Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Naruto

Hi! I'm the new villain!

Oh, okay. What's your motivation?

Same as the old guy!

...oh.
 
Naruto

Im glad Kishimoto cut off the plot of trying to absorb Naruto and Sasuke powers again, already had many characters do that so giving them ability to just not be desirous to Kaguya makes it feel a bit more perilous.

Kaguya ought to unleash jutsus considering the wide variety of characters under control in both the present and the past.

Bleach

That took light eight seconds to read. Ichigo fighting the Stripper Squad (ft. shitty knock-off Esdese) is boring.

Isobe Isobee Monogatari is on their twice.

RIP Stealth Symphony

Oh joy. That means that will probably wrap up just as Sereph runs out of chapters meaning Jump alpha will be a weekly wasteland of Shit Tier comics that wouldn't past muster at DC, World Trigger (which will never fucking end it's fight I swear to christ) and Toriko (Which I'm ambivalent towards).

Just watch, OP will be more off than on following this hatius.
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Hunter x Hunter

Waaaallls of teeeeeeext! Man that was a lot of info.

Toriko

Bewitching Food World looks like a blast.
So many manga references though. Shimabukuro's first manga and Terra Formars...

One Piece

*siiiiiiighs*
 
There is a new prince of tennis game coming out for 3ds


Wow

It lets you romance the characters. Will sell like hotcakes.

shows what I kn- OH GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR AVATAR

Not animu enough for me

At this point, the only Jump series that anyone could care about running in US jump that aren't

Assassination Classroom- Viz isn't going to use a page for translator notes, and the types of humor this uses would make it hard to run.

Haikyuu- The ship has sailed on this at this point unless Viz decides to license the anime for the US and uses the manga to push it. Right now, the series is still unlicensed.

Soma- they already decided that it's too racy to run in the magazine, but they have licensed it digitally and for print
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Translator notes? I thought the reason they refused to run AssClass was the violent implications. Guns in the classroom, trying to kill the teacher. Keep in mind, Viz is based in America, where school shootings are a disgustingly common thing...

However, I did hear that if there's enough demand, they'll put Soma in the magazine.

Well, that too. It's a series with a lot of issues in regards to regular serialization in a US publication

Bleach

Dumb, getsuga, getsuga, getsuga....From now on I'll call him" one-technIchigo"

Naruto

This manga just went full retard, you never go full retard. So many inconsistencies and dumb people.

Also I vaguely remember some vaguely ultra-powerful objects that were vaguely supposed to be able to vaguely help someone vaguely fighting the bad guy.

Toriko

Now that's a funny and interesting manga. Please kill naruto and bleach fast and give us more mangas along those lines.

One Piece
Still the best even in time of absence.
 
Naruto 679

Kaguya's main plan is to turn everyone into white Zetsu's

I call it operation Fodder

Pretty cool how she just teleported them into a subterranean area

Bleach 583

Why would you cut in the middle of a fight?

it wasn't even a cliff hanger just a random cut... like if the chapter wasn't even done yet

oh well

HXH 342

The new world or the new hell for pilgrims

that whale ship was cool

Toriko

So Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki (Fairy Tail Perfume guy) relative lives in the Bewitching food world lol


I like the swampy look of the place and the items being sold there
they even have stats!

Lol at the Girl in a Can

Also Yes Melk the first is still ALIVE
beast man



but still it was more of a relaxing chapter post everything.... no story progression with this chapter
 
Hunter x Hunter

Amazing how the world they are on is just a small part of the actual world. This will leave room for him to have the series last a long time and other people can pick up after him.
Naruto

Hi! I'm the new villain!

Oh, okay. What's your motivation?

Same as the old guy!

...oh.
New boss same as the old boss.
 
Naruto

Meh, Kaguya is the same as Madara.
Naruto

...oh.

bwahahahaha yes.

Bleach

Twin Getsuga lol.
Bleach 583

Getsuga Tenshou leveled up and oddly, theres nothing wrong with it. It could be a bit darker with some flames around it to give it an even more powerful intense feeling but I imagine that will happen later on this arc.

I think he will get the fire ability that his father used against Aizen. After all Isshin also uses Getsuga Tensho.

HXH

Waiting for further explanation.

Toriko

Boring as shit chapter.

The anime's actually already been licensed for North America by Sentai Filmworks.

Very early Shokugeki spoilers/speculation

Looks like Erina's Secretary and Curry Guy are matched up? There's only a couple of panels shown, so perhaps not. But it looks like Takumi's doomed.
 

Antiwhippy

the holder of the trombone
there was the assumption that he also got killed by the Nitro but seeing as they never mentioned him after Ichiryuu's death most people assumed he was still alive

now the guy is just waltzing solo

Ah alright, thought there was something I missed that showed that he was dead.

Natsume's Book of Friends Vol 1-16

I saw that all of Natsume was available on Kindle and bought the first volume to see how it was reading it on the Kindle app. Was curious if they had it available on iBooks and they did. Kindle version was cheaper and an overall better reading experience. Although I already own volumes 1 through 11 physically I decided to buy the rest of the series on Kindle and get caught up that way. I don’t mind owning both physical and digital versions of Natsume as it’s one of my favorite series.

Another Omnibus

While I was surprised by the final reveal I didn’t really care for Another. I went in expecting one thing and got something completely different. I know that’s my fault but I could never really get past it.

Why do I get the feeling Naruto is gonna be prolonged by aliens?

Pls Kishi no
Pls wait for Naruto Z,it will be unveiled Kaguya is part of a species that invented chakra and all of them are super strong, after Sasuke and Naruto beat her they gain fractures of her power, others of her race now seek revenge and come to earth, sasuke und naruto have to train more to beat them
 

GaimeGuy

Volunteer Deputy Campaign Director, Obama for America '16
I was talking with someone about Naruto and they proposed the following:

The sage's brother will show up. He'll have the byakugan and it will be revealed that Neji was his reincarnation (That's why Neji was so gifted and why he had to die early).

If this happened....
 
Well this week was a quick and non progressive


HXH had a lot of talking but it was basically reiterating the things from the last 4 chapters

Toriko was non progressive in a story sense and a little underwhelming as a winding down chapter

Bleach was just rushed and cut short
as usual

Heck the most progressive chapter this week was Naruto.... NARUTO!

When you leave out all the little plot holes here and there

Pls wait for Naruto Z,it will be unveiled Kaguya is part of a species that invented chakra and all of them are super strong, after Sasuke and Naruto beat her they gain fractures of her power, others of her race now seek revenge and come to earth, sasuke und naruto have to train more to beat them

or that seeing as they are Kaguya's spiritual grand children they are part of the warior race that Kaguya oringally came from


now they must battle the oppressor that destroyed Kaguya's original planet making her a vengeful spirit

Assassination Classroom is coming out in December brah.

Byakugan is relevant and a female is kicking everyone's ass.

Sounds like Naruto, alright.

Well I could already tell from the chapter title that this would be a very particular chapter.

But got damn.

Would not be at all surprised if alien invasion comes up next.

Anything it takes to extend the life of this manga, is probably what Kishi and his Jump editors are thinking.

Pls Kishi no

He's going for a Gurren Lagann ending,
so Simon(Naruto) and Nia(Sasuke), along with everyone and their spiral power(chakra) will defeat the Anti-Spiral(Kaguya) with Naruto and Sasuke getting hitched at the end, only for Sasuke to disappear and Naruto to renounce his Hokage position and wander off alone forever.

Naruto

i dunno if anyone has called it already but i'm calling that Kaguya was the one that wrote the Uchiha stone tablet that knew a ton of shit and it was secretly the steps needed to revive her disguised as steps needed to become the ultimate jutsu user.
 
Naruto
What even happened with Madara, I don't get it. Super Weird. I wonder how they'll handle this.

Bleach
I liked this chapter. Ichigo is finally doing stuff.

Hunter x Hunter
Oh man, what a great chapter. A lot more info about the world, and setting up some conflicts for the future. I'm super excited.

Bleach 583

12 year old book, MC now has two attacks.


12 years, two attacks.


TWELVE FUCKING YEARS. MC ONLY KNOWS TWO ATTACKS.

No, Mugetsu does not count.
Why is a man who just got a power buff lying breathless in a large crater? Why is Captain Commander not here fucking everybody's shit up? Why do I expect more from this book? I am so sad.

Naruto 679

My little ninja can't be this fucked. Nowadays, odds like this are only overcome by John Cena. Good luck.

I am seriously considering that possibility. I mentioned aliens once as a joke but the more I think about it the less impossible it sounds though that would really change the tone of the entire series. She needs that zetsu army for something, right? Not just to sit around on a planet she's supposedly has taken over with the tree roots. The question is would Shueisha/shonen jump push it that far. There's not much of a problem with Kaguya being an alien herself since Kishi can hide behind the moon princess mythology, but it would feel weird to keep going with it. Kishimoto has been desperate to end this but they want to milk Naruto for all it's worth undeniably.

I just want to prepare myself mentally when alien shit goes down.
 
Naruto
What even happened with Madara, I don't get it. Super Weird. I wonder how they'll handle this.

I thought it showed Madara being taken over by the chakra, and then completely consumed and utilized as the material to rebuild Kaguya?

I think theyd still have to defeat Madara at the end of the day after the Kaguya plot, though he could always be saved by Hashirama who is still on the field. His backstory did make him out to be a loner, and I dont think Kishimoto would allow Madara to meet a sad end in the story.
 
Some Thoughts on Toriko (I know always this series :/ )

Reading HXH again I've released that they need to spice up the Goverment atmosphere in Toriko

They had some stuff with the IGO, the World War, the Revisit, the corrupt officials that go to the Casino and illegal fighting events, etc... but after Neo massacred the main IGO directors it fell semi flat

What would be interesting is if the illegal food items from places like the Gourmet Casino became rampant seeing as law and order vanished after Midora's Meteor spice

Also some civil wars breaking out in some regions especially since we've been told that around 6 nations collapsed


A new organization that may compete against IGO would be cool in a political sense

Anything would be better then the Billion Bird just making everything become cherry


Most of the food tasters went to Neo as well as one of the world most richest man and his organization



Also my Fav characters are dead

Hunter X Hunter 342

Very, very text heavy. Like 40 Bleach chapters worth. However, all interesting.

The ENTIRE WORLD exists only on a Sea in the middle of the Dark Continent? So the "Dark Continent" is not an actual Continent, just the rest of the world perhaps? And also interesting is that the news reporters said that dangerous B/A rank beasts on the Dark Continent are a myth which is bullshit because Chimaera Ants come from there. Are they still being covered up?

It also seems that
Ging and Pariston won't be playing nice with each other, and Ging wants him to use his Chimaera Ant storage. But for what reason?
