Isn't DC about an adult detective who gets put into the body of a baby or a child or something?
 
You guys just hate the mullet huh :p

Actually, for me it's the "hollow" thing in general. I tend not to like the "demonic" transformations in these sorts of scenarios where the character has no control over themselves and/or looks monstrous as opposed to just being able to kick the shit out of someone. So the whole horned demon thing was wack. Even Ichigo himself said it was a copout victory because he couldn't actually control himself during the fight.

Ichigo was being a dumbshit after that too.

That's another example of a plot twist worse than Naruto, btw. I don't think Naruto is going to offer to sever any limbs just to make a fight fair any time soon.

Hard to be that badass while you're fainting. He wouldn't hold a candle to Ichigo's Red Sonja mode.
 
Ugh.

Just "ugh."

What I don't like about Detective Conan is how "perfect" the main character is. I mean, by God he is just a high schooler but he must be smarter than even the most intelligent professor in the world and he is knowledgeable about everything and anything. I mean, it appears like he has encyclopedic knowledge about all the things in this world!

Gifted protagonists is nothing new in shounen but Detective Conan takes it to a really ridiculous level.

If being "badass" was what that crappy looking Hollow Ichigo was when he fought Ulquiorra then I guess I don't like badasses. That form looked retarded.

Old-school, half mask, yellow eyed Hollow Ichigo is the best. Period.

He sucks at music and don't undertand women at all, poor haibara

Anyway, I don't mind his absurd intelligence since he's not the only one.there's a lot of similarly genius detectives in that series, and I still found the black orgonization aan intimidating antagonist, although they appear so rarely.
 
Wait so alot of people don't like the design of raging hollow ichigo? But he had that long hair don't care going on?

I personally liked it from a design point as it was both majorly bizarre & savage. Although I will admit half mask, yellow eyes Ichigo gets a higher position on the totem pole as it better conveys that sense of crazy and "yeah I'm going to cut yo ass."
 
Niseko:

But.. huh?

What?

The key didn't do anything!!!

The chapter was fine, but man. It was for like 1 page and then a completely different thing!

Motherfuckers, the key did nothing.

This week's cliffhanger is alright. I hope they won't have another cop out and resolve it in one page.

Are you guys talking about chapter 6? I'm pretty sure she was lying about the key being a house/bookshelf key?
 
Fairy Tail
Looks like Mashima can't be bothered to pull a bullshit power up through battle and just flat out gave them straight away. This chapter is all wrong.
 
Surprised you didn't include Detective Conan on that list, but then again I can't think of many frequent posters here who read it anyway.

I stopped reading it toward volume 33 or so.
I still buy it though (I'm up to volume 71 and 5 special cases books) because one day, I'm sure, I'll get down and read them.

A quick comment on the first volume of Wandering Son: this looks more like a book and less like a manga, at least from the outside.
 
I sit down and catch up with Detective Conan like once or twice a year. After spending so many years following it weekly, I just gave up. And as much as I love it to death (hooray, mysteries! And a surprisingly large amount are quite the fair play ones), I just can't do that anymore. That and it's been like 80 volumes.

Nisekoi 6 - The manga does such a great job of playing out exactly as expected, yet I still find that okay just out of an enjoyment of the main pairing.
 
Nothing worse than getting excited because you received your manga packages, opening the box and discovering that they sent you a copy of Billy Bat 4 which you didn't order instead of a manga you ordered.
It almost feels like a successful troll.
 
Fairy Tail

So instead of a legit training arc, they're getting a random powerup out of nowhere? From Gerard?


YEP, THAT'S FAIRY TAIL!

I'm still perplexed why a 7 year time jump was initiated at all, I mean Raven Tail were waiting for 7 years ffs.
 
So wait, you're telling me Fairy Tail time skips and then goes into a training arc and then handwaves it off?

Wow.
 
Huh just realized I missed like 10 chapters of FT. Love how training arc just became a beach chapter and random party. I usually bicker about this stuff, but I think the mangaka has reach a good level of mastery of drawing voluptuous ladies ;)

And speaking of Detective Conan, am I just getting dumber, or are the cases getting more and more obscure? Pretty much every case, I've been thinking 'How the fuck did you get to that conclusion based off a chip in the wall?'.
 
TWGOK is out. Been looking forward to this.

Edit: Good chapter, but not much goddess related. Damn. Wonder what the hell that thing is they found. Maybe a portal to hell? Who knows!?
 
Fairy Tail
To tell the truth i rather this BS power up than a training arc only seem right since we talking about FT.
Plus this is FT you know some BS going get pull during the tournament.

Beelzebub
I happy this got rid of these game and gone right to the fighting .
Good chapter .

I actually thought they were getting easier, honestly. But I think that may just be due to the amount of mysteries I read in general. Starting to get too good of a collection of ways to murder :/
 
TWGOK
Mysteries and thriller. I never thought Wakaki will reference his previous arcs which leads to this. Refreshing change from the usual drama.
 
Fairy Tail

Lovely chapter with all of my favorites showing up or being mentioned (Gray and Lyon, Natsu, precious Ultear and that time magic, Gerard FTW), and after last chapter had Loke, and one previous Gajeel, and one before with Hibiki and Romeo, Im already in love with the characters for the arc. I cant wait to see everyone face each other and the dragon slayers go at it.

I think the powerup is interesting and unique especially coming from characters who were those type of line blurring antag~protagonists. I loved how excited they looked about it.
 
TWGOK

No clue.

Really it could be like a million things. Could be a portal, could be a hideout, could be for hell or for the goddesses. Those egg-looking things also seem a bit like huge birds who are folding their wings, so I'm guessing it's connected to the goddesses.
 
TROLL AWAY.
DERP. Wah, Don´t dislike what i like.
Too bad a fair number of the fan base not like that with bleach.

Well he asked me. I answered him. I don´t give a shit about fan base. You might find that a mermaid being Poseidon interesting/exiting. I find it extremely stupid and uninteresting. You know, different people having different opinions and all.


I'm not agreeing with you, but still ...

Fist bump :P
 
i guess we now need a schedule for this shit. lol


Beelzebub

Games are over and now its time for the fighting.

Should be a good match vs Jabberwock and its interesting seeing that girl's reaction since i don't think she ever saw him before.


TWGOK

Hmm, interesting...

Don't really care what you think about One Piece you already said you don't really like it and most of fans of it crazy .
Just having fun with what you said and also saying something about bleach.
 
I still find it rather amusing that people exist who take Bleach seriously, but hey different strokes.

Need more HxH right now still its the best of the pack currently. I wonder if those misses Allumi send Hisoka after are the Hunters showing he's able to read Killua as well as Killua is able to read him.

I think its the fake blimps but given how they are reading each other really well (save for Hisoka trolling Illumi at times) its possible. Plus that would give Hisoka some fun by trying to fight skilled people.

I was thinking it might be the dummy airships (since some have butlers)

edit: hey Infinite
hey
