Because Gainax.

Gainax has never produced a good anime.

Because of shitty source material.

>>64281111

Because you didn't read the manga and reach the Minus arc.

>>64281293
So I have to torture myself so I can get to "the good" parts you so much think but I am yet to know?

Gainax still has episode 3. If it doesn't redeem itself by the end of it, Medaka Box gets dropped.

>>64281388
Dude, nobody cares. A lot of people acknowledge it blows until Kumagawa actually shows up.

>>64281111
The main character is a Mary Sue.

I wasn't overly impressed with the first episode, but I thought the second one was pretty great.

>>64281111

Helps if you don't watch shit subs.

>>64281457

I don't think you know what that term means.

>>64281388

Yes you do. Have fun missing out though. Makes no difference to me so long as you don't come into threads shit posting with a half assed opinion after not watching the whole series.

>>64281457
Your point? What's wrong with a Mary Sue?

>>64281457
No, it's Kurokami Medaka.

Kumagawa dump faggots.

>mfw Gainax knows the three episode rule and will skip right to Enforcers in four

>>64281577
If gainx were smart they would have skipped to the minus arc. It's not like this shit will bring in any new viewers/readers.

>>64281577
but that's not true.

>>64281682

>Shonen Jump

EVERYTIME! Kumagawa! Mah nigga. Please to god Nisio, don't let the current arc be a flop. All the best characters are there...

It can't be helped.

>>64281577
>to Enforcers

But even the box arc is better than that.

>>64281388
「It's not my fault that I appear so late.」

>>64281777

The Box arc is great on it's own. The Flask Plan arc was the worst arc yet.

I'm on chap 84 and why is Medaka so pissy about Kumagawa

>Dat feel when you know this series is going to bomb since it's covering the manga's worst story arcs and the good ones will never get animated.

>Hey guys, I think Medaka is shit. Is the manga any better?
>What do you mean it gets better aftet 50 chapters? I don't want to do that!
>But should I?
>Please respond
>I won't read 50 chapters because the manga is complete shit, even though I just watched 2 episodes of the anime
>Please, answer me. Should I read it anyway?

Every Medaka anime thread ever.

>>64281111
>Why is Medaka Box so shitty?
It's a derpy manga adapted by a once good studio that seemingly has lost the balls it once had.

I want the Gainax that would intentionally fuck up an adaptation for the better.

>>64281388

Nobody cares, fuck off.

>>64281869
Because Kumagawa ripped off Ajimu's face and he's so fucking stubborn that his whole attitude is unbearable for Medaka

>>64281869

You'll see man.

>>64281898
I bet faggots will be all over it once the fights start in the anime. I bet. It may be shitty in the manga, but the anime exclusive fags will drool.

>>64281973
No. No one will admit they're actually enjoying Medaka Box. They'll all say "The fights are awesome because of the animation and music! But the shole shows is shit anyway"

>>64281902
Anybody has that image comparing "Medaka manga threads" and "Medaka anime threads"?

>>64282076
It's funny because he's done that like three times already.

because your taste is shit

Wait guys... if both Medaka and whats-his-name the brother are "main characters," wouldn't all of the suitors be unbeatable too?

>>64282076

I used to hate Kumagawa when he first showed up. Now he is my favorite character. What happened?

>>64281965

That suave motherfucker!

>>64282097

I'm sorry you feel that way, OP.

>>64281957
I know that, but I assumed she was more forgiving. And yeah, I guess he can be a prick and annoy the fuck out of her. So was Ajimu close to Medaka? And does Zenkichi like Ajimu? Because Kumugawa calls Ajimu his girlfriend

>>64282169
He made your hatred become nothing.

Because it's a manga that runs in Shonen Jump. You need to be under 16 or incredibly uneducated when it comes to works of fiction to enjoy it.

>What's wrong with a Mary Sue?

Case in point.

>>64282216
Thanks, that's the most useful image on /a/ for me

>>64282246
>So was Ajimu close to Medaka?
No. They didn't know each other.
>does Zenkichi like Ajimu?
Zenkichi likes Medaka and no one else.
>Kumagawa calls Ajimu his girlfriend
He doesn't. CxC fucked upt again. Even if they didn't, Kumagawa called himself Medaka's boyfriend; NEVER TRUST HIM.

>>64282246

Zenkichi is in love with Medaka alone. Kumagawa is just fucking with him when he says that, as he always is. Ajimu was never close to Medaka IIRC correctly, she just hates the fact that she is unable to change how Kumagawa sees himself, the world, and the things around him.

>>64282300
There is nothing wrong with a Mary Sue. Stop being a faggot.

Except it's not, I haven't read the manga yet but those two episodes that aired were fucking awesome. You should just go back to your naruto.

>>64281456

I don't know, the Flask Plan arc was pretty good in my opinion. But yeah, everything up until that... ugh. I think I may just skip the eps before Unzen shows up.

How many eps is this, anyone? One person said 12, one said 45, one said 24... has anyone confirmed it?

>>64282429

We'll have to wait and see, it seems.

>>64282363
>>64282326
I see, that Kumugawa is always a magnificent troll. Thanks

>>64282429
BD volumes for up to ep 12 have been announced but there's no set amount of eps yet.

>>64282429
I actually loved the Flask Plan arc. Yes, the earlier chapters about the box were pretty bad, but I once Kikaijima joined the student council and Unsen tried to kill them, everything has been fun as fuck to read.
>has anyone confirmed it?
No confirmation about anything, so we'll just have to wait.

Just another series people only like because IT IS OBSCURE. Hopefully now it has an anime people will stop trying to say it is good.

>>64282545
>people only like because IT IS OBSCURE
0/10

>>64282545

0/10 son. Even it's fans say the manga isn't great. You tried to hard and failed. I'll be calling your parents for a conference tonight.

>>64282545
When will people understand we read it for him.
We know the manga is not that great but Nisio always pulls the most random crap so its entertaining to read

>>64282300
>Case in point.
A Mary Sue is only shitty writing if the character was supposed to have flaws and development in the first place. That means, the writer isn't usually aware of it, but rather supposed to be doing something and failing.

Here, her being perfect it's the whole premise.

>>64282680
>When will people understand we read it for him.
You should stop generalizing too.

>>64282680
>we read it for him.
I read it for all the characters that aren't Medaka.

>>64282817

Yes. Not even joking.

>>64282817
It's like you didn't even see the spoiler pictures in this thread.

>>64282680
I read it for Medaka's siblings actually, and Zenkichi

>>64282817

Well, he alone saved this manga from cancelation.

Not even Kumagawa will save this pile of garbage.

>>64283051
>cancelation
Let's not start with this again.

>>64281855
>>64281855

>I was the victim

Well at least the mangaka knows what assholes act like, but I'm already surrounded by 7 billion assholes who do nothing but torture others yet have a victim complex.

Picked up the manga, fuck anime adaptations

>>64283072

>Didn't read the manga.

Tell me it aint true, guys. Is this really how GAINAX dies?

>>64283172
GAINAX died a long time ago.

>>64283118

why is the anime fanbase so shitty

Medaka can't do shit. She causes the entire school to hate her over the course of the manga until she only gets 2% of the vote when the ENTIRE SCHOOL VOTES in the next student council election.

>>64283284
anime fanbases are always shitty

>>64281682

This works as a banner

>>64283249
>2 years old
>bigger and more developed that his older brother and sister

>>64282817
maybe, maybe not (I don't own your taste)

but remember those moments in which an ok or good anime instantly turns into a god-awful one

the moment they introduced the guy was the complete opposite of those moments

>>64283317
second

Can someone thoroughly explain the concept of minuses to me? I picked up the mange a few days ago because why the fuck not, and I'm really hung up over this.
I've gotten to the student council battle royale arc, but that shit still makes no sense to me. From where I'm standing, it just seems like minuses are abnormals who happen to be assholes.

I think Medaka being a cliched idealist is actually a good thing for the world she is in, because most people in her own world react the way /a/ is right now, "what a fucking Mary-Sue, fuck this bitch". They acknowledge the fact that she offends people with everything from her voluptuous body to her ridiculously bloated ego to her overpowered ability to her Shirou levels of misplaced faith in humanity.

>>64283425

Minuses are people who believe so lowly of themselves that they develop an abnormality because of it. They accept that they cannot succeed ever, and that they are useless shits too the world, as negative as they can be, and will always remain that way. The negativity is so powerful it gives them abilities akin to abnormalities. But it always has something to do with the negativity they feel about themselves.

>>64283425
minuses are people who get screwed by life so hard they become twisted and develop a loser's train of thought. They can no longer think like a rational human or empathize with other people. Life shat on them and now they're shitting on everyone else

>>64283425
Mostly like that, yes. In the world of Medaka Box, the personalities really make the abilities, and vice versa.
So the minuses have fucked-up personalities that give them abilities to fuck up people. Like that girl that opened scars.
That's how I see it, anyway.

>>64283494
/a/non then.

>>64283595

Pretty much. Imagine how fucked up things would be if we lived in Medaka's world.

>>64283595
Precisely. I can see Kumagawa having a trip and being annoyi-WAIT HE'S PARK RANGER

>>64283629
Oh god... So many people with the power of punching people through the internet

>>64283521
>>64283485
So does that mean that the other abnormals think very very highly of themselves and get their abilities that way?

>>64283666
Don't compare them, please. We actually like Kumagawa.

Also, Kumagawa isn't 500kg.

>>64283705
No. The abnormals just happened to have those abbilities.

>>64283425
minuses are people with really twisted personalities, which are reflected in their abilities

Reading chapter 140, Ajimu tries to scratch her temples if you know what I mean.
"Kurokami phantom! looks nice in color"
Oh my sides

>>64283705

Hmm...not really. Abnormals' abilities are usually physically based. They are special beings born with the ability to be higher above the rest. They always tend to have something that has to do with their bodies unlike minuses which encompass and are based on personality.

>>64283730
Seems convoluted, but whatever.
So, to reiterate for my own benefit:
Abnormals: mutants
Minuses: psychopaths
Zeros: Zenkichi

But wait... Shiranui is a minus, right? She doesn't seem altogether that fucked up, especially compared to the other minuses. I mean, she even has a friend in Zenkichi. She's conniving, sure, but is she really technically a minus?

Because not Yoko Hikasa.
Because only 12 episodes.

Fuck that. Her voice just sounds wrong, especially when I keep expecting Yoko.

>>64283833
This reminds me; Naze made "Ice-Fire" during her fight, saying that he had "made a minus".

Is she tsundere?

I think it was Maguro or Naze (or maybe even Hitomi) who once commented on how a minus becomes worse the more developed it is. If so, wouldn't Medaka The End'ing a minus would completely fuck the world over, or would her Mary Sue personality able to negate the catastrophic consequences? Is she even able to copy a minus? I'm not sure we've seen an exmaple of that.

>>64283898
About Shiranui, I remember she has a "Real Eater", what the hell does that do?

>>64283898

This is true.

For Shiranui however, she hasn't been touched upon much so we know nothing about her really. She could be exremely fucked up in the head for all we know. Or a different brand of minus born through being a minus in the past, but stopped becoming negative and became something else like a Positive minus. A Negative or something. We'll probably see this arc since she seems she will be fighting.

>>64283425
they pretty much talk about minus abilities more as curses than gifts and a very big counter against "The End" since if Medaka uses 120% of their abilities it'll just harm all around her friends and enemies alike

>>64283996
What if Ajimu steamrolls the pervert team and it turns into a murder mystery?

>>64283930

I agree, Hisaka Yoko or mai Yoko would've been more appropriate.

>>64283898
Where do Not Equals fall into the equation?

>>64283051
Who won the first poll?

>I have no idea who Hirado Royal is

Here's Medaka's flaws:

1. She thinks that unconditional trust will win anyone over and ends up causing ridiculous problems for everybody trying to support her.

2.She thinks that love is all it takes to save people and once again ends up causing ridiculous problems for everybody trying to support her. Although this also means that she makes out with women.

3. She's actually a petty bitch who can't even hold on to her reckless idealism in many situations because she lacks the conviction and the actual faith in herself and others.

4. While she shows her enemies love in order to win them over, she shows affection to her friends by toying with their emotions and through derision and mockery. It does not usually end up tempering them as she hopes and instead causes them to resent her.

5. Her misplaced pride makes her run some ridiculous and drawn out gambits thinking she can say "just as planned" but every time it just ends up with one of her friends getting hurt.

6. Her entire personality is officially overcompensating because she wants to be what people see her as ever since she met Zenkichi, even though she's actually a borderline sociopath who has difficulty understanding the emotions of others.

>>64284073
They have both abnormalities and minuses.

>>64284078
>Hirado Royal
Volume 3; Chapter 24. The first and last time she appeared.

>>64283898
>>64283996
She HAS a minus but it's either one of the best minus powers or that isn't all she has.

I think it's premature to classify her with the minus when she's proven to be one of the most instrumental characters in the background of the show.

>>64283970
If I recall it, she can copy a minus. But there's the personality issue.
The example they gave was Munakata. If Medaka "The End"ed his ability, she would also "The End" his personality. So, she would be a real serial killer.

I read yesterday the entire manga for shits and giggles, I had the day off.

I gotta say , it's too fast paced. It needs time to develop, I was entirely dissapointed by the fact that seconds after an entire arc's conclusion, and Medaka's brainwashing being undone? BAM, immediately fucking Kumagawa gets introduced and this whole series begins to go fast again.

I mean, come on, is he trying to deconstruct the battle manga genre by telling us everything develops too fast? Fuck, I dont even get a few seconds to enjoy the damn series before some new villain wants to challenge the Z Warriors, I mean, student council.
(Spoiler Alert)
And Medaka is entirely dislikeable. I mean, not only is she insanely overpowered, she completely dissed and treated like shit Zenkichi, a man who basically lives to make her happy, even beating him to a fucking pulp.All because he was , for a single moment, not as awesome as she thought he was.

And she's not just overpowered. She literally is an unbeatable god that has to try to nerf herself so she can understand her.

There's no drama here.
It's just "HOW WILL MEDAKA REDEEM PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM THEIR BUDDY?"

>>64284160
I don't even have to look it up. That's the girl from class 13 that tried to rip Medaka a new one with her two friends and get curbstomped on the go by her.

And you're wrong, she shows up in Medaka's flashback too, after Zenkichi told her everyone likes her already.

>>64284073

They do not fall into the equation. They are Not Equals for a reason.

>>64284245
>And she's not just overpowered. She literally is an unbeatable god that has to try to nerf herself so she can understand her.
Yeah, that was the whole point of Ajimu's arc. She even said she wouldn't defeat Medaka because she's way too overpowered, so they just beat her in a popularity contest.
>It's just "HOW WILL MEDAKA REDEEM PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM THEIR BUDDY?"
Hopefully, this new arc won't be like that.

>>64284063
