Eyeshield 21 end

Final game ended up being kind of disappointing, was rushed and Sena never surpassed or really beat Panther. Ending on a draw was a huge middle finger to the fans and the final chapter didn't resolve anything.

That said I really did love ES21. The first 280ish chapters were ace, switch the christmas bowl game with the rematch against the knights and end the story there would have been perfect.

What a fabulous love master.

How could you not fall in love?

What's stupid is that Kishi is writing himself into a wall if he takes this route. He have to create something stupid for Naruto to make him beat Madara.

Basically, Kishi just overpowers Uchiha and make them die stupidly.

He'll do to Madara what he did to Obito: make one or more of his powers completely inaccessible (or conveniently forgotten) so that Naruto can beat him. Kishi had to take Obito's phasing ability away from him after he fused with the 10-tails so that Naruto and the gang beating doesn't seem like a massive stretch.

Black Bullet 12 - RIP

Black Bullet 14 - da fuck happened to 13? Anyway, cliffhangers, hooray.

Toriko 263 - A fitting end to Part 1. Also, Capture Level 6090? welp.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Toriko

Time-skip time? Time-skip time.
How long until we get a Capture Level that's "over 9000"? You just know it's going to happen.
 
Don't do it man, don't do it.

Well I was also reading jojo, shaman king, yotsuba, and rave master, but when my 3 a day fell apart it's just easier with my hour lunch breaks and too much anime/games to play to marathon one thing at a time. Last weeks rage was so violent and angry I have to understand why.

Isn't that an american only meme? In Japanese it was 8000 iirc

Kishimoto-sensei addressed curiosity on whether Madara can be defeated. He responded that while he did make him really strong, Madara has to be defeated somehow otherwise the story won’t be able to progress. He continued by saying that he has to figure out how to defeat Madara and that he’ll have to think it over with his editor.

I am in the firm belief that every little case will get us one step closer to figuring out what kind of setting we are actually in. Hell, even the one or two chapters that are basically nothing but teasing it are way too interesting for my own good.

Toriko

The second those numbers were brought up, I knew what we were in for, haha. But whew! That sure went crazy. This manga has no breaks.

There's no way they'll keep these silly thousands, is there? At least adopt a new metric. Geez.

I don't if i have to cry or to laugh... i mean, seriously? you really haven't put a backdoor all this time to Madara's power? You still don't know how you are going to kill him?
What the hell is this amateur hour?
Are we really surprised, after 60+ volumes of that thing?
 
After 3 months or so of catching up, I'm finally all caught up with JoJo.

this newest chapter was really interesting and made me like Norisuke a lot more, for a while there I thought he was going to be a villain or something. I think a couple chapters back the guy dressed in black said that "we have to make sure he doesn't get his memory back" or something along those lines, does that mean he's part of some group or organization that's after either Kira or the other half of Josuke? I'm very interested to see where this all goes.

It'll be like a Disgaea game where instead of using normal numbers, everything will be measured by a higher order of numbering like by thousands or by millions.

I guess I'm caught up now. The last hundred or so chapters were pretty reasonable, which is disappointing. It was a lot more enjoyable when the author's hatred of humanity was more apparent. Now it's just another shonen. I'm bored.
 
So inspired by the Zelda Joestar thread in Gaming I went to Wiki to check out JoJo's Bizarre Adventure...................and there is apparently about a million volumes already.

Is it hopeless to get started with the manga? Or should I just watch the recent anime series?

One-Punch Man is pretty good by the way. Love the art.

One-Punch Man is fantastic.

I literally just got up to date with JoJo and it took me about 3 months or so. The quality kinda differs from part to part but parts 2,4,6, and 7 are golden and part 8 looks like it'll end up being pretty fantastic as well. Part 4's last couple volumes have a notoriously bad translation and about half of part 5 has a really iffy translation but it's readable. The entire series is up on Batoto if you wanna dive in.

The anime is also really good and accurate to the manga and watching season 1 will knock out parts 1 and 2 for you and season 2 coming out in April is going to cover part 3.
 
Fairy Tail x The Seven Deadly Sins Christmas Special

So I guess it's having the mangaka draw a Christmas special based off on the other's series with some brief cameos from their own guys.

The Devil Beast Sunder Claws was probably the best thing out of the two.

Part 3 is the best for me . Guess I'm different .

Kishi will just have one of Madara's powers be unavailable to him at the most inopportune moment. That's what he did with Obito. There was no way Kishi could've written a plausible way to have Naruto and the alliance beat Obito if he had the ten tails' power and could still phase through attacks.
 
Nah i don't think there will be a time skip in Toriko...

Yu Yu Hakusho 1-19


Thank god it finally happened... after 19 boring chapters it finally happened, now let's start with the real deal.

You will enjoy the coming chapters. Manga of that generation for me. Over DBZ and Ruronin Kenshin.
 

That's... pretty amazing. I know it's kind of hard to plan out everything when you're doing a weekly series that can last a long-ass time or get cancelled on the fly, but you'd at least think the guy would have the arc and its conclusion in his head. Apparently Kishi is just stalling at this point.

He also said that he still has the same ending for the series in mind, so I guess this isn't the final arc.

That isn't shocking at all, we've known that for the better part of a year or two.

Jealous of the Glory that is Johnny Depp
Naruto:
Naruto without Kurama's power is weaker than Tenshihan's little clown. Doubt Kurama is gonna rip out of him like that.

One Piece:
Uneventful chapter except for that two page spread at the end.
but Usopp antics>>>you>>>>Naruto and Bleach

Bleach:
Didn't bother to read it.

Bloody Monday last season 1-36

Well i wish the ending was
Maya shooting them all dead.
it would have been perfect just like
War of money's ending.

I figured he was stretching it out because he legitimately thought it was effective build up or something, not that he had no plan at all.

I figured he had no way out of it, especially when he screwed up Neji's death. Kishi usually does deaths well so the fact he screwed it up screams that he had just thought of it as a way to move the plot. I'd be shocked if he had actually planned that one out at all, no build up to it or anything. It just happened.

Reading this from Volume 1 to 33 straight in two nights.

Unequaled artwork, incredibly impressive presentation. Although all of the philosophical mumbo-jumbo can be a bit heavy handed at times, and I do find it to be somewhat tiring.

Still though, the art... truly without equal.

Eh. Last death that I thought was legitimately great was jiraiya.
