Ichigo is one of the more realistic heroes in Shonen. He acts like a normal human being would in the situations that arise. Just because he isn't defined by a single trope, such as a love for meat, doesn't mean he lacks personality. He's under gone subtle developments through out the series, but many people overlook them as Kubo often shows it visually, rather than spelling it out in bold.
If you think Ichigo's the same character as he was in the beginning, you have to be joking.

Eh, i will stop responding to him with regards to Bleach since he does not even read it anymore. He read some of it, and now he´s talking shit without knowing.

BTW that´s a great description of Ichigo.

I need help with the mahjong cause the first volume confused the hell out of me.

Part 4 is also getting translated now so I'm losing motivation to finish part 3.

I gave up on trying to fully understand Mahjong, but I still LOVED Part 3.

If youre not stupid like me then it would still be worth it to read up on the game. Part 4 is pretty good so far.
 
World Trigger 5

I wish we could see the scene when he does the Trigger and gets his Trion Body Combat Form of sorts thing on as it looked, while brief, pretty cool. And his ever lovable faces still present do make me chuckle a bit. Was he deploying a force field against the Marmod?, and how he is he so much better at using it than Osamu?

I tried reading about the mahjong rules when I was watching Saki, but gave up entirely, too many rules and made up terms.

Seriously, Kaiji should have just played Uno instead

Even people who have read Bleach can't tell me what it is about.

Some manga/anime don't have overarching goals and aren't about anything particular. You can group Bleach, HunterxHunter, Gintama, and others together that are like that.

Maybe "it's about [this character's] life and hardships" is a good description but I wouldn't say Bleach is about Ichigo's life.

It's not that bad, the Part 3 stuff especially cut off a lot of the complicated stuff. Just read it and ask if there's a particular hand/move you're not getting! I'll try and check it out.

Also it might help to save a few of the help pages that explain the terms, because in Part 3 especially it's just the same 10 terms over and over. Put the hard to remember ones to a side list and I promise it'll just stop growing after a couple of volumes.
 
One-Punch Man 8


Genos is really amazing sure he may have to use more hits and stuff but they really gave him the best attacks that spiral in his hand. I guess I just like really flashy stuff than normal and standard normal consecutive punches there. Oh well am anticipating whatever else is coming from they that are involved with the House of Evolution.

I've always though of Liar Game as a poor man's Kaiji. Not that that's a bad thing.

Well, I thought the drama was pretty damn cool. I bought the first volume of the manga but haven't read it yet.
AFAIK the drama is more "dark", the setting is different and is kind of reminiscent of SAW with the masked guys appearing on big screens and stuff... The OST was quite amazing.
It also seems like the characters are not exactly the same so...

If you're not prejudiced against Japanese acting, it's worth watching. And again, dat OST :

Hunter X Hunter was always about Gon becoming a hunter, finding his father and learning why he left to become a Hunter. Even though Gon and Ging have finally met there is still so much more for Gon to learn about being a Hunter and the world of Hunters with the introduction of the dark world.

The rules to mahjongg are easy. The scoring is the complicated part.
This is what people who know mahjong always say, but they don't understand my suffering in trying to decipher these weird rules.

Oh yeah, I remember those help notes that were at the end. I should probably find a good setup to have them on hand to be able to look them up while reading the manga.
 
I just wanted an excuse to use Hugo over the silly-sounding Ugo and was curious which way the english translation will likely fall (Viz is releasing it in France too, right?).

Viz will be using Ugo from the summary on their page for vol 1
Deep within the desert lie the mysterious Dungeons, vast stores of riches there for the taking by anyone lucky enough to find them and brave enough to venture into the depths from where few have ever returned. Plucky young adventurer Aladdin means to find the Dungeons and their riches, but Aladdin is just as mysterious as the treasures he seeks. Together with his friend, Ali Baba and the genie, Ugo, Aladdin sets out to find his fortune in the depths of the endless dunes...

Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for teen audiences.

Naruto is about friendship and redemption.

Bleach was about...

Naruto was also about Naruto aiming to be Hokage.

Or was it about the young generation surpassing the old.

Or was it changing Ninja world so there's no more war.

To give Naruto credit it is mashing all these goals and merging them into a steaming pile of shit of an arc right now I suppose.

No joke, I've had dreams about getting banned from gaf. Something like accidentally posting hard core pornography in a thread.

What does this say about me?

You don't get to 5000 MangaGAF posts without drawing a few bans!

Man, are you guys serious? No one here's ever been banned? I think I've drawn at least 5 not counting the Bar study break.

I've been banned for an afternoon until Evilore saw fit to give me clemency.

I think it's just that the manga thread is pretty safe all things considered. No one's really drawn a ban for something said in here that I can remember.

It's more like this thread is hidden from the eyes of the world. We're cloaked here. Neorice is still the only one to get a tag here too.

I've never been banned either. Than again, I've only just become a full Member, so I haven't been here that long, and haven't been posting as much outside of ManGAF.

I was banned once way back when I first joined and was banned recently.

It's hard to get banned in these community threads though. Gaming is the real trap as long as you know what threads to avoid or skirt around in OT.

Gaming seems too high tension and the state of the gaming industry makes it kind of dull to discuss games until the next generation finally arrives, well I guess if one wants to discuss tropes.

I'm sure if I had been a member of GAF during my teens posting in gaming would have gotten me banned multiple times. I'm not really sure how the unveil of new hardware would be more high tension then other points of the year for gaming though. Maybe if we were hearing rumors that the Vita/WiiU or another console was going to be discontinued then maybe it would cause stress amongst users.

No shit? What'd you do? Normally the mods don't bother us all that much.

If you keep and argument going for long enough eventually you'll get a lot of time to think about it.

I think I've been banned twice. The first one was because I commented about robert jordan dying and how it sucked for WOT when the mods said . . don't do that. But it's true!

I can't remember if I got banned again. Probably.

I don't understand how DTL has more total posts than I do when he has way less posts than I do total in this thread and he only posts in the anime and manga threads.
