If you mean the entire collection, from what I gather Viz has censored some religious imaginery. Not sure about this volume in particular.

Yeah, I meant the collection. I'm thinking about buying the collection once they release the last book.

So, nothing big it seems. Thanks.

Snow White decides one day to open up a cafe cause why not.

Its cute and amusing. You see fairy tale characters pop up and I like Snow White capitalistic attitude.

Hunter x Hunter 347:

Not only did Ging purposely get hit by Leorio (which seems like a lifetime ago) to manipulate the voting process, he was able to gain a new ability as well. Even though Pariston is supposed to be so manipulative, Ging has really shown himself to be one of the smartest Hunters in the series so far.

Even though we really didn't get to see "Ging's skills", his ability to get hit and mimic an ability should give him a lot of variety depending on the limits of it (him figuring out other ways to use Leorio's technique/what Leorio would use the technique for was impressive too). Although I'm hoping we'll get to see some of Ging's own abilities eventually.

I'm interested in seeing how far Togashi goes with the Nen weapons. They could create some really fun/creative battles if more than "grunts" use the technique.

Well, I certainly felt welcomed :)

I love Saint Seiya since I was a little kid. The anime was HUGE in my country. It was also the first manga I've ever read. And even years latter as a grown up man I used to spend hours and hours talking about it on Orkut. I've never posted in this thread but Aiolos is my avatar since forever here on GAF, and it's also my Steam avatar.

I didn't watched the Omega show yet, though.

I use to watch the original anime when it was later dubbed in my country

the quality suffered though due to the lack of care taken to restoring the animation :(

Girl likes handsome guy who's called the household prince. She also sucks at household chores so it's time for the prince to teach her stuff like how to cook.

It's not bad. The girl isn't very good at stuff but at least she tries and the perfect guy likes teasing her enough to not be an ass. Its probably also going to be adorable in romance as well so go go.
 
The monologue he's referring to comes from Kakashi:



So it's more like a friendship sort of thing in my opinion. It has nothing on the SasuSaku stuff honestly.

It's also a sentiment we've seen before, from Shikamaru and Shino IIRC. Naruto inspires this urge to follow and support him that seems to go beyond rational explanation at times.

Id prefer a tragic end instead of that.

Ano Ko no Ie 3-5 END

Huh, this didn't end up being as morbid as I expected but it was still pretty out there even if I didn't end up "getting" all of it but I blame that on the huge amount of time between chapter releases. It's only one volume so there's no excuses to not check this out!

La Stravaganza 2

OVER A YEAR AND A HALF after the first chapter and I forgot just how pervy this thing is. I do hope we get more "adventure" scenes though.

After coming back from break, this felt like nothing really happened. There's so much that's going on that all of this switching is really starting to get out of hand. Just start the damn flashback so we can get a more focused story.

Bleach

Fuck yeah, Mayuri and Yoruichi.

Naruto

SakuSasu is back on again? Lmao, Sasuke has been ice cold to her this whole time, so this just made me chuckle.

Hunter x Hunter

So Ging's nen ability is kinda like Medaka's The End? As in if you get hit by it you can replicate it, sounds like it could get OP. I doubt that he could use nen abilities like Kurapika's chain jail without the conditions that it's set to, but maybe his nen is strong enough to be able to do that. Either way, that's some nen ability. Oh, I know that I've said this before, but Pariston and Ging need to stay in the spotlight. I'm loving these two go up against each other and yet work together.

Apparently it's just something he can do, a natural talent, his nen ability is something else entirely. I'm pretty impressed with Leorio's ability after this, he's got a pretty useful skill set.

I don't believe so, since Leorio's is so simple and they're likely of the same type Ging was able to do it effectively enough. I think that's how it worked.

Well damn. That makes sense, since he told Pariston that if he wants to see his real ability, he needs to challenge him. And yeah, I didn't really get Leorio's ability at first, or more like I didn't get the use other than spamming ground punches, but the way Ging explained it (being able to use it in surgery and such), it's pretty impressive. Using it as an alternative for En is just too good.

Yeah that's making more sense right now. It'd be kinda ridiculous if he could copy abilities like a specialist. Thanks.

He said so long as it's a striking type ability he can copy it, so whatever Ging's real nen skill is it'll be along those lines.

For real, plus it's a crazy skill that could have a lot of use in stealth situations. They could have used him in the Chimera Ant fight.

Guys pls dont make naru x saku happen

saku is class-a shit

No please spare yourself the agony! Its just 2 seasons of bad plot. The few moments where the older saints appear are pretty much the only good episodes.

If you haven't already watched/read it then I highly recommend Saint Seiya: Lost Canvas

I also agree with Kasane

Anyways here are my weeks thoughts.

Naruto

End the manga soon pls Kishi. You can do it!

Bleach

YO MY MAN ICHIGO! Why? Poor Orihime, pls Ichigo give the boobs some luv! Anyways hype for the Mayuri fight! Also lol at Yumichika and his banter with Zombiebro.

One Piece

Ehh it was an alright chapter. Oda please the tempo... don't ruin it!

HXH

Whoa Ging is giving those Yusuke vibe! Loving it! Pwning Rat/Partison like that. I'm really liking it, especially when Beyond and Ging have to eventually meet and Gon has to tag along for the ride. HYPE!

Soma 78

Italian guy vs thief, too bad thief needs to win so Soma can destroy his ass.

I'd imagine it would be really useful for stealth. En is useful for sensing everything but you're basically letting everyone know you're there. This would work out perfectly for seeing where everyone is without having to surround them with your nen.

One Piece 753

I see we're back to the mess of a chapter this earlier arc was well known for

Yeah, the constant switching is ridiculous. Having one or two pages for everyone is spreading the plot too thin and it gets really messy. It's why I was hoping the flashback would start so we can get a more focused plotline.

isn't netero's ability a striking ability? did ging copy it?

I doubt that he'd be able to copy the whole buddha statue, but maybe Ging could do something like making anyone fly away. I don't see it happening, Netero dedicated years of just throwing punches and praying to get there, I doubt Ging would be able to pick it up just by seeing it.

I am much more annoyed than entertained reading ONE PIECE nowadays due to the constant switching and chaotic scenes. :/

So many unimportant characters that are there wasting space just to yell and getting punched/exploded to oblivion.

Magi CAUGHT UP

I finally caught up with this. What a ride.

So after that mediocre war arc, things largely settled down and went back to normal. Alibaba's arc was funny as shit but didn't end up too well I felt when they finally went to Balbadd.

It was interesting at first and then Aladdin came to save the day which'll probably unite everyone together or some other bullshit.

With that being said, I'm really enjoying this flashback arc. Magi has some of the best worldbuilding I've seen in a shonen in a long time. It's just as good as One Piece is, only unlike One Piece it's going at a faster rate which is good cause I dunno if I can take another long ass manga like One Piece anytime soon.

You're enjoying this flashback arc? I agree with you that the alibaba arc was enjoyable, and that the worldbuilding done in the beginning of the flashback arc was tremendous, I can't agree that the recent developments have been all that enjoyable. The action degressed back to the Magnostadt arc end battle, with all these extreme magic spells being thrown around in some claustrophobic panels. They're not enjoyable to me at all, and I'm glad that it is done with the war. Now that the war is over, I'm sure this will go back to world building and explanations on how everything came to be instead of these action scenes that I don't want to see.

Yeah but it isn't happening enough to me get annoyed by it. I do agree with you on it though. It's nearing it's end so it doesn't really bother me that much.

I do like the random technology used with the magician though like those planes. It's awesome. Makes it feel like genuinely a completely different world from the world in Magi.

Its all I've seen for the last few weeks so that's probably why I'm so hung up about it. I'm still with you though, the world building of alma toran has been great, and Ugo working his magic with all of these magic tech stuff is awesome to see. I'm glad that the action is over, I'm sure I'll be able to enjoy this arc more again now that it is.
