DTL taking it to another level :lol

Fairy Tail

Liked it a bit. It's something you'd find in HxH, let's see if Mashima can pull it off.

The Breaker: New Waves

Heh, that was kinda awesome. Have we ever seen that masked guy before?

Gamaran

Kashitarou is a boss.

Both Gamaran and TB:NW are awesome right now and Fairy Tail reminded me of Assassins Creed multiplayer .
 
Sanctuary Vol 1-6

Now I get why this series is so hyped. The art, the characters, the reactions, the story, they are all awesome, since the begining it hasnt slow down. It is already in my top 5.
 
Kind of hard to believe Negima's ending in another three chapters.

Reminds me of that screw up in a certain chapter of Nyan Koi!—the one where Junpei was sick. Kaede's proportions were all screwed up on one of the pages... It was corrected in the tankobon though.
 
Drifters 1-26

So Nobunaga and Toyohisa
are leading a revolt of elves with
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
to overthrow
Hitler's
crumbling empire. A mysterious evil guy is laying waste to everything with an army including
Jeanne D'Arc, Anastasia Romanova, Rasputin
and a fuckload of monsters.
Hannibal's
been reduced to a mental wreck because
Scipio's
gone missing.
Yoshitsune's
in the background laughing at everyone.

This is pure genius.

Bambino! :164 (Fin)

What a fucking cliff-hanger. I know that it's all set to continue in Secondo, but I would have, at the least, dug a proper ending to the arc. But whatevs, Bambino!, as a unit itself, was a ride that everyone should look into. I enjoyed it immensely. And do vrey much look forward to the scans of Bambino!: Secondo, if I'm to be a lucky man and actually get any.

Superlate quote, but whatever, I just finished this series too and am mostly in agreement with everything you said, even if that twist right at the end felt ultra-contrived. And not having anyone translating the sequel is just another of the many unfair things in life, I suppose.
Also, I think someone else here said this, but reading through this series and not being such a go-getter in my personal life makes me feel lazy as hell.

e: Also also, Sekiya Tetsuji draws some of the best "serious mode" faces I've ever seen.
 
Woohoo. My first manga analysis ever!

Naruto

Naruto is getting ready to go HAX mode. In any case, this arc needs to start winding down or at least give us a good indication as to where it is leading to because it's beginning to drag on at least to me.

Fairy Tail

Was I the only person who got a strong Assassin's Creed multiplayer vibe from this? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he took inspiration from the game for the idea of Hidden. Decent chapter.

History's Strongest Disciple

Someone's about to die. All the signs are aligning.

One Piece

Genuinely excited to see what happens next. Great chapter and much didn't even happen!
 
I'm so happy for you guys, having a nice dude like me to hype it up for you all these years. I found the manga completely randomly by browsing IRCs back when I was in binge mode. #ckmoney if I remember right. RIP.
 
TLR 152

While Momo is rapidly approaching god status, Nana keeps being the plank that's kind of there. I don't think Rito even grabbed her anywhere once. Seriously what the fuck, that's preposterous.

Considering her niche, you'd expect things to be a bit different.
After all, 38% of perverts are lolicons

Now if this would only work for Zetman.
Click to expand...

I actually read the first chapter of both Sanctuary and Zetman the same time years ago when Kishi first started to hype them, so that's next on my list, though I really don't like the idea of start on ongoing Seinen series.
 
Welcome to the World of Galge

Hahaha this is so creepy. Man. He went all out with that concept.

It's totally a "god dammit, I knew they'll make this manga sometime" sort of thing. Now that it's here, might as well read it.

It's still really creepy.

Berserk

Wait I'm new to this stuff, Feb 10th? Isn't that, like, Feb 10th? As in the Feb 10th that isn't 100 days from now?

Anyway I hope Isma isn't gonna just fuck off or something like nothing happened. At least join them till Elf Island or something.

Anagle Mole

Now I want Chiwa to build an entire gang that follows her everywhere. Please let this happen.

No Bleach? I think it is worth investing time in, it is pretty cool, and who wouldnt enjoy dragonslaying magic?
Click to expand...

I watched it up until the end of the Soul Society arc. Since then I've just been keeping up to date by watching all the fights and the dialogue in them. I've got the gist of what's happened up till now actually.

The fullbring arc kinda left me disappointed. Though I'm kinda stoked about this final arc.


I just didn't mention it because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to talk about it in detail. Though I suppose I could always provide my impressions on upcoming bleach chapters anyway.

If I was MC's age, I would be spending pretty much all of my time attempting to have sex with whoever my girlfriend was. I'm just saying, that's pretty much what makes these dumb series so unrealistic and annoying. It's the same thing with RageTown.

Japanese Birth rate: 7.31 births/1,000 population (2011 est.)
Japanese Death rate: 10.09 deaths/1,000 population (2011 est.)

Unrealistic?

Those stats are dumb and meaningless - the US population is regressive also if you don't count immigration.
 
D. Gray-Man
This chapter was a lot of Kanda/Allen bromance...on the other hand, the plot thickens with
Link
showing up

Berserk
There's a new chapter next week...I feel like this is a trap
 
Silver Spoon

Good thing I stuffed myself with cake before reading this chapter. Never felt hungry.

And now we just caught a glimpse at the final boss. I hope they will show his reaction to the package next chapter.
 
Hyde & Closer end

Not as rushed as I thought it would be. I'm still thinking this got cancelled, but at the very least things were wrapped up nicely. It ending is more disappointing because of how much potential the world has rather than loose ends.

Anyway, great series. Some very nice and tactical magic battles with some neat character development. I've always been a fan of the "defeat means friendship" trope, so with the 2 serial killers near the end joining the good guys was nice. Maybe the final battle could have been longer, but it was good nonetheless.

Looks like I should check out this guy's current series, though it does seem to be COMPLETELY different.
 
Negima is ending???


Damn it. I need them to explain all the nonsense! The magic world is a reflection of mars over the ocean of the moon or something.

And I'll pay money money for someone to animate the fights in this manga. I am a sucker for magic circles.
 
KNIM

Every chapter they don't just have sex and end this miserable series pisses me off more. I don't even know why.
 
GE

MC/Shou, moving forward maybe, if Shou's worries don't derail it that is?

... I still prefer Yuki, though.

High School DxD 1-10 (all so far)

Action harem fighting manga thing about a guy who becomes a devil fighting against fallen angels (so far, they're the opponents). Yeah, I wasn't really expecting to like it, but ended up reading all ten chapters one after another, so I guess I kind of did... so yeah, it's okay and did keep me reading. The cast and plot are mostly generic, but there are some somewhat different elements to it, and it is entertaining. The plot's okay enough to do, too. There's quite a bit of fanservice too, but a welcome absence most of the usual anime female reactions (Rias, the female lead, just doesn't care at all about being seen naked, for instance). The MC is perverted and basically is thinking about girls almost all of the time, and as always for anime leads is kind of stupid too, but he's not really unlikable. The cast a a whole's nothing special, but they're just interesting enough to do.

Despite the concept, this series, so far anyway, really isn't depressing. That's nice. I hope it stays that way. The main characters are all devils though, but they don't exactly do much of anything demonstrably evil that's shown... either they're not particularly evil devils, or that side of things is not shown in order to make the main characters more likable as protagonists. I don't know which it is, some of both probably. Oh, and the MC? Apart from wanting a harem, he's not evil at all I'd say, so far anyway.

The US birthrate, not counting immigration, is 2.06, one of the highest among first-world nations and only barely under replacement (2.1). The Japanese one is 1.21, one of the world's lowest. Now in the US immigrant groups do have the highest birthrates, but still, the US birthrate is far above Japan's, it's not close.

upandaway said:
Signs point to it being canceled by the author himself (he thought he could take the mirror further but found out otherwise, plus the MC can't move anywhere on his own -> "why did I do this")

Nothing to contradict that it was canceled by Jump, though.
Click to expand...
Was it unpopular in Japan? That could well have led to a cancellation... as for that first paragraph though, eh, I don't know. I can think of plenty of ways they could use that plot concept for stupid hijinks, but it does a lot less of them than you might have expected, to its credit. But still, it doesn't really seem like there was nowhere more it could go... I don't know though, maybe you're right and the author wasn't liking it as much as they had thought at first. It is a reasonably good series for its genre though, I think.
 
Akumetsu vol 2

Agh my head hurts. This manga is just about some fucker that wants to change Japan by murdering everyone in power. And here I thought I will get a good action battle manga.

Pretty much. The series, and its ending are fucked.
 
Ok I'm dropping the manga. I read the third volume and it's still the same shit.

Wandering Son vol 1

Beautiful. Way different start than the anime, but I'm preferring this better. My only complaint is that the panels don't flow that well but it's just a minor issue.
