the ninja tools are going to bite Madara in the ass hard later.

or maybe he'll destroy them from the inside when they use them to capture him. this seems similar to when Majin Buu was trapped in the time room and then he broke out in the most unexpected way.

Really didn't want Rukia to have to be saved. What was the point of her training and learning more about her abilities if it has to come back to this.

Naruto
Sigh.

Well Madara needed to do something really, really stupid to make a win against him look even half way plausible, and I guess this chapter showed what it is.
 
Naruto

Did black zetsu just steal the nine tails.....WTF are kakashi, Gaara and the 4th doing.

I do agree it was stupid for Madara to drop those tools but more importyantly it shows he has gotten arrogant. Right now (and rightfully so) he thinks he is invicible which may lead to reckless mistakes like dropping the ninja tools of the SAGE OF SIX PATHS lol.

Guys what if the guy standing next to sasuke is the sage of six paths?
 
Toriko
And so everyone moved into the 80's
WTF is Zebra wearing?

Naruto
I am going to spit out a major plot device like tobacco and not give a fuck

Bleach
Come on Kubo stop giving Rukia the cold shoulder... Let her actually do something productive!

So the war has be going on for three years. Time to wrap this shit up kishi.

Mystery dude has to be someone we have seen already, for it not to be a complete asspull. Thinking it might be Shisui. Had to lol at that troll move at the end.


Bleach
Give her a new power up and still not let her kill her enemy. Let her have atleast one W Kubo.

I don't see the appeal of reading manga that look all exactly the same and talk all about the same things... I mean just do one gigantic work about baseball not 10 different ones :/

By having the same looking characters in every work, there is a sense of nostalgia and familiarity that helps in easing the reader in, which also adds to the charm of Adachi's stories that thrive on a sense of nostalgia and laid back mood. There is nothing like a page devoted to the changing season which then turns into a self depreciating joke or a pervy look toward some girl.

I think it's more akin to when Kid Buu spat out Fat Buu.

GIven the recurring themes aren't there high chances to reading the same exact situations with the only difference being the name of the characters? Isn't that incredibly boring to a certain extent?

Or even, there is this beautiful scene but you don't actually like the mc like the one in that other work made ten years ago and wish it was used on that one, isn't that annoying?

Don't know man... i just can't see the benefits.
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Toriko

Everyone's getting fabulous!
Shimabukuro's character designs are definitely getting better.

Also, Toriko and Rin getting engaged just like that. That was weird.

One Pie- oh....

Bakuman 30

So I started reading this, some thoughts:

- Mashiro and Azuki are stupid as shit. There is nothing romantic about this and it almost makes me angry. Takagi + Miyoshi is the much better pair.
- I love Niizuma. Dude is just nuts. I read somewhere he was based on Eiichiro Oda, I wonder if that's true :lol
- Aoki can choke on a plastic bag and die in a ditch.
- I find it a bit of a bummer that there hasn't been much about the technical side of manga writing but more about the competitions. There was some of that in the beginning but they seem to have completely abandoned it :(
- How realistic is it really for kids in school to get serialized. C'mon son.
 
Naruto

Stupidity level reached is over 9000..... That one guy whose name I forgot could be the one near Sasuke. The wood user guy that was part of the tree that is no longer there anymore. Then again Karin doesn't recognize him so it might not be him. We are probably gonna get some bullshit about Black Zetsu turning on Madara ala Gin style and get pwned.

Bleach

As Nodt isn't dead from that? WTF Rukia and Kubo! At least Byakuya comes back. All the fangirls are screaming in delight. I wonder if the Fear had anything to do with why As Nodt wasn't completely dead.

One Piece

Missing this week sadly. >.<
 
Naruto

I dunno what caused me to facepalm harder, Medara dropping the ninja tools for being heavy/useless, or black zetsu stealing the dark 9 tails in a matter of moments, or...

Bleach

... Rukia being bailed out by Byakuya who's still alive after his death scene/speech, or fear quincy surviving absolute zero, save me One Piece...

One Piece

... Oh... :(

As someone here has just said recently, it's because how similar they are that it's almost impossible to dislike one series while liking another, the same for the MCs. If you don't like a manga by him from the start, you wouldn't pick up another anyway.

Ore ga Ojou sama Gakkou ni "Shomin Sample" Toshite Rachirareta 1

Needed a pallet cleanser after playing Danganrompa all night. Not nearly as lewd as I was hoping so far, but there is always time for that to change! I like the concept enough (guy who everyone thinks is gay is brought into a all-girls private school because they don't see him as threatening), and who doesn't love a bunch of clueless girls?

Toriko 266:

Are we really not getting a flash back for the time skip? Is there a Toriko movie or something coming out to fill in the blanks? It would be one thing if it was One Piece where all the characters did was train for years, but there's some serious plot development that had to have happened over the break.

Well, I guess absolute zero isn't enough to kill off fear, while it should have totally killed him anyway. Oh well, as OP Rukia is supposed to be, her brother ends up coming in to take over.

Naruto

So how much longer is this going to be stretched out? I feel like it's going to be another month before our two dead main characters are actually revived.
 
Toriko 266

Toriko and Rin getting married

YES!

And yeah we either need a flashback or a canon anime film to show Toriko get Komatsu back along other things this is just silly

What Akito said (if you like one of his works, you usually like them all) and while the settings can be similar (especially when baseball is the backdrop sport of the story), the journey to the end is what really counts.
Plus, when I read Adachi I start longing for something, as I said there is this nice nostalgic yet relaxing feeling. Sometimes this song plays in my head even.

Sincerely after a month of stop the last thing i would see is a sneak peek of a time skip and then a flash back of what happened.

Clearly a mirror of how Goku and Chichi got engaged.

Yep, that's why i liked that scene.

Hmmmm, what romance/drama/comedy mangas have great MCs?

I think my favorite from those genres so far are Keitaro Urashima (Love Hina) and Hitoshi Aoshima (Wagatsuma-san is My Wife).

Maki from Prunus Girl (series finished)
Teiichi from Tasogare Otome x Amnesia (series finished)
The MC from Trinity 7 has swag to spare
The MC from Countrouble is hilarious in a "so incompetent he's good" way, instead of just irritatingly passive/stupid (series finished)


Also, I rank anyone who actually manages to confess to someone above anyone who's too cowardly to ever do it, so I rank Haruto above Raku.

I was half-expecting him to vomit the guy Kabuto had sacrificed for the Edo Tensei: "there, I acknowledged it, you nitpicky readers! and he can just spit the corpse out because magic! much better now!"

As for the mystery guy, I'd say "hey, we know of an Uchiha who got his heart pierced and mysteriously survived anyway, remember! Hashirama had apparently seen/heard/felt something right before passing out, maybe it's the same guy (whose hobby apparently is to save Uchiha psychopaths' lives)? let's connect the dots!"... but yeah, it's Kishimoto, so I probably shouldn't expect much in that area (remember how Obito bragged about having manipulated Yahiko into creating Akatsuki? or how he used to be Mizukage kinda sorta? yeah). Plus, those look like dirty "I've just been a fight" feet...

Still, I'd like to know how Madara survived that old fight/wound. Surely, considering how they were so sure Madara was dead, Hashirama didn't wake up to a distinct-lack-of-corpse, right? So there was a fake corpse? And it fooled everybody?

I sure hope not, this is all so dumb. Two weeks tops. Please. Though at the rate everything is going, by the time team Guy gets to where they are it's probably going to be two months from now. :/ lol

From the harem genre? The only one I can stand is Keima from TWGOK. Otherwise, if we're talking about shojo manga, then I like Yanagi from the Last Game. I guess Miyamura from Horimiya is good, too. For shonen, I like Tanaka from Yandere Kanojo.

As for manga that aren't strictly romance focused, I recommend Spirit Circle and Kono Oto Tomare! heavily.
 
Bleach

That was disappointing, Sode no Shirayuki got a chance to prove its the most beautiful and elegant zanpaktou in all of soul society and Kubo renders its entire fight pointless by having As Nodt survive :(
