I quite liked the new episode that came out today. I'd also like more suspense, but both of these first arcs are too short for much of that. @yurirei: I was mostly referring to tagging completed series in my original post. It's fine if a series is slow and a relationship starts as friendship...

Episode 2 was out today. It was pretty good. We did get some internal monologue on Sorawo's part this time.

Shoujo-Ai is sort of falling out of use in the West (especially on manga aggregators). It's used primarily for some kind of 'soft yuri' or 'intense friendship'. Many yuri fans (myself included) resent the term. Any yuri without romantic or sexual feelings isn't yuri and doesn't need its own...

@vp787: This is the biggest problem with many text to video adaptations. It's handled in a lot of different ways. Some add internal narration voice sections, some slightly alter the dialogue in order to express internally-narrated thoughts in conversation, some try to express the feelings and...

@Agavadon That is literally what the series is though? It's a gung-ho sense of adventure, up until the horror starts, then they barely escape alive and throw a party. That's how most of the arcs function. I would say the abrupt clash of tones is a fundamental aspect of the series, so I don't...

First episode of the anime is up on Funimation as of 30 minutes ago: https://www.funimation.com/shows/otherside-picnic/wiggle-waggle-hunting/ Only watched the first half so far, but it's quite good. Matches the manga/LN almost perfectly. Intro wasn't bad either.

Wouldn't surprise me if the animal club was about draining them for their blood. It's a typical vampire trope to prey on animals instead of humans if possible.

@norctune @SunnyShim A lot of stuff in this arc won't make sense in terms of "why would they rely on these girls so much" until you put things in proper context. The soldiers are absolutely fucking desperate. They have lost most of their forces since arriving at in the Otherside and endured...

I really like that they didn't forget about the soldiers trapped there (well, I mean, they sort of did, but sort of didn't).

I find it weird that the editor's original complaint was that you could understand the characters too well. Is that because it reduces the mystery or novelty of things and readers might find it boring? Or is it something else?

Wait, what? They're sleeping together and sharing a residence, so I thought they were girlfriends. I mean, I guess it was never established, but it just seemed so obvious. But now this chapter is making it sound like they're only roommates or something. I guess I need to re-read because I must...

I like this development. Ito needed to realize she was being dumb as hell, and she did. Similar shouldn't let a fan who treats her badly push her around, even if she is in love with them. Now they will be forced to talk things over (after Sumika works herself to exhaustion).

@Danglark I know, right? I don't like yaoi at all, in fact, I sort of despise it for being so much more popular than yuri. I know it isn't the fault of the genre or even its genre fans, but I still feel that way. Every time I open the latest releases on a manga app and find that 13 of the top 20...

@Dzimitory92 Shipping characters on the cover of the manga with characters who don't appear on the cover of the manga is always a doomed affair; you should know that by now. There's like 2 exceptions to that I've ever seen; they're RIDICULOUSLY rare.

Why is this mother so awful? It seems like she wants Kagami to suffer as much as possible for defying her authority, and that she only picked up the MC because she could force her into being a replacement daughter that is 100% dependent on her.

Ah, this was a nice, self-contained chapter (problem created, elaborated on, then resolved).

This series is completed. It was axed after 2 volumes (10 chapters), but the author did get a chance ahead of time to wrap it up a bit. The first volume has been available in English since early this year officially, and the second volume is finally getting released this month (Nov 24th, 2020...

I don't like Matsuri as a character much, and this chapter kind of reinforced that. She is the type of person who it would be horrible to be in a relationship with: self-interested, never expresses how she feels about anything, and smugly self-assured. That is a super dangerous trifecta of...

@KumaJa: Me too. I have my hopes set very high because the director is the same guy who directed Steins;Gate, which was fantastic. This story does seem well suited to anime format too. It is a series of 'mini-arcs', which is a great way to keep viewers engaged without fixating on any one plot...

It's an interesting love triangle manga. All of the characters are heavily flawed in believable ways.
