Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I'm secretly keeping tabs of how often you make this complaint and I'm going to throw a huge party when you get to 1000, which will be next week
They aren't. That's just how punpun sees them and himself. Everyone else sees him normally.
God character idk who it's based on, but you learn more later. Keep going.

Its a censor of sorts since they are apparently real people also.
still rubs me the wrong way though seeing that thing.

They were part of a collection of specials done by Ribon in conjunction with Oha Suta (kids' TV show). MAL refers to them as TV episodes, but after hunting around I think they're just the short, not very exciting things as seen on the Ribon website.
Edit: Actually, each of those videos was uploaded a few days in advance of the special that it shows (the video title gives the TV air date). Maybe they're just previews. Maybe I need sleep.
They're scary in the same way that those collections of children's horror stories you
probably
Okay being real now, children's horror stories are ferociously scary to me. They're way scarier than "grownup horror". I don't know what it is. They're so.. transparent and obvious in their scariness-y practices, that my mind sorta skips the "oh so this and that were done this and that way because then they'll be scarier" and then I run out of things to think about (which is what I do to lie to myself that I'm not really scared) and I actually get scared. I always either remove myself from the area instantaneously or I beg for forgiveness from whoever is in charge.
Out of sheer curiosity I'll try it out a chapter or something eventually but man, scary stuff... man. Scary stuff.
People who like Bleach?
When I went to subscriptions and saw that the last post in this thread was by 789Shadow-chan, I almost knew that the post would be about Bleach.
A+ post

True. It works in context of One Piece I guess but it's hard to really feel anything about a shadowy character that ends up being ... someone new. Like, if it's teased as "GUESS WHO THIS IS!" and it's a new character. Just feels awkward to me, y'know? I like to solve things and being presented with that kind of situation just feels like cheating.
WednesdayGAF is scary.
Mind blown into gooey fragments. Screaming Lessons got 3 TV episode thingys in Oct/Nov last year. Fuck, now this is going to keep me awake.
I never quite understood the lone red character.
They're really not that scary, more of those kind of shock scary things ("If you don't do it, the boogeyman will get you!") sort of things. There's still some horrific imagery at times but nothing that grotesque itself. It's like horror-lite.
I say this as someone else who really doesn't do well with horror stories in general.
I fixed it.

I'd call it closer to disturbing than flat out scary. It's pretty damn shocking to be in a shoujo manga of all places. Some of the implications are worse than the most fucked up seinen out there.
It can be unnerving at times though, and based on what you said, it may be a bit much.

Never got a chance to post my One Piece and Bleach thoughts because they weren't out before work
Bleach
That face on Unohana was incredible, I'm also looking forward to seeing what Ichigo and Renji do to defeat or gain the acceptance of the original Zampaktos.
One Piece
Franky, Nami, and Usopp all need to get more fights and spot light because they're awesome. Reactions to General Franky were incredible
All in all 3 very enjoyable chapters this week

I never thought a day would come when I could legitimately laugh due to something DTL would say.
I tip my hat off for you, sir.
NARUTO
Well...... certainly better than what I expected.
BLEACH
Teacher passing to student trope will mean that Unohana is going to be offed?
But I really, really like her Awesome stuff though. Awesome stuff.
ONE PIECE
I think this is the time for me to stop reading One Piece for a while. I'll resume reading it when it has collected bunch of chapters to read them all in one go. I find it tiresome to read One Piece one chapter at a time nowadays.

I really wish i could stop reading the big 3 for while and let them build up but that not going to happen .
As for letting OP build up you can always try reading it by vols which is 10 or 11 chapters .
It's how a good chuck of the Japanese fan base read if you go by numbers .
That's how most low-ranking series stay afloat.
Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan would always rank in the bottom 5 in Jump, but had amazing Volume sales, managing to keep it around for 210 chapters.
But yeah, most adult One Piece readers wait for the volumes. I remember reading Arlong Park waaay back when Volume 42 came out, and one of the Japanese-living forum users (an American that lives in Japan) mentioned a lot of girls were crying when they saw Chopper's Monster Point, noting that most readers in Japan wait for the volumes rather than buy Jump.

Not really surprising a huge amount of OP fan base are adults so they just buy the Vols .
The same can be said for other series where the fan base just wait for the Vols also.
What is going to be interesting is seeing Jump circulation number when the each of the big 3 done .
What did I do?? Also the way you edited your post makes it sound like you're leaving home with a piece of toast in your mouth.

It's a shame that it started out to be what seemed like a one shot and branched out the character arc. Then it was decided that it was best not pursue that route, or something. I was hoping for it to be like Mel Kano or Hatsukoi Limited where character arcs switch but still exist and make cameo appearances in future arcs.
Eh it's only 1~2 days out of the week. It feels more oppressive than daunting, unlike the anime thread.
Bleach
Awesome chapter because Ichigo is finally about to get in a fight, and Unohana is somehow more badass than Kenpachi. Dis gon be gud.
Naruto
Does this qualify as deus ex machina? Because it stinks of deus ex machina. I'm not impressed, and was kinda bored with the Shikaku flashback. This is the first time since the chuunin exam that I've cared about Sasuke. No, I didn't care when Orochimaru tried stealing his body in Shipuuden.
One Piece
Franky is a boss. I never tire of the reaction shots. LOL! I'm glad GAF got on the case and determined that it was Aokiji. I honestly had no idea. Not much happened this chapter, but it was nice seeing Usopp and Nami doing something. Was anyone else bothered by how Kabuto was able to fire munition larger than its opening? PEACE.

It was explained to you like 8 chapters ago so no, its not a deus ex machina. Misusing the deus ex and calling any sort of plot development you don't like a deus ex is kind of silly - this plot development isn't any more or less out of the blue than any other manga plot development.
A deus ex would be Minato escapes from the Demon seal spontaneously and kills all the bad guys.

Man i don't know what they unhappy about they has 3 week vacation from 2 day wednesday .
On a side note the HxH movie made 5 million so far Togashi set for while even if he don't do any chapter for Vols
Mahoraba - It has a pretty heavy focus on comedy.
Hoshi no Furu Machi - more traditional shounen romance, but good art and well written.
Both are complete, so no cliffhangers to bother you.

I'll probably just read it in every 10 chapters or so.
Reading One Piece lately has been a rather tiresome affair for me; I just read it by going through the motion, like a robot, no excitement, no wonderment, no amusement... nearly everything save for a little comedy here and there just felt flat.
Maybe by reading it in a bunch instead of just one by one I can find One Piece enjoyable again *shrugs*
Yes but this would also be incredibly awesome, so it would be forgivable.
But I don't keep a list of manga/manwha I read/have read.

Well the games didn't last long.
Well the games didn't last long.
8 chapters ago is almost 3 months ago, with all the breaks. You can't expect me to remember anything past last month. It was all rocks falling everywhere and Rin this, Rin that, eye-hax dreamland and "You should give up trying." "No never...datebayo." I completely forgot this little bit of asspull had been explained before. Now that you mention it, he did heal one-eye and bowlcut with it. But still, this massive scale chakra distribution is some major league bullshit. PEACE.

So which tablet is better to read mangas on, Nexus or iPad?
No, and I hope it's not a sign of Toriko forgetting its story and having countless fight until the end, like a vast majority of shounen.
The world and history of Toriko are so fascinating. I think it's on par, maybe even higher, than One piece, in term of vastness and variety.

Clash? If Aokiji shows up what the fuck is Doflamingo going to do about it? He'll probably turn right back around.
iPad 3 + ComicGlass = ownage
Who knows, it'll spark some Haki debate though. Aokiji might be able use Haki as a shield (which I've yet to see Luffy do, so who knows if he's impervious to Dofla's ability- Jozu definitely couldn't do it, and he was only able to use if offensively) or Doflamingo could use Haki to hit Aokiji. It's like Kizaru and Rayleigh again, but on a different scale.
