Kazu chapters tend to be the best chapters. Gosh from being distressed to being a hero and that Flame Road and I guess Spirfire's successor. Now Ikki needs to come back and Agito too.

It isn't even just that. Just look at any scene with Erza in it and how she stands there making sexy swimsuit poses and ass shots in every single panel even if she's not naked in the panel, which she is like 50% of the time.

Yeah, it's definitely where things began to get stale. He did notice at least that "urabe" was acting weird. The "payoff" for that arc was also very disappointing.. I guess Riichi just doesn't have a next level written for Tsubaki and Urabe.

It might be hard since the basis of Urabe's character is her being weird and mysterious (her absent parents, the nature of the drool connection, her odd way of showing emotion). I suppose Riichi was unprepared to make good on any of that.

Started reading after I got into MGX, way back when. Never finished it though, from what I read it was really good. Art wasn't as polished as MGX at the time, but MGX's art isn't even as polished as MGX at the time.

Have you read any of the Discommunication stuff he started in '99? I've skimmed through a couple pages, it looks pretty interesting.

I just made the mistake of actually going back to read chapter 36. Now I'm going to make the mistake of reading back from chapter 1 again, severe depression is likely the only outcome.

Cage of Eden

And there he goes. To be honest I think he's way too fucked up at this point to make it out alive. I guess Cage of Eden can have that kind of end, but he might be the final sacrifice to let them break out, if the author has it in him to do that.

Dunno what's up with the shadow thing though. He's obviously repented by now. Oh well.

It's really bumming me out how MGX is barely interesting anymore, when I stumbled upon it randomly years ago it quickly became one of my favorite comics. Now the art is way shittier and the plot is struggling to retain the charm it used to dole out in spades.

How did Riichi's art go from being so charming and distinct (not to mention the great composition on display)

To being so dull and lifeless? This is chapter 4 vs chapter 66.
Yikes, that's an incredibly severe drop-off in quality. What a shame. At least I can rest assured that the anime shouldn't make it that far.

At first I was gonna stay away from the animation because I was afraid it would end up generifying the style of the comic. But Riichi seems to be doing that by himself anyway, so I checked it out and they at least made a decent effort.

It'll be interesting to see where they take the relationship.

Yume Tsukai vol 1

Wasn't as crazy as you guys were making it out to be. There's still a somewhat coherent plot. It's just the designs get awesome and surreal whenever people go all fucked up mechanical Akira. Not enough to make me think the guy is insane like I do with Umezu thanks to Fourteen. Still interesting though.

I looked up the anime and it seems like I actually watched a few episodes a long time ago. It definitely wasn't anything like this though.

Unless there's outside intervention it shouldn't be the last arc because of those 2 dudes from the hot spring arc. And I didn't notice anywhere saying they're close to finishing Magico.

There's also Anise crying which could potentially go into a rescue arc.

This was . . . hard to read. Unless the second half twists things around it just seems there for the shock value only, more crass than anything else. (Although I do feel like a hypocrite for writing this after enjoying some of Furuya's other works.)

Having a blast re-reading this series, I know it will eventually go up in flames. But for now I'm really starting to remember why I loved this series Ueshiba Riichi made. Im totally gonna read Yume Tsukai after I finish this up.

Ran into this choice sequence from chapter 6, lost it.

Skyhigh 4

Well that was pretty typical Skyhigh. Why does the mangaka break this up into so many different series? Only the second one was any different and it's just getting confusing at this point, but at least it's not as confusing as...

Wandering Emanon '67

So this I think this series goes Memories of Emanon to Wandering Emanon '67 to Wandering Emanon season 1, but I'm not sure. Oh well I don't think the order you read them in is important. The main appeal here is images of Emanon smoking (which is what is happening in at least 50% of the panels and 100% of the pages).
