AUNT TITS 73

damn, i think this dude's done goofed. a shame too as this is the best girl yet.

 

[brotkasten]

Berserk 1

Start of with some sex, I'm liking this already.... turns out to be a demon..... Rest of the chapter is me going WTF and FUCKING AWESOME!

Gotta keep reading.

Good to see that someone else joined the fun. I can't wait for your reactions.

 

[Soma]

Minamoto-kun Monogatari

Prediction: She's gonna get flustered, leaves, he goes back to his Aunt, she lectures him, in the meantime she wonder's what this strange new feeling she has for him, something cock-blocks them, rinse and repeat.

I keep reading Nickelodeon. What is happening

Dowman Sayman is such a silly writer <3

 

[Tamanon]

Aunt Tits

I think he might've made the right move for once!

 

[Soma]

Nana to Kaoru Vol 1-2

Ohohoho. Oh my.

I really wonder why it's taken me so long to start reading this.

 

[Jintor]

I only wish the hero of that story wasn't as pathetic as he is. Although that would probably take away from a lot of its point. And he's got a shonen haarto so I guess it works out.

 

[Doc Holliday]

So I started reading Hunter X HUnter again, got up to the Chimera Ant arc....

WTF, i love this manga but this arc is such a clusterfuck so far. It's so damn random with the pacing, characters and the art. Omg the art, I'm all for sketchy or stylized artwork but there were some pages where I couldn't tell who was saying what. I hope it gets better because it's becoming a chore.

 

[Bossun]

Claymore

I have so much difficulty understanding the dialogues in this manga....it seems that the characters are throwing random phrases when talking to each other.

I'm kinda lost too, so what, is everybody an awakened in the end?

Perhaps you should watch the new anime when it does that arc.

 

[PK Gaming]

One Punch Man

I just started reading this haha

 

[Doc Holliday]

Yep, that's what i'm planning on doing. My ipad fell on my face when i was trying to get through Knuckle explaining his power before going to bed...ouch!

The latest chapter is particularly bad due to the Panda translation but Claymore's plot is a gigantic mess right now since quite sometime, that much is true. Yagi has summoned pretty much every still available awakened beings to an all out battle royal.

Doesn't matter. They'll all die and have their body parts implanted in Claire eventually.

 

[BassForever]

Berserk

The second fight between Serpico and Gutts was really entertaining though too short for it's own good. Would love to see them go at it again with Serpico decked out in his magic attire.

 

[Wiseblade]

Berserk

My money would still be on Guts though. He has a cannon for an arm.

If you let Serpico fight with his magic gear, then Guts needs to wear his armor. Otherwise he wouldn't stand a chance against the wind slicing. Serpico is seriously OP with it.

Yeah I did mean both going full force powerful magic vs amazing strength would be an awesome fight to see.

Berserk

So Farnese has chosen to continue her adventure with Guts, looks like the gang is back together again and ready to kick some tiger ass.

 

[Korosenai]

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Alien Nine - 01

Remember years back watching the anime and finding it really unsettling; reading the manga now, it's actually kinda funny. Eh, it'll probably get to that part sooner or later. Also, I don't remember the alien helmet thingies talking in the anime.

 

[dumbyugi]

Popcorn Avatar END

This was clearly cancelled. Happy endings for everyone but so rushed that the big bad gets taken out in a fight that happens mostly off screen. I did mostly enjoy this series but the rushed ending lowers my overall enjoyment a little. 7/10

 

[Stat Flow]

Me: So what do want to do today?
Ichigo: Let's better ourselves, become productive members of society and spend time with our friends and family.
Part 1 Naruto: Let's compete against each other in a series of meaningless physical activities and then have a psuedo psychological discussion!
Part 2 Naruto: Do whatever you like, I'll be over here thinking about Sasuke.
Luffy: Lets burn things! No, Let's travel the world! Wait! Hold everything! Let's see the world... And then burn it!


I know who I'd hang out with.

This is so terrible that I I'm like what.

Me: Yo what's happenin breh

Ichigo: Yo man, whatever. Let's chill with a couple peeps on the lowkey tip. Play a couple games or go get some food and talk.

Naruto: You're not Sasuke

Luffy: AHAHAHAHA! *adventures*. *LAUGHS LIKE AN IDIOT AND CANNOT UNDERSTAND ANY WORDS ABOVE 5th GRADE LEVEL*

Of course this is all dependent on the type of personality, but since I'm the type that likes to chill more than do a bunch of shit. Ichigo would be cool.

Yusuke would be cool too. Him + Ichigo would be good times. Part 1 Naruto & Luffy would be infinitely annoying.

 

[Haly]

Ichigo: Yo man, whatever. Let's chill with a couple peeps on the lowkey tip. Play a couple games or go get some food and talk.

Keep in mind Ichigo ditched all his IRL bros to chase after spirit pootang.

Repeatedly.

It would be more like. "Yeah sure let's hang o- OH SHIT HOLLOW ALERT AIZEN IS ATTACKING GOTTA JET"

 

[Mr. Fix]

Ichigo: Yo man, whatever. Let's chill with a couple peeps on the lowkey tip. Play a couple games or go get some food and talk.

That ain't Ichigo. He'd be too busy looking down with that gloomy face. You the one.

He wants to protect you, brah.

 

[Stat Flow]

Keep in mind Ichigo ditched all his IRL bros to chase after spirit pootang.

Repeatedly.

It would be more like. "Yeah sure let's hang o- OH SHIT HOLLOW ALERT AIZEN IS ATTACKING GOTTA JET"

This is a hypothetical situation assuming that the earth isn't in crisis or some shit or weird shit isn't going on. If I could see her, I'm sure Rukia could chill with us.

I wouldn't expect Naruto to hang out with me in Konoha if Pain is about to attack. I wouldn't expect Luffy to hang out with my if Kizaru is lamping on canonballs on his way to Sabaody. And I wouldn't expect Ichigo to hang out with my if Hollows were plunging into buildings and shit.

I wouldn't want to "hang out" because I would be afraid as shit in all those situations and would try to burrow my ass underground.

In regular situations, I doubt Luffy and Naruto even know how to function. On the other hand Ichigo would be pretty cool.

 

[Haly]

That ain't Ichigo. He'd be too busy looking down with that gloomy face. You the one.

He wants to protect you, brah.

 

[Haly]

I wouldn't expect Naruto to hang out with me in Konoha if Pain is about to attack.

So why would you expect him to hang out with you when a serial killer who is also his best friend is on the loose?

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

That ain't Ichigo. He'd be too busy looking down with that gloomy face. You the one.

He wants to protect you, brah.

False. What Stat said is right.

 

[Stat Flow]

So why would you expect him to hang out with you when a serial killer who is also his best friend is on the loose?

That's like asking why Naruto has relaxed at all since Part 2 started. Sasuke isn't a serial killer, he's just not in Konoha at all and doesn't want to have anything to do with him. It's not my problem he's obsessed with him.

Now, if Sasuke was reported to be in a really close vicinity, then you've got a point.

Sasuke is long gone. He's just thinking about him at every waking moment.

The Voynich Hotel 43

It's just amazing how easily characters are getting off'd in this series.

Also, a reward!

 

[Passive Assassin]

Jigoku no Alice

More messed up Jiro Matsumoto? Yes please.

 

[flintstryker]

As I think Ichigo is the worst shounen protagonist of all the shounens I have read, i wouldn't want to be anywhere near him.

Yusuke now there's a boss I bet he'd make a great wingman.

Also would love to hang with Joseph Joestar the fabulous poses would be legendary.

 

[brotkasten]

Who is Yusuke?

 

[wonzo]

the best shounen protag is minori from akb49. qtiyd

 

[flintstryker]

Who is Yusuke?

Come on man don't tell me you haven't seen Yu Yu hakusho

 

[Kurita]

Yusuke Murata is best Yusuke

 

[Crash Station]

Jigoku no Alice

More messed up Jiro Matsumoto? Yes please.

More messed up than usual? What is it, straight up guro?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Eyeshield 21 End

Man, that was an adrenaline rush to the end. The pacing was nearly breakneck, to the point where the world cup felt a bit rushed, but I guess the whole point of it was to finally match sena vs panther.

The entire kantou and christmas bowl arc is probably among the best I've read in manga. Kurita's improvement, the always evolving Sena, and Himura's tactics were all pretty fun, and it's nice to see everyone joining in to help prepare against teikoku. Also love the way the manga is constantly able to set up rivals for the devil bats. It could get formulaic though, with the devil bats losing ground at first and then start getting stronger along with sena improving, but I guess that's just what it takes to create a more dynamic and exciting match.

You can also feel the art improving as the series go along. Near the end there the art could be pretty breathtaking. Loved the allegoric images which made american football look waaaaay more interesting than it actually is, and also love the crazy ways he depicts sena's powers, as ridiculous as they look.

Started to get weirdly racial and nationalistic near the end there, but ah well, still enjoyed the story overall.

 

[Passive Assassin]

More messed up than usual? What is it, straight up guro?

Hm. True. Usual Matsumoto is ... really messed up. This is on par with Uncivilized Planet so far.

 

[oni_saru]

I guess two manga companies here did announcements on today (Seven Seas with Senran Kagura manga) and Sublime with Sublime Kids

I'm embarrassed to admit but I actually fell for that. I was wondering wtf a BL company was doing starting a kids line. Also I didn't realize it was BL alpacas. Haha

This shipping battle is amazing but useless. We all know it's gonna end up being.....

Spoiler

SasuNaru

Believe it

 

[PK Gaming]

Just caught up to one punch man

-awesome series, how frequently does it update?
-who's that mysterious girl on the cover, is it miss blizard?
-it's as if god himself resides in the body of saitama.

 

[UberTag]

Alien Nine - 01

The anime has nothing on the manga when it comes to being unsettling.
Granted, you could say the exact same thing about Narutaru.

 

[B-Dubs]

Rage Town

Something, sort of happened...just not to the main character. Also I think Seo knows everyone in this is a moron at this point, since everyone showed up acting dumb. If I could sleep I'd just skip this by now...but I can't...

 

[Crimsonlink]

Who is Yusuke?

*STARE*

What! You have to be joking....

This is Yusuke, remember this for the rest of your life!

If you don't what he does to Sensui in this vid will be a joke compared to what will happen to you!

Now I want to do a YYH run again lol.

Nakama

I consider the World Cup to be a pure fanservice arc. I mean, seeing Tetsuma, Monta, Sakuraba on the same team, Sena, Shin, Yamato running in the city... I remember being so excited when I read that arc.
It definitely felt rushed though, the US/Japan is the only detailed match.

I also loved that minor characters got some development throughout the manga like Sakuraba, Habashira (this guy... I really felt sorry for him)...

Agree with the techniques/power part. It was so satisfying to see them. Really felt like an action manga. I love the fact that they went all out. The authors knew it wasn't a realistic manga so heh, why not throw bats, spears, tornados, fuckin' Poseidon in the mix?

Manly tears, sweat, blood, bros everywhere... I need to re-read it now!

 

[Haly]

What World Cup? What are you guys talking about? I only remember the finale with Teikoku Gakuen.

Nothing else exists.

(Who is this "Panther" dude anyway? Sounds like some kind of black stereotype but couldn't be.)

 

[Kurita]

I want a sequel with the college teams

 

[Antiwhippy]

Eh, to be fair on panther, nearly every character who isn't japanese and exceedingly awesome is some kind of weird racial stereotype. They even managed to stereotype egyptians without egyptians being part of the story.

 

[brotkasten]

Come on man don't tell me you haven't seen Yu Yu hakusho

I've honestly never heard of it. At least I was able to find something under "Yu Yu Hakusho". So it's an older series from Togashi, which is interesting.

 

[Kusagari]

Kimi no who gives a shit

Are you kidding me? Pregnancy now?

We really are going to get mini arcs tying up the loose ends for every character of any relevance.
