Alien Nine n' Stuff Anonymous 02/28/25 (Fri) 04:01:07 No.7671 [Reply]

I've read Alien Nine like around December 14 2024, and it really intrigued me about the characters and the world (and it was really a screwed up manga lol), that I want people to learn more about it! Have any of you read it? What do you think of it? Hope we can have a conversation about it.

(This is my first time using an imageboard, so hopefully I can learn how to use them…)

>I haven't read it what do *you* think about it?

To be honest, while it's nice to see new concepts and see the (traumatic) adventures of the girls continue (plus, there's Monami, so that's nice), I just feel it was just rushed and once a concept appears in the manga, it just disappears the moment you blink. Plus, things just go a tad bit "too" fast for its own good, not letting you breathe of what happened earlier. I believe it has the potential to be even grander than the original Alien Nine and know who Monami (the girl with crazy hair, the one you see on the cover image I posted) is, but 7 chapters was ""TOO"" short to have the concepts stay for a bit longer. While I still enjoyed it, it's just a shame it was rushed…

Also Kumi looks like Mangle from FNAF, I don't know why I think that… XD

I just finished Milk Closet, which I read after seeing these panels. The story was bizarre–something about jumping between universes that reminded me of Bokurano–and the insects were horrifying. There's a page showing baby ants crawling out of a teammate's dessicated head. Also the ending got to be quite a slog.

Honestly I think these panels were probably the best parts.

I like the Assimil and Pimsleur courses combined with a textbook. Just beware that while it does help you read and listen to Japanese it doesn't train the active speaking element at all but Pimsleur is good for that. Now combine these with either Genki and Minna No Nihongo, just make sure you pick one. Textbooks are more structured and teach you the grammar and there's no substitute for that. Download them as they are very expensive. This here is a nice little reference grammar focused on manga:
https://archive.org/details/japanese-the-manga-way

You can use online dictionaries. Again, just pick one you feel comfortable with. Pimselur/Assimil, textbook + reference materials is all you need. Remember to consume a healthy amount of Japanese daily. I don't mean just listening to stuff, but actively interacting with Japanese audio/text so you are mentally parsing what they are saying and letting it sink in. Focus on learning kana first and like the other sushi said, you can use flashcards, anki etc.

You can pick up everything you need from libgen.

pure kana is borderline unintelligible without spaces.

But if you only want to learn to read the pronunciation for karaoke purposes or something, I second what >>7735 said, you just need to practice flash cards or writing them repeatedly.

I just don't see why it's appealing, lewd or otherwise. I guess if you're a military autist and saw the potential in having literally everyone be a horse archer by default, but even then.

So in the end the dragon ended up being best girl as always: pretty coloring, strong as hell, cute voice, is capable on commanding an entire city, scratch that…she built it herself, what's there not to like? Or so I would say but the mares give her some really strong competition, particularly THAT scene. Harpy the worst, if we're going for something younger the fish is better no matter if Ho-oh is a thing or not, or at least that's my opinion.

Honestly expected a subpar Monmusu no Nichijou but ended up being something completely different, really like it, and Sapphee is a top cutie there's no denying that. A snake is fine too I guess.

Do you read the manga? If that's the kind of thing you want you'll probably like the chapters that come after where the anime ends. Or I guess just the second season since it's a pretty close adaptation so far.
