Had hope she'd look a little more involved then that, especially after Madam Shirley. But Oda whipped out the ol' Nami template on us, on top of being another giant. ~sigh
 
At least it kills any nakama ideas

I was hoping she would be more rabid though...Damnit Oda! Wander if she will fall for Luffy as well...Im hoping Franky instead if anyone haha
 
Yes, this very much reminds of the Hancock scene...I have a feeling they will end up kidnapping the princess (actually she will want to escape her confines) and get painted as massive criminals (again), on top of all other crimes they have been at hehe
 
Luffy is such an accidental pimp.

I'm still hoping for either a complete reverse scenario (she starts out friendly towards Luffy but after some misunderstanding(s) turns on "bitch mode" and chews them all out just for the ironic parallel to the AL arc) or something silly involving Sanji. :lol
 
great one piece.. i like that seahorse advisor. And swamp man is cool, but how does that mermaid breathe?

Anyway, I hope they bring that Sunny Go paper model to a US shonen jump! I would buy it in a second.
 
So I've actually read more manga in the past week than I've read in the previous 24 years of my life. The overwhelming majority of it was awful and swiftly dropped, but there were a couple of series that kept my attention. Other than Franken Fran and Rabbit Doubt which I've mentioned before, kudos to Animal Sense for being good and Ayu Mayu for having a semi-interesting premise.

Also Tenbin wa Hana to Asobu deserves a mention for getting on the small list of ongoing series I'm actually going to keep an eye on. Because Marimite with blood-drinking.

Ha ha, yeah... but I'm still enjoying it (though there was more to it than Luffy bumbling into another problem, and someone framing the Straws).

Started reading PeePo Choo...
I was really surprised the art is from a foreigner, Felipe Smith, who lives in Japan. Normally, I never read manga from non-Japanese natives (I'm soooorrrry), Ninja High School was teh last... but the story and art are really great. To be honest, I wouldn't be able to tell if not for his name being on the cover. It's pretty over the top, and it's a hilarious look at Otaku, culture clash, and urban lifestyles.


Now if only I could find a new place online to read Deadman Wonderland.
 
lol, Luffy playing with the mermaid princess' titties.

I was so sure Oda was going to pull a fast one on us and depict the mermaid princess as fat and ugly, to serve as a nice swerve to all the "she's beautiful!" talk.
 
*sigh*...I'm not really excited about the FI arc so far. Oda should have used the fortune teller's design for the mermaid princess.

while that would have been interesting, its expected since Hancock is normally compared with her in beauty and i can't see someone placing them in the same light (if she was fat and ugly).


should be interesting, sanji this and will luffy get another beautiful woman to admire him.
 
One Piece

Fuck yeah, more Caribou.

Loved the palace spread and the design of the seahorse merman. Franky searching for Tom's relatives is a nice touch.
 
A Town Where You Rage 121

Oh no not Yuzuki again. I really hope Haruto doesn't do something stupid with her and ruin his relationship with Asuka, who is easily the best girl in the whole series. You know he will though since he is an idiot.

It's really like a supercharged version of what happened at Water 7 minus government officials (CP9). When shit goes down this time,I wouldn't be surprised if the SHs are given a semi-permanent "do not return" until sometime waaaay later in the manga when the folks of Fishman Island realize that it really wasn't like that for them and invite them back or allow them to pass through freely. :P
 
Bleach - This arc kinda sucks. It feels like an anime filler arc, except in manga form.

One Piece - Finally a [somewhat] new looking woman design that looks good.

As if the dozens of mermaids shown in the previous chapters wasn't enough...

Geez, the latest Bleach chapter was giving me JJBA/HxH vibes with the power the girl had. The fact that it had specific conditions and whatnot
 
I'm enjoying the new arc of Bleach. If I were writing it though I would have killed Ichigo off and made him become a shinigami again in Soul Society.

Haruto/Asuka will breakup. I can already see it coming in the upcoming months ahead. Thinking any differently will only make the inevitable rage that much more intense.

Ehhh how about no. The princess is supposed to be beautiful not fugly
 
Bleach

"My Fullbring is Dollhouse"

Hmm, just replace the word Fullbring with "Stand" then turn Dollhouse into a Major Arcana Tarot Card, an Egyptian God, or an American rock band.

idk, Madam Shirely's design is instantly more appealing and rememberable than the princess. Oda really only excels with his females, when they're dumpy old hags he can just have fun drawing.
 
Defense Devil

All caught up. Glad they went back to the lawyer thing even if it's just briefly. I like this Hell arc as well though. Definitely a solid battle shounen. Will continue to follow it.

not much just naruto and kenshin
 
Naruto

1. Not a terrible chapter...probably because of Shikamaru's dad and Gaara exclusively.

2. Raikage: No wonder the leaf is so hard to take down...! Wow!

3. And is the end...alluding to a return of THE...

You could try Yu Yu Hakusho or Hunter x Hunter (both by the same author). One Piece is also the default recommendation but it takes a while to get going.

What do you like about those 2 series? The fights? If so, there's a ton to recommend since it's a humongous genre.
 
Naruto

This chapter actually made the war feel like a war. We see strategy being devised and used, the Kages who are actually strong and worthy foes are introduced, and the chapter ended with battles beginning on multiple fronts. I also really like the Kage designs; especially Muu.
 
Naruto
I thought this chapter was pretty decent. It had a bit too much talking, but it explained quite a few things. For example, that the Kages are actually in charge of the battle, which makes Gaara's role much more understandable.

IWR is still broken as fuck. Kind of brakes the Naruto-verse.
 
Naruto

Good chapter. The war is starting to pick up and it's going to be interesting seeing all these kages in action.

Bleach

I think I'm done with Bleach.
