He'll just make a BS excuse for the sauce being able to tank Raikage.

Bakuman 134:
...You're right. I was just throwing out something crazy as a negative alternative but it would be really funny if something that crazy happened, despite how much I want PCP done with.
I keep forgetting you make the same posts I do about Bakuman every week but better. Now if only we could agree on One Piece...
Claymore 115:
Yeah but it'd be more believable IMO if Raki had some sort of power/hidden ability (which he might).

Sket Dance x Gintama & Gintama x Sket Dance
lttp I know, but still both of them were great, I remember when trying to sell someone Sket Dance I labelled it as Gintama in a school. But I never knew how much both series were interlinked with each other for that to be so close to true. O_O

Bakuman 134:
If this was any other manga and I was gambling I would bet every dollar on +Natural being a feint. But in Bakuman and especially after what they did with Nanamine...I just don't know anymore.
But I REALLY hope Eiji doesn't punk out. Eiji canceling PCP would be the greatest thing to happen in Bakuman of all time.

How is Bakuman? I'm planning to start that soon.
One Piece:
I think I'd fall under either like or love on your scale. I enjoy One Piece most of the time but I criticize it a lot too. But for example, I actually enjoyed the flashback and haven't been bored with the Fishman Island arc, which most people seem to hate outside of Jinbei crew member speculation.

Kreed said:
Oh, I'm the same way man. Well, I'm pretty sure if you listed most of your opinions on things about OP I'd agree. I'm inbetween liking and loving it. I don't 'hate' the Fishman Island arc, persay, but I wouldn't say its been greattttt.
But then again, I always, always reserve judgment on the beginning of an arc. I can't say what I think about it until either A) it's done or B) I can see an ending to the arc in sight. To be honest, I think it takes a while for mangaka to really hit home with where an arc (mini or full length) is going...and even though it feels like its been long, this arc has yet to get off the ground. With that said - I'm fine with how things are going right now. The flashback (I read it in one big chunk as opposed to week by week) was also well done, outside of its end.

I haven't read Claymore in about a year. Have they gotten off the island to fight dragons and shit yet?
Just read Even a Monkey Can Draw Manga. Bakuman is pretty bad.

It's never going to happen. Move along.
When it's good, it's a fun ride, when it's boring/bad...it's really meh. Sounds like every manga, I know, but with Bakuman you're in for lots of dips and rises. It's only 130something chapters in...but each chapter takes a long ass time too read -_-Crakatak187 said:

Holy shit I only have 32 posts in this thread. Manga must have ended already.
You know, I didn't see any Jojo, Fist of the North Star, Sanctuary or Lone Wolf and Cub at Fanime. This is why Japan has a negative birth rate, it's God's divine will.Angry Grimace said:

Things are finally shaping up to be interesting. Since Claire hasn't shown up I've been lonely and am anxiously awaiting her return. Raki seems to have leveled up quite a lot, i can only thing of how much more powerful Claire is going to be. (The whole monthly release seriously put's me out of it, claymore is about the only monthly release that i read {Vampire Knight has been going downhill}

I've liked everything post-time skip. I thought the flash back was slow in the beginning but the only thing I really don't like is the possible Jinbei crew member. He just seems to professional for the crew. I don't think we need another Robin.
Interesting. The official Rurouni Kenshin site did a poll a few weeks ago, asking fans who their favorite character was back when the show was airing in the late 90s versus who their favorite character is now. Unsurprisingly, Kenshin himself took the top spot for the TV show period, but for the modern results the winner was in fact Tomoe Yukishiro.
Which of course is a sign that they need to hurry up and animate the fucking Jinchuu arc already god damn it

Ugh... more stupidity. This series is getting worse again. Make it stop...
Birdy the Mighty II
Now even the Pentagon is after Birdy? It's going okay so far, but this could get harder for them for sure, couldn't it...
In the first chapter here, the game in progress ends. One of the other teams is in the lead now, but Hisa regained a bit of the ground she lost at least. Good chapter, all about the mahjong action. Hisa manages a last hit, but it's not nearly enough to make up the gap. Too bad, Hisa's awesome and her parts are always great. At least she ended on a decently good note.
82 is an in-between chapter. Nodoka's match is next, so we meet her opponents, and she says that it's not Hisa's fault she lost the lead, sometimes good players lose.
Also, Saki continued to be Saki, and in ch. 82 they managed to show the usual nopan shots for a full three of the four characters in this coming match. I'm guessing the chapter has more fanservice because the last few chapters didn't have it, since it was a mahjong match and during the matches that's what the show focuses on. One of the opponents (a loli one from the miko team) is pretty scantily clad, too... her tanlines are quite visible. Another one's not so nice, after Nodoka drops Etopen after being surprised by the other competitor, a girl wearing a giant pacific islander mask (yeah, eclectic cast here...), she kicks Etopen so hard he bounces off the ceiling of the room. I hope she does badly.
On that note, the shots of the girders above the room reminded me again that Saki has really good background art some of the time... pretty good stuff.

80? 80 isn't new, it was released last month. 81-82 are new though, just translated! It's been a while, it's great to see Saki chapters again. From your comments, I think you're talking about 81-82.Lain said:

It's usually not fair to compare Naruto to Sasuke in any context because Naruto never attempts to kill anyone.Infinite Justice said:

Sket Dance

I should have seen that one coming... There were so many hints dropped along the way. Bossun's backstory was a touching one.
Btw, can somebody tell me why all of the major online viewing sites seem to be missing 30+ chapters? They jump from 147 to 180

Well, in my reading, Bakuman is a surprisingly good series. Surely having a positive reaction to a good series is not weird, now if I had been saying that about Code Geass: Suzaku of the Counterattack or Neon Genesis Evangelion Angelic Days, then I could see how would think its weird.
Sket Dance
The main scanlation group doing Sket Dance (Trinity BAKumA) has only gotten up to chapter 148 in the series so far. However they decided to go ahead and scanlate chapter 180 because it is a cross over chapter with Gintama. Unfortunately Sket Dance (like Gintama) isn't that popular with English fans so scanlations are released much slower than series like Naruto and One Piece, so the scanlations are behind the Japanese releases.

Haha, the Kimi and Negima teams are now fiercely debating over whose series is better/more popular.
TWGOK > Both of Them.
TWGOK > Both of Them.
I followed the mt suggestion of the week and read Ashita no Ousama. It was good.
The world of acting is fascinating in its own right, yet it pulls me in even more when put into a manga story, despite a manga being unable to show to the reader the actual "acting".
The little twist in the concept that makes the main character story not about becoming an actress, but a scriptwriter/director made things even more interesting.
There is never real drama, as things usually resolve easily and quickly and the main character Sasaya Yuu is willful and headstrong but also clumsy, naive and a bit shy, making the experience flow by pretty easily.
The art style is also nice, although it reminded me of someone else, or better yet, a mix of different other authors.

Historically, Negima's been more popular for a longer period of time. I don't know though, it had a long period where basically nobody was scanning it regularly or with any skill, so that probably brought it down a lot.Ignis Fatuus said:
And Negima's was at one time really entertaining. Ragetown's always sucked, from Ch. 1-current.

The concept that the editor would actually cancel their No. 3 series over a 7 year old pointless bet is beyond even manga logic. Even beyond Tite Kubo logic.Griffith said:

The conversation ended with basically all the other teams telling Team Kimi that their series sucks, so yeah.Angry Grimace said:
As far as measuring popularity goes, the teams like to count the views and comments we get each week. Negima beat Kimi this week, hence the debate about whether Kimi has been bumped off number 2.

There's no point bringing it up again now if it won't come into play. This should be the catalyst for them to start their next series which will (hopefully) be the one to get an anime. I do agree though that the Chief actually agreeing to cancel the series is pretty ridiculous, and I seriously doubt it will be as simple as Eiji making the request and the Chief agreeing.Angry Grimace said:
This continued obsession of theirs to get an anime so they can keep a stupid childhood promise really holds the series back.

It's not a bet. It was an agreement. The editor said he would consider Eiji's offer if he managed to become number one. The editor doesn't seem like the kind of guy to go back on his word when it's within his power, so I don't think you can call it pointless. And PCP isn't that good of a manga. It's definitely not No. 3.Angry Grimace said:
There were issues with it right from the start, and lately those issues are actually becoming more relevant with the copycat. Add to that the rankings were down for a few weeks, and even though they've recovered, they're still falling behind to other authors with anime for their series. Plus, the duo themselves have been wanting to move on for awhile now, after they came to accept they'd never get an anime.
I think the chief also believes the boys can make a really good manga, the same way Hattori does. He's usually really insightful about the authors and the manga running, and how things need to play out for good results. He could see his agreement with Eiji as the perfect excuse to cancel PCP.
It's probably not something you'd ever see in real life, but it's not some logic crushing scenario either.

All caught up. Nice to see Miria alive. I picked an awesome time to start this with nearly all the claymores betraying the organization. Gonna make the wait that much more painful though.
Also, Raki is awesome now.
