This started off so good, and then it went off the rails and ended so poorly. I'm so sad.
>>284670910Did you read 21st Century Boys?
>>284670910not my problem
>>284670941Yeah, the whole "you can't kill him, you'll be just like him!" really stretches plausibility when he's committed literal genocide and established a Big Brother dictatorship
>>284670910Yeah, Urasawa's quality is all over the place. It's worth it to find the times where he manages to go through an entire series without self-destructing.
>>284670910Every single one of this guys manga flow the same way. He baits you with an interesting premise, the mysteries keep you hooked and then it goes completely flaccid and just ends without really answering anything.
>>284673293What mystery manga ever have a satisfying ending, Death note sucked, Liar game sucked. The better the beginning is, the higher the expectation for the ending will be
>>284673293He managed to avoid those traps with both Monster and Pluto
>>284673446Not manga, but odd taxi and steins have good endings. Baccano is also good at concluding (even if the novel is never going to be finished)
>>284673293There's always answers. They're just not always good. 20th and Pluto have shitty answers. Billy Bat has good answers.
>>284670910>started off so good, and then it went off the rails and ended so poorly.every urasawa manga ever.
>>284670910it's a complete trainwreck by the end.
>>284670910well we will always have "Bob Lennon"
>>284670910welcome to every naoki urasawa work ever, he cant writing an ending to save his life
>>284673786steins;gate ending is an overly convenient asspull.
>>284673293pluto was decent but the fact its basically a spinoff of an existing canon meant the endpoint was already in place beforehand
>>284677689Huh? How can it be an asspull when the series is basically about explaining that event?
>>284677976>the series is basically about explaining that event?No it isn't, the problem is that Okabe in on a worldline where Mayuri has to die and can only get out of it by switching to a worldline where Kurisu has to die. Except at the last minute he gets a tip from the future that actually the only condition of that worldline is Kurisu has to LOOK like she's dead, because???It's an asspull.
>>284678125That's the event that causes him to send the first email. The series is about how he diacovers the Steins;Gate and figures out how to alter events. Sometimes I think many of you don't go to the shows so that it's easier to talk shit
>>284673786Odd Taxi works because it's short. A manga full of mysteries that drag on for 20 volumes is always going to feel disappointing. The same fate was inevitable for Lost.
>>284675487Truly the Steven King of anime.
let me guess. you don't like music either
Urasawa is the Abrams & Lindelof of manga. Shove that mystery box up your ass
>>284678235>figures out how to alter eventsExcept none of this ever worked when it was Mayuri getting killed because reasons. S;G doesn't hold up nearly as well as you're pretending it does.
>>284679277What? Mayuri dying helps him find the solution because he starts investigating, it's not necessary to pretend to be retarded
>>284680036>The problem exists because it helps him find the solutionThis writing is retarded.
>The end of this simulation fucking BREAKS YOUR MIND and makes you kill yourself because your puny consciousness can't comprehend what you're observing!>Bait what it is for several dozen chapters>Turns out that it's an adult face on a child's body That's when I knew he was writing by the seat of his pants.
I understood that the manga was unsalvageable when the Mary Sue daughter took the spotlight.
