I haven't read or watched this series, why do all the characters have their tits out?
I know the actual answer is because the author is horny and knows the audience is horny too but is there an in universe explanation?
Like in The Demon Girl Next Door, Shamiko's magic form shows off her skin because succubi gain more power the more exposed they are, is there anything like that in this?
>>
>>4275993
The MC has an initially repressed sadistic side so her outfit as a villain is the first element that reflects that. Other villains are exhibitionists so they get appropriate outfits, note that not all of them are and get more modest outfits such as the loli. The magical girls have perfectly appropriate regular outfits. Then everyone starts getting powered-up forms that reflect their development, and for some of them including the magical girls this involves embracing the lewdness they're constantly inflicting and/or being subjected to.
>>
>>4275994
So basically in universe horny.
Thank you.

Overall I like the manga more than the anime due to many different factors, but I can’t help but appreciate the anime for reminding me of a simpler time. I do enjoy the whole cast of the manga, but trying to make everyone part of the main cast does feel sort of tiring at this point. It’s sort of nice remembering the times of 3v3, but it’s 3v3v3+1 at this point in the manga. I like Roboko but I wouldn’t mind if she goes back to her home planet at the end of her arc.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>4277184
I feel you, but I am a little more lenient with the author right now, considering we don't know what he plans to do in this next arc. The Shiochans get culled, offscreened, or sidelined. They know both Enormeeta and Tres Magia identities, BUT Vena also knows Lord's identity. All the author would need to do is have Vena threaten to come after the Shiochans in order to discover Tres Magia's identities thus forcing the Shiochans to go into hiding or sacrificing themselves to stop Vena. Easy peasy solution. Roboko, on the other hand, is could make or break the Manga. One theory suggests that she is just there to give Korisu's VA an actual job to do. If that's the case, then I assume she's just going to be a mouthbox and a protector for Alice. That's acceptable. What wouldn't be acceptable is if the author wasted months' worth of chapters trying to develop Roboko when the human characters all need it more. This Manga is about magical girls at the end of the day, and Roboko is a robot. Wasting time ith her would doom this Manga and I don't think the Author is that stupid. Especially since we had this huge hiatus for him to think about the story.
>>

>One theory suggests that she is just there to give Korisu's VA an actual job to do.
Seriously, who came up with this bullshit theory?
>>
>>4277253
>One theory suggests that she is just there to give Korisu's VA an actual job to do

>>
>>4277264
Is it really a bullshit theory, though? Getting paid to do small moans while all the other actors have to do big lines with emotion packed into them seems kind of ridiculous. Roboko gives her an actual job to do.
>>
>>4277269
Anon unless you're a time traveler from the future that confirms Roboko in s2 it's not likely.
>>
>>4277270
It's clearly for S3 and beyond, retard. If the VA sticks with the show, then she should be able to get more lines like the rest of the cast. Author probably didn't consider Alice having a VA because he didn't think Mahoako would get an animal. Now that Mahoako has one, he probably felt it was necessary to have some way for Alice to communicate besides grunts. Roboko was probably the solution.
>>
>>4277273
While them having the same VA makes logical sense I don't feel there's any real indication that was something that was planned out already, like I don't think the author did that specifically for that reason. It has too much root in past events, it was basically foreshadowed too far ahead. I called it the moment Kiwi gave Alice the damn robot model for god's sake.
>>
>>4277253
it could also be that she's there to expand on alice. not to be her own character, but a combo with alice, a 2 in 1, to allow alice to get more character development in ways a mute character can't do on her own.

>>
>>4277278

I'm not even the one who said that. And anyways, the anon just said it's not confirmed. Making decisions for your manga based off of unconfirmed (note: doesn't say there will NEVER be a s3) ideas is not something that would typically happen. And calling anyone who isn't 100% positive about everything a doomfag makes you look retarded.

Most anime cap off at 1 season total, especially those handed off to a no-name filler studio like Asahi Productions. Expecting anything more is just detached from the reality of the subpar cashgrab adaptation we got.
The only authors that can be safe in the knowledge of any number of sequel seasons are popular Shonen Jump authors. And MahoAko ain't exactly My Hero Academia popular.
>>
>>4277333
I've seen plenty of really mediocre garbage get sequels (Tokyo Ghoul anyone?) but it's always funny to see people use Shonen Jack as a metric of quality while ignoring what happened with series like Toriko or Orient, also ignoring that publishers also pay for sequels or even an anime, like what happened with The World God Only Knows anime.

Also stop pretending that MahoAko isn't a good anime or doesn't have any merit to be popular, it's the logic that something has to be het/harem or have a male MC (preferably a loser) to be good or successful, MahoAKo literally faces like 3 or more of those in the same season.

I don't think we need more seasons personally, I was satisfied by one.

>>
>>4277452
Shonen Jump isn't a metric of quality. Quality is not what gets sequels. If it were we'd not have 3 seasons of arifureta or 7 seasons of mha. POPULARITY is what gets sequels, and Jump is without question the most popular manga brand both domestically and internationally. That's why only the popular authors in that magazine can be safe in the expectation of sequels.

MahoAko could have been a good anime. It could have been a great anime. The source material is incredible and has a lot of room for showing off. But what we got was not it. Poor animation, inconsistent voice acting, waifubait marketing, constant broken designs, and mediocre filler alongside the key staff mostly being newbies in their roles and production being handled by a studio that largely does not function as a main production studio makes it hard to see this as anything less than seasonal filler. Were it a het show no one would pretend otherwise, because there are dozens of het works given to filler studios and dismissed for the exact same reasons. Even the fans of many works like this lament the poor adaptations they got for works that are frankly better than what MahoAko delivered.
The marketing team just polished this turd so well it tricked half this board into thinking peak passion is when you turn a PV for a half-complete episode into an otoMAD and create a game that any half-competent web dev student could put together in an afternoon with one of the 500 tutorials online.

I don't really understand how a fan of the manga would look at the anime and think it's irredeemable. It's not perfect, but it adapts the manga in a respectful manner and even fixes some things from it. I still like the manga more, a lot more than the anime, but I think the anime did well by the manga and outperformed its expectations.

>>4277744
Also fuck inconsistent, Utena's VA was kino, can't believe how well she did with how new she is.
>>
>>4277744
By having standards beyond "the anime exists." The art in the manga is really fucking good. The way perspective is used in a lot of panels is great, the deep blacks that define the manga's style are used exceptionally, and a lot of the panels frankly convey motion better than the anime itself.
Meanwhile, you put the show next to any actually decent looking anime and the issues are immediately apparent. Even next to other Yuri like Wataten, FlipFlap, YuriKuma, etc. MahoAko regularly looks worse than these shows' worst moments, and this isn't comparing it to strong productions outside of the yuri space.

To be fair I have no idea what the fuck is going on in the fights in the manga, even after reading it all before the anime started. The anime seriously helped it a lot.
>>
Personally I don't want a S2 because they would adapt the "crack pairings" chapter. That chapter did serious damage to these threads, with so many posts pretending Momo is posting here it makes me sick. I don't want to see the anime only audience get to that, the community is happier without that chapter adapted.

I find action just tends to work better for action. More SoL moments I feel are just as good drawn or animated but more action oriented scenes are better to see in motion since the focus tends to be on the motion

That reminds me of several cases in other series, like in the Nanoha Vivid manga with the fight between Ein and the golem girl, in the manga it was a bit awkward, but in the anime it was really good and fluid.

>>4277765
I've watched a ton of shows, and I mean a ton (my list goes over 1900), several with different levels of production for different genres, and MahoAko still looks superior to the vast majority of what I've seen (Several are action series that literally fight to look good and fail.)
>>
>>4277765
Now compare MahoAko to other ecchi like Chained Slave, or Tales of Wedding Rings
Compare it to modern yuri like Sasakoi. Even the YuriKuma comparison feels dishonest. That show looks worse than MahoAko
Also I'll take uncensored mediocrity by people who understand the appeal of MahoAko over some sakugamasters like Mappa's Idaten Deities team or KyoAni or even JC Staff being too cowardly and censoring shit
For some reason, good animators and directors are fucking censors

>>4277806
I’ve preferred the fights in the manga so far. It’s only when they do the big group fights where I can’t just follow them

The voice performances in the anime justify the existence of the anime alone.
Honestly, who cares that it looks a bit cheap at times, this is essentially smut, we should be lucky it's getting any animated adaptation. Fucking snobs

Surprised no one has posted about the latest collab. I think this makes it the fourth one? There was the café one when the anime aired, one I don't remember the details of, the Tokyo Tower one, and now this one. With all this, plus the BD revenue and announced figures, they would really have to hate money if they didn't greenlight a season 2.

It's sadly the most boring pairing in the series. Quite literally, nothing is ever allowed to happen with it, and aside from one bellybutton makeout session, it hasn't even been mentioned since Leopard's La Verita, which was genuinely over three years ago now.
Every other pairing has some kind of spice going on, be it weird fetish shit or the simple fact that other pairings are allowed to go further (like LocoLeber, or MichiRanda). You could argue the pairing is plot-focused, but the growth of the cast's size and the lack of progression in this subplot has put it on the backburner for years.
People joke that Azul gets no chapters anymore, but in the time size Leopard's La Verita (and basically her last form of development, if you want to call it that), Azul has had like two chapters fighting Baiser. And for those two, they flirt when they fight.
Kiwi needs something to do. She's been basically the same since the end of her intro chapter.

Please give us the lenient janny back. The one that used to allow loli threads on the board.
>>
>>4279266
Loli's a body type. Alice and loli Lord are the only ones that apply. The rules say nothing about ages
Thus, why you can post for example yuri hentai of your average anime high schooler. Or Valkyrie Drive, despite Mirei being 15 or Mamori being 16
Even /a/, which isn't even a red board allows screencaps of every moment (including the nudity scenes) of MahoAko despite the ages. Same for any other ecchi (not hentai) anime or manga

This. It's basically "first out the gate, last to get developed" syndrome. In any anime/manga where multiple pairings are possible the one that gets a lot of development in the first volumes ends up getting kneecapped in the later issues. Basically, my theory is that most authors anticipate the series ending at a certain number of chapters, but then it gets super popular and they realize that the earlier rate of progression would lead to marriage by the midway point. So earlier flirting gets cut to a minimum and the pairing gets sidelined or even reduced to a gag pairing so the series can continue drawing in new readers with alternative pairings.

The ultimate example of this is Re:zero (het pairing, please don't stone me) Rem and Subaru. Rem gets put into a coma because she got too much development front loaded to her. She had to get disappeared to keep relationship development fresh.

Sales and popularity are nice things to have but they are not what decides sequels either. It is decided by suits, meaning nepotism, personal interests and speculation ultimately outweigh any real metric. If a producer takes an interest in it or thinks he can make money out of it, then there will be another season regardless of success. If not, then it doesn't matter how popular it is, how much it sold, how much merch there is, or how many collabs it gets, there won't be another season.

Roboko feels like a Stand more than a standalone character tbdesu. Also a way to do fuckmachine play or involve Korisu in stuff without sexualizing the loli.

I also like the three way dance we've currently got, and find Shio-chan/Lord/Hanako rehabilitating into a proper sparkly with the help of Utena a cool storyline. It also helps affirm that Utena is a good girl who really loves the essence of magical girls, instead of just being obsessed with and horny for them.

The fact Utena's sadism comes from an aesthetic-erotic fixation on the heroic struggle, rather than the girls in-and-of-themselves, is honestly much deeper, and more romantic, than it has any right to be. It's such a small detail but the way it grounds everything else is fantastic.

I think it's jannies overcorrecting and overreacting over anything that might spark controversy (like the lolicon debate). Instead of deleting only the posts that are actually breaking the rules, they nuke all the posts involved in an attempt to force the fighting to stop
I've seen it before. Mods/jannies just deleting "both sides" to put conflict to an end instead of picking sides. Probably afraid that anything less will be seen as them "picking a side" and being used to keep the conflict going "see mods/jannies agree with me". So to avoid threads being derailed by conflict that is barely even on-topic, they delete everything

Don't forget to check out the chapters for the anime eps. The art is rly good, and the anime changes enough with the canon that it's better to just start from the beginning.

Plus it lets you savor the manga longer. You'll need it since its not coming back for a while.

>The fact Utena's sadism comes from an aesthetic-erotic fixation on the heroic struggle,
She loves nothing more than to see a magical girl unlock some hidden power and triumph over immeasurable odds.
Thus, to enable the girls she adores to reach new heights, she has made herself the crucible in which they will be refined.
That's why she's -Magia- Basier, and none of the other girls are Magia whatever. She is a magical girl on the side of Justice.

Leaked basically almost every maintext adaptation that aired last year and this one

Eh. As they are they are still easily the top tier from the last few years. Uncensored ecchi is like a repellent to any good staffs. I dunno why
I'm just ready for S2 of MahoAko to beat S2 of Slave and Wedding Rings, like it did for S1 (and Passione's other het ecchi besides Slave S2: Nukitashi). Of course, I could be proven wrong and I'd be super happy if MahoAko pulled another Symphogear and after a more modest S1, it starts to look much better thanks to the first season suceeding beyond expectations

How much was actually censored? Wasn't it just the moans?
The anime even added in lewder stuff like nipples. What could they "add" to "uncensor" it further? Sulfur getting friendlier with female tentacles using her butt?
>>
>>4288938
Because design changes aren't intentional. So merch and stuff are gonna stick closer to the source because they can. But the anime is always gonna be tweaked to an style the staff can work with. The only way to keep desings 100% faithful is if you make a literal voiced slideshow of the colored manga panels.All anime tweak designs in some way. Trying too hard to remain faithful is how you get shitshows like Record of Ragnarok anime.
Then, there's cases where the anime designs end up becoming iconic and when new staff tries to go closer to the source, people get mad (DxD S4)
Either way, promo images and merch that doesn't need animation can stick closer to the source style

Even that doesn't look like the anime. In the anime, her hair is basically a ball. It's lame. She almost always seems to lack her swirls near the bottom, instead they look like lazily-ripped paper receipts.
It gets better as the show goes on, but only whenever she doesn't need to move.

Becaiuse details are harder to animate. How can't you get this? There's a reason those fighting shows with super muscly characters (Baki, Kengan, Record of Ragnarok) use CGI or are slideshows and lack proper animation. Being faithful to the muscles is super hard to move. Same with hair. The only ones that seem to do detailed hairs instead of simplifying it are GoHands (and they still butcher a lot to adapt to their insane style, so I prefer current MahoAko anime designs to what GoHands would do)

>>4288977
The purpose of a movie'd be to give the manga time to put out new chapters and not catch up. So I don't see why they'd rush. Also, given how the anime was careful with not rushing in S1 (to the point the main pacing complaint was the oppossite: pacing too slow. People wanted the Azul mindbreak sooner, for example), I doubt they'd suddenly rush or change their approach after S1 worked so well

When was the last time a non-hentai anime showed bushes?. Like I know Gunbuster. But in general ecchi doesn't seem to show that and I wonder if it's some regulation like the thing about how as long as dick and pussy aren't on-screen, anime can be ecchi and air as a TV anime on AT-X (and other channels with the appropiate censorship). But showing genitals needs to be mosaic'd and restricted to hentai OVAs. It's just strange that there's not a single ecchi with pubes and at that point, you have to wonder if it's because they aren't allowed to rather than creators not wanting to do it

>aged up MahoAko
The complaints would shift to "why are these grown adults acting like children" as seen in lots of recent anime with adults like Senpai wa Uzai, Kaijuu 8, Uzaki and others. People love to repeat that aging up works but then bitch about unrealism when the perosnalities don't match what these people expect of adults
So turns out age matters and authors go for underage for a reason

The point was to name franchises that suddenly had a gacha with a male MC thrusted in them. The retard who named Girls Frontline, Kancolle, and Idolmaster, completely missed the point because not only do those three not fit the description at all, the former two don't have male MCs at all, and then you went and doubled on the faggotry with your pedantic "ackshually it's a waifu collector game".

Awful misunderstanding of what the word "canon" means. If something is not directly stated or hinted within a story, then it's by definition not canonical. Your conclusion of the admiral being "canonically" male relies entirely on external information not directly connected to the narrative as well as an appeal to majority.
>>

>>4291988
Also, he still doesn't get that this is about inserting male MCs where there were none. KC's game is what started it, so even if the MC was confirmed male it doesn't fit what was being asked (which is something that starts with female MCs and yuri focus and then gets ruined by a later entry having a male MC and going het harem route. like Blue Reflection. Starts with girls and then the gacha inserted a male harem MC)

Am I reading this correctly? That is like 39,99 for all 13 episodes? I paid almost double the amount for the original and with just 4 episodes. Not that I am complaining because I wanted to support the franchise as best I could but how much will the mangaka or the studio get with just 39,99?
>>
>>4294264
It's not really a western thing to pay over 100 dollars for a BD, but it is a Japanese thing since that's mainly what drives anime production. For US it's like an extra thing that would be nice for fans to have, so they're not going to give you the extra goodies that came with the JP BDs because they're not expecting a ton of people to buy it. The US BD doesn't even have 3 disks and it's all bundled together, not in a special box or sleeve or anything.

JP BDs are usually either collectors items or sold to stores, so their prices are more inflated than smth like the west, where its just common home media. The other side of that tho is that JP BDs often have cool shit attached that may not make it over in the cheaper BDs we get.

>>4294341
BDs haven't been the predominant source of income in the industry for a while now (~6-7 years ago give or take?). W/ the exception of Idols or other otaku-centric stuff which has remained stagnant, everything else has been on the decline in favor of the convenience of streaming, w/ covid in particular helping push this shift hard.

Granted not that fancy, but it's on pre-order and releases December 3rd. Box says it has the uncensored audio and such. Only Jap dub with English sub. Not knowing the industry I get the feeling it did good enough on their streaming service to earn a physical print but not good enough for a English dub.

I'm just glad it wasn't touched by Nextflix, them fucks have a no physical release policy.

I'm underwhelmed. I was expecting to see a cast off, where you can change from frilly costumes to her semi-naked form...

But it's not like that at all...

i dunno, this pic suggests it is a cast off, except you go from pasties to nude tits. frilly costumes would be much harder to put on.

What character is most likely to become a furry.
My money is on Michiko because it would be funny.
>>
>>4297588
Watch it be Cyan's thing.
>>
>>4297588
>Baiser
I doubt it. She's all about being magical girl Dom. A furry would be outside of the character she is trying to play. Her autism over what a magical girl should and shouldn't be would probably stop her from ever putting on a fursuit.
>Kiwi
Now, I think she would be more inclined to do this. She's already shown very animalistic tendencies and also wants to try new things. She is trying to impress Baiser, so I imagine she may consider the fursuit could possibly work.
>Alice
This one is a 50/50. Alice is a child, but she's also somewhat aware of the sexual content that enormeeta does. If she doesn't know what furries actually do, she may put on a fursuit thinking fun playtime ahead. If she is aware of what furries actually do, then she will be massively disgusted by it. I could see her doing it for fun, but I could also see her not doing it too.
>Loco
Definitely a hard no. Loco is an exhibitionist. The fursuit would get removed every fight. Loco also wants to be an idol, so I assume furry culture isn't for her.
>Leber
Idk here. Leber's more of a voyeur and Loco's lover more than anything. She only goes along with the lewd stuff because of Loco. If Loco isn't into it, Leber probably wouldn't engage either.
>Magenta
Hard yes. She's too pure to understand the furry culture so she would get into it for either fun or to combat Enormeeta.
>Sulfur
Hard no. Anything Lewd is off the table for her. Furries are definitely something she would hate.
>Azul
50/50. Azul's an M so she might become a furry if it had a bdsm appeal, but I don't see her sticking with it outside of bdsm.
>Momo
Hard yes. She would definitely know about all the subcultures and totally have a suit.Of course, everyone else would be disgusted by it.
>Mich and Randa
Mich loves spanking while Randa wants a mean Dom. IDK here, but Randa might do it if Mich likes it.
>Sister
IDK here, too. She would make a good furry since her acting skills are superb, BUT would she want too? She is a mystery...
>>
>>4297645
You know, you don't need to wear a fursuit or anything like that to be a furry, you just need to schlick to Lola Bunny.
>>
>>4297695
If that's the case, then I think only Momo could be a furry then. The rest either have HUMAN girlfriends or have been relying on bdsm for self pleasure. I don't think any of them besides Momo are depraved enough to schlick to furries.

I don't think magical girls as a concept are exclusive with fur suits. Given some of the shit that Baiser has pulled, I can see her stuffing one of the Tres Magica into a fursuit that she's smacked with her magic.

Plus if Leopold gets into the concept, and her thing is cat themed, I can see Baiser playing along.
