Bleach 658

lol

One Piece 812

Sanji was royalty, think that much was obvious.

But holy shit did they really just get captured by dudes with pistols? Year of Sanji off to a great start by him getting captured by fucking Capone Bege.
 
Seitokai Yakuindomo 358

At this point, it just seems like they're drawing words from a hat and adding "play" to the end. Elephant lampost fellatio play? Sure, why not! Ripped underwear balcony asphyxiation play? I'm game!

None of these are things!

Don't tell me the frigging year of Sanji is an arc where he needs to be saved by his own wedding -__-
I need something where he's the main badass not the one who needs to be saved!
Please don't make me sad Oda!

I was wrong about this series :(.
Everything was solved with the power of friendship
and pouring 2 buckets of water over their heads.

Swagamoto Anime coming Spring 2016

My body is ready.

Awesome. I hope they get KyoAni, Madhouse or Bones on this.

Bleach
Oh hey awesome, the Vizards are actually do-- oh never mind, time for a popularity boost.

Toriko
Awesome. Battle Wolf living up to expectations (although I'm not a big fan of how its been drawn for some reason, seems kind of.. stiff?).

One Piece
I really like Oda bringing back guns as an effective weapon since the end of the war/second half. I like seeing more capable people using them and actually scoring wins.

I can't believe Nami/Chopper got captured immediately though. C'mon guys.

Well, there it is.
Now we can get on with that storyline.


Bleach 658

I constantly struggle with deciding what sucks more donkey balls, Bleach or Fairy Tail.
This week Bleach wins again.

That's even worse, to be honest. There's an implication that if the woman isn't beautiful, she isn't worth being motivated for. Ballroom e Youkoso isn't particularly exempt from the usual problem of making the heroine perfect and therefore a trophy for the men to fight over. If the heroine hadn't been beautiful and talented, would all these guys want to dance with her? The arc with the short sister (the one after which I dropped the manga) wanting to improve herself is less about the sister's love for dance and desire to improve herself than it is about her needing some sort of bloody verification in the male characters' eyes.

Men? They can be motivated by competition, rivalry, their passion for the sport, their desires to overcome their personal shortcomings...and women. Women? They can only ever be motivated by men. Ballroom has nice art, but it falls short when it comes to female characters, and in dancing, they're half the story.

Besides, the manga is nowhere near as entertaining as the real thing.

Isn't the whole point of Chinatsu's character arc about proving that she can be a good dancer/follower because that other girl says she can't be a follower. She's didn't exactly get into a pairing with Fujita because she liked him or anything.

Edit: Nvm I see you aren't even commenting having read the latest arc, which means you are making your complaint about the picture of Fujita wanting to be worthy of Chinatsu without any context (correct me if this is wrong)

Getting teary-eyed over a S&M--manga.
Life's wondrous.


Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatari 16

So, he just set himself up to not get any definite action until the end of the manga?
Way to go, dumbass.
 
Biorg Trinity 14

Funniest moment. The HosaFuji stuff will be the most interesting thing until the series end, who will win and who will lose. I just hope they never defuse. Stay together and just be with each other, Fumiho can move on.

StuCo president panel was my favorite, the clouds in the sky revealing the other Uranus (sp?) looked fantastic.
 
Haikyuu!! 189

Wait are we really getting Nekoma v Fukurodani in Tokyo. I hope he draws it for many months, their match would be so epic. Though a fukurodani win would prevent us from the battle of the trash dump that we want for the Nationals.

Anyway hyped for January Spring Interhights. MVP Tsukki will be better than ever, he and Hinata realize they both need to grow since they were still halted by Ushiwaka.
 
Why is Jitsu wa Watashi wa so good?

This is a serious question. I don't think a single other manga has the same comedic timing, characters or anything remotely like it. Like...there's just something about it that just works as if there's way more attention to small comedic details and an understanding of humor.

It's just unrealistically good.

The pervert pose-off between two completely unperverted characters as the time travel girl just looks on confused is...just hilarious.

Shiho showing up casually with Asahi's face just buried in her crotch is the fucking height of comedy
 
Yari-bu 1 - 4
A fantastic and kind of hilarious start to a BL manga with a new concept. A transfer student enrolls in an all boys school and must join a club. He joins the photography club which is more than meets the eye. I love the cast and the every looming threat of what happens if he doesnt have a relationship with someone by the deadline. Which he seems close if he gets with Yacchan I hope, otherwise. The art is nice, the relationships are pretty fun (and also emotional and heartwarming, the whole first time having a friend and going to a friends room and studying with friends thing).I cant wait for more. Too bad my fav character is not on the true route.

the time travel girl NOT attacking them with her modesty sword just adds onto the multi-layer aspect of this comedy manga
