No Magi next week? :(
Yeah, it's terrible. Minamoto too, I think. All these breaks man, breaks up in the everywhere lately. We might as well start counting what DOES show up next week or something, seriously now. Seriously.

That Loli-thread...my head hurts.
I saw it, made some excuse to myself about having some stuff to do, and managed to run away without posting anything. It was pretty close, lemme tell you.

Now the thread is basically a JGAF party! Funny how that works.

You must be one of those sick twisted perverts the thread's talking about!

Yeah, I'm not going in there. That shit cray.
Lots of definitions and terms getting mixed up 'n shit, I don't even know.

It's always an uproar whenever there's a thread about loli/moe.

Half the thread is just people trolling anyway.
 
I'm not sure if this got posted while I was banned, or maybe beforehand, but I found the American cover for Sankarea pretty interesting.


Blood drenched girls on a manga cover?!

The anime comments...if only the anime could have been a three episode ova and thats its (maybe four if we included one of the bonus episodes that was mindblowing).

It's actually a solid adaption of the manga, the only real problem is the open ending but that's due to the ongoing manga.

Really? I heard the exact opposite from others, which is why, as a fan of the manga, I never watched it.

Gonna have to add it to my list.

Well, it's an overall faithful adaption with above average production values, I don't know what else you could ask of it.

Wow, Ken is finally taking some action and does decisions as a boss and gang leader. All that, despite wanting to confess to his dream girl. And goddamn, He-rin, wear some pants!

Them taking the whole building is obviously the worst idea ever, but it seems to work and I don't care how illogical and impossible it would be, it's just awesome.

They seem to have improved. Even though it's just a huge brawl, they're still kicking some massive ass. I'm really curious about the gang boss. He seems to be a real monster and I hope he gives Ken some proper challenge. It would be nice to watch.
 
Cross Manage 22

Felt like an odd fanservice chapter at the girls sleepover study camp with Sakurai. Pretty dull, though cool brothers she has.

World Trigger 3

Kuga's face and expression never gets old or feels overused, I love seeing it all the time. Anyway the Marmod class neighbor appearing out of the emergence zone in chp 3 feels like the writer is trying to make this stay pretty action packed. Love the pacing. I do wonder if Border has some slightly ulterior motives, don't understand why they need to memory wipe folks, like my favorite side character, Black Usagi bully.
 
One-Punch Man 6
tumblr_mit1xa2PnB1qbxqfpo1_500.png

Really fun/funny chapter and almost emotional too, poor Genos, he has such great abilities and when he did that Incinerate move thought he'd surely win but to be driven to near self destruction, thankfully Saitama saved him from it. I hope he does become his disciple and not a loner anymore.

That Loli thread in the gaming section...

Damn it's sad to see when people automatically refuse to acknowledge your argument or they immediately input you into a certain categorization just because of your avatar.

I feel for my brothers and sisters who are getting ridiculed there simply because they have anime characters as their avatars *shakes head*

Honestly I've found arguing with some of the crazies on the gaming forum to simply not be worth it. When someone can in one post say "Every Zelda game released in the past 10 years has been bad" and "Why bother playing the other Nintendo franchises when Nintendo themselves puts no quality into anything outside of Zelda and Mario" and people agree with that poster...

I never understood the anime avatar = ignore the persons posts thing, though I did see that in that one thread about atelier games and pedophiles or whatever that thread last year was.

It's not really a mind set of "ignore person with anime avatar" but "ignore person with anime avatar in a thread that is complaining about a common anime trait". It's the same as people who complain about Nintendo but ignore users with Mario, Link, or Reggie as their avatar. Generally if someone is a big enough fan of something that they made it their avatar then they aren't really the target of the complaint thread. The Loli thread was directed towards other non anime/manga gamers and most of them seem to agree with the OP's statements sadly.
 
Aunt Tits

So she aims to please?

Tower of God

The sudden drop of "Baam" threw me off, especially when it refered to him as an it.

The shock and brutality are handled so well in this series. I barely knew the characters but still hated Rachel even more when Koon and company found the room.

Oh and Raaaaakkkkkkk!!!........and the rest of the team I guess, but Rak's all that matters.
 
The thing that gets me about those threads is that the people saying anime lolis=pedophiles probably lose their shit when the media says video game violence leads to shooting sprees, and are totally blind to that hypocrisy. Off-topic> gaming side.

You and your ridiculous banana-based face have escaped our terrifying fate.

I wonder if this avatar signifies my illicit love of tiny cats.

DB´s volume for volume sales destroys everything out there. 78 million is not bad for Bleach. I have never even heard of #3  Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen Mae Hashutsujo.

That's Kochi Kame, the longest running shonen series ever. The authour hasn't taken a single break since he started either.

I'm still surprised to this day that Bleach doesn't have drawings made by other authors like OP and Naruto had along with Jojo and DBZ. Maybe it needs to hit the 100 millions range?

In letting the manga get ahead so I can marathon, I haven't read OP since the beginning of the new arc/fishman Island.

Has any damn epic luffy moment happen since? I usually wait for a new one of those to start it back up
 
Noblesse

I FUCKING CALL IT. Real will wreck and kill them all. But this chapter is fucking horrible. I can´t believe this shit.

Tower of God

Rak is back. Hell yeah. Someone just kill Rachel already. It´s nice seeing lizard girl as well.

I haven't seen a spanking that's clearly supposed to be slightly sexual with so little fanservice in a long time. I've been enjoying this adaptation of this arc a little more than the anime version so far.

Thermae Romae's Yamazaki to Draw Manga of Apple's Steve Jobs

Thermae Romae manga creator Mari Yamazaki revealed on Tuesday that her next series will be a biography of the late Apple company co-founder Steve Jobs. She made the announcement herself during an appearance on the NHK-General talk show Studio Park Kara Konnichiwa.

When asked about her next work during the show, Yamazaki presented an profile illustration she drew of Jobs. She commented that she personally feels sympathy for one of the leading figures in the personal computer and electronics industry. The new series will run in Kodansha's revamped Kiss magazine, which is switching from a biweekly schedule to a monthly one in the May issue on March 25.​

It also looks like Thermae Romae will be ending in March. I should probably pick the hardcover up sometime.

Wow, I'll definitely read it.
 
I was looking for the Steve Jobs illustration Yamazaki showed and got this instead.

The story centers on the author's discovery of Apple computers and Photoshop during his time in high school and as is common to such Japanese tributes, reinterprets Steve Jobs as a cute woman with an eye for detail and execution with the sometimes volatile personality that he was known for.

Damn. The video game thing was great and now Oga is back, so badass.
Oga using Alindolon as a weapon was hilarious.
