OBD Convo #41: Everyone sees the same sky

[Derpmaster9000]

I...see.

Well obviously all my experience with the Teen Titans is with the cartoon so it's all Robin x Starfire all the way as far as I'm concerned.

To be fair, for the longest time, Starfire and Robin/Nightwing was the main pairing in the comics too. It just didn't end up working out, in the mainline continuity, with Nightwing reaching a point he no longer loved Starfire.

Then again, seeing as everything is technically canon in DC-land these days, that means the alternate realities where they stayed together and had a daughter are just as valid, so there you go.

They turned Starfire into someone who sleeps around.

to a point she can't even remember Dick. IIRC.

That was New 52. I was referring to Post-Crisis, before that continuity happened.

The fuck?

The fuck?

Yeah... New 52 Starfire wasn't all that well-received, let's just say that.

Not just that, she’s also very detached and monotone like a robot that just wants to have sex

 

[Adamant soul]

Good

I mean I know from what others have said that (even aside from that) her comic versions not quite the innocent sweetheart she's presented as in the cartoon but DAMN, New 52 didn't need to do her like that.

OG Starfire's people were more open with themselves than humans tend to be, a fact that almost led to a scene happening where Starfire was going to walk out in-front of the boys at a pool spot completely naked, rather than wearing a swimsuit, which Wonder Girl had to stop her from doing, before she gave the boys heart-attacks .

Comic Starfire was also already previously betrothed to two other men before she even met Nightwing, but did ultimately fall for him(and pretty quick, too. Comics moved through it quicker than I thought they did). I can't recall if she had sex with either before Dick, but I don't think she did. He might've been her first in the comics, back during the 80s run, but I haven't read them in a while, so I might be wrong.

Isn’t Rosario vampire like a meme tier manga?

The anime is the one that's meme-tier, for going full fanservice, and basically ignoring near the entire plot of the manga.(Only season 1 of the anime was somewhat faithful. Season 2 went so far off-road, from what I gather, that it's hilarious )

 

[Adamant soul]

Isn’t Rosario vampire like a meme tier manga?

The anime is yeah, I wouldn't say the manga is.

The manga does actually have a lot of good characters and development for those characters and a pretty good story to boot. Tsukune is still one of my favorite manga protagonists to this day.

The issue with the anime was that they basically stripped away everything that made the series interesting in place of gratuitous panty shots and fanservice, which essentially killed any notion of ever getting an accurate adaptation and doomed later series Ghost Reaper Girl to obscurity.

 

[Limu&Doug]

 

[Cubey]

Dragon Ball
YYH
Berserk
FMA
One Piece

Very solid list. A

The

Berserk would top everything for me


And by Berserk I really mean My Hero Academia. Ashyraki is what Griffith wishes he could be.


For real though

Berserk
Yu Yu Hakusho
Dragon Ball
Bastard

Also I like how straight up unhinged the Yu Gi Oh manga was. Shit never gets old .

Berserk, dragon ball and bastard!!? A+

Is ghost reaper girl a spin-off? Of Rosario

 

[Cubey]

Don't really give a shit if you judge:

Inuyasha
Bleach
Ramna 1/2
FGO Shimousa Manga
Iron Wok Jan(goddamn is the food in that manga delicious looking)
Maken-Ki(Like most ecchi anime series, the manga is surprisingly more gritty and based on action)
Sekeirei(Hilariously would body most wanked Manga series)
Sailor Moon(Manga is dark as fuck)
World's Strongest Disciple
Tri-Gun

>bleach

Kill yourself

R+V anime got the Ranma anime Treatment.

R+V manga is literally different from R+V anime.

Nah it's just another Shonen series written by the same author, it doesn't have any plot connection to Rosario. You can still tell it's the same author because of the art style and certain character designs being similar.

 

[Cubey]

in no particular order
Toriko
Helck
Undead Unluck
Kongou Banchou
Fire Force
Little Girl x Scoop x Evil Eye
Skeleton Knight in Another World
Mashle
Ragna Crimson
Mieruko-Chan

Strong list. Some of these I’ve never heard of. I liked what I read of ragna crimson and meiruko-Chan is apparently a cult classic. Little girl idk about

Ima say B+
