Just moving this to a new post, since I keep noticing things.

In chapter 188 Isshin says "If there's anything I've truly hated for 20 years without thinking twice, it'd be the fact that I failed to save Masaki on that night." She didn't die 20 years ago obviously, since Ichigo is only 15 then--he's actually referencing what just happened in these new chapters. I wonder if anyone realized that when that chapter first came out, so many years ago, that the timeline didn't match up for him to be saying he regretted not saving her from Gran Fisher, and that it must've been for something else.

Reading on here though, he also talks about the Vizards as a group who use forbidden techniques gain the power of a hollow. He describes it like he wasn't introduced to them by Urahara 20 years prior, who very clearly said how they got their powers: from him. Then he talks about how he "saw" Gran Fisher "over ten years ago," presumably when Masaki died. But he shouldn't be able to see hollows in that gigai. So a couple inconsistencies here, unless we're gonna see a flashback to Masaki's death at some point (I'm sure we'll get one) and he does actually see Grand Fisher somehow.

There´s no inconsistencies. In chapter one Karin says that Yuzu has a weak spiritual pressure like her father. So Isshin could feel riatsu, and see shimmers and unclear vision. Isshin saying see might also mean i recognized your riatsu from that time, and not necessarily see the Grand Fisher.

So if Uryuu's dad is all buddy buddy with Ichigo's, doesn't that mean he knew that Ichigo was a Quincy the whole time and was just fucking with Uryuu?

Yeah.

Ryuuken is the best.

Ehhh, he was talkin about how its Arrancar form was so much different, it sounded like he had a pretty clear vision of what it looked (or felt) like "over 10 years ago," more than a blurry vision or feeling would necessarily convey. Though reading some more stuff, I guess Masaki died 6 years ago, not "over 10," so maybe he's referring to some other event. Unless that's just an actual error. Presumably we'll find out more as this flashback continues!

There was a person on OMF who said the same thing. I don't think Isshin would make such a mistake.

 

[Freshmaker]

Hey, we don't know who Ishida's mother is yet.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yeah, you are.

It's obviously the housemaid.

 

[Tathanen]

This flashback is happening 20 years before Ichigo´s birth since that was the time line when Isshin lost his powers.

Jumping back to this real quick, you mean 20 years before the series begins, not Ichigo's birth, yeah? I was doin the math after I said Masaki woulda had him in her mid-30s, but then I was like wait, that doesn't make any sense. So Isshin and Masaki meet 20 years before the series begins, and she has Ichigo 5 years later. Presumably in her early 20s. So she's 30ish when she dies.

 

[Amikami]

For anyone wanting more Madara hilarity.

He's SO Excited!!

Beelzebub vol.13

Highlights : Oga and Baby Beel switching bodies, Fuiruichi becoming the prince's worst enemy, Furuichi the pedo, the creepy "tengu".
Oga's new power is pretty cool, can't wait to see him mastering it. Looking forward to a new arc now.

At first I was like "these little bitches need to team up against her!!?" after seeing her fucked up face I feel sorry for them, they are about to get their a-holes opened up in such a bad way for being little bitches.

 

[Haly]

It's obviously the housemaid.

That's not very sexy.

What's would be sexy is Ryuukan and Isshin sharing Masaki.

Polyandry end.

Just to clarify, Ichigo is now 17. Don't forget the timeskip after Aizen was defeated.

Masaki dies when Ichigo is 9 years old.

Awesome, you liked it.

BTW, if you were curious about the Solanin song and haven't seen it yet, here is what it sounds like

That's pretty damn catchy. Thanks for linking it

Hey we get to see Sakura again! But guess what? Surprise surprise, she does nothing!

Seriously what is wrong with the author? Does he hate everything with a vagina or just Sakura in particular?

Moteki chapter 1-8

I feel bad for the guy, but he doesn't help his cause. More often than not he comes off as creepy, though on his behalf it must be said that those girls are a bit shitty.
The imagination parts are pretty great

Not only are they funny for some of the references, but also the self depreciating humour hits the right notes, plus all the various info about past events

 

[Freshmaker]

That's not very sexy.

That'd explain Uryu's dad's attitude towards him though. Why he says he's the last Quincy etc. He's the last Ishida pureblood.

Continuing the quincy bloodline was kind of in vain really, wasn't it?

Makes me wonder if the Vandenreich are mostly mixed blood though, I figured they were all long dead but when you had the twins clearly born in more modern times that made it seem that maybe they're not all or even mostly spirits (unless Kubo just didn't give a shit.)

I'd like to read it but IIRC the translations are fucking slow.

It also explains his attitude towards Ichigo, which makes total sense now.

It's pure meh.

Zebra fucking shit up like a boss, old granny about to bust some heads too.

 

[TacticalFox88]

In some roundabout kind of way he's looking at Ichigo as the son he potentially could've had through Masaki. Which also may be another reason he kind of treats Uryu like shit

Does anyone know if Sun-Ken Rock is on a break? The last chapter was 14 days(!) ago and I thought it was on a weekly schedule. I need my amazing Boichi art fix!

 

[Stinky]

Lain did you know the author of Moteki was female going into it? The author introduction at the end where she pretends she is a man and it seems like such a huge self insert.. then is like jkjk im a woman.

Blew my mind

Again!! 22

*dead*

I guess it finally happened.

The mainguy is a badass now. Like, permanently.

I said wow.

Took like two years but it's happening! Cue Ron Paul dancing like a fool.

Mmm, manly muscles and crying girls.

Oh wow guess it's time to do catch up on some manhwa

Awesome, you liked it.

Ahh this is pretty cool.

Nisekoi

Wow, its as if they remembered there is a mob subplot to this whole series. Sadly, too much time in this chapter was dedicated to the worst girl :/

Marika is tied for the best.

A manga that started in 2006 and is weekly, only has 122 chapters as of 2013?

You're right. Blush lines make everything better.

Definitely the best product this chapter has given.

Spirits can actually give birth. Nobles in SS have children.

Sekai Seifuku Sekirara Jogakukan 1-2

"Fumizuki Mai just recently moved into town and is starting her new life at school. She soon realizes that the curriculum is really weird, consisting of body fitness classes, undressing classes and extreme combat training. Mai soon realizes that her school is really a location for girls to become the most incredible women on Earth. She meets four girls who are weird but nice in their own way but their craziness and the ridiculous classes just might make Mai go crazy."​

 

[survivor]

I hope you'll keep reading this. While it has it's fair share of cliché, it keeps being lighthearted and funny (at least up to where I've read, which is volume 8). Also Ninako's innocence and dumbness is... heartwarming.

Yeah, I'm not dropping it yet. I wanna see the Ren vs. Daiki rivalry to the end.

Hey, the girls are great in this manga.

I feel like the translators just gave up on the manga. It's filled with dialogues to the brim and even I get tired from reading every chapter. Imagine how tedious it must be to translate all of them. Oh well, at least there is Again!! so it's not like there are no new manga from Mitsurou Kubo to read.

One Piece

Wow, Oda managed to stick to one plot thread for an entire chapter! Good job!

Always fun to see Luffy find innovative new ways to be too dumb to live. And even though I know they're all fodder never to be seen after this, some of these competitors are pretty interesting.

 

[brotkasten]

There could be many reasons for this. Big hiatus, slow translation, some time passed before a group picked it up, etc.

Oh, they sure are, it's just the way they "use" our loser protagonist that rubs me a bit wrong.

Why do people keep assuming this, in OP of all series?

Elektel Delusion 13

Havent read a new chapter in so long, but for trust issues to finally come up was alright for where its headed. Shunpei and Fumi, I wonder how they will confront each other about their respective troubles. Shunpei's are easier to deal with I guess since he didnt exchange information with the past love, though Fumi's...wanted by two different characters and to still model. Would like to see jealous posessive Shunpei though.

Haven't been here in a while. What did I miss?

We discussed Scott Pilgrim (books and movie) and some thought it was cool to hate Michael Cera. Sitcoms were mentioned and Kurita and I said how amazing and awesome Parks and Recs is, then someone mentioned Arrested Development for some reason and at the end we all agreed that Avatar: Sadly not the last fake Anime sucks.

 

[Tathanen]

Masaki dies when Ichigo is 9 years old.

Right, I know. Any references to 20 years were made before the timeskip, though, so I'm using that as the frame of reference.

Michael Cera is good at what he does (play the dork), but that's it. I liked him in Scott Pilgrim, but he didn't have the right looks, imo. Fun movie though.

Avatar: The Last Airbender was cool when it came out, and I still like the adventurous tone it has. It's still fake anime though.
The Legend of Korra was horrible. The only redeeming factor that abomination had was the animation, which was good overall.

Now I'm all caught up!

 

[Korosenai]

My cousins watch Avatar, then laugh at me when I say I watch stuff like One Piece. Makes no sense.

Avatar is better animated than One Piece though, so...

 

[Jintor]

Fake Anime kicked ass. Book Two was one of the best seasons of tv I've ever seen. They blew it in S3 though and Korra was a rushed piece of nonsense

Assassination Classroom 40

Not the student I expected to take on the challenge, though I guess it goes back to the early chapter this arc about how he was able to land a blow, so it was probably expected. I would have though it would be Karma-kun.
