That lady already exists and was shown already in the series.
The cat lady?
Breast envy.
Yukimura is the best character in Tomodachi. He's hilarious. I also would prefer a Sena ending.
As for Bleach...nah just kidding. I already did that dance.
Totally. Sadder then sad. Just dismal.

Naruto: B-
This chapter was not bad. Nothing happened, because we left off on the same place that we started. But the action wasn't bad and the art (in the beginning) was really nice to me.
The Tobi "No One" shit is really ridiculous. I don't get why, if Tobi thinks who he is doesn't matter, he doesn't just take off the fucking mask. Also, why was he pissed about Kabuto releasing Madara? His motives need to be revealed and not strung out because as it stands this doesn't make too much sense with Madara lurking the other battlefield.
Naruto and Bee are probably going to end up Talk No Jutsu'ing the Jinchurikii, or they might end up being captured. I'd prefer the latter outcome, but then I don't know how anyone would save them considering the other strong fighters are being held up by Madara. Basically, wherever this plot has the potential to go, none of it really seems too outstanding. Unless there's a variable that hasn't been accounted for (like Sasuke, OR who Tobi really is, OR Itachi).
Bleach:: B
I, Uh, Okay. The thing about this twist is that it makes so much sense that it's not surprising. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I guess it could be both, but the point is that we are going to need to see more of Ukitake (in other words, right now, Ginjo doesn't matter) before we can shit on this. As for the timing, it also makes sense, but I want to see how Ginjo relates to the older captains, or in particular Ukitake.
Bankai? That's all you've got, huh bro? I doubt that Ichigo will destroy Ginjo right here, I know that Ichigo isn't thinking this, but Ginjo has too much info to throw out right now. And, Kisuke might show up.
That's another thing, how the fuck does Kisuke (and Isshin?) know about this? Why didn't they tell Ichigo? I guess that they have no particular reason to...
To conclude, we don't know enough yet, as usual.
The twist was just okay.

:/ You're ridiculous, man.
Considering how prominent Shinobi are, there are probably a lot of people out there like her.
She was a weapons dealer that the Uchiha clan made use of quite a bit, but she wasn't in an Uchiha safehouse.
I assume Kisuke knows about it because he was the R&D guy before. Wouldn't be surprised if he helped design it.
Bleach
Yeah I don't see why this reveal is supposed to be a big deal. Keeping tabs on Ichigo (or other substitute shinigami) seems like a smart thing to do, especially considering how Ginjou turned out.
Naruto
It would be nice if Lee, Shikaramaru or any other of the rookie group turned up to help out instead of Naruto/Bee beating everyone by themselves.

Made up on the fly is the last thing this new plotline is. This post makes no sense.
Such as?
Super-powered roller blades that can cushion a fall from a 10 story building and go over 60 mph without overheating are easily the most reality defying element of Air Gear and were introduced in Chapter 1.
I only read it cause I have friends that do. I also never drop things once I start it. Since Naruto is about to end soon it's be a pretty bad idea to stop now.
However my main disappointment and complaint this week is really the art. The last few chapters have had solid art and cool battles cause it featured badass characters were cared about, with even better powers. Anyone who thinks this is even remotely decent paneling, action, and art is straight up blind:
The above pages are examples of bad proportions, lazy scribbles, and cool poses imposed for no other reason other than trying to be "cool" even though they aren't

I'm really surprised at how planned out the arc is though. Kubo is known for a lot of asspulls, but the callbacks in this chapter make a hella of a lot of sense

arrancar arc being too long held him back I think. The guy is getting stuff out there slowly but surely.
In particular, the one with the afro guy that said he never heard of the badge surprised me. I forgot about that and never even thought about the fact that he was from SS and never heard of the badge.
Ha! There's a better chance of Luffy showing up to curbstomp a hoe.

er.. I don't really see what's so bad with those panel?
There's nothing wrong with what's going on in those panels. I didn't have to do a double take to understand what was going on there.
What was so bad about the art and use of panels, compared to the usual?
Perhaps he's not keeping in mind that these guys are in mid-air most of the time due to the fact that they're fighting in the treetops.

Maybe, but saying that that's so bad it makes the HxH scribbles look like masterpieces is just going too far, even if you're exaggerating. Need I remind you how those scribbles actually look like?

Chapter would have been much better if the reason Ginjo give made SS look bad/evil.
Ichigo is someone who lose control more once SS should kept tabs on him.
They even gave him back his powers .
Naruto
Chapter was okay but everyone having a Rinnegan and Sharingan eye is still stupid.
Still it is good we get to see the other tails host fight since we not see them before.

...you really do love to speak absolutes about opinions that you're disagreeing with, huh? You really like using words like "factually", "objectively", and even remarks like the ones I bolded above when you're speaking with those with opinions clashing with yours.
It's good to be passionate, I suppose, but just a friendly advice: you should be more tactful of others.
And yes, as SolarKnight has demonstrated above, if you want to exaggerate stuff at least do it properly instead of just going with the most ridiculous example that you can think of.

Indeed. :/
And to think i was interested when that "shikamaru will be naruto's good friend" line was making waves...
Did you have any issues with Nagato's Pain Rikudou all having Rinnegan? It's for the same reasons.
Wooow...
Anyways, I'd better leave it alone.

You know the other thing that's stupid? Why do the Jin's even have the Sharingan and Rinnegan? They aren't even using any of its unique abilities! It's apparent that they can do shit (you know, considering that they have infinite chakra)...the Sharingan and Rinnegan serve no purpose.
And then, they have regular Sharingans? PFFTTTT. You've either gotta have Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (Mangekyou Sharingan is weaksauce now, sorry Kakashi), or Sharingan-Ready-To-Turn-Rinnegan. Anything else is WACK.
Shittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt son. Shots fired. I completely forgot about that bullshit...damn, how awesome it would be if it were Naruto and Shikamaru running the battlefields right now. Tag-Teaming it up, as Shikamaru makes plans on the fly while Naruto does the action.
FUCKKKK ; ;

Please don't make me re-read any Air Gear. It was just so bad near the end it was damaging. But things made sense up until they stopped making the story about territories. Then you had all that
clock tower shit, the girls singing, super duper technicians, near magical skates, and all this crazy elemental training stuff.
Fake Edit:
It was around ch130 where it went completely insane. Like nothing, absolutely nothing made sense. And that quick few minutes of scanning is all I can take.
If you don't count the character reactions which make absolutely no sense, then yes.

How is this allowed? It must be the style?
Because they're being used for Tobi's technique.
Not yet, anyways. Battle's barely even started.
Since it's been confirmed that he's using the technique Pain Rikudou, six of the Rinnegan's seven paths should be split up between them. It'll be an added hurdle on top of their Jinchuuriki abilities.
Just you wait. Lee will make his triumphant return, kick some arse and show that hard work does indeed pay off!
Right....right?
:/
Because Togashi has a lot of pull, it seems.
Apparently, Togashi was really sick at the time. That was around the time he started taking frequent breaks, I believe.

It's called laziness

It was only like that for a period of time that Togashi will never live down even if he did kinda fix them for the volume releases. As for how was that allowed? It's Togashi. His work is REALLY popular. Also, I'd imagine the supposedly being sick around that time gave him some kind of free pass.
I like it better the way you said it.
I didn't mean those, of course those are objectively worse than pretty much any manga that is actually drawn in every way possible, I was talking about the scribbles more along the lines of this:Maybe, but saying that that's so bad it makes the HxH scribbles look like masterpieces is just going too far, even if you're exaggerating. Need I remind you how those scribbles actually look like?
Even this is better drawn and probably had more effort than literally lazily drawing diagonal lines to replace solid black. There's just no excuse for it

btw, do we have confirmation whether Fu is a boy or a girl?
Man HxH has such shitty art.
Will always be female in my mind.
Callibretto
Member
Besides the fact that they were being attacked while in the middle of Fuu's blinding technique?
Confirmed female.

Indeed. But Togashi's story telling ability is fantastic and at his most brilliant he can pull up stuff that shame other mangakas like Oda, Kubo, or Kishi with no effort.
Zoramon089

wait, your problem is that it use lines rather than tone/black to show shading?
they used light lines because the scene is supposed to blinded by light due to Fu's camouflage jutsu, replacing them with solid black is probably against the intention of the panel
Nah, I thought that but the lines on KBs pants don't follow them...

Kabuto?
XD It always comes back to that.
"DEM EYEBALZ!!1" <cue fist shaking>
Orochimaru's goal, and by extension, Kabuto's goal, is the understanding, and possible gain of Rikudou Sennin's power... Which would mean acquiring super eyes of his own.
Kabuto is gonna bust out his Sharingan eyes when he fights Itachi.
