I still feel the English edition title kind of sucks, and I'm glad they went with what I feel is a more fitting translation (especially given the content of the manga) for the Italian edition (which would translate to The attack of the giants in English).

Nobody is going to argue with that.

Hokuto no Ken is one of my favourite manga but after reaching part 3 I have to give it to JoJo. Need more drawings explaining the crazy tactics though!

If you take a look at chapter 72-73 from Angel Densetsu, you can see a glimpse of what the author saw. He probably liked those characters and made a new world for them. He didn't change the personalities nor their specific looks nor their specific relationship. Looks inspired to me.

Have the Fairy Tail fans here read Rave Master?

Going to have to agree. That panel was beautiful.
Haqua > everyone though in the end, though Ayumi has to be girl #1
Chihiro and Haqua > Ayumi!

Elder Kwon kicking ass, shit going down, yada yada yada
and I still don't know what they're talking about half of the time.

I'm not sure I like the episodic nature of this manga. At least next chapter seems to be a continuation of this one.

Chihiro and Haqua are the best girls by far.
My nakama, and you like Nyaruko too, you're good people.

So, is the next chapter the finale? I'm asking because this chapter definitely feels like a "wrapping it up" chapter. Everything from overcoming their final hurdle with Eiji to taking time to portray what the other authors were doing was covered. And the mention of the uncle at the end really felt like they've come full circle.

Should be.
They got their goal, they showed what the other characters are up to, they beat the other dude and now he has to propose. Only thing preventing it from an end is Nanamine 3.0

I've read RaVe a loooooooooooooong time ago but never finished it.
I should have the DVD Boxset somewhere in my home~
...but really...FT is a generic shonen, I don't see it being very impressive but it's fun to read if you don't mind that kind of stuff.
Gajeel>all though~
If it's the final chapter can't they just double the pages count and cover all of that?

Detective Conan:
Holy shit, that ending was a long time coming. The plot has been moving at a pretty rapid pace lately. Subaru is just a boss, and that ending confirms a lot of stuff. I'm glad to see that this case is focusing on all of that, and it looks like the current arc probably doesn't have that much time left in it. I can't wait to see where things go next.
I think they need three more chapters in order to complete the volume, so that seems like a likely amount to me. Besides, I think three chapters would make sense. 176 just being Mashiro and Miho together and having the proposal, 177 focusing on the actual wedding, and 178 wrapping everything up with all the characters.

We would know about extra pages from this week's preview (it said nothing, just CP)
Counting next week, three more chapters would be ideal for a volume, plus it's just at the start of the next Jump cancellation batch. They could just as easily work with 2 more chapters, though.
And Conan is starting to rapid fire? Could it be ending? That would be pickles and wallnuts.

Yeah, two chapters would also be possible. It depends on how they pace things next chapter.
I don't think it's ending any time soon, but the current story arc is definitely wrapping up. There's too many ongoing plot threads and character arcs for the series to end in the near future, though.

What Conan plot is progressing? Is he gonna crack the Organization soon? I quit Conan because the Organization appeared in like 50 to 100 chapters intervals, the plot never progressed.

Why did they stop before?
Hahaha I love the end. Looks like they needed an excuse to make a joke out of it.
I'm fine with that scenario since OP always comes out when I'm asleep/at work anyway. The recent translations have been pretty silly.

Bunch of people went to Viz's site/facebook and said "But why pay when you can dance with orangutans at <insert full HTTP address of MS>?!?!" on the subject of Alpha, and Viz retaliated

The fury of Bulgaria haha.
Viz stopped them. A C&D due to SJ Alpha.
By the way, I'm hearing Viz isn't doing so well lately. How true is that?

That is good at least we will be getting some better translations .
They had there problems but man it was better than what we have now.

Ok, that's good. I thought it might be one of those stupid scanlation wars again.

It must be killing Loki to release the MS versions after the aggregate sites' crap versions, but good news nonetheless. Almost makes me want to mosey over and see how those guys are doing these days.
Should have left it as Advance of the Giants /practicalperson

Hmm interesting news...
I'm looking for recommendations again.
Here's what I've read so far, including my opinions:
Berserk (incredible)
Claymore (awesome)
Gantz (awesome, although I don't like everything post-invasion as much as everything before)
Shingeki no Kyojin (not bad)
Übel Blatt (it's nice.)
Vinland Saga (great)
20th Century Boys (very nice)
Death Note (awesome)
Hellsing (awesome)
Monster (very nice)
Pluto (it's okay. wouldn't read it again.)
Trigun (dropped after 20 chapters. don't like the setting and the characters, and the comedic elements)
Elfen Lied (read it long time ago when it was still running. it's nice, but I never felt like reading the remaining chapters to the end)
Blade of the Immortal (dropped after 2 chapters. don't like the setting.)
When I asked here the last time, people recommended me Kamisama no Iutoori and Vagabond (among some other mangas I have already read since then). The former is pretty short, I'm looking for something that keeps me excited for a longer period of time. Vagabond seems to be several times better than BotI, but well, samurai setting. Dunno.
As I mentioned in my first post back then, I prefer more serious stories and supernatural settings (not necessarily fantasy) or at least elements. Comedic elements are of course okay (I love Puck @Berserk), but please not too much.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. This. If you'll only read one, make it JoJo.
Also, Sanctuary and Hokuto no Ken. Do eeett.
I don't have much to offer here but based on the above alone, you might wanna try Liar Game. It has no fantasy but all of the mindgame.
