I have this problem with Manga. I can’t put on music or something because I’ll end up focusing on that more than the Manga. I can’t sit in silence and read because I get bored really quickly. It’s hard T_T
I just half-heartedly speed read most of it.Maybe I’d need to care more for the AB cast to get into it.
I love reading novels, but that’s because I love language and gives you a completely different version of it’s movie equivalent. With manga I feel like I’m reading a watered-down version of anime. The only advantage I really see from reading the manga is a) there is no anime adapted from it or b) the pacing is better or plot is executed more efficiently.
The latter doesn’t bother me, but since there is no other form of Heaven’s Door other than the manga, I can see the value in reading it.
Before I explain about this topic, I can say that I’m both a fan of Angel Beats! and Armored Core, So I have planned to make a fanfiction crossover between Angel Beats! and Armored Core with my style.
Alright, Let’s see what I said When I play AB:OW with Armored Core’s word
-Operation Start=Main System: Operation Accepted, Ready to deploy.
-Battle Start=Main System: Engaging Combat mode.
-Operation Success=Operation Objective Archieved, System switch returning to normal mode.
-Operation Failed=Operation Failed, hailing to the SSS base.
-High Tension Mode=System Warning: High Tension Mode Activated.
That just System words, here this is the armored core pilot word.
-Operation Start: Affirmative, Yuri. All unit attack, Annihilate the enemy shadows.
-Operation Success: Operation complete. Irie and Other member, heading back.
-Operation Failed: It’s over, Irie. Return to base…
-High Tension Mode: Now, It’s time to die!, the Damned Shadow!!!
That’s all that I said.
It’s not just about the fleshing out of the characters; the chemistry between characters is just as important, and the AB cast has great chemistry. The personality of all the characters are pretty diverse, and I can’t say the same for other key games.
That and, if you read Heaven’s Door, you’d see that they aren’t as empty as you might think they are My rating of Angel Beats isn’t just the anime, you know
My only two mobages have been ABOW and Fate/Grand Order, the latter of which makes ABOW look like they give away SSRs like candy. I’ll be happy with whatever this new one is, as long as they have a free gacha and it’s not insane rates.
Assuming they have some kind of gacha thing. Guess we’ll find out.
Yeah this one actually looks fun, as compared to ABOW. In usual japanese mobage fashion, it’ll probably have a life bar that determines when you can play a game, and will have cards (with illustrations) that give you more powerups or some shit.
