When I started reading it, I thought it was mindless fun, but then I caught up and had to read it on a weekly basis. Not that fun anymore.

^I'm reallly wanting to read Haikyuu, as I love Volleyball, but I have too much I'm wanting to read right now.
That's how I was for the first couple arcs, but when it got to the tower arc with Erza's(I think that's her name, armor chick) past and all that stuff it just kind of got dumb with all the end stuff.
It's understandable to still be reading it, it's hard to stop reading something your used to reading for a while, but I'm surprised the amount of crap Naruto gets when Fairy Tail mostly goes on unchecked. At least until something overly dumb happens.

People complain about Fairy Tail every week, there's just less people reading it compared to Naruto so it gets crapped on less.

I think the difference is that no one here pretends that Fairy Tail was good. We Naruto fans are only so vocal, because of the decline in quality. FT never had that problem.

I think if I tried to discuss why Fairy Tail sucks in any sort of detail my blood pressure couldn't handle it.
Fairy Tail
I could rage, I could say I called it, but I'm just going to quote myself from last week, and walk away.
This shit is getting monotonously ridiculous.
Lol at DTL writing off Erza so easily, should put as much faith in her as you do Natsu.

Here is my contribution for this version of the manga thread. I couldn't hold it in and I don't know where else to go.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Yeah the art is meh (some panels are not that bad though) and I agree with cast part.
I do like Tanaka, Hinata... Well, the main players of Karasuno. But since tons of characters have the same design and don't have a real gimmick making them unique, it's hard for them to become likeable.
That's what I liked about Eyeshield 21. They slowly built the team and each character had a real background (+ the characters weren't clones with a different haircut) so it was easier to get attached to them.
Still, I enjoy reading Haikyuu!!.

How else is he going to pretend to be amazed by the development.
I'm not complaining!

With the way series quickly get cancelled in WSJ could any series really succeed presently by slowly and meticulously developing and building each character in its debut year? I thought people disliked gimmicks to make characters unique, gauging posts people dislike it in kurokos basketball

You're forgetting someone.
Leave it to Mashima to play with the emotions so well. The power of friendship shockingly pulls through again.
Yeah, I just read the spoilers and this shit's just dumb as hell.
Well, Eyeshield 21 managed to do it.
It was more popular than Haikyuu!! though (IIRC its average ranking was 4th or 5th at the time).
I originally started reading Fairy Tail because of the heightened Gerrard trolling talk in the manga thread, and to be quite honest it wasn't that bad to read through despite being average.
Although after going through pretty much the exact same schtick in every arc for the billionth time...
If only I didn't read the thread back then, then I'd be an outside spectator looking in, much like I am with KNIM.

Well that was like 12 or so years ago, I think itd be struggling in the current jump lineup of 2013 maybe.

LOLOLOL @ the Fairy Tail reactions of the fucking obvious.
i see my dropping of it is still being constantly rewarded.

Age has nothing to do with it, Hunter x Hunter is 15 years old, and Togashi only has to bother to do one volume (or even less) for the year to pimp slap some sales.
I still haven't seen a manga that was canceled that had absolutely no business getting canceled (well uh Nura, but the treatment it got makes up for it). They always screw up in one way or another that makes me accept it if they get the axe. Double Arts included.
Whether they built up slowly or exploded right off the bat has nothing to do with it.
It just needs to be interesting.

Kaiji: Kazuya Arc (Part 4) chapter 6
Anyone else keeping up with this? I love how Kazuya's book has a game like that, its bizarre normally but completely normal in the Fukumotoverse.
Mild spoiler of the upcoming arc but someone told me that there

This would be fine if it didn't mean another 50 chapters of going nowhere before they inevitably
hook up again

Yea but they do cancel things that have potential to become better pretty often, Double Arts may have been slow to get off the ground but it definitely had potential to be great. It was certainly better than the mangaka's next work.

I thought Enigma could have been pretty good. It seemed like they took too long to get into the powers and everything else, and by time it did it was already at the bottom of the rankings.
It still lasted 7 volumes though, so I guess it lasted longer than alot of the other stuff that's gotten cancelled.
I know right?
I just wanted a Reina expy, okay?
Okay?!
My knowledge of KNIM is all second-hand (+ having read Suzuka). I think it improves the experience.
Double Arts just didn't seem like it had longevity despite the backstory it was building. I mean, it's a fairly limiting battle shounen gimmick.

Haikyuu!! 39
I liked their Osu Fight moment, reminded me of vongola fight. It seemed he put some of the previous jokes about the players into this match, Asahi's looking like an adult, being 5th year held back, and one or two more. I also think I can identify all of the Karasuno players now. Crow page was best page as well as the moment when Tanaka and Nishinoya were all excited.

DeadGirl Box just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
It depends. Like, if it's obvious that there's enough subtle differences that it's re-drawn each time then I think it's great. Especially because of that flip book effect where the pages kind of go together to form an action. Basically, One-Punch Man's chapters that were put in gif form are the perfect example of this.
On the other hand, if it's to save on time redrawing panels ... well ... :/
Considering the anime is done, Anshin'in can come back now. She need to say she was off taping the anime version if she does though, anything less would be a disappointment.

Last Game 15
Alright, tired of Souma's bullshit. Go away. And let's move things along with Yanagi and Kujou.

I actually enjoyed this chapter considering a good chunk of it was about Shitty Souma. It was nice to get more insight to his character. KujouxYanagi scenes were great as usual. It seems like development is moving along quite well, and quickly, so I'm hoping the next chapters progress things further. I hope they don't draw this shit out.

Fairy Tail 315
Chapters like these are often leading reasons why I occasionally would rank Hunter x hunter as best of the genre over Fairy Tail. Although I accurately predicted that they would lose in the subsequent chapter, the events were just really unfulfilling. Perhaps because Natsu already gave the best friendship speech this arc, and Gray Fullbuster gave us a marvelous spectacle, Erzas fight just ended up being way too quick, like an abridged friendship speech "slap in the face to nakama" ---> "swordstrike". I just didnt feel nothing. Maybe if it were more emotional and she got some new exquip or swordskill it would have been better, and of course if she actually did win the points that make it a much much better chapter.

No wonder that Ichigo was not close to Zangetsu before. Hichigo was also Zangetsu, so in essence Ichigo not being close to Zangetsu means that Ichigo was not close to his hollow as well. Ichigo has always rejected his hollow, and by doing that he rejected Zangetsu as well.

Same place Kubo gets his story material I suspect.
