TWGOK: 254

Okay, that reveal was pretty awesome. I absolutely did not see that coming. Almost makes Time Namek worth it!

Incidentally, this means Keima retroactively conquered
a teacher

Girly dude gets genderswapped by Loki. Yeah, it's a thing.
 
I'm not wasting an international call on that. And please, call me Alabastre... or Aizo. You may not have pretended to be my friend by reading Kimi no Iru Machi in order to suffer with me, and then stabbed me in the back, leaving me to die, like someone else in here... Cough
krev
cough. But I thought we were closer than that, Dakku.

You could always email them~ And c+p a whole word is a lot easier than c+p part of one.

Loki, god of Tricksters. There are worse reasons to get genderswapped.

They've only even shown like 3 of them and he beat 2 of them. Now he just has to conquer that dude that's voiced by Frieza.

Crazy enough, the english translation somehow convinced the anime to switch to its romanization too:

The reason I assume the official translation stuck with Erza is because Erza is the most popular character and was so before the official translation project started.

Akame ga Kiru! 43

Masochist girl being alive was obvious, but falling for Tatsumi? OT3 with her and Esdese is now set.

Susanoo, you were a bro and I will miss you dearly.

Raba being okay actually has me believing he'll survive the series.
 
TWGOK 254

This almost makes me want to reread the series to see if there was any foreshadowing in the interactions between NIkaido and Keima. If this was planned out, kudos to Wakaki.

I thought we all figured out Nikaido was Dokorou in the last chapter.

The Jump Int'l competition six finalists manga have been posted and voting is open. Only one USA entry :(
El Viento Del Norte
The art is solid but the story is as generic as you can get, some guy gal with eye hax travels around the world in search of his her father.

The Team Before Daybreak
Impressive art, simple yet poignant but the story seems like it got cut off in the middle for whatever reason, it didn't even reach the page count.

Boom
Nonsense story which I couldn't feel at all.

Morning Star
Art is not bad but the action scenes were difficult to follow, there was also barely a story to speak of and it ended up on a weird note to boost.

Golden Rabbit
Worst art out of the bunch and a story about playing tag, awesome.

Sweat Man
Gross premise, the art kinda sucked and the gags didn't really work.

Not a strong lineup by any means for sure, I'd give my vote for either El Viento Del Norte or The Team Before Daybreak.

Akame ga Kill 43 - RIP Susanoo. Again. But for real this time.

And, please, stop reminding me of Chelsea. It still hurts.

oh come on now :lol

well that was literally half a sentence concept made into a full one-shot

Golden Ra- y'know what whatever

Morning Star

This could get a whole lot better with an editor. Then again any decent concept and this kind of art could get good with an editor, so I don't know.

Boom

The art is pretty cool. Some fierce logical fallacies though, like MC basically throwing around gadgets and calling them bombs, or translating "disable by detonation" into "change the bomb into a firework and blow it up" (just disable it already :lol). But it's mindless fun, I like it.

The Team Before Daybreak

Did they... erase all the SFX and type it in? In Japanese? And then translate it to English next to it instead of just erasing it again? My head hurts.
It was good.. I think? Not really interesting.

El Viento Del Norte

Couldn't help but imagine her with the voice of Ryuko. It wasn't bad, that's about it.


I'm surprised that this is all they got out of the contest.. I doubt that among those other 1400, nothing was better than Sweat Man or Golden Rabbit. They should have chosen 12 or even 20 and do a multi-layer voting.

I've only just come back to this thread again today. I haven't read it in like 4-5 months.

Who are you counting here? The emotionless devil loli? Dokucaido's unerclassmen? She didn't count as a proper teacher!
 
Eyeshield 21 ~304

Ehh never really felt this match, for all the hype the Christmas Bowl felt really rushed and turned into unbelievable god like play after god like play. It was still enjoyable but a step back from the dino game which itself was a step back from the knights game.

Also this game had a lot of odd moments, why bother introducing a female qb and doing almost nothing with her. Why hype up hercules when Kiruta just stomped him the whole game. Why would a team with so many aces have a rb play offense and defense? I get for the smaller teams but with 211 players on the roster they should have had a full defense and offense.

I know, brah, I know how it feels. By far the most disappointing/boring segment of the entire series. :'(

Assassination Classroom: That was fucking brutal. Wow.

Jun totally counts, that was like the point of the arc - Keima complained that that teacher routes are too hard.

Is Nikaido going to treat Keima like he's an idiot still? I mean, she had good reason prior to when he got into the contract with Elsie because he pretty much was an obnoxious shitlord. I'm not really sure where this whole series is going, and hell, I don't even really remember why they went to the past in the first place, or why Dokoro/Nikaido is a human now.
 
There is potential in the competition oneshots. But it is anundantly clear why there are Jump editors. There isn't a transcendentl talent in the bunch though that has such a vision that would outdo an editor.

Tatsumi will be the one to go, you'll see. Will die together with his True Waifu Esedese.
Why you pining for that tragic end man?

And perish like Chelsea

As long as Kurome lives they are definitely gonna keep bringing it up OTL
Cat woman didn't die again in Akame. Avoiding that death flag like a pro.

Waifus were saved, Tatsumi's harem remains.

Sweat Man

Not that great. I didn't care for the art. Seems like the type of thing that would get canned by Jump pretty fast.

Golden Rabbit

Meh.

Morning Star

For an action oneshot this was pretty dull. The art wasn't awful.

Boom

I didn't like the art. The story was fairly generic but it was better than the first 3.

The Team Before Daybreak

This worked well as a oneshot. The art was decent and I enjoyed reading it.

El Viento Del Norte

I like the art and I would read this if it was a full series. This was my favourite of the lot.

I kind of wish I found an artist to run with my idea. Would have been way better than what I just read.

Genuinely curious, what was your idea?

EDIT: I read Morning Star (good art, pretty cool, but it wasn't really interesting) and Golden Rabbit (pretty bad..like really pretty bad)

It was a about a guy who wakes up with a different Super Power roughly once a week.

The one shot would have been about him meeting a guy with a hyper-active imagination to help him make the most of each power in the short time they're around. I should have put together a script and posted it somewhere.

Retcon: I read Sweat Man and Golden Rabbit. Both managed to put me off within 10 pages.

I'm not really sure where this whole series is going, and hell, I don't even really remember why they went to the past in the first place, or why Dokoro/Nikaido is a human now.

Because apparently something happened to where Keima had to go back in time to re-correct the timeline or something. I don't think the author knows either.

And Nikaido apparently has a body both in Hell and in the human world, and the one in Hell was killed or something. I have no idea what is going on.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
These aliens are freaking me out maaaaaaaaaaaan
 
Sweat Man

Page 8 and I quit.

Golden Rabbit

Well that wasn't a bad one shot. I liked it in the end.

Morning Star

Wasn't too impressed.

BOOM

Uh, it was ok I guess.

The Team Before Daybreak

Better than expected. I guess my expectations were low enough to like this at the end, lol.

El Viento Del Norte

Swords > Guns. Wasn't bad again.

It's kinda obvious they just couldn't complete The Team Before Daybreak in time, and decided to wing it in 4 pages after completing half of it. Considering there were over a thousand entries and this was chosen, pretty weird.

El Viento Del Norte was my favourite but I think The Team Before Daybreak worked the best as a oneshot. The others all seemed like they were trying to be the beginning of a series.
