why is this so timeless good? after all those years the episodes are still so pretty and funny.
>>154424341
>That day all of /a/ laughed
Good times.
>>154424341
the translations for the manga never finish?
>>154424557
It's fully translated now, thanks to some anons from here.
The fucking jokes the show would be making if it were currently running. Brexit, Trump, Korean puppet president, I can only imagine the despair.
>>154426408
The author has referenced Trump and Brexit in his latest manga, Kakushigoto.
Just background gags though, I guess it's hard to go full political in warm story about a dad and daughter.
Anyone knows which ep was the one where chiri has those glasses with subtittles?
Guys what about this series?
Why is no one talking about this?
>>154429747
Kicchiri's doing it, and it's pretty good
>>154429747
There's threads every time a new chapter gets translated.
It's kind of hard to get into, even for Kumeta.
His other manga Kakushigoto seems to be doing fairly well, hopefully it gets picked up by Shaft soon, they already did a PV

That PV's gorgeous, I watch it every once in a while. Gives me mad nostalgia for SZS. Maybe now that SHAFT's done (almost?) with Monogatari they'll move on to this.
>>154430137
>>154430242
Nice, looking forward to his scans and works
>>154430137
>>154429747

>not praising pre-success Kumeta
>>154424341
Because the author is pretty fucking smart and actually capable of both witty societal commentary and writing a good story, and blending them in a way that you can't tell the difference. The anime OST is just a bonus.
>>154429747
Discussion is at a pretty healthy level for a series this old, it's just that it's died down from an extreme high after everyone laughed.
>>154431029
It's for the best, really. /a/'s highest honor is to not be talked about endlessly, as it ensures that whenever they do come up they're generally of a higher quality.
Long live Kumeta!
>>154431396
>Joshiraku, SZS, KnK, ???
What's the last one? Is it just a brown haired Kafuka?
>>154431476
It's the MC from Uchouten Kazoku.
It's not really a Kumeta series, but he did do the character design for it.
>>154431550
Oh, so that was the reference in Kakushigoto?
>>154430975
>not praising pre-historic Kumeta
>>154431550
That makes a lot of sense now that I think about it
>>154424341
Even Shaft-haters like SZS.
>>154424341
It's just harem shit.
>>154424341
Maria Holic is better
>>154424557
It's fully translated now but they're hard to come by and spread apart.
>>154435412
Because back then Shaft put their limited resources to good use instead of trying and failing in the big leagues. SZS was a passion project; Nisekoi was sellout hackwork.
>>154424341
I liked the manga, but not so much the anime. The anime suffered from the problem I had with the Azumanga anime (pacing was just not good) plus most of the jokes only really worked with enough time to look over the references - not easy to do with an anime.
Apparently the author did something named Kakushigoto next.
>>154424341
>>154442487
It still hurts.;_;
A shame that the author never really had another hit after SZS
>>154445932
It could be argued that he is even more successful now.
Since SZS aired he has had:
>Joshiraku animated
>KNK animated
>Two manga running simultaneously (another series completed)
>Character designer for Uchoten Kazoku which is getting a second season
>Does art for a LN series
>>154446109
Forgot about his artbook that was released & the exhibit they had in a couple of places last year.
jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
>>154438754
Nah.
>>154429747
Didn't that finish after a couple of chapters? I thought it was a one off thing.
>>154446150
It's pretty nice as well. I'd post some of the art if I had my copy with me.
>>154445932
Joshiraku was a success and Kakushigoto ain't doing badly if I remember correctly. Kumeta does alright.
>>154438754
>>154447585
You do that when you get home
>>154447873
Best sensei
>>154448009
>You do that when you get home
That'll take a few weeks I'm afraid so you'll have to hold tight for now.
>>154448942
At least I'll having something to look forward to now
>>154424341Bure>Rumba>Ringo
>>154449854
Nice taste.
I don't understand all the hype around Ringo.
>>154449924
It's the best one to sing along to.

You take that back. Gouin is fantastic.

I didn't say it was bad, just outclassed.
