Ishura Discussion Thread

[Antoniofer]

Discussion thread about Passione's most recent anime: Ishura (because someone has to create it). Discuss about the light novel, anime, manga, potential profiles (because the verse has no profile yet), as you see more fitting. Beware the spoilers, Vol 5 just released and not everyone have read it (including me).

Hi

 

[Antoniofer]

Oh, hey there; guess there's another fan of this series out there, unless you are commenting out of pity.

No not exactly fan but not out of pity either

I have my eyes on this series for sometime now.

So might as well wait for Anime and here we are

 

[Antoniofer]

Quite the amount of people complaining I see (not here, obviously)...

Are multiple POV animes really that weird that series with that narrative element tend to scare off potential watchers?

Kekw I have no problem with it whatsoever

I don't like it I also don't hate it either

 

[Antoniofer]

People also do not stop in asking who is the mc, or what happened to Soujirou (believing he is the mc). Like, is clear there's no going to be a defined mc, at least not for the time being; stick to your favorite character and expect that one to not die, just as I did.

I was like “holy shiiit” when I watched the first episode, then I binge read the novel until volume five. My reaction after reading the novel was “holy fkin shiiit”.

Definitely one of the best novel I read after a long time.

 

[EldemadeDityjon]

Started watching the anime still haven't read the novels. Gonna follow this thread for now.

That was a quick read, 5 volume in less than two weeks... or maybe I'm just a slow reader, even with free time, it would take me like 3 days to finish one volume.

I just had a lot of free time I guess.

Saw an AMV that got me hyped for the series and have been keeping up w/the anime. Not gonna lie, some episodes got me dozing but I find it has promise!

 

[First_Witch]

Damn, someone beat me to it. I recently finished Vol1 of the light novel and man, is the series is amazing. I wasnt expecting so many Shuras to die so early on and it saddens me that we coudnt see more of them (Higuare versus Soujiro would had been a amazing fight)

When are we starting to agenda post btw. Alus and Soujiro a him

 

[Antoniofer]

First Witch catching up my taste in japanese stories and taking them as his own? It had been years since the last time something like that happened.

Shame you'll have to see the mandrake dying again in today's chapter.

 

[First_Witch]

Hey hey, I found Ishura when its first manga chapter was translated years ago. I simply decided to read the novel 2 weeks ago.

Higuare my beloved...

 

[JnSteHar002]

Has anyone gotten on making profiles or calcs?

 

[Antoniofer]

I made some profiles shee— oh, for the wiki? no, I made few of them for a game tho. Also kind of old to made calcs.

They look nice!

 

[Antoniofer]

Thaks, been practicing with Scribus lately, next week would be Dakai (and I guess that would be it for the rest of the season).

 

[Second22]

I just watched the first episode of this anime, and it was really enjoyable. If there's any calculation task you need help with, I'd be happy to assist.

 

[Antoniofer]

Welp, guess we are done for the season, but at least we have S2 confirmed and even a teaser.

 

[First_Witch]

Just finishes vol2. I was sceptical about reading a entire volume with a completly different set of characters, but after finishing it? I think I like vol2 more.

The Particle Storm vs an entire group of different Shuras was unreasonably hype. Mestelexil and Toroa are awesome and I cant wait for their future rounds

The only segment that bored me was Rosclay and his fight with Gilnes. No interessting skill nonsense, no cool sword techniques, World Arts spammer and the fact that hes a fraud in a memetic AND literal sense make for a interesting read.

 

[Antoniofer]

Toroa the Awesome, indeed. He is my favorite character in terms of combat prowess (you can say that based in my avo), and I'm a sucker for badass normal people that use interesting equipment.

RESPECT!!! It's why I love Sojiro the Willow-Sword

 

[First_Witch]

HOLY SHIT ISHURA IS PEAK.

Vol3 "Kazuki the Black tone"

Or so I thought but Shalk had to remind me who the guy was that scared the shit out of Soujiro:

That was cold as ****.

Sucka for Kazuki though, homegirl had a whole colored image for her

 

[First_Witch]

Doing some calcs baby. Results are decent and depending on how the Sixways Exhibition goes, could scale to more than just Mele

Saw them and sounds great!

 

[PowerToScale]

Hey, I didn't know we had a discussion for Ishura, I have a couple of calcs ready to make for the series and slowly making a starting profile for Soujiro. I hope to get the calcs out tomorrow. I am almost half way through Volume 2 right now

YES! LET'S GGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calcs are accepted. Assuming Mele isnt soloing the entire Exhibition, this might scale to a good chunk of people.

 

[PowerToScale]

Finished my calculations:

• Shulk's speed against Aureatia solders
• Dakai's perception speed

I think Dakai's perception could be higher, iirc a statement of him being able to see the very nanosecond Soujiro moves

 

[Antoniofer]

Dakai's calc do not work: its too vague. The comparing to a snail's speed if for when speeding objects appear frozen in time, no when slowed down.

I've seen in some threads that snail speed is fine, and have used it before. I think it should be fine

 

[Antoniofer]

Those threads would be wrong then. A modern, firearm projectile could have its speed dropped to a crossbow's bolt and still would be considered slowed down.

I'm sorry, but what are you on about?

 

[Antoniofer]

That "slow motion" is not synom of "as fast as a snail"; rather, it means slower than regular speed.

 

[PowerToScale]

That "slow motion" is not synom of "as fast as a snail"; rather, it means slower than regular speed.

Slow motion refers to something that is incomprehensibly slow that it slower that it looks like its barely moving an inch. When you say a bullet is in slow motion you don't think its a slow as an arrow, otherwise that isn't slow motion, you think barely moving an inch, slow as a sloth or snail.

 

[Antoniofer]

Slow motion refers to something that is incomprehensibly slow that it slower that it looks like its barely moving an inch.

This is an exaggerated interpretation of the meaning of "slow motion"; no english dictionary define the term like that.

 

[PowerToScale]

This is an exaggerated interpretation of the meaning of "slow motion"; no english dictionary define the term like that.

Slow motion is defined as something that is moving much slower than its normal speed. Now if we take a look at slow-motion examples in books, movies, animation, manga, etc.. we see that it is constantly depicted as something that moves incomprehensively slow that when characters are walking normally they are faster than the other person/object.

It's the status quo that slow motion is near sloth/snail speeds.

 

[First_Witch]

Finished Volume 3. Its peak. The results of both rounds seriously suprised me, I didnt expect Alus to lose his round. Who the **** can even fight Lucnoca at this point?

Toroa vs Psianop was terrific, Toroas stick being power mimicry was unexpected but works with his power set, He got Psianops predictive ablities already, what kinda monster would he become if he gets Soujiros sword techniques?
