop shitting all over the main character. The entire cast BUT the main character is great and improves. But the main character continues to be fucking shitty and either lucks out or is carried by everyone else.

Its infuriating that he is just shitty skill wise and does nothing of note.

Back when the manga was just starting to get into swing, on chapter 25ish or something, I gave it a go. It was completely painfully mediocre, tending toward bad.

I dropped it about chapter 15 or something. Just couldn't handle it anymore.

Has it picked up in any fashion? Would you say it's worth another attempt?

The anime suffers from the same pacing problems as most Toei WSJ adaptations, but there's something about the manga that I like.

It's a bit formulaic, but the setting isn't nearly as moralistic as >>430586 implied. Some of the characters that are presented as "bad" early on are later shown to be fairly sympathetic and just have a different perspective than the main characters, especially the adults in Border.

Also I like tactician-type protagonists, and Mikumo is growing into that role nicely.

>No jin in their team

Disappointed. Why is he even so prominent in the opening when he barely plays a role anymore?

>>440753

The team is going to end up being two neighbors and lolicanon.

>>440757

Yeah it wasn't hard to figure out who he meant, but I would have preferred jin.

>>440757

dont forget weakpussy megane-kun.

>>440778

He is going to sit in a control room telling people what to do and getting all angsty when ever anyone reminds him he is useless. Then once his team(not him) saves the day he will get too full of himself and everyone will congratulate him for his "tactical genius" that amounted to "Chika shoot stuff," "Kuga bail everyone else out."

Douchebag is a liar and faggot. We knew this right from the beginning when he took credit for the kill at the school until they were able to prove he didn't do it. Then he "did the honorable thing" and admitted he didn't kill it and had instead been lying about it openly and to everyone's face for a while.

The press conference just pissed me the fuck off. I know Jin and the rest were thinking ahead about how to use this faggot, but he is so lacking in selfawareness that he makes his grand statement without realizing the truth.

Chika is ugly/cute. The gap moe drives me crazy. Like I know even in 2d land she is not pretty, but her personality is so sweet and gentle that it offsets her homeliness and makes her charming.

I want to stick it in her pooper.

>>430558

I tried to like it, I really did

I watched until about 1/2 way throo the the mechanic outsider and his vampire waifu come to visit arc

There's a lot of problems but I dropped it a while ago so I don't remember all of them

>characters don't feel like real characters ie - make desisions that don't make sense

>main character helping literally everyone

>younger, sniper girl is crazy strong and not allowed to really fight

>neighbor designs a shit

>i remember the outside government giving them tons of shit for basically fighting a war to stop the planet from being enslaved

>art was ok i guess

>i remember the pacing being weird

>Mikumo's whole shtick was he was supposed to be really smart but his planning and decision making ranged from retarded to sub par

>the opening not being at the beginning

I liked the trigger system, it was a cool concept

the different dimensions crossing over wasn't bad either

probably forgetting some stuff, feel free to remind me

The fugitive arc was anime only and it was shit. They are back to the regularly scheduled story and it is getting pretty good, because the nerd realized he is useless and keeps causing his team to fail. One of the S rankers told him he should take responsibility and implied he needs to kill himself. Mikumo is on suicide watch.

As for Chika not being allowed to fight, basically she is a once in a century massive power source and is target #1 for any neighbor that wanders by. She doesn't fight because she gets shit scared and can't pull the trigger.

>>440753

He is prominent. He's the one manipulating all the events to happen. None of the pieces wouldn't fall into place if he didn't have his side effect and do a lot of background work.

All I have to say is fuck tournament arcs. And this one has three of them. The filler arc was alright but a bit bland.

Dropped the manga recently, it got bad fast.

Author is trying to do too much shit instead of just focusing on the protags and it just ends up being convoluted and confusing.
