Now that I look back, it was pretty unoriginal lol. However, I thought the plot was done a little differently than usual. Its just a feeling but second wave was the nail in the coffin for me. Dropped it a while back.

You probably enjoyed the Onizuka bits, then. Author was nearly straight liftin'.
Otherwise it was pretty bog-standard shounen "gotta git moar powahhh + im totally oblivious to the harem forming around me" stuff.

Is it strange that Sanji actually was one of my more liked Straw Hat characters, I mean I liked all of them. But Sanji was still really cool to me. Then the Timeskipped happen and made him almost unbearable at times.
 
soma 113

i wonder what dish he'll make. i hope he wins too.

soma 114

omg soma please win jesus

with that i should be caught up. the anime really piqued my interest in the series, i'm glad i wasn't disappointed.

What's wrong with sanji? only thing bad happened was that he was made fodder by doflamingo but to be fair, seems Doflamingo is proving himself to be one hell of a guy right now.

Mostly how his character evolved from a down to earth kind of guy that could act goofy around females and when cooking was involved to a spaz that acts like a complete moron around any female character ever. Mostly because the Joke runs thin pretty quickly, doesn't help that he really hasn't had a great fight since Enies Lobby.

Sanji was at his worst around the timeskip part. That joke got old fast.

...wasn't he always a complete moron around women? Sanji vs kalifa comes into mind.

get some go again
He was, but not to the extent that Post-Timeskip had him. He still was able to focus most of the time, and even if he wasn't he didn't have life threatening Nosebleeds.
i was fine with his gimmick until oda tried turning it into a real thing and almost had him die from it.

can you blame him though? he went through okama hell. not that there is anything wrong with okamas, but for sanji, it was his personal hell on the grand line.

Shokugeki no Souma 34 - Finished the training camp arc. I know everyone else hates her, but I like Nakiri and her cousin even at this early stage. But I have a thing for tsundere ojou-sama. Kind of wish Souma would get involved with either at some point.

To Love-Ru Darkness Vol 1-4

Ok.
Yeah.
This is very, very lewd.

Howcome the focus has shifted away from Lala and Sairenji and more toward Momo and Yami?

Lala and Sairenji being boring.

I think it might be related to squabbles between the mangaka and the publisher of the original series.

Lala's story is pretty much done at the end of the original series and Sairenji is based on Yabuki's ex-wife who was the reason the orginal To Love-Ru ended in the first place. Momo and Yami are both popular characters and were probably the easiest to form a story around.

Yeah that is totally not the reason in the first place or rather it was the reason in the begining, but everything is setteled with his ex-wife.

Also, latest chapter changes everything ;-)

Fuuka 57

Wasn't Yuu suppose to have an amazing voice?
Even if he's not pretty enough to be the lead there's no reason for him not to sing.

Also it's amusing that the "bad guy" proposed the solution that's going to happen for sure but everyone refused cause of reasons.

Fuuka in particular had no reason to not go along with it seeing as her band members have no intention of going pro, so Yuu was really just an ass to her by refusing on her steed due to some claim of higher moral ground that doesn't actually exist.

Not liking this new Fuuka so far, she's has a weak will if this last few chapters are anything to go by.

There is no reasonable limit to the re-reads you can do for a series like Suzuka or Good Ending.
Everyone should do it once a year for their own personal happiness and sanity. It's a fun group thera...activity!

Nah, seriously, I think I haven't even read KNIM yet, although I can't be certain since I never keep completed/on-going lists and might just have completely forgotten about it by now.

I read both within the last 12 months (KNIM as well too), so I'm fine so far!

You should do a one-man book read club on KNIM and report here as you go, or convince someone else to do so with you.

The (at the time) wife ran off with some other man.

Spirit Circle volume 1

This starts stronger then Sengoku Youko. It feels more on par with Lucifer in the way it grabbed me right off the bat.
The reincarnation stuff and how Futa's and Koko's destiny is so intertwined is pretty interesting. The past lives parts, on both sides, have some rather depressing stuffs to them, but it was nice to see how Futa is able to draw in friends now just as he did when he was Van.
Art is pretty nice too.
Overall it's the kind of manga follow up I wanted to read from Mizukami after Lucifer. More so than Sengoku Youko anyways.

Didnt think Arslan anime was that good, guess its the timeslot effect.

True winner is Seraph of the End effectively bumping assassination classroom out of the top 50. Definitely good anime begets good sales reconfirmed.
 
Toriko SPOILERS

Everyone got a pair of life in them

Speaking of Bleach, do we know if it's ending any time 'soon'? I recently watched the anime and skipped all filler and aside from the arrancar arc going on for faaaar too long, I surprisingly enjoyed it. I've heard good things about the final arc so I'm excited to finally see the story end in manga form, but I wanna wait until it's finished.

Keep going~

I'll finish it later this week, gotta take a short break. It's so emotionally exhausting!

by soon I would say around mid Fall (this year) to late winter (next year) at the earliest..... that is my estimation

They have been on this final battle/arc for a while now. It could end at anytime or take even longer.
 
Boku Girl

I am glad the mangaka took note that the new rich girl was boring and was disrupting the flow of the manga and decided to nix her for a bit.

things were getting too hijinx heavy and wacky with the crossdresser.
