Awwwwww shit.
Awwwwww shit.
I'm exactly like that too well aside the sunday mornings for me were the entire weekdays
It's not like i can't stand them is just that manga are way more viable and easy to "consume" nowadays

First anime for me was Doraemon. Sailormoon and Dragonball follows right after.
I fucking loved the Akazukin ChaCha dubs from Cartoon Network.

I don't dislike the loli girl yet.
Which might actually be the nicest compliment I've ever said about one.
The Pokemon anime was my.first along with Sailor Moon and Cardcaptors(the reasons I now try to avoid English dubs), Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh, I didn't really get into DBZ until about 2003ish, while most of my friends had been watching it since primary school by then.
After that, I didn't really watch or read anime/manga until 2008/2009 when Naruto got me interested in it again.

It was through anime that I started reading manga.
Saint Seya, Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball, Sakura Cardcaptor, Tenchi Muyo, Pokemon etc.
So many good memories. Nowadays they dont air anime anymore in the public channels here in Brazil.

:< at your comment.
I just went through the first five chapters of this. It was hilarious.
I have it on vhs! I need to watch it again.

Just started it on yesterday, the OP song (Through the Night) is good and Gene is pretty cool. Hope every episode is as strong as episode 1 was.

I had the misfortune of having my first experience with a loli being Louise.
I've hated them ever since.

I barely watched any anime on it, except for pokemon and yu gi oh.
Dexter's laboratory and courage the cowardly dog were my jams.

Sooooo....
Shit.
Looks like the thing that wiped out solomen's nation has appeared.
Also looks like titus was able to save mogamett from fully falling into depravity?

Soshite Bokura wa Koi o Suru 1
Alright so far, its kind of off to a confusing start as I just don't even know what is true of the Granny ato anymore, so many stories and confusing things, though maybe it will be definitively cleared up at some point. Hikari is nice and just needs to do a bit more to finally get Tomoya over, but he seems to at least want to know the truth first. Maybe this night can get even better.

I thought the beginning of magi was pretty boring. Only got good when they went to balbadd.

Althought it was a chapter focusing on the weaker characters in the cast, I did end up smiling when Chi-chan was trying all the clothes on, kind of cute.
Bokura no Mitsudomoe Sensou 2
The cover finally makes sense. I was slightly disappointed at the start of this chapter of the progression as I would have liked the best friends together, but to think Takehiko's plan would turn out like this and reveal everyones feelings. They should do a onsen trip more often (probably leave Takehiro out as he seems too clueless). Takehiko was unexpectantly hilarious and into it. Memorable art.

That's roughly 647,000 copies sold per volume, right? How does that compare to non-One Piece shonen?
Printed doesn't mean sold.
It's more around 550k per volume. A bit below Kuroko's Basketball, Assassination Classroom and Bleach level of sales.
Magi #16 sold nearly 530k so far.

New Hinatama chapters? My day just improved!
My first Manga experience was with DBZ back in 1999, when Viz was releasing 2 chapter long comic books. From there, my next purchase would be years later, when Viz started publishing Flame of Recca. I also started reading Shonen Jump with its 6th issue, and became a huge fan of YYH and Yugioh.

Well at least comparing it to "Shingeki no Kyojin : 10 tomes : 19 500 000," Magi could have done better.

The witches backstory was powerful, emotional, and really action packed. Best incident in this series since the Mephisto fight last arc.

Indeed they are!
While I appreciate the backstory we got about Hinata, it was kind of a bummer that we really didn't get any interactions with the siblings outside of chapter 12, which was a Chiyoko chapter. Tokyo trip has already been fun (with Hinata being dumbstruck by Shibuya), so I hope for more hijinks around the fact that he is basically a dumb hick transported to the city for the first time.

Himitsu no Akuma-chan 13
Somehow overlooked this chapter for weeks. Went much better than expected though could have dragged out the running away part longer. I hope a confession is on the horizon.

This trip has been a blast, Takematsu was kind of funny but am glad he dashed off. I wish this series was longer than two volumes, just three or so more chapters to go

K SIDE: BLACK & WHITE, CHAPTER 2
??? isnt that bad at all. The history of ??? ability is quite interesting and I like how vivid the imagination. Starting to see ??? in a whole new light here. I wonder when ??? will take on the Neko name.

My first anime or manga? Probably Pokemon. If not, it might as well be.
