I see a lot of bad novels, not liking this.

 

[Totsuka No Tsurugi]

Oregairu is 1st huh ? well deserved.

I'm very satisfied with the top two slots. I'm surprised to not see No game No Life and DxD up there.

I want to read it, but translations are all over the place :/

If DxD is not there it's not a good list, although it's good to see mahouka do this good, that might make madhouse think about doing a second season if they do have a lot of material to work with.

DxD vol 20 will be on sell next month.

Just stick with the anime, by the time the anime ends it will cover all the available material from the light novel,
but if you still want to read the light lovel then this is the place

If vol 16 was released a bit earlier then Mahouka would have probably been number, but I'm completely fine with SNAFU taking the top spot, its well earned :bdpf:

Alright I'll do that, I'll try out the novels once the anime is complete. It's one of my favorites this season anyway :bdpf:

 

[Kagerou]

> Oregairu in first.

Perfect.

I've been reading the novel for quite a while now, I love Wataru's style of writing.

We will have to see in the next update muahaha.

SNAFU is kind of boring, season 1 was awesome but season 2 is full of bs...triangle prob and characters that are just meh.... SNAFU 10.5 just came out on FB translated, i'll give it a try and see what's up with this fiction.

Also good to see log horizon kicking ass here.

That SNAFU greatness and Mahouka is right up there as well :bdpf:

I have to disagree there, SNAFU has been amazing IMO, this season has been more of 8mans character development and its been done beautifully.

I think I might start the Mahouka novels soon, I've been putting it on hold for a while.

His character is going back and forth like sasuke. I don't like that.

You really have :lol

His character is going back and forward like sasuke. I don't like that.

How is it going backwards?

 

[Kagerou]

You really have :lol

Where does the anime end off from the light novels?

 

[iNotorious]

You really have :lol



How is it going backwards?

Loner > Friendly = Bestie around him doesn't like him to get hurt > the bad guy of the movie > goes back to sorta loner > no bueno > friendly > repeat process.

 

[Mahesvara]

Where does the anime end off from the light novels?

Anime covered volumes 1,2,3,4,6, and 7. You can start off with vol 5 if you want, its a volume mainly composed of short stories that take place in between the events of 4 and 6 , but they are pretty entertaining especially the first and last ones. Or you can start with volume 8, which takes place right after the anime and it tells the story of how Miyuki grew her affection for Tatsuya through a series of flashbacks, its also the volume where "Mahesvara" shown his might for the first time.

Loner > Friendly = Bestie around him doesn't like him to get hurt > the bad guy of the movie > goes back to sorta loner > no bueno > friendly > repeat process.

He never reverted to his old self, he just went into a state where he was lost and didn't know what to do. He was struggling to figure out what he really wants, he still is, but 8man at least figured out that he no longer wants to do things alone and doesn't want to hurt the people he cares about, which is what we figured out in last weeks episode.

From what it looks like from 10.5 chapter 3, he doesn't think much like that, therefore, we're repeating process left and right. If vol 11 doesn't convince me then it's gonna be dropped real quick from my list.

Well that's how its portrayed in the anime, I haven't read the novels, because the translations are all over the place.

The anime isn't helping on my case. Well the anime is almost catching up with the LN, will they go for an anime only ending/cliffhanger!?!?!?! that is the question.
