one piece spoilers

Punk Hazard The enemy is samurai and a talking dragon.
Smoker has his hair slicked back, sunglasses, and a scar on his face. It seems he's also heading for Punk Hazard.

Luffy, Zoro, Robin, Usopp get off the ship.
The others keep watch.

Chapter is full of talk of Wano Country.

*note- punk hazard literally means a danger of tires bursting, but it seems to be a place, here
 
more one piece spoilers

Heading for a sea of fire.
The denden mushi rings; Luffy picks up.
The person on the other end is requesting assistance. It's an island called Punk Hazard
Luffy hangs up. Smoker was intercepting the call.
Luffy says "Let's go and save them!"
Robin, Zoro, and Usopp go with him in the Mini Sunny (probably means Mini Merry, here) to the island. The world govt. and marine flags are at the entrance to the island. They enter without paying that any mind. ( ofcourse what do you expect from the SHs ? lol )
Naruto spoilers

Young Kurama is cute.

Something about the young Bijuu sitting around the Rikudou Sennin.

Bijuu names, not sure on some of them due to different ways kanji can be read:

1: Shukaku
2: Matatabi
3: Isona/Isonade
4: Son Gokuu
5: Kokuou
6: Saiken (?)
7: Choumei
8: Ushioni/Gyuuki
9: Kurama

Bleach

Mayuri´s new design is amazing. Ahahahaha.
Isshin arc incoming.
 
Negima 351

I've been reading this thing since pretty much the beginning and the chapter was actually kinda touching. Particularly seeing the class roster again.

Anyway, now that
Asuna is gone hahahaha
Negi can hook up with someone better, i.e. nearly anyone else Nodoka or Evangeline.

Nodoka sucks. She's like a slightly better Hinata, who is terrible. Yue is superior.

And yeah, Evangeline is awesome.

Saru vol 2 [END]

The end to this was weird. The whole explanation of things was somewhat weird, although more on the complicated side of weird.
The art was great, the story interesting (I love the supernatural stuff, and this had also some religious stuff) but I think I'd need to re-read it a couple of times to get it completely.
Anyways, I'm now a fan of Daisuke Igarashi's art.
 
I know, but I have an inkling that Uzumakis were the ancestors to Uchiha and Senju

I agree and suspected this too(that the sage was an Uzumaki). There have been plenty of hints that Naruto is a more direct descendant of the Sage.
The latest chapter connects him even more to the Sage.
People have to remember that the sons of the sage are feat-less, and Naruto is destined to overshadow the pathetic dispute of senju vs uchiha. It was Madara himself that assigned Naruto that role while he himself has long since passed that point. I guess i can't blame him for trying to stop Naruto at all cost since with time it becomes more and more clear that Naruto will be the true reincarnation of the Sage.
 
Naruto

Might have to read it again later when better translations are out, then again, I don't really care enough to reread it.

Development and stuff was fine, mostly curious what'll happen next.
 
Naruto

Wow... now with this fight behind us, I can't wait to see the Sauce's hax that allow him to keep up with Sage of Six Palms Super Sayan 4 (or is it 5). The only one Naruto hasn't absorbed would be One Tail, it's like he was all but forgotten about (aside from that cute little flash back with Kurama Puppy and Friends™).

I actually enjoyed the chapter. Just not Naruto's cheesy final line.

Watch Sasuke get the one tail.
 
Bleach is ending?! I can finally be free of its shitty grasp? I am overjoyed!

Pretty damn good chapter of Naruto as well.

Bleach Repeat & Reboot Vol 3

10番隊長 ヒツガヤ 卍解は完成してます。 刀のチェーンなどかわっつます
Hitsugaya perfected his Bankai. The chain of his zanpakutou changed.

I dont believe final arc...Why is both Isshin past, Urahara/Aizen, and 0 and Spirit king all in it? Unless this will be some huge five+ year storyline that seems to much to be in it any otherway.

Anyway the best news revealed, cant wait to see one of my favorite bankai, perfected.
 
Naruto: This chapter was actually good. Tobi/madara still seemed confident after all this, I wonder what hax is going to pull out now.
Kinda curious to see what is going with the real Madara fight now, that and Itachi.
 
Hunter x Hunter chapter 334 raw spoilers

Lots of talking by Pariston.
He realised that Gon is healed.
Gon shows up at the election apparantly fully healed. Hugs leorio.
A couple of the dudes from Greed Island point out to him where Gin is sitting.
 
Naruto

I thought that the bijuu were human before becoming monsters, oh well they were kinda cute as babies.

One Piece

Smoker looks pimp.
Usopp still has "cant set foot on new islands disease" lol.
Nice way to introduce the new island Oda, with a giant dragon.
 
One Piece

Damn I'm already loving this arc, every single island in the New World seems completely and utterly effed up in the most insane ways imaginable.

A few things I liked/made me curious about this chapter:


1. Smoker's huge scar is pretty intense, I really wonder if anyone of interest inflicted that on him. Something makes me feel like he learnt the difference in power NW pirates have the hard way.

2. Glad to see Robin's on the primary exploration crew for this arc, eventhough it's hard to say anything this early I really really hope Robin will get a proper quality 1 on 1 fight this arc. She's virtually the only straw hat to never have a good 1 on 1 with a high level foe.

3. I love how Usopp is completely back to his old self now that they're facing the intensity of the New World.

I'll be honest in saying I love how well Oda managed to capture the difference between the three oceans.

East Blue's islands were extremely normal, barely leaving anything memorable aside from architecture and characters.

The Grand Line had a lot of "themed" islands that had 1 or 2 remarkable things such as dinosaurs, them being winter or desert islands and some cool/absurd man-made structures. But in most cases the most absurd stuff was more "amazing" than completely and utterly insane in how deadly and counter intuitive it was.

But the New World's islands we've seen so far are almost deceptive in how insane they are.

When you see the island they're on now, "Punk Hazard" the first thing that stands out is the heat and flaming ocean filled with burnt skeletons, but man, the vague messages of the cold being the real killer, the contradictory weather climates.. it makes me feel like there's no clever way to prepare for these islands.

The real danger seems like a combination of 90% of the things around you being clearly dangerous and the remaining 10% possibly being even more dangerous than the apparent insanity around you.

If this feeling stays strong through the arc I might enjoy it a lot.

4. I think it's really cool that it seems like Smoker will be a big part of this arc as well, that sort of stuff makes any arc seem like more than just a "random danger island". Looking foreward to what his role will be.
 
I still think the biggest problem with naruto is that they freaking name drop like characters in bulk this arc.

There are way too many new folks this arc lol. I can barely keep up with all the new folks from other villages T_T.

But but... baby tailed beasts~

It's like chibi nuclear warheads! dawww
 
One Piece

Man, that chapter was CLUTTERED. Even more than usual.

The chapter was fun and is a good start for the New World. Seas of fire already put it a step above the dangers in Grand Line waters. Punk Hazard marks the second reference to Oda's samurai one-shot, so I guess this confirms the share the same world. Also Dragons.

I'm indifferent on Smoker's new design, but I hope this "everyone has scars now!" trend ends soon.
