Still can't get over the fact CHAINSAW MAN ends this Sunday.
Yeeeaaahhhh... I gotta enjoyed this so through and through. Denji as a protag was unique and interesting and honestly one of the more memorable shonen protags I've seen. But apparently this is part 1 of the story??? I don't know if this will continue or not but if it doesn't then this was a good way to end it.

Watched Gantz:0 on Netflix. Honestly it was kind of middling and even I was lost in some parts. I couldn't imagine someone who never even seen Gantz watching and understanding what happens in this movie. A lot of things happened in this that didn't happen in the manga. Everything about this meh. CG looks good but it felt like I was a cutscene in a game. I was ready pick up my controller during this, lol. (iirc this series has a game as well) The only thing I can say that good about this movie is that it makes me want to pick up and read the manga again. That manga is the tops for sure.

Glad to hear Chainsawman will continue.
It has been the best thing on jump since like...I don't know...Hunter X Hunter or something

Anyone watching Danmachi this season? It is S-tier stuff, this arc is amazing.
I am. (was) I stopped watching it after ep 4 I believe. Everything was just too predictable and trope like BUT I'll prob watch in before Christmas.

Also "The Day I Became a God", is literally becoming Charlotte tier and it was also extremely predictable. SHAME. Because (again just like Charlotte) the first eps were actually decent.

It is, but it gets so much better as the season goes on....


Well, umm, yeah. I have probs with The Day I Became a God and I'm a Key stan...... I mean, how many times can you come up with a potentally good plot, but not be able to pace it or tell the story within a set # of episodes?

I'm still waiting for Charlotte Season 2 with a full 12 episodes of Yuu traveling aroubd the world stealing powers from everyone while sending letter back home to Nao while his mind & spirit break. Then re-air episode 13.

That would make it an incredible show.....
 
I'm reading Edens Zero and UQ Holder and they are too good to be true.

I'm also reading - and liking - Usagi Drop. Let's see when things will change (someone spoiled the end for me).

Yeah, it was a weird turn of events.
Also, that "oh you're not actually blood related" right at the end.
Tries to make an incest romance but can't even follow through with it. COWARD

How can grooming be considered romance?

You mean the Rave Master guy.

His new manga looks exactly like FT and it even has the same mascot though.
 
Ok, that's fine. I just haven't heard anything good about it and it's by the Fairy Tail guy.
Weird. All the talk that I'm reading is that people are really liking Edens Zero.


If the separated chapters would form a volume in Kindle, I would be buying the chapters in simulpub, but I don't want all the files scattered in my Kindle. -_-



it even has the same mascot though.
But Fairy Tail also had characters from Rave.

I'm ok with sharing characters across worlds/series if they are directly related.

The second part was all one big lead up to "you don't have anyone but me so let's become a couple daddy!".
Wasn't there a would-be romance with that childhood friend for quite a while though? And a would-be romance bewteen uncle and that childhood friend's mother?
Then out of nowhere she decided she actually loved her step daddy

He was friendzoned before anything else though. I think?
He's on my to-read list. Don't tell me I'm gonna regret it.
Impossible. I told you about him many times before. Melancholia is something everyone that enjoys manga needs to read before they die. To date only Suicide Parabellum has been a disappointment.
 
Like literal copies with the same name? I never got into FT (plot), but that seems lazy.
A lot of writers do this. I don't think this is lazy.

Might've been review bombed by people who were disappointed with its samey-ness.

Again, don't mean to take away from your enjoyment.
The biggest surprise here is that MAL still exists. I abandoned it in 2005 and at the time, there was no way to delete an account.

But this means nothing. Here in my country the series is very well rated (and it seems in France too).
I mean, makes sense that north-american people gave the worst scores, since that US of A got the worst localization.

But I do not read reviews of people that I do not know. And I do not care about these ratings either. I used too, in the good old times of ANN, when Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou had the biggest rating. And then people started giving 9s and 10s for Death Note (lol).

Edens Zero has simulpub in 5 different countries. This is success, not a number in a north-american site. It is absurd to you to think that this would "take away" my enjoyment. o_O

It's very grey and cold over here so I think I'll start (and probably finish) Yuukoku no Moriarty (Moriarty the Patriot) today. Any objections?

I've been meaning to read it ever since Production IG announced they were producing the anime and yet never quite got round to it. I don't dig Hikaru Miyoshi's art that much.

A little bit more about Kirby.



Posted Nov. 30th 2020 by Casey Morrow on his Facebook profile (profile linked in heavy.com article):
I have crafted these first lines a million times in my head and just as many times started keying them in and the sadness followed by the anger always convinced me to stop.
We all want answers and to find some explanation, some closure some sense in the senselessness of all this. The coroner tells us that Kirby died from a long history of substance abuse. And his body finally could not keep up.


The the best I can gather is while he did not commit suicide the effects of his mental health and addiction lead to his body giving out.

In Minagoroshi-hen and now in Gou(Watadamashi-hen) he gave the doll to Mion, avoiding Shion going L5.
I actually cringed internally at the last 2 episodes. Child abuse is evil but I still cringed when she broke down in class.

On a huge Cyberpunk bend now, for obvious reasons, so I decided to rewatch what I consider the peak of Gen Urobuchi's career after Madoka... Psycho Pass.



Man, maybe it's because I was living in Asia at the time, but the 2013 season was absolutely amazing. Kill la Kill, Psycho Pass, Golden Time, Nagi no Asu Kara...
