Has anyone read The Sacred Blacksmith? I watched the anime on Netflix and I really liked it but it was very short and doesn't really explore much of the universe or plot. Is the manga any good?

I haven't read the manga version either. But heard it goes into grimdark territory with Cecily being

I read it. Don't waste your time.

 

[pieatorium]

Why am I not surprised. It was obvious from the end of the previous chapter though.
IMO the series was doing fine right up until the three new Fates showed up and Negi got a fucking deus ex machina revival to deal with them all by himself. Suddenly all the drama from him being half-dead went straight out the window.

I dropped it around there, there were big problems with the whole arc before that imo but the way the chicks teamed up to drop fate while Negi was down was set to redeem the arc for me. It was a big finnish to alot of shit that had been going on previously with them trying to not have him do everything himself, rely on your friends yada yada all that shit, and then he maks the whole thing pointless immediately with the new fates and Negi ressing.

Just got caught up on TWGOK...reading a few chapters is GREAT stuff, I enjoyed the last 4 chapters I just read thoroughly. :lol :lol :lol

TWGOK 153: B+

"So this is the power of a sick visit event!"Keima you glorious bastard.

Ayumi is alright. I don't mind this. I surprisingly found that dude (the one that's Nora's buddy/watchman) pretty funny.

Manga-GAF loves their Tsunderes? Heh, I find them annoying for the most part. Actually, I unfortunately find most females in manga annoying >_>

 

[SolarKnight]

TWGOK:

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

That said watching him callously manipulate Ayumi like that is a little sad to see.

I agree, I feel kinda bad for all of the girls with a godess

TWGOK

Yay Ayumi. The reconquest is going along nicely. Also, Nora‘s partner needs to appear more often.

You should feel bad for the girl who doesn't have a Goddess.

ie. Chihiro.

 

[Scum]

Thanks very much to the person who recommended Until Death Do Us Part. Up to Ch. 37 and it's damn fine going, so far.

 

[SolarKnight]

ie. Chihiro.

Oh, her the most of course. Unless the current event goes SO well that the godess appears and there's no need to involve Chihiro again that is.

Although, personally, I kinda always wanted for things to not be as predictable and have Chihiro end up with the godess, and it turns out that Ayumi had always had some feelings for Keima which is why she looked like a good candidate.

The manga is better than the anime, but still certainly not good.

I read it. Don't waste your time.

It is bad, sure, but not worse than the anime...

One Piece Spoilers

Chapter 635: So disgusting, it flies

cover: Wapol is certified as a world noble. Creation of the Evil Black Drum Kingdom.

Zeo's still saying something, but Straw Hats continue to ignore him.
Zoro complains to Luffy that he took out too many.
Sanji is getting competitive with him, and says "I'm gonna take out 30,000, Marimo!"
Hody aims his uchimizu (water shot) at Shirahoshi, but Jinbe blocks it away with his uchimizu.
He says Hody's a rookie at Fishman Karate.

Jinbe's current bounty is 400,000,000!!!

They continue to go after Shirahoshi, but Brook uses his new attack to stop them.
(Using music to mesmerize the opponent, and slice him before he even notices)
Zoro also uses his new move, Kuronami - Ootatsumaki (Oda may use pun-names, can't tell without the raw. "Black Rope - Big Hurricane")
It's a tornado of iron-cutting slashes traveling through and cutting everything in its way.
Sanji uses his new move as well. Sky Walk (just like Geppo) and Beau-art a Frire? (I don't know French.sorry)
Robin's new move creates a giant foot to step on the opponents
Sunny Soldier Dock System 4 is a Black Rhino motorcycle.
5 is Brachiosaurus tank. Luffy loves it. Chopper is so moved, he's crying. Commander Chopper, at your service sir!
Hody summons the kraken and orders him to attack, but Luffy says "we're friends right?", then hops on the kraken to ride him, and wreck more havoc
Hody is piiiiiissed.

End of chapter

so he's back to being a weak-ass bitch? expected but somewhat disappointing tbh

 

[nelsonroyale]

hmmmm, 400 million for Jimbei? I still think he is going to join

 

[Stat Flow]

Luffy trolls Hody. SH's are just dicking around. Lol. FI arc should have been like 15 chapters total.

 

[spiderman123]

Holy shit I want to see Zoro SOOOO BAD. BEST OP character ever.

 

[TacticalFox88]

hmmmm, 400 million for Jimbei? I still think he is going to join

I think the Straw Hates have enough crew members as is. They're pretty fucking powerful

 

[spiderman123]

I think the Straw Hates have enough crew members as is. They're pretty fucking powerful

Nah, I think they will get at least 2 or 3 new members while in the new world. Jimbei, a giant and someone else.

 

[Stat Flow]

I'm pretty sure Luffy is only going to allow one more crew member. And at the same time will not be Pirate King without that last crew member.

 

[E-Mercenary]

So cool Walpol is a world noble. Can't wait to see them fight him again.

[nelsonroyale]

nagato was the only badass villain besides orochomaru...a pity he is used so cheaply here

 

[Stat Flow]

Jesus Christ hahahahahaha. Nirvana? What the hell?

In other words, he got Talk No Jutsu'd and fell into a pile of ash like every other ET fodder.

What do you call it when you get Talk No Jutsu'd...after you've already been Talk No Jutsu'd. Nagato can't get enough.

nagato was the only badass villain besides orochomaru

No badass villain brings back a village he took time to destroy.

It's not certain

Ahahahahahahahahahaha. Oh Oda, you troll.
T just replied, and he has no clue either, because the original sentence wasn't written clearly to begin with.
とある財閥の会長。世界貴族認定　悪ブラックドラム王国建国
"Certain zaibatsu (financial plutocracy) chairman. Appointed as (by) World Nobles. Evil Black Drum Kingdom is built"
It could be read either way, that he was appointed to be a world noble, or appointed BY them. So T doesn't have an idea which way it means either, even after seeing the pic.
Oh boy. This is gonna be another one of those annoying mysterious plot for years to come.
My money's on archanfel's theory though. Especially after seeing that there's a period after Wapol's part, I bet the world nobles just appointed the new kingdom (acknowledged)

that what Aohige_AP says .

Naruto spoilers sound crazy.

Bleach
Come on guys you know they had to come still i happy about it .
Did not care about seeing ichigo getting troll all the time.

You kidding? Seeing Ichigo get mindfucked was entertaining as hell, with no bullshit powerups and insane power levels. It felt like a good action shounen

 

[Stat Flow]

The only good thing about Soul Society showing up right now is that we can get insight into what the next plotline will be.

At the same time, Ginjo could be the lost Representative Shinigami and the current captains aren't there to aid Ichigo, but to capture Ginjo as a prisoner, interrogate him, etc. etc. I wouldn't mind something like that. But I doubt it. -_-

Trolling Edit: Then they throw Ginjo into Prison, the lowest level. Ginjo meets up with Aizen.

Aizen: All according to plan. /trollface

ARGH HNG GOD DAMMIT

Keima can't believe it's this easy with Ayumi. I don't even think something will go wrong in these circumstances. I don't think Chihiro will come, and the goddess may appear right now with this.

I think it's going this easy because Chihiro might have the goddess >_>

Nope not kidding it was same old bleach only thing Ichigo was weak as fuck .
I hate when the main char gets power down like a bitch and Ichigo gets troll all the time at least let me have my fun watching him kick ass also .
Hell we are 400 plus chapters into Bleach i expect insane power levels .

Chihiro has the goddess and he'll succeed with Ayumi, and then get all weirded out when he just picked up Ayumi without any benefit.

That, or Chihiro is going to come and there will be a hilarious misunderstanding.

Gravy either way

Why the fuck would all those people be there and what the fuck was the purpose of fullbring

How could you become a world noble? The whole point is that they're descendants of the founders of the World Government. You're either born as one or not.

It's most likely that that they just gave him is new country to rule over, since he is a deposed monarch.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Bleach

Portion of the chapter translation by Nyoro~n at FLOL.

So you're Ginjou? The power you stole is just the top layer of the Ichigo's agglutinated fullbring powers. Shinigami powers gush forth from Ichigo's insides. Someone like you wouldn't be able to exhaust them in the least!

So, it says only the top layer of Ichigo's agglutinated fullbring powers were stolen implying that not all of his fullbring was taken away.

 

[Lain]

Any romance manga out there (Shounen, Shoujo, or any other types) that does not have a pretty boy as its protagonist/main character?

I can only think of Bara no Tame ni, which has a fatty (and therefore ugly) girl as the main character (but it's a given that the men are pretty), at the moment.
Maybe Densha Otoko. I never found the main guy good looking (he is a loser), but that probably had more to do with the art.

 

[Bisnic]

Well, i guess we can say goodbye to Aizen 2 and 3 now with all those SS captains back.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Well, i guess we can say goodbye to Aizen 2 and 3 now with all those SS captains back.

Probably not since Tsukishima is nowhere to be found in this chapter nor are the rest of the other fullbringers.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Springtime of Youth is so superior to regular Naruto. Rock Lee and Neji with Sharingan Contact Lenses :lol :lol

 

[DonMigs85]

Are we still getting Naruto this week or just this Springtime of Youth?

 

[Bisnic]

Probably not since Tsukishima is nowhere to be found in this chapter nor are the rest of the other fullbringers.

I'm saying they're probably no match to them. Unless Kubo did a bad job showing their ultra powerful attacks.
