old and busted

>nisemonogatari

the new hotness

I'm guessing it has something to do with SZS

What?

Fucking love me some SZS.

If you don't like *ZS, then fuck you.

yeah but watching raw szs for the plot is like playing a video game for the spoon

>>62063086
Yep, it's SZS all right.
Downloadin' and waitin' for .ass

...What?

>memorial

guess that's it then. too busy making pure fanservice

So how long is it? Typical 25~ min or something longer? Any Chie?

>>62063258
26 minutes, animated in the same style as season 3

No, doesn't look like it

>Raw
Oh boy, I sure can't wait for the three months before the subs are released.

>>62063247
And Madoka movies and Joshiraku, not that I mind either of those.

The best SZS girl is wishing you a nice day.

What is this, exactly?

>>62063369
Extra episode that came with the box set for season 3 made for the end of the series

Oh boy it's gonna be a long wait for the subs again!

>>62063329
>Any Chie?
>No, doesn't look like it

>>62063365
You mean sluttiest?

>>62063365
That's not Matoi.

... God damn, I miss my SZS folder.

I wish I could be properly excited about this, but based on prior experience I know it will be shit.

I just wish someone subbed the final Kaizou OVA now that suimasen is on indefinite hiatus. It was shit alright but I hate it when anything is left hanging like that for a single episode or volume.

Let's get this started.

RINGO>RUMBA>BURE

>>62063402

>>62063400
I liked Chie/Rin the most.

>>62063448
Ringo > Bure > Rumba

>>62063448
Bure > Ringo > Rumba

Bijin > Restaurant > Marionette

>>62063402
I thought there were sluttier.
Komori was a hug magnet.

>>62063459
Kiri is a miracle of the universe.

At least they finished it properly

...with my shitty internet connection I might have to wait for lower quality. Now that's despair.

Man, I wish I was on my other computer. The SZS folder here is pretty abysmal; just over 100 images. I have at least a few thousand saved on the other one.

>>62063542
I'd agree with you had not recent chapters just hinted at some weird-ass plot about Abiru.

Now to wait for a month and a half for the subs.

>>62063611
I doubt anyone will even sub it

not enough e-peen value

from what I recall the 3rd season was finished off by some random anon

>>62063402
That's not nice Anonymous, even as a joke.

>>62063657
thats because it was complete shit

>>62063694
Why did I read that in her seductive voice.

>>62063657
gg did all of season 3. And they actually did a pretty damn good job as well. Say what you want about them, but they CAN sub properly, they just usually...don't.

Season 2 had one sub group drop it after about 4 eps, then a random anon took over for 4-5 eps and the rest were done by a completely different group.

>>62063657
Well I do know someone who can translate it but the question is if he's willing to do it.

Oh fuck yes

>>62063735
I think KagiyamaHina did some of them.

What a normal episode

>>62063710
You have good imagination and memory recall.

Is this just one episode? Movie? How long is it?
I could probably pull enough strings to get this subbed.

>>62063657
I'm gonna give it till March 15 to see if any group will sub this, if no one does it then I'll do it myself.

>>62063709
Mystery Train was awesome.
I really don't get the hate for S3. It wasn't as great as S2, keeping far more to the manga, but there's nothing wrong with a straight adaptation of a fun series.

>>62063801
We'll need a toothbrush here.

>>62063829
See;
>>62063329

>>62063849
>Mystery Train
Best fucking episode.

>>62063876
I think we can all agree with that

YES

>>62063849
>>62063876
>>62063903
No arguments here. Mystery Train was the best episode.

>>62063869
That should be entirely feasible.

It's there?
IT'S THERE?
FUCK YES

>>62063923
You have my attention.

>>62063954
... Damn.
I know I shouldn't be drawn back into SZS via fanservice but damn.
Abiru isn't even my favourite girl but something about her... fap.

I need to make some SDT templates...

You gonna get tormented

>>62063931
Mystery train was hilarious. But my favorite segment was the tooth without parents knowing.

How have none of us asked the most important question:
Which OP did they use? I assume Ringo but perchance a remix?

>>62063201
>There is no spoon

>>62064111
It's regular ringo

They already had an extended version in the 2nd OVA so I assume they didn't want to repeat that

I love this series, pity how fucked up an inferiority complex the author has.
He's bipolar, right?

>>62064197

Kumeta just seems like someone who takes joy in nothing but his work, his own worlds

>>62064197
If recent news is true he's apparently not planning on working with Shounen Jump for his next series and has been saying SS has been going on for too long now.

>>62064260

>>62064123
Oh my HNNNNGGGG

>>62064199
who was this guy meant to be? the editor of szs?

About Abiru...

Abiru's other eye is usually covered by bandages but now when uncovered she sees Kafuka everywhere. She sees the Doctor later and asks who was the original donator, but he didn't know and wouldn't tell her even if he did.

At the end of the chapter, an unfamiliar shadow approaches the school.

It's slightly implied that either Kafuka or Sensei is actually dead and she got the eyes from them.

>>62064335
Kumeta's assistant.

Does anyone remember how much the anime adapts?

>>62064377
It's not a straight adaption chapter for chapter, they adapted random chapters

>>62064377
2-3 manga chapters per episode. There's been ~38 episodes, plus 5 OVAs and now this.

>>62064346
So have Kafuka and Sensei been missing from previous chapters or what?

>>62064393
>>62064398
I see, thanks

>>62064346
What the fucking fuck

>>62064275
>SS has been going on for too long now.
THIS
I love SZS, but it's been going for way too long.

If you like SZS you can get the officially translated manga for really cheap- the first 12 volumes for around $100. That's almost half the series so far, and it's a good translation as well with plenty of notes. Sorry to sound like a viral marketer, just letting everyone know.

Now to post some words from the author:
My life has been full of mistakes, and I'm sure it will continue to be filled with mistakes. People often point my mistakes out to me. Even if I acknowledge my mistake and apologize, I'm told that it's a mistake to acknowledge my mistake so easily. That's me, I can only make mistaken expressions of love. During junior high, when I liked a girl, I checked out her address, made hesitant phone calls (it seems that society calls them "creepy phone calls where the caller doesn't say anything") and drew a realistic portrait of her. Actually, it wasn't just her face that I drew. Since I was the kind of kid who'd draw nipples in Jump manga when the characters didn't have any nipples, I did at least that. I was a mistaken expression of love. I'm sorry. In the end, I didn't talk to her even once during the three years of school.

>>62064463
In it's defence, you can jump out of it for several volumes and get back in without missing anything.
Well, until ow it seems.
Abiru, what is going on?

>>62064514
Joke's on you, I already have them.

>>62064534
When I was in elementary school, in addition to playing spy games, secretly following girls from our class was popular. You tail the girl home, making sure you aren't detected and always make sure to check out the surroundings. The next day, you'd announce your findings to the target, like "you've got a black dog, right?" or "your roof is red," etc. the girl would answer, "hey, how'd you know that?," which was so hilarious. one day, K-kun, N-kun, and I decided to follow Y-san, who was a popular girl in school. But Y-san had great instincts and found out what we were doing halfway through our game. To us guys, who were just clowning around, Y-san said, "enough already. What're you doing? and two days in a row, too?" K-kun and N-kun looked really puzzled. That's right. I'd tailed her by myself for two days. If it had happened today, I would have been arrested.

>>62064514
I really need to catch up with buyfagging this and Yotsuba. Shame Moyashimon couldn't get such a dedicated publisher.

>>62064514
I've actually been meaning to get my hands on those. I heard that they did a really great job on translating it.

>>62064567
I was a gentle child; the kind who'd eat animal crackers from their tails. I even ate taiyaki, hato sable, and mushrooms from their tails. One day, my dad returned from a business trip to Romori and brought me back some badly shaped animal cookies; I couldn't tell which side was the head and which was the tail. Since I didn't know were the start, I ate 'em from their bellies. That night, I cried. I cried because I felt I did something cruel. I was a kid that loved bending the tabs on this petit pudding cups. Now, I've grown into a mean adult who eats Mickey Mouse cookies by their ears.

>>62064534 I was the kind of kid who'd draw nipples in Jump manga when the characters didn't have any nipples

>>62064581
For eight hours, I couldn't remember names from various places, which made me irritated. The word "takumachine" kept getting in the way, so I couldn't remember a thing. I'm worth three gavas points and have less than 1mb of memory. It gets maxed out quickly.
My human capacity is the same way. I'm petty, so I lose my temper when the smallest thing happens, I've never held anything heavier than a pen. I don't know a world bigger than my manuscript. I fret over insignificant things.
But you know, because my capacity's small, I can be fulfilled with little things. Even getting a courteous smile that might mean nothing to you makes me spend the entire day in happiness.
The kanji for capacity looks like four people ready to kill each other. If that's the case, it's better to be arguing over something trivial.

>>62064534
>Actually, it wasn't just her face that I drew. Since I was the kind of kid who'd draw nipples in Jump manga when the characters didn't have any nipples, I did at least that. I was a mistaken expression of love. I'm sorry.
I fucking love Kumeta.

I'm still on Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
But I guess the best part of the series is over by now

>>62064581 the kind who'd eat animal crackers from their tails
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BITE OFF THEIR HEADS SO THEY DON'T FEEL ANY PAIN YOU FUCKING IDIOT

>>62064608
I envy hibernation. For the last several years, there hasn't been a day when I've slept deeply, or for a long stretch, even when I tried drinking milk before bed, I got sick in the middle of the night and ended up running to the toilet. When I sleep lightly, I'll hear the assistants' conversations from the next room, and they all sound like they're criticizing me. No, but of course, they ARE criticizing me. Like, "for an adult, he's shameful," or "he has no presence," or "I'm not learning anything being here." There are limits to making fun of somebody. The whole world is saying bad things about me. Salespeople at convenience stores, passengers on the bus, fans of Gintama - they're all speaking ill of me, and finally, I heard this. The plan to kill Kumeta. A perfect plan to dump my body in the car, roll the car into the lake and make it look like a suicide. I've got to kill before I get killed.

>>62064654
I hear the words "Good Old Days" a lot recently, but I have to say for me there really were never any good old days.
When I debuted, I was embarrassed of my work from one year before that.
Ten years ago, I was embarrassed of the work I made one week before that.
Currently, I'm embarrassed at the same time that I actually draw it.
I will probably always be embarrassed of every work I produce.
I regret the future.
I regret it in advance.

>>62064580
Some volumes are better than others. There are early teething problems but after the third or fourth they find their feet.

>>62064620
There are people that enjoy the social commentary aspect of it more than the focus on the girls. Obviously most of /a/ lost interest though as soon as it stopped having kiri-chie lesbian bath scenes.

>>62064671
After my series got animated, some people have said that I've been "acting really happy." In fact, I have. I know it's ludicrous, right? It might be ludicrous from the perspective of a manga artist whose first serialized work got animated and aired in the main networks. For me, it's like finally getting accepted into an anime university after 17 years of retaking the test.
And still, I'm happy. I'd be happy even if it was a local anime university and I was going to night classes. However, this has given rise to a more dangerous scenario.
My depression has become manic depression. My mood swings have gotten larger. They're flying all over the place! The length of the pendulum swinging between depression and mania has become larger, and I can't control myself. Back in the day, I would have contemplated suicide, but now I sometimes feel like flying!

>>62064601
If you're gonna do fanservice do it right or don't do it at all.
Ironic though since SZS has tits with no nipples.

>>62064696
People say that nothing can be done once you've served out Heaven's will. They say you can't do anything about destiny. In that case, suicide is the lifetime of the soul. I've served out the will of my soul. It's my natural life. The soul hast it's own natural life.
Put another way, people can't live without actively trying to. It takes effort to eat food and drink water, and that's how we live. Slacking off on these efforts leads us to die.
I can see my Gappeldonger (it's me from my Doppelganger's perspective). Which will be stronger, the Gappeldonger or the Doppleganger?
Which came from the future, the Gappeldonger or the Doppelganger? Is the Gappeldonger "acting happy?" What about the Doppelganger?
My Baggeldonger has appeared.
My Baggeldonger said to me, "Both of you are acting happy"
"So are you"

>>62064727
I was sitting staring at the blades of my fan when I remembered something. When I was a kid we had a fan at home called "Suzukaze"
What would Suzukaze's child be named? This is all I can think of these days
It's because I have this strong feeling I'll be asked to give a name.
If it's a girl.......Suzuka?.....Suzuko?....Sujika? Hmmm, I guess definitely not Sujika. She'd get bullied
But wait. Even if I'm asked to name the child, I have to think of a name that Suzukaze would have picked. Since Suzukaze is a girl with big dreams she might actually choose a cringe worthy name.

>>62064717

>>62064683
Oh, well I'm fine with that.

>>62064748
I have a habit of avoiding things
I'm used to being avoided
Sometimes when I see someone coming toward me, I step aside so that I can avoid them, but I end up bumping into them because they stepped aside too.
I think this is the kind of connection I share with readers who purchased this book.
I don't like people who walk in the middle of the street.
I'm always walking on the edge so that I can avoid being seen.
Sometimes I bump into other people who are walking on the edge.
It makes me so happy when I get to interact with other people like that.
Thank you so much.

>Memorial
Somehow this makes me feel real bad.

>>62064654
>fans of Gintama

One of the most rewatchable shows ever? I saw it a couple years ago, missed at least 50% of the jokes but it was still hilarious. Just recently rewatched it being more anime-savvy and all, and oh god I got so much more this time.

>>62064812
I've heard it all a million times
I've been told a million times that I suck. I've been told a million times that I'm boring. I've been told a million times that I'm vulgar. I've been told a million times that what I write isn't really manga. I've been told a million times that I'm old fashioned. I've been told a million times that I'm not creative. I've been told a million times that I make no sense. I've been told a million times that I should quit. I've been told a million times that I should die.
I've said "I apologize" a million times
I've said "I'm sorry" a million times
I've said "Excuse me" a million times
I've said every apology you can think of a million times
I've been told that I should die a million times. It made me wanna die a million times.
But I never died

Abiru has the most well sculpted body.

>>62064834
It's because he met a person that was buying his manga, after he finally said hello he discovered it was just to learn how to draw Kimonos for Gintama fanart.


It seems like people have all these negative expectations of me.
1 Don't expect me to be miserable
2 Don't expect me to fail
3 Don't expect me to be destroyed
4 Don't expect me to die
It scares me that I might end up meeting your expectations. Well, please let me have some expectations too. I deserve to have a bit of a bright future after I fail

In 200X, after being completely rejected by my readers and the publishing company, I'll open a studio made of cardboard inside a small park outside of Tokyo (illegally). There, I will draw manga for dogs. It will be a sexy dog manga titled Heart Dockin' Dog with forty-eight beautiful female dog characters in it. Although it won't be appreciated in the human world, dogs will really enjoy it...especially the larger dogs. The Chihuahuas and the Pomeranian won't be crazy about it, but overall it'll get a positive reception. Gradually, I'll become more popular among dogs. One day, a Shiba named Shibata, the chief editor of Dog Jump, will come visit me and say "I'd like you to write a series for Dog Jump" After receiving an unexpected offer, the manga artist who was once a failure will cry rears of joy. Imagine, someday I'll be a popular manga artist with series in magazines like Cat Jump and Comic Pun-Dog....ahhhh, what a bright future awaits me

Are these all real or is some anon just making these up?

>>62064912
Real.

>>62064912
Kumetas paper blog. You get a few "posts" in each volume. They're great.

Does anyone have the interview asking what he'd do if he ended up on a deserted island?

>>62064902
Right before the World Cup, the world surges into a frenzy of excitement. I like soccer too, so I'd like to get all excited, but for some reason when everyone around me is excited, I cool off

I've always been that way, whenever there were festivals, I'd always be right outside the circle of excitement, I'd want to be in the circle, but I couldn't stand it, so I'd stay outside. Even when I went on a camping trip, I'd be outside the circle, and I'd stare distantly at the campfire from afar. When I went to karaoke I'd stay in the bathroom. I can't get any pleasure out of funny manga either. When I read them, I'd be tormented by an inferiority complex.
It's supposed to be enjoyable, but it's not. I don't think I could ever enjoy anything, the second I think something is enjoyable, it ceases to be.

But of course if something is uninteresting, it's just uninteresting. Life is about suffering misfortunes, life itself is a pain

I'm curious about the message shaft put into this

Any moon readers around?

>>62064954
I was ostracized by my classmates back in elementary school.
They said if you write "Kumeta" in kanji from top to bottom, it looks like the kanji for "poop"
Nakano-kun said I was easy to make fun of.
He said he was just kidding around but I remember how hurt I was . If you ask me, he was a tried and true bully

Now that I'm an adult, readers ostracize me all the time by saying "I quit reading Kumeta's manga" Please listen to me, everyone. Ostracizing a manga artist is the same as bullying him. You can't just say its because I'm easy to make fun of. Haven't you ever heard of reader harassment?

>>62064860
Can't argue with that.
I still find it weird that I find such simple character designs so appealing. I guess my brains broke.

>>62064996
Looks like NHK viewer fees will soon become obligatory. Why don't we just make everything else obligatory too?

Buying Jump, DS, and Koro Koro comics could be made an obligatory part of compulsory education. We could live in an obligatory society where everything is done out of obligation. Everybody would start turning against Jump because they were obligated to buy it. Hee hee...... what an ugly heart I have. It bothers me that people say I'm obligated to make nasty comments like this. Jealousy, envy, and spite aren't my top three obligatory behaviors.

By the way, as Japanese citizens we're obligated to purchase actress Aoi Miyazaki's photo for 10,000 yen. There's nothing you can do about it

In fact, I'm also obligated to protect the planet's future. I must stop us from converging with parallel world, which could....ETC...ETC

>>62065031
Last one:

I'm a mangaka, and I died yesterday.
I died without selling even once.
I died without having my manga being turned into an anime even once.
Now, I'm climbing the stairway to heaven.
I tasted hell enough in my life,
and it seems like I don't have to go to hell now.
A self-appointed Michael wearing a Minky Momo T-shirt
showed up and talked to me.
"I was a fan of your manga."
Naturally, tears fell down my cheeks
because of the archangel's improbable words.
"Thank you, thank you.
You saved my soul at the very last second."
I took Michael's hand, and I lined up
all the words of gratefulness I had
in my meager vocabulary.
Then Michael continued like this.
"I especially like Ichigo 100%."
When I realized what he said, I bound Michael's arms behind his back,
and we fell from the cloud down onto earth.

please, no. If you can post any more, I'd really appreciate it.

>>62065113
That's all of them.

>>62065123
I'm sorry I was greedy. Thank you.

I don't even know what I should be feeling anymore when I read Kumeta's notes.

Every once in a while I get uneasy. I wonder if the things I draw are actually being printed in magazines, and if people are actually reading them. I'm shy, so I don't have a problem with them not being read, but sometimes I think that's it's some rich person's hobby and that I'm being duped. Maybe they're intentionally choosing a talentless author like me to write these stories, and they make me think that the magazines are being published, but meanwhile that person's looking at them and laughing...the really ingenious, grandiose shocker is that perhaps the neighborhood convenience stores and bookstores are in on the joke, and they're putting free copies of Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei where my eyes will see them...no, that's got to be it. It's just too bizarre to think that I'm being published in Shonen Magazine and having books published. Are my manga being sold in your town? Didn't think so...this manuscript couldn't even get to your town, so there's no way I could prove it. Every day my suspicions are getting closer to being confirmed.

It seems like people have all these negative expectations of me.
1 Don't expect me to be miserable
2 Don't expect me to fail
3 Don't expect me to be destroyed
