    Finally finished Motto, and it just became one of my top favorite animes. Animation was better, story was better, and the end made me lol so hard.
    Basically Rito confesses to Lala (Its about damn time, too), but he also confesses to Haruna, however instead he accidentally says it to Yui, Run, Mikado, and Nana. Then Lala mentions he should marry them all.
    I can't wait for Darkness to come out.

    Has anyone heard if Guilty Crown has been dubbed yet? If not, do you know when?

    Same here, loved it.

    Risa or Momo pls. I'll take Mikado as a side and Lala fror afters. Haruna for the morning after.

    So, I have a long summer and a few seasons to watch/finish. I'm also looking into finding some Manga to read, but I'm gonna need some more Anime too. Suggest me stuff and provide links if possible too. :)

    Darkness = less Haruna and Lala, more Momo and Yami.

    If you're looking for the usual, you can try Love Hina. I remember the manga including some fanservice, so I imagine the anime will as well. The storyline is decent.

    I would recommend reading the manga adaption for Love Hina though. If you're looking for good manga, try Ichigo 100%. Beyond the cover and intro, there's actually an amazing storyline.

    Are you implying that Darkness will focus more on Yami?

    Yes, hence the title.

    The manga has been about a member of Yami's old syndicate trying to persuade her back into her old ways. Recently, it's been focusing on a certain relative of Yami, though.

    EDIT: Forgot the best part. Momo is starting the "harem plan" ;)

    Not gonna lie, but the fact that it focuses more on Yami is kinda a turn-off.
    Momo's plan sounds interesting indeed.

    I like Yami D:

    EDIT: The reason there is a lack of Haruna is because the author got into a scandal with his wife, whom she was based off of. The series was actually cancelled half way through, hence the horrible ending to Motto. The author later started it up again with Darkness.

    Any chance of a link to the Darkness Manga if you have one? I'd like to read it.

    Read manga To LOVE-RU Darkness Online

    I use that site because it loads all the pages on the screen at one time so you don't have to wait when proceeding to the next page.

    I would recommend reading the first series, but it's not exactly necessary to understand what's going on.

    Chapter 0.005 takes place right after the end to Motto and is a prologue to Darkness, so make sure you read it!

    Yes. Right to left, top to bottom. Unless someone went out of their way to mirror all the pages when they translated the manga.

    Going back to my question, has anyone found out if Guilty Crown got dubbed yet? I might watch it next since I finished Motto.

    No.
    And why would you watch it dubbed?
    Subs > Dubs

    Dubs > Subs

    Actually it depends on how good the dubbed voices are. I don't remember exactly, but I think there was this anime called Black Bible, and I heard the dub acting was HORRIBLE.

    Fixed.

    Do not watch Clannad dubbed. Ever.

    EDIT: Do not watch Angel Beats! dubbed either. Actually, don't watch anything from Kyoto Animation dubbed because it will be bad. Trufaqs.

    You guys do realize that it's usually a separate company that does the dub version?

    So I doubt very much that Kyoto Animation is the reason it's dubs are bad.

    You've misinterpreted, I didn't say Kyoto Animation was at fault. I just said that the anime produced by the company tends to have bad dubs.

    Angel Beats was amazing dubbed.

    And to give my opinion on the Sub vs Dub arguement: Sub = Dub. Each works better for certain anime in its own way.
