Fight with Tommyrod is where I started loving Toriko. It definitely comes into its own in that arc.

Yeah I've told people who've been "ehh" on the series to read that arc first then go back and read from the beginning.

Am hyped to see what this Yuichi Jin can do. He looks cool and awesome. Artist definitely knows how to make good character designs, Jin is up there with Jun Arashiyama for best looking.
Ah great color page and pages.
Pretty awesome chapter. To think the llgar self destructs on contact. I thought itd have some last effort laser blast from its mouth, but oh well. Replica really makes excellent suggestions and the chain thing combined with the various boosts really did make this worthwhile. Easily a favorite series in JUMP so for me.

Raiiiiiiiii. He destroyed the fools like nothing. But using that much power will shorten his life significantly.

Day with T minus 1 chapter remaining. Usually the finale in these kinds of series is the MC hooking up with his waifu, but they did that ages ago.

Wow, Jotaro is a real fucking asshole. father of the year material right there! Daughter sick and dieing? Fuck her, she can take of herself. Daughter accused of manslaughter and sent to jail? Flee the country and let her rot in jail. Daughter falls down the stairs and gets hurt? Who cares, she should watch wheres she's going.
Jolyne has every right to hate his guts for this. I would too. Jotaro is the worst JoJo, hes unlikeable. Seriously.

Gorgeous.
Can't wait to get out of this farming stuff, but it is legitimately interesting. Inoue understands that there needs to be some passive time between action but he is taking it to an extreme.
Maybe when Musashi successfully grows something he'll reflect and learn how to be the Greatest (Farmer) Under the Sun.

On a by-volume reread as they come in . . .
HunterxHunter VOL. 1
A little slower in retrospect, as far as volume's are concerned. This mainly has to do with going against OP's first volume though which was fresh in my head.
How bad ass is the panel of Gon saving the dude off the ship? Seriously gorgeous and incredible pacing inside the action. I love the mangaka's style so much. And damn, Hisoka is such a boss I can't wait for more of him. So much I've already forgotten. Can Volume 2 get here already?
Next up, berserk volume one and OP volume 2.

Togashi is a master of the genre. Now if only he wasn't a lazy bastard...

Take is such a player. But seriously the new girl is amazing, it's a shame her fate was sealed even before she made her first appearance.
The Silver Spoon anime will be only one cours long (July to September).

A user reading though HxH, Berserk, and OP at the same time, this doesn't sound healthy the overload of awesome may be too much for him
One Piece doesn't quite measure up to the other two.

I'd read Berserk...but you know....

Would concur if I hadn't read all of them yet. I'm just rereading.
Still, you may be right and I may be unable to start Naruto again ;___;
Maybe in parts, but I'll take Water 7 and Saobody everybody loses over most parts in HxH and Berserk.

As a whole no, but certain parts (Alabasta, Water 7/Enies Lobby, Marineford) do

Never got that vibe at all. Skypia is about the only thing that fatigue ever sat in with me for. We'll see on the reread.
Wednesday has just begun.

Skypia was the shitest arc in shonen history imo. Pacing, characters and plot was just very subpar compared to Oda's previous arcs. I'm still amazed how Water 7/Enis Lobby changed my mind.
Most of the Marineford War can die in a ditch as well. All it had was Luffy getting knocked around like a ping pong ball by people beyond his level. If it wasn't for the importance to the plot and the death of a certain character I would have written it off as a terrible arc.

Does Wednesday ever truly end?
What is your opinion on Hueco Mundo and the White Invasion arcs?
Crimsonlink

Too long and dragged out for certain characters. Still had some awesome fights from both arcs though.

Hachiken could at least be a tutor!
I like the pace it's going now, even if there is a break.

I still haven't watched past Drum Island, but have you read Hitman Reborn?
Crimsonlink

Reborn is bad no doubt about that but it was laughably bad. Skypia is another story. That arc bored me so much that I had to skip it and each time I attempt to read it again I drop it a few chapters into the arc.
I've only managed to finish it recently and I can say that I want those minutes of my life back. Except for the very end vs Eneru that arc was terrible all around.

I'll find out for myself what those OP arcs are like, eventually. Then I can join wednesday-gaf.

While I despise Hitman Reborn, my vote would be Prince of Tennis.

No Good Tsuna is my favorite one. BLue Exorcist 45
Half did the anime music (poor Wired Life singer left off :/) but what about the rest? Funny chapter though Renzou Shima and Rin gave the most hilarious moments. Fun school festival chapter.
Battle shonen protagonist I'll agree.
But there's a bunch of shittier harem protagonists.

The worst shounen arc I've ever read is the one in Freezing where the brother of the main girl tries to mind break her and turn her into his personal fuck toy. Nothing in the Big Three or KHR or even Fairy Tail comes close to how awful that was.

Pinch me folks, for this must be dreamland!!!
What was so bad about Hitman Reborn?
Oh and currently Toriko >>> One Piece in terms of general excitement. The art in One Piece is generally much sharper though.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Food Smut
So we've graduated to the food-gasms somehow including Pavarotti in a duck suit. Yeah.
Also, Soma being a smug snake Ace-type and constantly winning food battles in the same manner is sort of tiring.

That would work but Freezing is a Seinen manga, not a Shonen one.

Really dull end to the way, which a large part of it felt like a waste of time. At least Onodera had a good cake but why say the platonic part :/
