Can we have a thread that lasts more than 30 posts? Why is this series so overlooked in the West? I know the reboot hasn't had the best start but even before that the manga was literal who tier despite being popular in Japan.
And here I thought Sup Forums would be all over Dakki.

>more than 30 posts Lurk more, airing day threads are more than 30 posts usually.
Hunter Rivera
Awesome, I love Moomin.
Brayden Rogers
I tried watching it and thought I was watching a chinese attempt at shounen. It barely made any sense--well, okay, it made sense, I know enough about chinese kung-fu movies to recognize whats goin' on, but every scene was disjointed as all fuck like it was just a speedwatcher skipping through entire arcs on fast forward. All in all moomin/10, at least the MC doesn't wear a fucking orange jumpsuit or scream all his lines.
Adam Brown
This is what happens when you try to adapt an entire volume in one episode. It never works.
David Johnson
Ep 3 thread died before it even hit 40.
Andrew Morales
Well shit, I took another look and apparently its shorter than I remembered.
Adam Wilson
It isn’t popular because there aren’t many waifus, and the few girls in the series look like literal shit
Carter Gonzalez
The pacing of the anime is too fast, reminds me of Ushio to Tora. Just read the manga.
Robert Nelson
It's based on a classic Chinese novel.
MC is unironically one of the best shounen protagonists. He's meant to be clever and uses tricks and strategy to beat people, but episode 1 did a shitty job at showing it. He really does go straight for the big bad right off the bat because he thinks he can outsmart her and is proven wrong, they basically cut out all the meat from their first meeting (he originally had her sister hostage).
Parker Reyes
Wait, excuse me for living under a rock but.
What the fuck, there's a new Houshin Engi?
How is this compared to the old one?
Nathan Rogers
No waifus
Carson Perez
>and the few girls in the series look like literal shit
You take that back faggot.
Brandon Allen

Asher Torres
More faithful to the manga but they only got 23 episodes so the pacing is fucked. On the bright side ep 3 was actually much better than the first two episodes so it may not be a total disaster.
Andrew Evans
Are the visuals and music fine, though? If those are good, I can totally go for another ride
Carson Lewis
I thought Ushio to Tora was considered a decent adaptation. Was it rushed too?
Andrew Moore
The actual animation is not that impressive but everything else about the visuals are actually really nice that I don't mind it too much. The backgrounds are especially great. The music's fine, sometimes really good. Iuchi Maiko is the composer if you're familiar with them.
Christian Anderson
The new anime is horrible. Wait two decades for another remake.
Eli Wood
Also if you're a seiyuufag it has a good cast. Different from the old anime but still good, lots of popular seiyuu.
Lucas Miller
The anime has barely given us enough Dakki. It's all about shoving in Bunchuu and Hiko whenever possible.
Lucas Reyes
semen demon
Jeremiah Wilson
gif/webbum? stitch?
Camden Scott
Especially in the case of Houshin Engi. Compared to most shounen manga, Houshin Engi has a shit ton of things going on in each of its early volumes. It's only in the latter volumes that you have easily skipable stuff.
Ayden Brooks
Aw shit, thanks, user. I'm actually kinda happy I can go back to this!
Juan Torres
Dakki is amazing. However, just like Taikoubou, the anime isn't showing you just what makes her so amazing. Maybe we'll get the hamburger next episode, but given what has already happened it will only serve to show her cruelty, not how smart she is about said cruelty.
Leo Williams
Hope you enjoy it user. If you haven't read the manga I recommend it, too. It's really great.
Hamburger should definitely be next episode considering the preview shows Dakki coming at Hakuyuukou with a knife, the real question is where is Ki Shou? Are they just going to say Dakki's had him captured this whole time?
Elijah Cook
Probably. Bunchu had to go away on episode 2 because Dakki had already killed one of the four kings, suggesting the party already happened. Either they say she already has him captured or they show it as a very brief flashback.
Jace Gomez
Do you think there will be a second cour OP? The first OP apparently doesn't come out until May.
Ian Parker
It'd be weird if there wasn't one, probably one with visuals that push Fugen even more.
Liam Ross
what a terrible adaptation.
Ian Lewis
Haven't seen anyone mention it but doesn't this basically confirm it's going past the Sennin War? Going by the trend of flashforwards this should be when Tenka is going to fight Chuuou.
Gavin Hughes
Don't know. I hope not. I'm hoping the anime can get to an okay pacing once it's done with the set-up. If it's going past the Sennin war, it's going to be shitty all the way.
Dylan Martin
who actually watches this trash
Leo Collins
Anyone who waifus Dakki-chan, mostly.
Andrew Cruz
I don't see how you get that from that image alone?
Chase Butler
I can't stop, user. I need to see how bad they mess up my favorite manga.
Hudson Ward
I'm a big fan of the original, and i always watch adaptations of things i've read.
Jeremiah Hill
needs more dakki
Jayden Mitchell
Anyone have a DLL for the manga? I own the first 7 volumes from VIZ but can't really afford the rest.
Isaac Jones
Because it matches the scene from the manga of him going to Chouka in the middle of the night. There is no other point in the manga he goes there. And if you look closely his waist area is colored white (at that point his waist is bandaged).
Nathaniel Walker
I dropped it because episode one kept moving at a lightning pace.
Luis Watson
I see you asking for 3rd time. In 6 days i'll get to my PC and i gonna make you one unless some user does this first
Jace Fisher
I don't remember much from the original anime but I enjoy it. I hate the opening though.
Ryder Watson
Then why'd you post Youzen?
Henry Lewis
I think a stitch was in the threads, check the archive.
Joshua Lopez

Carson Ross
The old anime was mediocre and this reboot is complete shit, of course no one would bother talking about it.
Have some self respect, read the manga.
Ayden Smith

Hunter Thompson
But Nataku is my waifu.
Robert Peterson
That's why I said "mostly".
Levi Diaz
>doesn't make sense >character design looks like ass >everyone has yaoi hands >no action >retarded mascot character That's just what I got from the ten minutes I watched before I dropped it, it was one of the worst first episodes ever.
Leo Ramirez
You guys told me to drop it and read the manga.
Anthony Price
The pacing is fucked up. And not that it has to do with most of the content, but the opening of the 90s adaptation was way better.
Ethan James
Excuse you, he is clearly a snork.
Hudson Moore
>doesn't make sense The pacing might have been bad but they literally spell out the plot for you. It's not the anime's fault you can't pay attention.
And Suupuu isn't a mascot character.
Connor Howard
I dont understand how people can seriously say this. Unless you just seriously hate any song that has even a bit of electronic roots in it and that makes an opening irredeemable, the visuals are on point. Especially since that's the one single good point to this show and they capitalize on it, I'm a fan of it
Logan Nguyen
wait what?! There is a new anime?!
Caleb Torres
The original manga had gorgeous artstyle but it trully was a sausage fest.
Parker Baker
Next episode thread we should have a Youtube dubber contest to find a song that works better.
The first 2 episodes were a complete disaster. I couldn't carry on after that.
Juan Ward
I respectfully disagree. Also shit taste.
Jason Lee
Is that a Grunty?
Asher Taylor
Su-su
Mason Parker
Is he a trap?
Joseph Kelly
There's no value in the anime, the manga is already a classic
Elijah Edwards
Man, I love the original song. It also surprisingly works with those visual, most of them at least.
Jeremiah Roberts
No, he's a shapeshifter that likes turning into Dakki a bit too much.
Colton Roberts
Fans of the original? I am one of them. Great fun!
Kayden Flores
Dakki is definitely one of the best Jump heroine.
Every time I re-read the manga and just more questions come to mind because I can't never get a hold of her thinking at all. Taikoubo must feel the same.
