Haven't seen Hyoka yet, but you should definitely check out Sankarea. The first anime episode is for the most part an adaption of the first manga chapter, so it doesn't even reach the real "hook" of the series yet, but it was still very enjoyable and good at pulling someone in, in my view. |

Yes, I'm calling for a moratorium on discussion on this whole "professionalism" topic. It's now taken up nearly a third of the thread and, frankly, I'm sick of it; the last few pages have just been rehashing statements and complaints that were made earlier. If you're still having a massive problem with our supposed lack of professionalism in reviews then take it to the ANN Feedback thread. |

So am I the only one who noticed that she goddamn left at the end? And the entire point of the episode was that she was just passing through the guy's life? I don't think the dude, whoever the hell he was, is a main much less THE main, character. |

Hmm, second ep. of Zetman was still fairly confusing and felt pretty rushed. It's probably not a good idea to turn an ongoing 17 volume long (to date) manga into a 12(?) ep. anime... would be interesting to hear from people who are reading the manga how close the anime is to the source material and how many chapters they are squeezing into one episode.

I don't even think Hyoka has aired as yet in japan. It is just something I am looking forward to for my romance/drama fill for spring since ano natsu finished airing. Last edited by Cecilthedarkknight_234 on Tue Apr 10, 2012 1:31 pm; edited 1 time in total |

You mean Tsumiki? She's absolutely adorable and makes one want to go "awwww...so cute!" whenever she's flustered or nekomimi mode pops up or trying to grab on Io's coat or...damnit, anything she does. Io is awesome in his own right though in the show. Oh yea...I watched Nyarko-san yesterday and it was awesome. Batshit insane, off the wall, show is moving at the speed of light awesome. I do have to say this season is the battle of the ahoge between Medaka, Nyarko and Tsumiki. Too bad there's no *monogatari airing this season or Araragi would be in the running. |

You make a good point but I figure he'll be back, otherwise they wasted script on his unresolved moping about his ex or whoever that was in his flashback. Maybe he isn't a main character, maybe she isn't technically a girlfriend character but she still mainly fits the stereotype, she's a character that will largely defined by her relationship with this guy . From the series encyclopedia page I guess the point of the series is that each of the different generals get their focus and I excpect the formula to be repaeated with them and other guys as well- maybe not with every one of them, but these girls are likely going to be acting all cutesy for someone. |

Your feeling of it being rushed is completely justified - the first episode covered the entirety of volume 1, and the second episode covered the majority of volume 2. And Zetman volumes are closer to 250 pages than the standard 200 pages. While it's true that the manga's pacing is quite slow, I think that's part of what's good about it...It takes its time to tell a good plot. Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed with the anime choosing to take the route it has. Last edited by Darkmagick on Tue Apr 10, 2012 2:17 pm; edited 1 time in total |

By the way, your pictures aren't all correct, you might want to verify their placement. |

I just assumed they'd join up again somehow in the next episode. Because that's how this would play out if he was the male lead. But if he actually is just a one episode character, then maybe she really did leave him for good. I'm not quite convinced we've seen the last of him, but we'll find out in a few days. |
