Do you hate digital in principle or is it actually of a lower quality than print?

Search is back now so you can look at the posts a member did until the moment happened
I guess it could be seen as that.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't see anything in his recent history that would reasonably draw a ban. I can only assume self-inflicted.
Maybe this one :
I guess it can be seen as a "Was this thread necessary" post.
The post in the Obama thread could be interpreted as thread whining.

Sure DRM and the like is BS, but simply, I just much prefer reading a physical copy. I mean its just such a peeve of mine I would pick another language up to read something like Sket Dance or Seven Seeds. Japanese just seems like it would take a while to learn.

That was a harrowing 30 minute ban for Kusagari.

I bet that showed him and he learned his lesson.
Truth is, the mod probably didn't want to enrage WednesdayGAF.
I know I was freaked out.

That was a sad sad SAD day for Manga-GAF.
Discussions must've dropped like a rock. :lol

I don't think so. I think the discussions were all about people getting banned.

nvm
Taking a quick look at 2012, the only new series that managed to chart were
Alice in the Country of Hearts
Dawn of the Arcana
Earl and Fairy
So clearly from this extremely small sample size, the only way for Cross Manage to be saved by US sales is if it undergoes a genre shift to a shoujo manga.
Dude, Breh, Homie.
Just yesterday I was thinking "Where the fuck has Glass Rebel been at"?

Joujuu Senjin!! Mushibugyo 1-17
Once again I read a manga that apparently is getting an anime adapation which I wasn't aware of when I first started reading. Anyway, the manga itself has been an enjoyable so far. Story about a MC joining a group that hunt huge bugs seemed kinda lame at first until I actually started reading it. The MC himself is your average young, hyperactive protagonist that wants to the best _____ there ever was (Samurai this time). He kinda sucks with using swords and would be better off using another weapon since all his best moves have been with him using his abnormal strength in combination with the sword handle. Art has been good so far especially the monster bugs, though not so much with some of the characters.
Tokage no Ou 11
Protagonist is barely sane although now he's missing a lot of his fingers and a ear after being cut off from punching the guy. Girl is still at the site but now she's with the eyeball and licking the jar its in. Probably another death is coming in the next chapter as well. Oh and were still in this goddamn prologue.
Shokugeki no Soma 16
Rival seems actually interesting. He's still going to lose though.
Dragons Rioting 1
Getting this out of the way: Black/Blue haired girl > Red head. MC actually not being a total weakling is a nice change of things and might actually make things enjoyable when the fanservice has run its course.

I dont think id read a series about bug killing, but the anime pv made it look really exciting and the main character design and one other character do look interesting in it.
What discussions
Yeah, less flame wars are always a good thing imo
Number Five vol 4
Are those recap pages in volume 4? Did Matsumuto realize that people weren't able to follow his story or something so he added them? Oh well, they didn't help that much since they didn't tell me anything new. This volume turned down the crazy levels. Just a simple flashback exploring Viktor's past, his relation to Number Five, and why Number One is the saviour of the world.

Any other well known series that tanked in France?

It's too bad there is no print to order option for manga volumes. Would help make out of print stuff from being super expensive and allow the publishers to get paid when fans later on discover a series
I know that Nodame Cantabile was stopped for a moment but the publisher picked it up again.
Jojo's part 6, Stone Ocean, was selling 150 units/volume.
Also, gag mangas always tank in France but they try to publish every volume. Gintama's releases are so slow... Like, six months two volumes.
I'm sure SKET Dance will follow the same path even though Kazé (which belongs to Viz) publishes it.

WTF @ this Magi episode????????????????
There are different kinds of insanity. But then again, Glas no Kamen covers most of them!
(right off the bat, with Maya and her tickets...)
I love the main cast of Glass Mask; Maya, the totally-lesbian rival girl that's completely obsessed with Maya and the teacher are deliciously psychotic.

I wonder if this Naruto flashback will actually explain Hashirama apparently being offed by some mook in a random war.
JoJo did this bad?
Any idea about Moyashimon or Honey and Clover? I always heard they never did that well anywhere.

Bomb Heaven (one shot)
Aniki was pretty nice even if he had no money and relied on his younger brother for everything. Forty pages of some emotional stuff, some fun, backstory, and tears. Though I really enjoyed it and liked the concept being explored, always a favorite prompt. Though, as usual the ending
