Sket Dance is pretty good, but I stopped keeping up with it once I caught up with the translators (and they seemed to be exceedingly slow at publishing new chapters).

Bossun's "embarassed face" is probably one of the funniest things in the series.

If you like Gintama, it's pretty similar in tone and pace, except set in the modern day (and there aren't any aliens). Which, IIRC, makes sense because the creator previously worked on Gintama.
Yeah it's Gintama in high school really.

They even got that Gintoki Speech going sometimes. Although it's a little underwhelming when we're talking about high school drama compared to Gintama's plot points.

Naruto:

Kankurou is the captain of the Ambush Squad/Battalion. He introduces himself to Sai and Omoi. Sai greets him and wonders what nickname he should give him. Omoi wonders if someone as young as that should be a captain. There are also others.
Kakashi tells Gaara he's the regiment commander. Ao asks Shii if this is his first time in a war, and Shii says yes. Daru is the captain of the 1st Unit/Battalion. Tenten asks if he is their captain, and Chouza remarks that he seems pretty sluggish/listless (using a play on his name "darui", which means that)
Someone named Kitsuchi (yellow earth) is captain of the 2nd battalion/unit. Karui, Hinata (who says that she's nervous), and Kurotsuchi are part of it among others, and Kurotsuchi curses that it has to be her father who has to lead them.
3rd battalion has Hatake Kakashi as captain. Guy who's still collapsed is on his team. Lee asks if Gai is alright. Sakura asks what happened with him.
4th unit/battalion lead by Gaara, whose position is regiment commander and commanding officer. Has Chouji, Temari, and Shikamaru. They make some remarks (Chouji's is about food and Shikamaru is complaining about how much of a pain this is).
5th battalion/unit lead by Mifune. Has Kiba, Hana, Shino, and Ino and they make their remarks.

Kabuto: "First I have the Akatsuki (Itachi, Deidara, Sasori, Kakuzu, Nagato). Then the former jinchuuriki members. Then there's the 5 kages' once predecessors. The rest of them are skilled fighters who made a name for themselves" (Zabuza, Haku, Kimimaro, Asuma, Hanzou, Chiyo-baa, Gaara's aide, Neji's father).
Yamato was put to sleep by the Shodai wall/slime thing.
Madara: "Let's get this war started!"

What is this I... I...

Is Naruto ending?
 
Mirai nikki

OMFG!!

She's unstable as it is, and surely Yuki knows Yuno's unstable, her stalking went up a notch after chapter 5 for christs sake, why? Why did he say the stuff he's saying in chapter 6. WHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!

Edit: Oh no you di'int Tsubaki!! :O

Because he's dumb as hell?

For people who made sense of Mirai Nikki's plot (one of the downfalls of marathoning a series is it doesn't give you any time to reflect on stuff, or is that a good thing?):
Since Yuno did everything once already the first time but screwed up the double suicide, doesn't this imply that she already slept with Yukki once before?


Its possible but since some of the events happened a bit differently in the new world maybe it didn't go like that in the first one or they did something else

Or she just lied to keep with the illusion and Yuuki being the dumb-ass he is didn't realize shit while penetrating (hence grandjedi's comment now makes more sense :lol)

Eh, well. Judging by the stuff you're posting, I figure you're still towards the beginning. Like Gintama, most of the plots don't last beyond a handful of chapters (and most early ones wrap up in one), but it will also start building up its table of side characters that come back again and again.

Bigger plots generally take them outside of the school, and the "origin stories" for the four main characters (Bossun, Himeko, Switch, and Tsubaki) are quite dark and serious. Make sure to have a box of tissues handy during those arcs.

might as well end... I need something fresh to read
Well, I've been reading Manga long enough. I guess its about time I quit.

Sadly I think Bleach might be the last standing Manga I will be getting into. Here's praying this arc is better than the last.

my problem is I don't really have a good source to read online anymore I should have never stuck with only OneManga - I am so behind on all the ones I enjoyed reading.

Naruto I feel just needs to end because the plot will never go a direction I enjoy for long.

Seeing Naruto grow was what I wanted but they power him up making him a little cooler and he seems to be wiser and mature then all the sudden He is studying Animal Penis underground as his "S Rank" Mission and believing that shit

fuck off! end already

and yeah I'm still pissed about Hinata :lol
 
Early spoilers this week! Fuck yeah!

One Piece
Shit, SH being Roger's? That's a nice little addition there. I like it... Roger -> Shanks -> Luffy

Luffy is going to be god tier very soon. Also, I knew Kuma was a good dude. Good stuff.

As for the Cariboo brothers, fuck them. I would love to see Zoro or Sanji, but not both, facerape them. These guys are two years too late to compete and the SH crew trained for those two years. Luffy shouldn't have to fight these bums.

If these spoilers are real then this chapter could be even better than the last!
Bleach

I hope the ball gets rolling on this arc sooner rather than later. They're treating this like it's the first chapter or something.

Naruto

What...what is this shit? -____- This keeps getting worse, unfortunately :(
 
What the fuck at those Naruto spoilers? Why is Kabuto reviving a bunch of losers like Zabuza, Haku, Gaara's aide, and Asuma?

This is beyond stupid.
 
Natsuo's face when she gets excited on the prospect of doing bad things to her adversary is just... lovely.
Also after reading Teppu 10 I got off my ass and looked for the raws of the other 2 chapters (and for 11 there's a text translation so it's even better), I simply love the faces she makes in chapter 11. Natsuo is a complete sadist with a mean personality and I love her for that.
 
Mirai Nikki - 19

I'm loving how Yuki has no choice but to forcefully progress their relationship status, just to keep her in check. :lol

Naruto spoilers

On one hand it'd be nice to see the jinchuriki who all got killed off panel get some screen time. On the flip side this whole revive jutsu has been spammed horribly.

what is the point of bringing them back if they won't have the bijuu inside of them?
 
Hey apparently Psyren is ending soon.

12:32 AM Oct 31st www.movatwi.jp から toshi_nakada宛
It seems like one of Iwashiro-sensei's assistant (Kuroki Takafumi) wrote on his Twitter account that the manga he's currently working on as an assistant will be ending.

Big surprise!
 
It's nice seeing more people reading Mirai Nikki, yeah the manga by itself isn't that good, but Yuno is such an awesome crazy-yandere bitch that is worth by just that character.
 
Steroyd said:
I'm hoping the Bijuu itself isn't the only quality they have to them much like Gaara.
yeah but aren't there better dead ninjas to bring back? like that one guy who beat up the 3 senin? salamander something? what about kakashi's dad? wasn't he some bad ass mofo?
 
So, um, was it a good plan to just quit Naruto after the whole bridge and pillar and the six hundred billion explosive tags? Isn't it just too idiotic? I mean, ok, fine, these are all ninjas with control over the elements and whatever but the character ideologies are changing completely from one chapter to the next and popping in and out of existence without ever giving a shit about any of them in particular.

The whole revival thing is getting so fucking old at this point. Can Kishi really not create new characters or powers? We have to revive everyone who was already there and died? The whole world seems to have belonged to two or three clans. Eyes transplanting was ridiculous to start with but transplanted on arms is like jumping over a megashark by using your own piss as a boost. Furthermore, after all the hype about the uniqueness and power of the Sharingan now everyone has it, and everyone's is Mangekyo, and the whole copying justu and illusion part of it has been forgotten to be overshadowed by ridiculous powers of endless torture, space time manipulation and endless black fires. And we've had like 5 or 6 iterations of the first hokage, always in a form more ridiculous then the previous. To top it all off, the 'main character' has one move, spent time training in the most underwhelming elemental power possible, and after spending two or whatever years training under the only sage we've seen in the series he came back with no new moves except a bigger version of his previous move only to have his master killed and then learn the art from his master's master. Fucking idiotic.

/rant.

Good point. Kishi probably only wanted to bring back familiar faces or something of the sort :lol
 
Kishimoto must have been reading Bleach lately and thought that its sorry excuse of a "war" arc was the best idea ever. I mean look at all those months of boring battles with pointless characters that will all prove to be moot as nothing can really happen before the hero arrives late to save the day.
 
It'll be interesting to see how Kishi handles a war arc after seeing Oda's and Kubo's efforts. Hopefully it shouldn't be as bad as Bleach was.

It's looking like it'll be worse than Bleach.


Where's Sasuke?

Actually the spoiler says he's revived. He's the only character I'm glad to see revived. Kishimoto bringing back Kimimaro, Haku, Zabuza, etc is just stupid.

Also why the hell isn't Kabuto reviving Jiraiya?
 
Am I the only one that doesn't have a problem with the whole revival thing? That's kinda Kabuto's deal. Besides, anybody ever play a Capcom game? Gotta boss rush before the finale.

Unless characters were insanely hard last time round and now are just OHKO'd seconds after their introduction to show character improvement then it's just a sign that the writer running out of ideas. And if the newly revived character shows new powers which he didn't show in the fight that actually killed him then it's stupid. A long lost twin to every dead character makes more sense in my eyes.
 
I had no real problem with him reviving the Akatsuki. But now he's reviving characters like Kimimaro, Zabuza, Haku, etc who are complete trash to any important character these days. Which most likely means we're going to get fights with every minor character vs a zombie.

Can't wait for Tenten vs Haku.

I still think that may happen at some point, and Naruto will probably face him.

Don't quote me out of context.

Unless of course they keep training while they're dead. But that never happens. :S

YAY OP!
 
So Kabuto just happens to know all the characters of influence in the series that have died, and now plans to revive every single one of them for the final battle?

Retarded.
 
One Piece

OP out early this week we found out some info on what happen in past 2 years.
Franky changing his hair all the time :lol
It's also great that we get to see Luffy fight a logia user so soon .

That pic with Kuma in it looks awesome.
