LOL what a coincidence to fuck up everything.

Wow really? I always though Shaman King was kinda popular. From what I read at least it was quite enjoyable.
Last I remember of Shaman King, it was canceled exactly because it wasn't popular, but since fans kept asking about it and the author was interested in giving it a proper end, the publisher said if they got 20000 requests (or something like that) from fans to have the ending published, they would.
I hadn't ever heard of Stan Lee having anything to do with reviving SK.

And it was published. I liked it.
At least he ships the canon pairing!
Only involvement I can think of with Stan Lee is Ultimo.

FYI manga sales get only one time boost when the anime airs and that´s immediate volume that sells after the amine is published. Bleach got a boost from 800k to 1.1 million sold volumes, and that´s when the anime aired. Most manga get a boost when the anime airs. Toriko for example only got a 100k boost when the anime aired. Bleach is the 4/5/6 best selling manga SJ has. There is no way in hell it would be cancelled.

I wish Ultimo had worked out instead of becoming an annual manga series...
I think its an odd thought to imagine it being cancelled in its final arc.

That's like asking if Aizen is a troll.
For me it's just my weekly rage fix with some nice tit and panty shots. It still enjoy seeing Haruto fucking up. Sometimes it's just too good.
I still have to finish it, but yes, Shaman King is pretty awesome.
Hunter x Hunter
Just a heads up in case some people didn't see it, the recent anime episode had a full Zoldyck silhouette with (I think, since she's the only family member said to be alive but not shown yet) Zeno's wife/Killua's grandmother.
Offender in question:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think she was ever shown even in silhouette form (unless it was in some crazy obscure databook or something), so uh yeah.

Good, now I have a perfectly understandable reason for reading this. Except masochism.
I've notice that I'm really, really slow to get through this particular series...

Oh, it will get better (or worse, depending on how you see it). There will be moment where you want to rip someones head off. It's wonderful.

This is basically the equivalent of a dying man doing something crazy, knowing he won't be alive to have to deal with the consequences.
So, my sister and I just finished the Thriller Bark arc.
My god, what a piece of shit. SO BORING. Full of characters that aren't engaging at all and a villain that was annoying at best. HULK-LUFFY was laughable, and the only good part of the arc was the recruitment of Brook, who my sister thinks is pretty funny, and all of the scenes involving Zoro.
That, and once Kuma stepped in, shit got kind of real, the very end of the arc was exciting, but man was everything before that boring. We ended up completely skimming/skipping through some of the episodes (as I knew what was/wasn't important in the grand scheme of things).
Thank god that's over.

Life is Money (caught up)
Damn this is crazy. Everyone are a bit too easily influenced, but aside from that, I love everything. Crazy stuff.
Just please let MC get spirit next time. Breaking down is fine and all but I like him most when he's the only logical person out of all of them (well besides the white hair handband dude but he's too low profile right now).
tl;dr I am very happy with this

What did you think of the animation and the pacing?
Dat Docking animation.
Also, agreed with Stat mostly. TB was off to a bad start, and shit didn't get real yet until Kuma popping in/the Oars fight (though the crew splitting up and getting ready to throw it down after being awoken was hype). Sabaody's good fun though.
Animation was pretty solid. There were some stellar parts and some okay parts. The animation for the Zoro vs Kuma episode and subsequent episode was fantastic.
Pacing? It was blah. I didn't care about most of the stuff going on up until the end so yeah, my idea of pacing in the arc is probably inaccurate.

Murphy's Law in full effect here. Holy shit. Dat tension.

Still better than the best parts of Bleach and Naruto
Love in Hell 1-6
A funny little manga about a dude that goes to hell for the sins he committed. Obviously he goes there without clothes so the only solution the devil tasked in taking care of him offers is to make him wear this. Also these devils are different than the ones in TLR, their weak point is their horns. Oh and the MC later gets a job in Amazon
Wish more chapters were out.

No.
Actually, we were so bored during some of the OP episodes that to stop ourselves from falling asleep we watched the Ichigo vs Grimmjow fight animated and it woke us back up, so that we could continue watching OP.
Thermae Romae vol 3
The plan tototally backfired in a funny/awesome way.have Lucio killed
His commotion after trying Ramen? Priceless.
I'm wondering, are the pages (and pages) of talks from the author translated in the scanlations?
If you mean the stuff at the end of each chapter then yeah, they were translated.
Yep that's what I meant.
Lots of respect for the scanlators then, cause there's a lot of text in those pages.
Yes. The arcs in Bleach are way more badly paced than Thriller Bark (even Soul Society) and the fights in Bleach fucking suck too. If I wanted to watch YGO shit, I'd watch that instead. A bunch of twinkies shooting lasers out of their swords =/= entertaining fights.
Falling for such cheap bait? I thought you were better than this, Stat.
A Town where you ZZZZ
Even Rin shenanigans can't elicit a response from me anymore. This manga really is dead.
No they don't!
YOU CAN BREAK THE CYCLE

Now if only they can release more than 4 chapters
I have no friends 23
One of the weirdest "meet my family" chapters I ever read.
Also no Yozora so the chapter is all good.
I wish I was mad, more like sad that Bleach will never be as good as the first arc in the series.

Please. The first arc of bleach is boring as shit. I would've dropped the series had it kept up the monster of the week nonsense
So actual character development, good action, good focus on the story, an actual funny shit is "boring"? Oh lawdy. Yeah ALL manga should stop trying to tell a story
Boku No Tomo
Hmmm. HMMMMM. Yeah, chapter was kind of empty, but at least we learned some things. Right? No, I guess not.
Still a good set up for Kodaka X Sena. Fuck Yozora, Sena is obviously the better route. Oh, right, on the substance side, I guess we saw that
Uh...yeah.

Kodaka didn't exactly find his dad to be a deadbeat.
Yeah basically. It got great when Byakuya and Renji stopped by to beat the shit out of Ichigo...and then the following Urahara training was damn fun. Things before that though were boring.
