Is it bad that now it always reminds me of Ika Musume if some tentacle monsters from the sea appear to invade mankind?

It was nice knowing y'all
I was actually going to add an appendix of why the "what a twist" quote didn't work, when it obviously worked when I quoted dramatis/he quoted me (hint: it has to do with what comes beforehand and afterwards), but... in the last second, I forgot. Then I kept quiet because I thought someone will notice and point it out, but no one did!

So by default he's in masochist mode, and when provoked he switches into sadist mode? This changes everything.

Starting tomorrow? We didn't do anything to deserve this. And with that cliffhanger too..
I guess yeah, it'll be back in June.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
When does the Sinbad story start? Will we at least have something to tide us over?
Good. Hopefully she takes the time to reflect on the recent dip in the manga's quality and refocus the narrative again. Maybe she can wash off the dirty influence from all that anime money too.
Will probably just be as bad as all the last few chapters though.
This will probably be even worse since its a continuation of that anime tie-in bonus manga her assistant did. Isn't he doing the actual series too? *vomit*
Not particularly. I think the one ones I ever really read are the Urasawa ones. They're okay. I'm not a fan of Adachi's stuff either.
Only things I'm reading right now is Magi and Shingeki. I have Silver Spoon and One Punch Man on hold, should probably get back to them soon. I'll catch up on One Piece again in a year or two so chapters can build up. Lol.

Guys.
It's my 25th. WTF.
I am drunk.
BUT!
1. One Piece
2. HUNNTER X HUNNTER!!
3. Fullmetal Alch??
4. Pluto!
4. Naruto (until the break. yucj)
4. Bleach!! (until the fight over "i'm number 1....0! or whatver. fuck that!")
Though honestly, Bleach and TWGOK as #2 forever
Yay. Or something.

Hmm. I'll try and get you to give it a try later anyway (the sports question was a misdirection, I don't think it matters to liking Baby Steps), but no rush since the chapters are coming out frustratingly slowly right now.

I know you have taste, don't be like them.
Stat Bro, don't do this to me, please. It's been a long night for most of us, so please, just explain the rambling of that madman.

You make even less sense than me...
'European keyboard' was just my conjecture that you have a different language keyboard that you toggled and then typed a quote mark the forum software couldn't process properly. But after some testing it seems like all quotes are probably taken and converted to " symbols so that wasn't your problem.
After some testing, it appears that if you use " in a QUOTE tag, then then use " in a URL tag, all the styling of the post falls apart.
Case in which everything falls to pieces:
Case in which tags aren't registering for QUOTE or URL:
Rather specific circumstances that upandaway stumbled on, that's all.
Back to manga.

Its crazy how far Bleach has fallen in the rankings between 2010 and 2011. Its the largest decline on there.I don't think that I'd posted all of them before so here ya go.
The loss of Aizen just crippled that series.
you would be right, if you were right

i was wrongly accused, see how this ^ is not broken after all
THAT'S WHAT I EXPLAINED IN MY POST but i'll explain it again anyway, as upandaway 2.0
if you would add a referral, it would be broken, because the "] in the quote tag will be replaced with "; and the "] after that will be in the url tag. see (i added ;1):
and it took me 15 minutes to remove all of the references and puns and other roundabout adjectives out of this post, i hope you guys are happy because i am changed forever (or at least for the rest of the day).

The more I read the insane rumblings of upandaway the more I laugh
in a way it was bad that everyone was convinced that he was the final boss. i know a ton of people who thought bleach ended when aizen was defeated.

I find that hard to believe, seeing how Aizen wasn't killed and Ichigo's story kept going after the fight.
are we reading the same manga? -_-Will probably just be as bad as all the last few chapters though.
A month hiatus of Magi is brutal... damn it..

I, for one, fully support crazy drugged out upandaway
Bleach basically hit the same problem that hurts sitcoms that pair up their romantic leads too early. The fanbase got what they wanted and now don't care. Its the same reason why Naruto vs Sasuke isn't going to be taken care of until the final chapter.
In a way, I bet Kubo wishes he set up the Hueco Mundo saga differently. Even allowing Aizen to semi-win at the end would have made for a decent dark middle chapter and allowed the story to seamlessly continue to the current story arc. But Kubo dragged out that saga too long and teased Aizen too much for him to back down, even if he wanted to. I applaud the man for wrapping up that bloated arc and moving on to the next saga ala Dragonball Z, but its clearly not what the fanbase wanted. Plus, he's too far into the mythos now to attract new young audiences to the plot either.

I find that a lot of those fans tend to be primarily anime fans. Add in the vast rumors of the anime ending around the Aizen fight and I can see a lot of people skipping the filler arc that proceed it and then just assuming the story all ended when they heard the anime was over.

I remember the anime watchers only folks felt that way too. It would have been an acceptable and perfect end.
