Thinking about Naruto, I do have to lol at the fact that people were like "OMG Lee badass" when he kicked Madara "in half". As if that did anything. That was like a gnat trying to attack an elephant. It won't do shit. The guy didn't take down four kages at the same time with clones just to get damaged by some chump who got a lame powerup after getting shoulder daps from his friend.

I remember when Lee was awesome.

Why is a bi-monthly magazine even allowed? :(
Yeah, I know, the insanely detailed art doesn't draw itself.
And it could be worse. Yes, I'm looking at you Berserk and HxH.

Saw everyone else reading it; thought "why the hell not?" (Still need to start "Aunt Tits/whatever-its-real-name-is"). Really impressed with it with just the one chapter. I'm really digging the character designs, and Amira's awesome.

I'm still trying to work out where he got his motivation for anything after killing Itachi, even if we stretch it to Danzo that should have been it right there.

Unless the Hokages reveal anything he really only needs to kill the two advisers and he is done.

It's like Downton Abbey but without the season 3 bullshit.

Haha, see this is what I was talking about. Nobody ever defends Naruto.

Naruto had some great arc's and an interesting world with tons of potential. The problem is that I, and I guess many others, felt like Kishi took the series in a wrong direction by placing such an emphasis on Sasuke and the Uchiha's in part 2. I would have liked to see so much more of world, more self- contained arc's rather than the over-arching story about the overpowered eyeballs. I expected some kind of resolution to the Uchiha massacre, but i didnt expect the Uchiha plot to totally dominate part 2. Still, part 2 had some great moments and thought that the Pain arc, including the ending, was amazing and pherhaps the best in the series. I would have prefered to have the Rinnengan shrouded in mystery, as i feel like the tie-in with the Sharingan cheapens the impact of Nagato's role as "the chosen one". The last few years worth of chapters have also been lackluster, but hopefully Kishi has some good moments left before the ending.

So we got a dog girl and a loli in science clubs and they hate each other... or something?

This is like the "clumsy harem protagonist" thing taken to the extreme. Instead of accidental groping, we get accidental blowjobs!

It has a dog girl so I kind of have to keep reading, but this is not very good.

Well, I was planning on doing just that, and all of her other stuffs as well. I don't really have a thing for Victorian England or else I would've have picked it up a long time ago. But it's never too late.

This is where your post became bad. Cause I agreed up until that point.

The ending of the Pain arc was one of the worst things I've ever read because:

1) The start of the arc was fantastic
2) Kishi actually did something in terms of having balls

Then

He reversed it all, which by itself isn't horrific but the method by which he did it is the worst. Pain literally goes from being hate filled and pain mongering to a Naruto-Loving-Twerp in the span of five minutes.

And it's not like Naruto beat the living fuck out of Nagato and made him see it his way. They just fucking talked.

Hell no. It was horrible. It was shit. Anyone who liked that deserves this current shittastic Uchiha-fest we're getting.

to be fair to naruto he had been doing that since the beginning though, it just got really weird since it started to work before the usual physical confrontation/being beaten to a pulp

6000, ch 5-6

07CM8LS.jpg


Reading this in bed, in the dark, gives me the chills. It's really fun. Not as crazy as your usual Ito stuff, but still good. He head of the Chinese company seems to know what is going on, but everyone slowly starts to lose his shit and the accidents happen more frequently. And because the mangaka follows a pretty standard horror formula, it's no surprise that the elevator doesn't work anymore. So now everyone is trapped down there, with that one survivor from the first big accident 3 years ago, who was trapped in the dark and sealed chamber.

Oh, great! I completely overlooked the fact that 6000 is not completed yet and that the scanlations are pretty slow. The last chapter was released 89 days ago and ends with a wonderful cliffhanger.

I'm such an idiot.

God that was stupid and disappointing and stupid, half way though I stopped reading and was just looking at the pictures, maybe if I was into tentacle porn I'd enjoy this more.

This arc of sorts is pretty interesting just to see how many points the protag can hopefully score at the end of it. And, if the future will be changed or not.

Click to expand...

Tournament arc. Kids eat that shit up.

*looks at other rankings* Ouch at Bleach in the bottom five.
I can see Cross Manage, Kiruko and Hungry Joker being next on the chopping block. Cross Manage was lucky that Date-senpai was an awful series.

Good on Soma for doing well. It's so crazy that I can see it having a healthy life in Jump.

"Absent: One Piece" *sighs*

Darn another series I like at the bottom, I think that had to have been the exposition and no action hungry joker chapter? at least Souma, Haikyuu are doing well. Hopefully in a few weeks World Trigger is up there too.

Though cross manage and kiruko must be dropped first. 19 chapters close to the bottom is just not good.
