One Piece

Wow, guess the Mink tribe is serious business. I can't actually recall if Zoro has been forced to block like that since post-timeskip, immediately switched to two swords as well. Overall fun chapter, seems we're going to get right into the nitty-gritty since the other half has been here for a while.

Also +1 for Bepo being part of the tribe. Would make sense with how they could get there in the first place.

Shokugeki spoilers!

Spoiler

The entire chapter is Eizan smugface.

Short version: Eizan says he's shutting down PSD. Soma asks if he's allowed to shokugeki his way to keeping it open. Eizan says that Central has agreed to allow any organization to do it, but the stakes are extra high (keeping the organization bet against expulsion of the participant). Skewer guy fights Eizan and gets expelled because Eizan straight up cheats and rigged the judging.

Spoiler

He violated the "sanctity" of a Shokugeki!

Well, that's it, he is the big bad villain of the series, that's the worst you can do in a series called "Shokugeki no Soma", lol.

This guy is a nasty little imp. Its pretty obvious he is going to get beaten by Soma next.

My mass guess is that Soma isn't going to do the challenge and instead Erina will do it. It's basically her character arc and she has to stay "better" than Soma.

Nah

Spoiler

Soma winning will somehow help Erina come out of her shell, at best she'll prevent the blatant cheating

Love how the last page is basically this

Spoiler

I don't think that's a foregone conclusion. If their goal was really to save the dorm, you think they'd have either Isshiki or Erina take the challenge given they are demonstrably superior to Soma. Although, I suppose it might be impossible given she's in hiding.

 

[Erigu]

Probably HunterxHunter. That only took 54 chapters before its anime adaptation was announced.

Saint Seiya was even faster: the TV series began less than a year after the manga.

To reiterate what I said in the anime thread, there's no way Boku no Hero is going to get a full adaptation regardless so its not a big deal if they go for the anime now.

Is this a pessimistic statement due to most shonen jump series not getting full anime adaptations anymore for one reason or another?

Basically. The only ones in recent years that have are Naruto, One Piece. HxH would count if the manga had actually finished before Togashi died.

Yeah though we still do get seasons for things like Gintama and I imagine Nisekoi will likely get a 3rd season to finish adapting the manga in a year or two considering how close that is to ending. Its really hard to say either way especially now with stuff like HxH and JJBA getting "full adaptations" years later.

Sure but the "early" stuff didn't end up making a difference on those.

 

[Turin Turambar]

To reiterate what I said in the anime thread, there's no way Boku no Hero is going to get a full adaptation regardless so its not a big deal if they go for the anime now.

The thing is, you have to look at it in a more cynical way to understand it: the time to adapt a manga to anime is not when it's finished, but precisely when it's ongoing and it's starting to be popular. Because they are doing the anime in the first place as a marketing tool for the manga. It would be a bit pointless if the manga is closed already, they could have a bump in the back catalog sales, but it's better when it's ongoing.

Yeah, still waitin for the Ruroni Kenshin readaptation to finish the manga story that seems like it'd be an easy and prime candidate for it.

[Big One]

One Piece 804 B

Pretty damn good chapter this week again. Carrot looks cool and the Ryonosuke thing was hilarious (i'm actually looking forward to TOEI doing an entire episode around that scene, lol).

It's pretty obvious by the destruction that these intruders are probably Weevil and his mom. It's the same type of destruction we've seen already with him.

Carrot looks pretty cool as well.

Arc giving me Skypeia vibes with architecture reminding me of Babylon.

Bleach 648 D

Zzzzz...please get this arc done with. These "fights" are getting duller and duller. Kubo is the master at artificially extending his series for no reason other than making money by filling your manga with 95% of random fights with various characters.

Toriko 344 C

We were at end game...now we're backtracking a bit? This manga needs to make up it's mind! Maybe it'll be another year or so till this finishes perhaps. Either way solid chapter and it's nice to see a bit of "God" as well.

 

[AquaWateria]

Huh, might give it a try. Though I can't say that what little i've seen of chara designs and art excites me much.

Hoshino Katsura is a top tier artist, the only reason her art degraded later on in the series was because of her chronic wrist injury. However, her art currently has gotten a lot better because she isn't as stressed as she was when she had a weekly and monthly schedule.

She's a pretty detailed artist and one of my favorite Shonen Jump artist.

It would be a bit pointless if the manga is closed already, they could have a bump in the back catalog sales, but it's better when it's ongoing.

That's kind of what I'm saying: it doesn't matter and it will never finish, so I wouldn't be all that concerned about an early adaptation.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Yeah, still waitin for the Ruroni Kenshin readaptation to finish the manga story that seems like it'd be an easy and prime candidate for it.

The common thread in the series that got re-adaptations and such were that they sold ridiculous numbers. I don't really know how Boku no Hero is doing, but I don't think its quite that kind of number yet. Something like Attack on Titan is pretty much guaranteed to have every single part adapted even if Isayama took another 5 years on it.

 

[BassForever]

I dunno if I missed it here but apparently Isobe Isobee Monogatari is getting an anime? What the heck is it even about I don't think anyone here is reading it unless I'm super blind.

I wonder if they would do another remake of HxH, continue from where they left off, do both, or just not even return to it ever.
