Naruto

Never occurred to me that the cursed seals is a way for Orochimaru to revive himself. We seen it it happened with Sasuke during the fight with Itachi who cut the seal off of him.
Well, it was originally thought that was because Sasuke reversed the body transfer justsu thing on orochimaru until Kishi introduced this horcux aspect in this latest chapter.
 
One Piece

I like how OP Caesar is, that's exactly what I expect from a Logia. It's obvious that Luffy is just going to beat him while holding his breath though. I mean he already has an attack that involves taking one large breath.

I loved the cameos at the end too. Oda just constantly reinforces the idea that characters are actually doing things when off-panel. It's things like that which really sell the scope of the world and make everything feel fleshed out.
 
Seishun Kouryakuhon vol 2 End

Well, this is definitely not what I expected from a shoujo manga. There was barely any romance or misunderstandings or any of that crap. It was mostly about the 4 boys crying and being sad that their high school life is gonna be over and they have to part ways. I guess having the settings in an all boys high school makes it hard to have a lot of romance. There was the Uemura-Haru thing, but that was only one chapter. We also did get this one funny page about them

I liked how the last chapter was very similar to the first chapter of the series. Both involving Isezaki trying to beat time to get to Nagise and confess to her.
 
Good Ending dropped by the team translating it. My rage is at a higher level than from reading any chapter of the series.
Still, if it frees up resources for them to work on something else, then that's a net benefit, I suppose.

That almost seems like the pieces in place to make it like kimi to boku, guess I ought to look into it.
 
Naruto: F+

Ayo. What the fuck is up with this shit? Why does Sasuke seem so goddamn bipolar or something? Dude is like, chill, then sad, then hype, then mad, then chill, then apathetic, then sad, then chill again. Like, what the fuck?

OROCHIMARU IS BACK? YEAH. YEAH HE IS. Do you see how long Kabuto lasted? That's right, he was simply a shitty plot device to reintroduce Orochimaru. Fuck Kabuto. Anyway, the method by which Orochimaru was brought back was so stupid. I don't expect anything more at this point.

So it's obvious that the 'they' is Sasuke's parents. But really though dawg? REALLY? JUST FUCKING GO KILL SHIT ALREADY. THATS ALL YOURE GOOD FOR IN THIS MANGA. NARUTO CRIES. YOU KILL. Goddamn. Fuck Naruto.

There were some nicely drawn and badly drawn panels in this too.

Bleach: A-

This chapter was pretty goddamn epic even though not much happened as far as developing the actual plot. Seems like Kubo really wanted to put a lot into making the situation seem dire. Do you guys remember the scene in Naruto where he could hear all the voices of the war after he stepped out of the turtle or whatever he was doing? Yeah, that was dumb and unconvincing. This was like that, but awesome. Soul Society is getting fucked every which way, and now it seems like the Quincy have some kind of mind control shit going on? Where do their abilities end?

Also, a very good last few pages for a buildup to the cliffhanger. Catching Urahara offguard is something we don't see often, I'm trying to think of who it could be, but I'm pretty sure it isn't Grimmjow. I mean, it could be, but at the same time, wasn't there a Quincy Arrow shot into Urahara at the end there? Wouldn't that mean it's a Quincy/Shinigami double attack going on there?

Either way, a pretty awesome chapter overall. And some of those panels were fucking drawn GREAT.

Well this is a fun series. Guy afraid of girls goes to a mostly all girls school. Hijinks occur!

It has the starting of a harem series, but since it ends pretty early and quickly, it never really goes anywhere from there. The lead is pretty cool, a little average but not that spineless.

Just the school stuff is pretty fun and it was a good read.
 
TWGOK has no wrong girls.
You're sending me mixed signals man, but NAKAMA.
Except horrible Shogi girl
Nah Minami (aka swimming girl with hair that can't be straightened) is the worst.
What's wrong with Tsukiyo? What's wrong with Sumire? My goodness, this is the second manga I've ever actually read so I thought I'd come in here, but if someone has opinions like those I think I might have to leave again! *runs off crying*

Out of interest, does anyone know the release date of volumes 17 and 18 in Japan? I was going to pre-order them on amiami but they're out of stock and they just say mid July. I can't find a proper release date anywhere.

CDJapan says July 18th.

Does Akari count? That arc wasn't very good either. Swimming girl was like three chapters, so it wasn't that bad.
 
idk, having HALF of the chapter being pretty much recap of the past chapter was kinda bad, even for bleach.

I've seen anime padding, but manga padding... why?

I recall stopping Reborn right about near the beginning of the arc after byakura (or w/e that white hair guy's name was). I usually have a pretty high tolerance for nonsense, but even this is... yeah idk.

Does stuff pick up? I saw the title page of the newest chapter... didn't the loli die last arc?

:/

no fucking way it's sasuke's parents, they don't know shit about fuck. It's gotta be the sage of the sixth paths sons or people related to them or even all the animal sages(frogs, snakes and slugs)


Also, Alimnassor, you gonna get banned if you don't edit that post.

FOR SCIENCE!

Not a bad beginning chapters. Genius kid, girly assistant, typical stuff. Characters are decent, but it's lively and pretty fun for science!
 
Naruto


This chapter was a steaming pile of grade A shit.

Oro returning is the only positive (though it seems he's losing his edge or maybe just does not give a fuck since he didn't start this)



Bleach

Soul Society getting fucked was the only good thing about this chapter.


If the character ain't Aizen then i won't give a shit (unless its some RG member or something).
 
Brook can drown just like every other DF user plus your the same person that said not to think to deep about science in OP and you talking about bone marrow :)
Drinking milk heals bones don't bother to go into science of it , he can't regrow his hair but he not suppose to have any in the first place.

Robin looks broken at first but she is far from it she don't physical strength to back up her DF along with hurting her DF limbs gives her damage makes her fairly weak compare to the big boys.
haha, true. Brook's healing really is more milk magic than anything.

And yeah, thats how he limits Robin's brokenness. Well that and just plain making her not care unless ancient artifacts are involved. Sigh, one day she'll get a fight again....


It´s someone Urahara does not know. Hallibel is still in the dungeon.

So that greatly increases Grimjaw's chances. But I thought Kubo wrote in a databook that every Espada was dead but Halibel. Was that mistranslated or has he simply backed off of that?

If it is Grimjaw, then Kubo missed a great end chapter shot of Grimjaw's reveal. Unless he plans on doing that next chapter anyway but focusing a lot on Soul Society and Ichigo crying/freaking out (before Grimjaw breaks him out at the end).
 
I'm thinking it might be Ryuuken and Isshin? Unless that thing in Urahara's shoulder is kido or some sort of device and not a Quincy arrow...

I can't believe Kubo ended the chapter there. Son of a bitch. Grimmjow or Aizen would be awesome.
 
One Piece

Now we know what CC did to Luffy and unless he can manipulate his stuff while its in another form (liquid, solid) he just fucks with anything that is gaseous.

And Brownbeard is alive (it seems someone always fall for this shit)

LOL @ Luffy in the cell just chilling while major shit is gonna happen outside.


...what's the "Sasuke" arc.

i assume he mean't Itachi since he always shits on that one.
 
Good Ending dropped. Words from the staff:

"Go read Spoon instead." -Mooltie

"This ruined my Saturdays." "I'm glad it's gone 'cause now I can't be guilted/bribed/persuaded/taken hostage/tricked into cleaning it." -KoolKidsK

lulz
 
The arc where Sasuke was legitimately the main character of the series as he searched for Itachi with new characters that makes Modern Sonic's friends look like masterpieces of character design and charm.

What a random comparison.

Dropping GE and keeping KNIM totally computes.
 
family man
that was pretty good, cute art and interesting story, interested as to how the story will progress.

Does anyone know if this was released before or after Nowhere Boy? I want to know if I can expect a new chapter within a few months.

both are both web toon live comics so they're free to read so discussion about their releases are ok, right?

Grimmjow was never confirmed dead. Kubo has ambiguous about Grimmjow. I doubt it's him though. Grimmjow has been to the real world twice. That's more than enough for Urahara to recognize one's riatsu.
I'm thinking it might be Ryuuken and Isshin? Unless that thing in Urahara's shoulder is kido or some sort of device and not a Quincy arrow...

It can't be Isshin or Ryuuken. Urahara know them both.
Next chapter will be about what's going on in Soul Society, and the chapter after that he will take a break, causing many meltdowns and bitching :D
 
Not really, both are on the same wavelength of being shit so it works. That's scientific fact, motherfucker.

It's not a random comparison because it doesn't work, but more because Sonic the Hedgehog hasn't really been a household-name franchise since the Sega Genesis days so I can't draw the comparison.


Dropping random series is never a good sign for a scan group.
 
One Piece 674:

And yeah, thats how he limits Robin's brokenness. Well that and just plain making her not care unless ancient artifacts are involved. Sigh, one day she'll get a fight again....

That's actually one thing I'm hoping for with Monet being around. Unlike Fishman Island where Oda decided to regulate them to grunt clean up duty because all the opponents were males despite having enough male opponents to cover all the Straw Hats, Monet should be no problem for Robin or Nami to fight. And with Robin being close by, she has the best chance of getting matched up with her. That and Robin having a "flying/wing" ability to match Monet seems like a no brainer. But Oda always finds a way to mess up the female characters when it comes to getting their hands dirty (unless they look like monsters and their hands are already "dirty") and right now the main obstacle is the Zoro clone inside of Nami's body. I can easily see Oda passing on Robin yet again by having Sanji->Nami take on Monet in some lame comedic fashion ("I can never harm a female...but I can't let you hurt Nami-san's body" or something along those lines).
 
Are you guys sure it isn't TWO people attacking Urahara? It looks like that at the same time Opie is talking to Inoue (eg before he got cut in half), Urahara was already hit by the Quincy Arrow.
 
The Quincy Arrow you guys are talking about is the same one from last chapter. Kirge hit him with it with his surprise attack in 499.

Nobody attacked Urahara this chapter except the guy at the end who pointed the sword at him.
 
I'm still reading Bleach but I must not be "reading" it because I don't know what you guys are even talking about. I guess the Ghost Nazis aren't doing it for me.
 
it also really isn't a hard read. there is like at most 10 words a page for the most part lol.

That doesn't mean its interesting - the difference is that in Naruto, when its boring or dumb, there aren't armies of new characters being introduced every other page.
