Is this at the fireworks?

I'm adjusting for night shifts next week so I've already read till 14. All it did so far is prove to me just how ridiculous my long term memory is because besides Ren and the trio MC I don't remember anyone and anything. I do remember some blue ice guy with a snowboard but that's it. If you remember everything and it's a pain, feel free to cruelly abandon me on my own in a very awkward position

It's not that bad. In fact, I'd totally forgotten about Faust until CB mentioned him.
 
Bleach vol 49

This volume starts with the post Aizen stuff, so I thought it was time to resume reading Bleach.
The first chapter I had already read in scanlations and, like I said in the past, I liked the direction Kubo took with it. The following chapters reinforced the feeling, at least until Ichigo get sucked in by Ginjo. I understand that he feels useless and put aside which, given his nature of wanting to help people in need is hard on him as he is now powerless but he is way too stupid in getting caught up with Ginjo's bullshit.
At least a damn awesome milf was inserted into the story. I hope more of her will be seen in the next volumes.
I miss Kon by the way. The inserts at the end of every chapter with Mizuiro and Keigo were funny, but not Kon level funny.
 
Tower of god 61-74

I finally caught up, and dammit i hate when i read the latest chapter and there is the biggest cliffhanger. What a shock the ending of chapter 74 was. Wow.
 
I was smiling through that entire chapter man, I just couldn't take it seriously, it was so silly!

this however, serious fucking business (amusing misunderstanding actually, though understandable)

What the...


There's a manga called Nononono?

fariy tale ch2-10

I think am at where I dropped the anime, am liking the manga better then the anime. it doesn’t have those stupid magic circles when there casting a spell or doing a move (edit)and the worst sin of all "stock animation" fucking awful.

-the manga even more like one piece then the anime
-good art style with a lot of charm like how the humor is done.

is it too late to get on this fairy tail hype? is the manga ending soon?

It's so cliche to laugh at this... but dammit, I did.
 
Bleach

Is that a lolscar on Ginjou's face or just the shadow of his hair? Doesn't matter, it looks stupid.
Rukia's new hair style is still cute. Looks much better now. <3 too bad for her that Ichigo is not interested in women

Naruto
Kakashi and Guy saved the chapterday.

Not really in the mood to read One Piece right now. Just like the weeks before, it would be too much shitawesomeness to deal with. Forgive me, Goda, I'm not worthy.

I guess after making it through the first arc, I got used to the magic circles. I dont know it seemed to me to add a nice effect after awhile, bigger issue in the anime was just reusing the same clips for Natsu's attacks, that dragon...

If fairy tail was ending soon, then I would have stopped posting and quit manga. I think its just beginning with the first 250 chapters or so serving as a giant prequel.
 
Shaman King 4

Looks like this will be my new stupid fun manga, now that Taily Fail isn't really worth reading anymore. I wonder how it wil develop over the next chapters.
 
Yugioh 5D's 10

I think Syrus was a more interesting partner than Sect. However, Sect is funny. The duel is pretty awesome and still reminds me of Tag Force 4/5. Extra Fusion (fuse fusion monsters before they are fused?) doesnt make sense, unless its just an alternative for polymerization, is it even real? Anyway the fusion of Bombing Beast Fire Bomber and Firebird, the Burning Skywing for Blaze Fenix, the Burning Bombardment Bird was cool, however it highlights the thing I hate most in Yugioh...the coolest sounding monsters never seem to have attack power to match the name.

It becomes serious business soon enough.


Although on that note, does anyone have any recommendations for an ongoing, light-hearted battle manga that is actually good?
 
Fairy Tail

-Gerard!
-Ultear returns too!

... Okay, so apparently Ultear did indeed turn good after the last arc (why did that happen, again? I can't remember an actual good reason...), and now has founded an independent guild which she goes after dark guilds with. Oh, and she broke Gerard out of prison, so he's with her guild now. They aren't going to join Fairy Tail though, so that prediction hasn't happened (she says that she's done worse things than she could ever make up for for instance, which is surely true), but she's good now, I guess?

As for Gerard... we all knew he had to return sometime. Well, he's back now, and out of jail. He's gotten his memory back too, it seems. Oh, and apparently Ultear is going to give the Fairy Tail group a powerup so they can better compete at the magic games that are about to start. How convenient... :)

So yeah, Gerard's back, again. How shocking... :p

She had a vision of her mum and that girl she's with cried or something so you are fairly right but people have turned good for less reasons than that in other shonen though.

Did you read Beelzebub?
Esprit?
I, um, Toriko? Blood Lad? I don't remember you talking about any of those (HxH too actually)
 
I was thinking more because he loves expys so much and because Lucy and Natsu are already Elie and Haru expies.

The only reason they even look marginally different is because Mashima's art changed. He did a Rave x FT crossover once in which Lucy, Natsu, Elie and Haru were the only characters and all of them looked identical using his current art.

Haru has cooler hair and a better outfit than Natsu though, humorously enough. XD
 
Just going to throw this out there. I don't find Rukia cute at all. Well I never tought much of it I always look at her and think...meh.

Wait I thought she was rather attractive in this cover right here (I swooned a little bit )but again...eh.
 
Otogi Matsuri

lol, this is such a weird romance subplot. I honestly can't predict where it will end up. Ringo is best girl though.

But that's not what this series is about, so I hope we get back to the action soon.
 
Iris Zero vol 2

RAPE

Much better than the first volume. The Tachibana story was the best one so far, while the culture festival one was very stupid. This manga is very inconsistent with their plot in quality.
 
Rukia is so hit and miss with me. Some times I see her and I'm alright with her, other times it's <3, and then yet there's the moments of "You're bland, gtfo."

Her new hair style isn't helping her case for me :(

Iris Zero vol 2

RAPE

raep indeed. I quite liked the festival story, if only for the totally cliche romance+ moment at the end. I'm sappy like that, damn it! Though, after
I see butterflies of death
, it is a let down of a breather "arc."
 
Kubo draws Rukia very feminine looking most of the time, but the anime draws her like a dude. The anime is notoriously poor quality a lot of the time, however.

MC looks like Roy Mustang


What's the endgame here? Why are you reading this?
Maybe he likes Oh my Goddess. I like OMG too, what's the problem?
 
Iris Zero seems like a crappy weekly anime which got made into a manga. Does it get any better than MC helping people with their stupid personal problems for a short arc before helping other people with their personal problems? I'm getting a Index vibe from this that I don't much care for.
 
by manga/anime standards of female character design (which the standards are really low), I do like rukia character design and I did like her in the early arcs of bleach when she would show up kakura town to troll ichigo's private life.

..what like 102.98% manga/anime male highschool protagonist?

He's drawn like him.
 
Not at all, Roy has relatively short hair and a large face with small features, typical of Arakawa adults.

That is generic black haired protagonist #3458993

I suppose. This whole series seems as troperiffic as any I've ever seen. I'm tempted to do a read through and peg every single one.
