Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
No, no it won't.

You worship a false goddess.

Tenri/Diana is the true waifu.

Beelzebub

No idea what the hell just happened, but I laughed at the end.

Tenri sucks but Diana's alright.

Kusunoki was the best, but I doubt she's ever going to come back.

Great chapter. This has to be one of my favorite fights in the series. Tommyrod's facial expressions and reactions are amazing and it's cool to see Sani being so badass.

And holy shit at Tommyrod's severed arm being stronger than any of his insects.

TommyRod proving once again he is fucking boss, Sani proving he can take a savage beating while doing satanic things with his hair is awesome. The conclusion should be epic, would like to see Sani loose those so that they can level up again for Gourmet World.

Adventure of Sinbad

Well that just tells us right there that Al Sarmen has their claws into Patervia, hmmmmm I wonder when that country will be introduced to current Magi events. That just implicates that there is another great country Al Sarmen is messing with that they can use, so more potential Black Djin users!
 
Beelzebub

Dahhhhhhhhhhhh. The fights in Beelzebub are so shitty. The only one i like is Tojo vs. Oga. Yeah, even though Beelzebub is comedy it should have interesting fights since fighting is somewhat important in the series.

Toriko

Sani has improved a lot. Tommyrod is finished. I can´t wait to see the other 3 demonic cells activated. It should be interesting.

Sani and others do not need to lose for his cells to evolve. Look at Shining Gourami example etc....

I don't know... it's alright I guess? It's not... quite at that point where I want to keep reading. I'll keep poking at it and see if it picks up at some point.

Beelzebub

I didn't think the fight was shitty, in fact I think that fucker deserves every shit thrown at him.

Look, Oga already defeated Jabberwock, this no-name rat looking bastard has no place in here.

Binbougami ga! 51.5-54

:sdburton approved miracle workers~! Seriously though, this manga's way better when it's just the usual hi jinx instead of the serious drama stuff as that usually concludes with the power of friendship™ making everything okay which gets really tiresome after awhile.

Gokiburi Gijinka 1-2 & Omake 1-2

Moe Cockroach fun for the whole family, featuring bundled plastic figure shorts! I'll deff. get around to checking out the 2011 serialization sometime soon whenever the first volumes fully translated.
 
EArTh 1

I'm not entirely sure what this is about other than there being a rabbit girl with guns in it.

This would be a lot easier to follow if the art wasn't a pain in the ass to decipher at points. But since I like Greed Packet, which is apparently a spinoff of this, I'll stick with it for now.

Guess theres goes all chances for an english languard print volume license or release. Why does JPN let such good series fall to the side, Barrage, ST&RS, Hungry Joker, Takamagahara. So glad World Trigger, Haikyuu!!, and Shokugeki no Soma, and Psi Kusuo are performing well.

You know that World Trigger hasn't been ranked yet right? We don't know if it's performing well.

J Manga to shutter, Manga purchaced on site to be unreadable after the end of May with no Download service provided.

Of course, I had my issues with the service (Doing the same stupid region lock nonsense everyone else does, it's tablet reading service being non-existent for the most point) but between comixology, Viz's stuff (in the US at least) and the pirates they really didn't stand much of a chance and they really failed to sell their best feature (The translation and availability of niece manga series such as Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer, some of which was marred further by the whole Region Lock thing)

Mind you, the line of "Sod you, you don't get to keep the manga you bought" sort of drives a pole into any sympathy I had.

And don't start about how you only buy the licence to view, I really don't want to hear it.

I don´t care if people liked or did not like Bleach, but they try to apply rules that every shonen does on Bleach without applying it to other. It´s the hypocrisy that i don´t like.

I'm sorry to reply only now because as it is there's only so much time I can spend on GAF anyway (and this very thread is probably one I lurk the most though, after all the Sim shitty threads that bring no end to my entertainment...).

Still I stand by my statement, Bleach is not anything to right home about.
Neither is Naruto, btw for the record I find Bleach really much better than Naruto (for example I do buy the volumes when they get released here...then again I do it for Fairy tails to and that is really the shittiest thing in my collection by a fair margin).

I don't really make all that much of a distinction between shonen, seinen and shojo all that much, if it's entertaining it's worth a read and maybe even worth owning.
I won't go in greater details but I know that Bleach is nowhere near the most enjoyable stuff I read or even in the top 10 (or 20 thanks to that overlong arrancar arc).
Still I don't think I could name 5 current shonens I'd prefer to read over Bleach though, I guess that count for something.
Most of the stuffs I'd name overall are probably over anyway.

I need to get my stuffs in gear and try new mangas to read or I'm getting the impression that all the new stuffs are lame (and I'm pretty sure overall the media is not getting shittier).
I can't find anything to read as far as shonen goes though...

Maybe Assassination Classroom that sounds fun but it has potential to get stale real quick though.
Toriko is stupider and stupider the more I read it, Magi's theme bores me to tears and I won't get anywhere near the smut stuffs you people keep talking about.
If people here have some recommandation I'm all ears.

Oh yeah OPM is awesome, I read that and I'll get the volumes when they're released here.

Berserk 210

After all the reactions he gets out of the people around him, I came to the conclusion that he's Jesus. There's no other explanation.

And holy crap, warriors he gathered are something completely else. Just how on earth could Gutts stand a chance.


Yep.

Okay, getting more hooked now. Need some more girl characters though, these dudes are all lanky pretty boys with horrific anatomy

hell, even when she was crossdressing to disguise herself her anatomy warped, lol

I was thinking about it and it's more or less Yankee kun to Megane chan from the shoujo table instead, lol. Reading that, this and Cromartie all at the same time is overloading my delinquent circuits

Berserk 218

And so our crew is complete! Finished with magical healing, the formal introduction of Berserk's Nen/Haki/Reiatsu/Chakra/Etc. and powerups for the crew.

EXCEPT GUTS DON'T NEED YOUR FUCKING MAGICAL POWERUP CAUSE HE'S A FUCKING BOSS.

Skull Knight is such a bro. Seriously, fuck Griffith.

Overall though, I can't say I dislike this crew at all. I like them all, actually. Even more so, I like their interactions with one another. I especially like how comedy is melded into this shit so seamlessly when this is such a gruesome world. This is gonna be good.

Summer Wars: King Kazuma vs Queen Ozu

I didn't finish reading the first chapter, but my god is this manga such a massive letdown in the art department. I mean this is the freaking colour page you get in the beginning of the volume. It's so bad.The character designs are just awful compared to the original manga. I really wish they didn't change artists for this spin-off.
Looks like it's just trying to emulate the single tone shading found in the movie (and failing at that).
