No, it's just a shit abbreviation.

Non-markdown forums usually use '' or '[b][/b]' tags for their formatting. This makes '' or '[/s]' a natural extension of the existing language; it most likely lost the formatting mark when it made its way out of the traditional forums.

@FluffyHugs:

Also actually having proper mods is probably very helpful, a lot of sites like KissManga that use Disqus just let trolling and general unpleasant behavior be the unfortunate norm.

Disqus comments are pure cancer, no matter the site's subject or political bent. Almost any site that uses its own comment system(even if registration doesn't require so much as checking your email) will have higher quality comments, decent moderation or not.

I thought, not even Zounose can put eating humans into a story about Flan being a dog, right? And I was right! What a miracle that turned out to be.

Canonically, Flandre isn't aware of her meals being human, so something indistinguishable from what it purports to be is exactly what you'd expect:

Speaking of which, she doesn't even know that what she always eats were once living humans. Her daily meals are made to look like foodstuffs such as cake and tea, after all...

Given that she already has half a dozen screws loose, that's probably for the best.

Unless you would prefer the interrobang, that's perfectly correct.

I'm not even from a native Spanish-speaking household but we all know enough of the basic "hello/what/thanks" stuff in enough languages to randomly say things like "que" or "danke" just for fun... do other people not do that?

Yes.

I can confirm as a native speaker:

Unless we're thinking of two different types of Spanish, I was thinking of the wrong word/situation. Got it. Uses of "que" just might not have registered.

A great deal if not most doujishi end with some form of "don't copy this floppy book" or "don't upload this to the web" in the colophon(and an increasing number are in English). Some are available at places like DLSite, but most are only ever available physically.

Is 'que' really right, though? I've only ever heard " por que".

Is that a golf club?

That was her very first weapon. I don't think she had it long before she started using pipe bombs, though(the guns came after Sayaka complained, being a melee fighter and all that).

Unless I'm completely mistaken, Akari returned the favor at one point. Dhe just might be into the whole "surprise sex you didn't know you wanted" thing.

I don't understand where you are drawing these conclusions from. How does Homura's treatment of Madoka's actions show that she doesn't care how Madoka feels? She is literally fulfilling a last request directly from a dying Madoka, and was most likely asked of her more than once. Madoka even says herself that she wouldn't want to leave her family and friends, she was wrong about not being strong enough to make the sacrifice but it clearly shows that if there was another way she would have preferred that.

That's the thing: she was basing her actions always on previous Madokas. When confronted with the final Madoka, the one trying to save her from becoming Homulily, she did little to find out what she truly wanted and took the same radical attitude she'd developed when try to save previous Madokas from Walpurgisnacht.

It was easily established when you see her laughing while unpacking with her family. Everyone is at their worst when they feel like there's nothing they can do about their crappy situation. Just like what Madoka did to Homura when she ended up sacrificing herself anyways despite all of Homura's effort to save her and then removed her time magic to prevent her from trying to fix everything.

Homura's time magic was incidental to her wish to save Madoka. Since she was now in a rewritten reality where Madoka couldn't die or become Kriemhild Gretchen, her magical girl powers would naturally be rewritten as well. And it's not like Homura wouldn't have met Madoka when her work on earth was through.

How is what Homura did any different? By your own analogy, Homura would be the person yanking Madoka out of the road right after she pushed the other person out of the way. Madoka made the sacrifice and Homura saved her from having to live forever like that. Madoka made that leap when she needed to but after falling it was Homura that caught her hand to pull her back up.

If Homura merely "saved her from having to live forever like that", she wouldn't have sealed Madoka's memory and trapped her in a false reality. She might be "justified" in splitting her from the Law of Cycles, but beyond that Homura is effectively denying her right to her own agency.

You forget that Homura has spent over a decade going through the same month over and over again. She has known Madoka for almost as long as she has known herself. Madoka was even the one that told Homura to stop her from making the stupid decision to become a magical girl right before she had Homura mercy kill her.

Homura became utterly monomaniacal about stopping Madoka from making that wish that why she was doing it became a secondary concern. How Homura treats Madoka's actions makes it fairly clear that, even after all that time, she still didn't understand her any better; it simply reduced her to the state where her monomania was the only thing keeping her from loosing it completely.

When was it established that Madoka was happy not existing? She is happy not being able to spend time with her family or that her family doesn't even remember her? I highly doubt that. She chose to sacrifice herself to save magical girls from becoming witches, just because she doesn't regret that decision doesn't mean that she is happy. Besides does Homura not deserve to be happy?

It's not established that Madoka's happy in Homura's fake world, either. One thing we see throughout the series is that Madoka's at her worst when there's nothing she can do.

How is Homura any different than Madoka? Was Madoka's universe not simply forcing Homura to live in a world she dreamt up? The one where she succeeds in her all-consuming quest to prevent the creation of witches? Homura repeated what Madoka did in order to fix all her mistakes.

What Homura did is almost impossible to differentiate from holding someone in a cellar "for their own good". Madoka's actions are more akin to jumping out in front of a car to push someone else out of the way. And, like I mentioned, we can see throughout the series that, if Madoka was in that position, she would never be able to live with herself if she didn't make that leap.

I have to agree the art is great, but I also have to agree it only makes the clutter worse.

I've taken Nezchan's advise and moved this to the series thread.

Continuing from the image thread:

It might help to look at things in broad context: it took Madoka twelve episodes of character development to make the choice to become Godoka. Homura used one line from an amnesiac Madoka to justify her actions. She's not acting in favor of Madoka's happiness when she does it; Homura's simply forcing Madoka to live in a world she dreamt up - the one where she succeeds in her all-consuming quest to prevent Madoka from becoming a magical girl.

Nico kind of look like Nozomi here 0_o

Me too. She did look like that in some of the earlier videos, though, so it's not completely out of nowhere.

Yuri crush

That's a weird way to spell Eli x Nozomi.

Quite the dialectal way to spell Eli x Nico.

So i'm not one to judge an author's works, but this mangaka has some sketchy stuff in her past and makes me wonder how she ended up drawing such a cute series

This comment made me look up Tomekichi's stuff on sadpanda and it looks like her favorite thing is crossdressing/gender bending. Somebody probably suggested body swapping to her as a natural extension.

Not really. I'm ~200 lbs and my younger sister's been able to pick me up like that since she was 16 or so. Granted, she lacks the popsicle build Homura has(she's more like a fudge pop), but the point still stands.

It's all fun and games until someone chokes on their own vomit.

I refuse to ship yayacoco when papikacoco is cannon

Your lips say no but your posting here says yes.

Is this something the Japanese actually do? Say something perfectly reasonable, and follow it with "Just kidding!" ?

The original term seems to be a bit more flexible. Something along the lines of "oopsie" except for words.

@Vankomycin:

It's just pulled down half way.

The only way to best Kobayashi in a staring contesting is with a meido distraction. And Toooru is going to have a rather hard time with that.

I don't get why you guys did not understand such simple story.

Even the simplest of stories becomes confusing with a poor presentation. They could have made the story a thousand times clearer with a few additional pages.

It looks more like Patchy is stretching Alice, rather than Alice having a buttplug(and if she did have one, it looks like it got completely swallowed up).
