thats the purpose of this war I think. To give everyone their moment to shine. Or suck a fat one.

Yeah, and I'm hoping that we get that for most of the characters. I mean, if even Izumo and Kotetsu are getting their chance, I have to imagine we'll see everyone from Naruto's generation get to show off to some extent.

Kishimoto really dropped the ball by not having some more villains in Part 2. Team 7 and 8 trying to track down Sasuke would have been a great opportunity to give Hinata, Kiba, Shino and Sai some fights, but instead we just got them wandering around for awhile before having a skirmish with Tobi.

How long is Hunter x Hunter going to be back this time if the rumors are true? Bets? I'm gonna say 3 months.

Is there a new rumor about it? The last one I remember was that rumor from a few weeks ago that was confirmed as being fake.

Too fucking late for that imo. Not to mention if what we've seen so far is what's to come...I have no hopes. I mean, I didn't even read that Sai battle. Not that Sai was important.

This war doesn't seem like a good platform to showcase good character development. We throw a character into a fight and why do I even care at this point...

 

[Steroyd]

The payoff is going to be great, though. I have a feeling that Chouji will come out of this looking amazing when all is said and done.

If a timeskip, seeing his dad die before his eyes and seeing his teacher die, didn't make him man up by now then that payoff has been long overdue.

Mangalogic.

The same mangalogic that states zombies are susceptable to a paralysing ailment. :|

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

So apparently we'll probably be getting Beelzebub tomorrow but not Bakuman. Mixed news there.

It was moments like these that made me really love the series. Im glad she still finds ways to manage to get them to interact in all their silly ways, especially Lambo and Gokudera!

oh and well, since its friday...

Wow that is pretty awesome for people like me! Now I dont have to slave away an hour trying to understand and imagine what would happen in the future in One Piece. Bookmarking that site now!

 

[Stat Flow]

Thanks for the link, once in a blue moon I need it for a one piece chapter to clear things up. Seems interesting.

 

[VGChampion]

He got cards man!

I haven't watched Naruto since the time skip and haven't read it in awhile but I miss those days. Maybe I'll go back and re-read pre-skip Naruto.

 

[levious]

You see, he went around collecting all these bodies (most of which should have been burned btw) and their weapons, that were scattered all around the world, and also restored missing body parts. Oh, and he did all the research to find out everyone's back history and relation to each corpse... He's been workin'!

I think they said they only needed a dna sample for the resurrection.

It's always just for one volume.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Did I miss something? HxH actually returning? Or is it some rumor that's made up again?

 

[Crash Station]

Abstraction

The best thing ever.

Speaking of Kago Shintaro

Drunkard Condo Syndrome

Hilarious. Not quite the acid trip of Abstraction, but still deliciously absurdist. I want to meet the guy that comes up with shit like this.

 

[upandaway]

Toriko

I'm guessing the Cola is the tears of that monster, and they were bullying it in order to get more. Also, I got a laugh out of the calorie calculations, but I'll make do with that for now.

 

[Popstar]

Toriko

Nice to see Komatsu being a bit badass. Sorta.

I had to keep reminding myself when reading though that the calories you normally count (ie: this Snapple has 170 calories) are actually kilocalories. Not that the numbers still aren't crazy.

 

[upandaway]

Did I miss something? HxH actually returning? Or is it some rumor that's made up again?

As far as I understand they were probably confusing the fake from about a month ago. I'm not seeing anything new.

 

[Griffith]

Toriko

It's good to see Komatsu go on the attack for once. He'll have to get stronger if he wants to go into the Gourmet World with Toriko.

Hopefully we learn more about the bird creatures since it looks like they lived there in the past.

 

[octopusman]

Toriko
I don't know how to feel about this new calories angle, is this going to be a 'power level' type thing?

 

[upandaway]

Toriko

Or, the robots are there right now.

Toriko

It's more of a survival mechanic than a power level one I guess. Thankfully Toriko can't just scream and gain 300 million calories.

 

[Griffith]

I'm talking about the drawing on the wall.

 

[Solune]

Caught up to this and it really feels like a mixed bag, at times its above average and other times it has an identity crisis. It doesn't help that the names during early scanlation while consistent, are not accurate.
Side note: Damn chapter 39.

 

[Articalys]

Well.
Of all the classic manga series to get a reprinting, I bet no one would have seen it happening to Sailor Moon.

Kodansha USA Publishing announced on Friday that its Kodansha Comics imprint will publish Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon magical girl manga and its two-volume prequel Codename: Sailor V starting this September. The former has been condensed into 12 bi-monthly "deluxe-edition" volumes (from its original 18), and two more volumes of short stories have been added.

The new edition — with "new cover art, retouched interior art and dialogue along with extensive bonus material from Takeuchi" — is based on the 2003 Japanese re-release of the manga.

It would be crazy, though ridiculously unlikely, if this led to a re-licensing of the anime.

Apparently manga news doesn't belong in the manga thread?

I thought, was it Funimation, that was working on getting the anime relicensed? I feel like it came up in their surveys consistently or something.

 

[Lain]

Doesn't surprises me in the least. We got the same thing some months ago and it's a damn good product, although the manga itself has some problems.

 

[Kreed]

Toriko 134:

I just considered the calories as another random "world of Toriko" fact that's just for comedic shock value.

It's more of a survival mechanic than a power level one I guess. Thankfully Toriko can't just scream and gain 300 million calories.

I wouldn't be surprised if Zebra can do that.

 

[upandaway]

I'm talking about the drawing on the wall.

I didn't even realize they looked similar. Whoops.

If those things are civilized, well damn. Imagine whole villages of that shit outside the Human World.

Manga recommendation time:

Tsumi to Batsu

Taking inspiration from the Russian classic Crime and Punishment and then placing the behemoth of a book into a modern metropolis, Ochiai Naoyuki retells Dostoevsky's drama from the eyes of a struggling Japanese writer. In the 2006 remake Crime and Punishment ~A Falsified Romance~ Ochiai's lead is an incredible talent with award winning abilities. Tachi recently placed as the Best New Writer in a major literary competition, but the stress of living up to his family's goals of him becoming a powerful man has broken him on the cusp of greatness. He dropped out of college. However after moving to Tokyo he struggles with his identity and the duality of life in this surreal megalopolis. Despite being recognized for his tremendous potential, success does not come quite as easy, and life is a constant struggle. For Tachi Miroku life is nothing but a battle, with his past and his moral fiber. He hasn't been to work in four months and his dreams are a total mess filled with abuse, taunting, and the strong smell of blood. Tachi is alone and without direction in life right now. You could say he is a hikkikomori but that is only where his troubles start.

Just read volume 3 (thanks to my friend, Viz) and loved every page of this psychological thriller. Wish there was more like it.

Yeah those were the days. I wonder if it holds up as well if I were to rewatch it... Sasuke and Naruto's battle at the end still gives me chills tho, so well animated!

[Steroyd]

Naruto could use this.

Wouldn't that just exacerbate the nonsense?

Besides Naruto is too simple to understand the world used to work X way but now it works Z.

Aw, I hoped for a second it was something based on the video game. Sounds interesting nonetheless.

Hmm I wonder if the name Sin and Punishment was a mistranslation and the game actually supposed to be named after Crime and Punishment.

No. I'm too dumb to read books.

Alright bitches, I hope you appreciate it after all the trouble I went through to make it happen...

Steel Ball Run 71 is out.

No. I'm too dumb to read books.

Oh well, I'm sure the manga is much more interesting when you don't know exactly what is going to happen. The manga is actually what convinced me to finish the book.

Aawesome.

At this point I'm only following along to learn why Rin is trolling Haruto so badly. You don't just make someone's like a living hell like that without a reason.

Toriko
Holly crap at the calorie levels. It amuses me how much they overreact in Toriko.
Komatsu's intimidation form was the monster from wich the single claw (the strongest animal claw) was used to create his knife.

Soul Eater
Great chapter. Soul and Maka have gotten powered up.

Spoiler

Sound attacks fits Soul perfectly

Seriously Medusa is one of the best villain of all time.

Gintama

The actor parodies really got me cracking up. They played on it beautifully.

Weekly?!

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

That was the plan. I'm seriously thinking of canceling the whole thing after seeing the morons on 4chan. Keep in mind that the only thing we did on this chapter was clean.

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

Hmm I wonder if the name Sin and Punishment was a mistranslation and the game actually supposed to be named after Crime and Punishment.

Yes, it was. I'm pretty sure the developers have mentioned that that book is where they got the name for the name.

Argh whatever. They're just acting silly. It's a psychological thing, they'd be fine if they knew it was just the cleaning.


Oh and by the way:

this killed me. best moment of the pool

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Argh whatever. They're just acting silly. It's a psychological thing, they'd be fine if they knew it was just the cleaning.

I get the distinct impression that we're not welcome on the series and that I'd be wasting a lot of time and effort on something which will get more hate than appreciation. Better to cut losses now and follow the wishes of the fanbase.

So true, Asuka is wasted on him. Let's hope trolling Rin gets them to break up soon enough!

Could've gotten it out yesterday if not for the proofreading department dropping the ball.

Bakuman is translated but we don't have cleanable raws yet so who knows how long that will take.
