Shokugeki no Soma 1-46

I went into this with lower expectations than the last time I tried making curry, since cooking's at the bottom of my list of interests. After 40ish chapters I now repent my sins. Despite giving zero forks about all the food jargon, each culinary exchange is so masterfully built up and depicted that I'm almost inspired to learn how to stop poisoning people. Almost.



I've seen a lot of waifu arguments here, which is weird, because Team Alice is clearly the light and the truth. I'm assuming Erina does something admirable in the next 60 chapters to justify her popularity, because right now she's an unremarkable tsunoujo, outshone by her more overt, affable and steamier cousin in basically every way. Tadokoro at least fills her role well enough that I could understand siding with her, even if I wouldn't agree with it. As for Meat, she's on the level of that childhood friend what's-her-name, as demonstrated by their mini-arc together.

Just reached what I assume is the beginning of the tournament, which is the checkpoint I was aiming for. Should be caught up by next weekend.

Erina is the worst, and her stans are the worst

Oh damn, Midoriya beaten in less than a second?
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I have full faith that the writer will remember him in the next few chapters. Surely he wont just focus on Soma, Erina, and Erina's aide exclusively :(

You also have full faith that Soma and Takumi are already engaged in an off-panel relationship which just happens to never have been mentioned.

It took 2 months for them after we realized they licensed it to finally get that official announcement out there but HYPEEEEE!

Been a bit behind. I had a good laugh when King showed up.

Giving yourself a handjob after body swapping? That's a bit narcissistic, isn't it?
 
Yoakemono 14

Five floors of this tower, each with its own mini-boss.

Oh never mind, your allies are going to fight them so just skip ahead, lol

This is really showing, oh yeah, we got cancelled so lets just move to the final boss already.

I don't know why people would call Tadakoro boring while Erina is a thousand times more boring than she is.

Just hurry up and marry and have babies already, you already-locked-by-historical-accounts lovebirds.
 
Dragon Ball Z Rebirth of F

you'd think Goku and the Team would have some DragonBall's Monitoring/Guarding Squadron by now to prevent such stupid shit like this from happening... oh well

I totally called the birth mother coming back to cause drama, but I'm glad it was resolved without any too crazy twists. I really enjoyed this series, and Mao was just super-adorable. I'm not surprised guys kept falling for her. The character progression was also very steady and satisfying. It's nice to read a series that has a plan and isn't axed halfway through, especially since it happens so rarely.

Anyone have any suggestions for similar series?

Honestly, the entire the events, the excuse they are going to use for why Frieza is so strong...everything seems like jumps in logic that aren't needed. I know Frieza is popular, but still...

Toriyama's other works that connect to the DB universe like Jaco and Minus also have inconsistency..... it as if he forgot about what he actually wrote in the past

I feel sorry for those who have

Minus is bad simply because it's inferior to the Bardock Special in everyway.

Though Toriyama himself states that he actually doesn't look that far back to the stuff he writes which is both a good thing and bad thing. Battle of the Gods was a fine start to the movies, but I can already see this one taking a deep dive into bad.

Tokyo Ghoul 19


Ahahahaha motion unstable, you never change do you Naki. My boy Naki is going ham on the CCG while being an idiot. A new character named Miza is introduced who's ranked S. Man do I find it funny how she's Naki's babysitter.


Man has a few years done wonders for Ayato, he's looking beast. Also it seems Suzuya still calls Big Madam Ma, hmmm.

Mutsuki is in a dire situation with the way Kanae is looking at her towards the end, welp. Also WTF did Uta know ahead of time of the CCG operation. The Clowns may as well cause the operation to fail.

Both sides are definitely gonna have many casualties.

I have a manga backlog even though i took two weeks off of working.

I am embarrassed. Worse is in two days time I have decided to stop being a jobless bum and get back to working. ffs. I'm the breadwinner after all.

two weeks of procrastination is bad for the soul.

gonna try to read hellsing, sakura trick tomorrow.

Normally I'd expect at least a dedicated chapter of flashback for something like this, but i'm not unhappy to see it go in just this one.
