The miniposter with Seraph of the End v1 is great, and the little character details end of vol 1. Their JUMP SQ releases are always my favorite pickups. Cant wait for v2.

So is Blood Blockade Battlefront any good apparently it's getting an anime adaptation and it's from the guy who did Trigun which is relevant to my interest

people please.

I asked you nicely :(

I'm starting to notice a flaw in my strategy of tackling the crap in my backlog first, because at this rate my brain'll melt before I get onto the decent stuff.

Metallica Metalluca 1-2

Yeah, I had a feeling this was an ex-WSJ series even before dropping it.
 
what did you watch? was planning to watch something since i have 6 free tickets :3

X-Men Days of Future Past. It was really good, really enjoyed it.

I loved First Class and it was a great continuation of that arc.

-------------------------------------------------------

Guess I should finally get around to reading those Spice & Wolf LN volumes I bought a while back.
 

Shokugeki no Soma 72

Well, Ryou won as expected.

Will never understand how some folks were so easily mislead into thinking Megumi would win.

Two of those three can easily set up to be fodder for Dreads run to face Soma.

The other will lose just for us to see how Erina will either abandon her or actually develop some character.

Pandora Hearts volume 18

Most of the past has been revealed and I found a couple parts confusing. Too much Alice/ Lacie/the thing/Abyss and body swappings and going from past to closer past and shit that it becomes hard to understand certain details, but I guess what really matters is the conclusion, and the conclusion of this volume sucks. Oz better not be dead for real, killed by Gil, because that would really suck.

i just bought book girl cause my friend wanted to read it too, was it good

I love them. It's the right amount of bittersweet and tragedy (and angst) for me. Hell, Book 4 legitimately made me a little emotional. It has that creepy vibe to it mixed with minor mysteries going on. Hits the right notes for me.
 
Yamada & The Seven Witches 112

Its back and better than ever (since they dont look like one is eating each other anymore, but actually more sensual), and then the Kurosaki scene, his dream come true even weak at the knees and about to fall over. Yamada at its best.
 
Seven Deadly Sins 79

Kind of feels like this is going quite a bit too long.

Dia Game Extras (end)

Odd extra since it was just Daia dressed in a girl outfit for Kuro odd pleasure. Overall a decent BL one shot focused story of a vampire and vampire hunter falling in love after being chased for so long.

Hayate no Gotoku 452

I always hated how Hata ends each chapter. They're cliffhangers still, but it always feels like there should be one more page.

You don't like the Intention of Jack Vessalius arc? Oh come on. I thought it was great. Having said that, the build up of the Headhunter arc to its final conclusion at the Yura mansion was fan-fucking-tastic.
 
Absolute Duo 8

Bondage class? WTF??? And the harem starts to grow... I don't know why I'm reading this.

Kanojo ga Flag blablabla 20
Wow, so funny. Except not really. I'm confused at where this is going with this hero thing.

Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha 11
Super interesting.

Magi 227
Am I the only one who just want this arc to end and go back to the present?

Seraph of the End looks like it has some pretty good art. I might check it out.

Hoozuki-san Chi no Aneki reread ch20

Wait wait wait, is that the little sister from +Imouto? They showed her in the original manga? I completely forgot about this. Is that her?!
Yeah, she was always in the original. Didn't everyone know that?

Never said I don't like it, just the way this volume ends. I mean, I like Oz and seeing him receive so much damage through the revelations and then having Gil shoot him... hurts. Also while I found some parts in this volume confusing, I still liked it. I just wish the author didn't use such a confusing narration with the switches between the two Alice, past and past past etc.

I found the arc extremely well played as it's a culmination of all the things that's been happening in the series up to that point. It doesn't feel like a massive plot dump either because it carefully introduces the various motivations of characters and how they came to be while building up the actual workings of the world. I didn't find it to confusing, however, but that may be due to having read the series multiple times. I absolutely adore the series. The only thing I found sort of suspect was Leo.

Just read all of the The Stratocracy of Altair that's been translated thus far, and it was alright.
I liked the economics the part the best.
Felt the 3 sultans arc was too long.

But man, with all the foreign terminologies, it was kind of hard reading at times, what with like half of some dialogue being some foreign title or phrase.
Like I'm not sure if his name is Mahmut or if that's a title.

Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha 11 - date time

Also, this counts as toned down fanservice from the last chapter. Somehow.

Shinigami-sama to 4-nin no Kanojo 11 - Does this count as a new girl? Seems more likely he'll be trolled more.

So apparently the artist for this is also doing the manga art of Nomura Mizuki's retelling of Genji (because we need more retelling of Genji). welp.

Oneshot from the Reborn author. Ehh, not really sure what to make of it. It was kinda odd and quirky, but not really in a good way. And it felt like not much happened...idk. The art was nice though, so it's got that going for it! :D

Akame ga Kill Zero 6-7 - I apparently missed chapter 6 forever ago.

CHELSEA! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME.

RIP every other girl that has shown up too. A lot of focus on the T&A this time around as well.

I don't remember Chelsea's introduction to the group originally but she didn't recognize Akame, right? The only thing we get is that she lost her previous team when she was away. Timing wise it wouldn't make too much sense (a few years between Zero and AgK proper) but I guess that's how this will pan out?

Eh, I actually do pay for the manga sub. Anime I can give less of a damn about. :p

I don't think they even had a manga sub option back when I bought my yearpass.

The thing about getting paid by Americans is that half the time they want to give you paypal money and I can't spend that on anything except virtual goods.

And I can't even spend it on netflix because netflix blocks international paypal accounts
