Bokurano

>Series shows grown man having sex with an elementary schooler

How did they get away with this?

This is a pretty great series so far; do things stay this good?

No, it all goes to shit rather quickly.

Read the manga instead, it's much better.

literally how?

Manga goes edge mode "destroy entire universes"
Anime goes full shounen "With the power of friendship let's decide our fate!"
I prefer the manga though, those last chapters made me cry like a little teenager girl. Such best boys and girls.

The show turns to shit after the halfway point

The manga is better. She gets gang banged.

She's a middle schooler, tho.

Also the anime became pretty shit rather quick because the director didn't like the original manga and decided to amke up his own story 1/3 into the show

Director hated it, put in a bunch of Yakuza crap that didn't help the plot, made up his own antagonists, plus it was years before the series was finishing.

Manga was absolutely incredible though. Hox scanlating Bokurano and Vinland Saga was Sup Forums's true golden age.

Apparently Kitoh just started another manga? With swords and WWII fighter planes? Looking that up.

>With swords and WWII fighter planes

Oh man, sounds great. He loves his planes. I thought he was busy with that manga about the trap with the psychic powers and that one where the guy is forced to ride a bike

It just looked like a bike manga from the synopsis. How was it?

some areas in Japan have the age of consent as low as 13

>She's a middle schooler, tho.
No, she was taking middle school entrance exams.

>He loves his planes.
I wish he was popular enough for an artbook just for his alternate-universe JASDF fighters.

>I thought he was busy with that manga about the trap with the psychic powers and that one where the guy is forced to ride a bike
He finished it, but
>1560d ago

But Grumpy jii-chan gave it a 5/5, was he lying to me?

Anime was ruined by a hack director. Thankfully he directing career was ruined after this. It's a shame the amazing OST and voicework all went to waste though.

It was 5/5 for the OP, the rest you can take it or leave it.

The people translating it stopped because it was fucking wordy. Had an interesting premise (guy who hates bikers is forced to ride a bike because he loses his license) but it quickly became just Kitoh jerking off to bikes and shit. It's been years since I've read it so maybe it's finished

Yeah, those near future jet fighters were cool as fuck

Whoever he is, he's a bullshitter

>caring about an eceleb just because he has an obnoxious circlejerk on Sup Forums

It gets worse after the midway because they just seem to completely fucking forget about the kids that die and it starts to feel like a monster of the week show where some kid we weren't allowed to give a fuck about kicks the bucket

>not knowing about Grumpy Jii-san
Sup Forums is truly dead

its full of DESPAIR

nothing better than children die one by one

>caring about some eceleb fucko with bad taste.

Yup, the kind of shows I just love to watch alright.

I'm interested in this
can someone give some context, an if it was consensual

It just went all kinds of silly, I still remember how they spent an entire episode about the kids helping the fat kid's mom getting a job.

Like what the actual fuck.

Student wants to fuck teacher. Teacher wants to fuck student. He fucks her but she regrets it. Or in the manga she gets gang raped by his friends while he films it.

teacher was a pervert who filmed his students in the locker rooms secretly and posted it online

girl falls in love with him because he inspired her

he fucks her after a bit

principal tells the entire school what's going on

she finds out he filmed their sex

confronts him about it and leaves

then finds out the entire time she'd been being NTR'd, teacher was fucking her adult sister too

Manga version has her fucking the teacher, then teacher makes quick bux by selling her to politician friends.
She proceeds then to ride a giant robot and kill the everloving shit out of his rapists until she is about to murder the teacher, then stops because she finds out her dumb sister also fell for his ploy and is trying to protect him. Then she proceeds to kill the robot she was supposed to kill all this time and dies, and teacher survives and keeps selling other kids to gangrapes.

Yeah it completely lost its tone. Its like they forgot that they were going to die or something. This entire series should have been one long tearjerker where you see the kids' families and friends and siblings mourn their eventual deaths, and where they try to do the best with what's left of the 2 weeks or so the cast has to live, but that feeling isn't there. Plus eliminating the families of the kids who died from the plot after their deaths was such a stupid idea.

More could have been done with the other robots they were fighting too. I liked that one episode where the robot did not want to destroy the buildings and we were left wondering why. Plus the entire subplot of the "gods" or whoever was culling off these universes felt unfinished.

That reveal was one of the weaker parts of the story, along with that edgelord going "oh I don't care about these faggots because of muh dad oh I killed muh dad"

Contrived bullshit in a fantastic manga.

W-would this be a good place to dump the first chapter of Futago no Teitoku? It's Kitoh's newest, and it looks like he's back to making children suffer. Maybe we could summon Hox.

Also, in the manga he's a member of a pedo ring and he just gives her away to his pedo buddies after fucking her a couple of times

The anime had its flaws but god damn was that episode where they first fight on the other earth fucking incredible

>Those desperate kamikaze attacks on Zearth
>A mother telling her kids it's going to be alright
>All those stars going out

Fucking hell.

Go on.

...

By that time in the manga I knew the rest of it would be garbage.

>people actually cried over this

There is literally no love more pure than that between a middle school girl and an adult male.

...

Not really.
I think it's pointless to talk about him since he's effectively long dead and we've already had threads about him. Threads about youtubers invite Sup Forumsshitters so it's natural to abandon the subject.

When the glasses kid has to individually zap everyone on the last Earth
That was insane.

That was still taken from the manga, tho

The first couple kids are complete human garbage, don't blame you. The later ones are actually fascinating, especially when they reveal they're killing other pilots.

>All those stars going out
Yes that was an amazing episode. There should have been more moments like that.

...

Wasn't she also pregnant?

Yes, 2 lights went out, the robot took 2 sacrifices at once.

...

Oh yeah, and you can tell that shit is super fucking serious when Dung Beetle isn't being an edgy little cunt.

I remember it being worse in the manga for some reason. I think it's high time for me to reread it

Yeah

...

He wasn't that much of an edgeleord in the manga, that was just the anime trying to have a clear antagonist

It was better in the anime from Maki's reaction, I think. It might have been someone different in the manga, but it definitely didn't have the kind of buildup, and the soundtrack helped a lot too. She's the only one I remember the name of.

The anime was shit, read the manga. Same thing happened with Narutaru. Most of Kitoh's works aren't really suitable for anime.

...

>spoiler
Was that in the manga? I really need to finish that. Or rewatch the last episode.

Edgelord was the wrong word, I should have typed "dick"

manga was retarded
>lol let's shoot at dung beetle and the contracts will stop!
garbage.

Manga only, Jun doesn't even fight in the anime IIRC because of some bullshit.

...

Couldn't you cheat the game by doing what the mech did last mission by targeting everyone?
>do that
>enemy has no more reason to fight because everyone is dead

Narutaru was badass but it was left unfinished in the adaptation. Though it would rewrite the meaning of "suffering" that Madoka wrote if it were ever finished.
I almost cried when she got brought back to life just to have her period. It was like the world's way of telling her Fuck You.

He fights in the last episode as the last pilot, but the battle isn't satisfying. He isn't the last pilot in the manga?

That was the manga ending

I don't remember that happening in the manga, aren't you confusing it with the anime where he gets shot to death by his sister?

...

Is this a BD pic or something? I don't remember have seen this in the TV version.

>How did they get away with this?
get away from whom?
are not most of them still dead by the end of the anime, do they get resurrected?

...

Oh sorry anime
yeah that was utter trash

...

Wasn't that her brother in the manga?

Technically no: Dung Beetle is but Jun has to fight an "away game" and kill everyone on the other planet because the enemy pilot escaped the cockpit and if no one wins in 24 hours both universes get wiped out

>bunch of Yakuza
I liked the plot about Yakuza marring the school girl.

...

its consensual but she love him and he turns out to be a cheater who did not really give a fuck

What exactly am I seeing here?

Also, is the anime worth warching or is better just go with the manga instead?

...

No

...

you are thinking of Narutaru

Watch the anime opening and the first 3 eps until the loli sex ep then drop it and read the manga

Manga while listening to the fucking GOAT opening.

...

>are not most of them still dead by the end of the anime, do they get resurrected?
Yes, however loli lives in the anime, and she tells the story of how her nii-san and his friends saved the universe to other kids or something along those lines, I can't really remember the ending that well.
2007 was almost 10 years ago, fuck.

...

...

...

I recall in ending with everyone feeling like shit.some epilogue talk does not change the amount of suffering in the show
which male kid was obsessed with losing his virginity before death and did he get to do it?

...

Wasn't it the kid that tried to rape the girl in the OP real quick, then got crushed by debris? Might have been different in the manga.

...

Yeah, she actually kills him in Zearth's cockpit in the manga.

You're absolutely right. Kitoh's samefaces and reading the two back to back has me confuse between the two sometimes

...

So a shit edgy muh sexual mature shit... why this is considerer good?

I thought it was something more brutal.

>americans actually shed tears for this shitty manga

I have read the manga, I thought it was pretty good. I never botter with the anime adaptation, but now I'm curious, is it really as bad as some anons are saying in this thread?

everyone goes through the "its good because its dark" phase

some take a little longer than others

Cool setting. I hope he actually keeps working on it though, unlike what happened with Owari to Hajimari no Miles. I'm still mad that he stopped working on that.

...

The parts where it follows the manga more or less are decent. Of course censorship is expected and tolerable, but it goes off the rails and becomes terrible fanfiction after the halfway point
