Tsk. If this had been more competently handled, it could've been a very touching story about a jaded schoolboy and a mysterious girl affixed to his dead mother's 'grave'. As it was, it was deathly dull in places, and I ended up skimming significant parts of it. The endgame twist was rather brilliant, but it would've had a much greater impact if everything before it had been on the same level.

Well yotsuba is sweet but well, I have a daughter myself I don't need to read the stuff a little girl does, it is just I'm not interested to read it further.

Punpun is just annoying, I can't believe any tennager is as dumb as this guy, Aknu no hana is a fantastic manga about a loser protag.
Punpun just tries too hard and we see a kid going fully mental eventhough his life wasn't THAT bad

I can't understand how anyone read Swagomoto as a series. One chapter was ok but now it is just.. well stupid and silly.
Urahara showing up with the pills is word for word the definition you just quoted. Are you illiterate?
That´s a different argument all together, and i agree with a lot of what you said, but that does not mean the shinigami should again to regain their bankai. They already did that the first time.I do not agree, which is the foundation of where we differ here. The shinigami, in an astonishing display of ignorance and short-sightedness, all unleashed their bankai at the same time, knowing full well that the enemy had some method of suppressing them. "We'll only find out by using them, der!" And then they were gone. It was a huge tactical error, and they were soundly thrashed because of it.
How do they redeem themselves for this blunder? They perfect other skills, thinking they can compensate. The other skills are not good enough, and they are defeated anyway. Their best effort simply was not good enough. They have earned defeat, fair and square.
Then Urahara shows up, undoes their initial blunder for them, and now they get to fight at full power again. Great work, Shinigami, you have learned nothing, because you were bailed out by Urahara at the last second. Your seemingly unsolvable problem was suddenly and abruptly resolved by the contrived an unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability, or object.

Hellstar Remina 1-6 (END)
Life's Lessons #3031 - If you're going to name a newly discovered star after your daughter, do make reasonable checks to ensure that the star isn't a malevolent cosmic entity intent on consuming the planet you inhabit.
I've only read a couple of Junji Ito's works, but this was the most enjoyable so far. The first few chapters were basically an exercise in making an innocent young girl suffer as much as possible, meaning I found them hugely enjoyable. Unfortunately, in the second half the absurdity went beyond my tolerance levels and my interest plummeted like a space shuttle entering a planet's atmosphere. Still had fun with it overall, but it didn't live up to my initial expectations.
The last game was crazy brah.Slam Dunk (Vol. 25-31;End)
Epic, relationship developing high five!
I actually didn't want it to end. I could have read Slam Dunk for twice the length to see where all their lives end up. I think there was still much development to be had, and the ending seemed pretty sudden to me. The last game was also really dragged out. Minor complaints from an overall enjoyable experience.
This is the first long-running sports manga that I've finished!
Now I can get back to Eyeshield!

It's cool to read silly things.
Not sure what's hard to get.
Wait, you really thinkwasn't THAT bad? Jesus christ.growing up in an abusive household & being raped by his soon to be aunt
Bad ? Yes, bad enough to justify going mental and then being obsessed with killing his childhood friend? NOPE.Wait, you really thinkwasn't THAT bad? Jesus christ.growing up in an abusive household & being raped by his soon to be aunt
I'm going to guess you meant something like "that does not mean the shinigami should have to [do something] to regain their bankai." Let's focus on this, since it's the thrust behind why I think Urahara is kinda deus.
I think the Shinigami should absolutely have to earn their bankai back, since it's their own dumb faults they lost them. You've said a couple times now that since the Shinigami at one point already earned their Bankai, namely when they originally produced it, they shouldn't have to do so ever again. That doesn't really stand to reason with me, since they threw them away so irresponsibly. One negates the other. If it was really just Yhwach showing up, pressing a button, then all bankais were stolen, we might have a different situation here. It was an external third party that would've stolen them with no fault of the Shinigami, so an external third party (Urahara) showing up to restore them with no involvement of the Shinigami would've worked okay. Kind of a private behind-the-scenes battle between Yhwach and Urahara. I still think it woulda been more interesting for the Shinigami to have to work it out during their battles somehow, deduce the mechanic and overcome it, but at least I wouldn't have felt totally cheated.
But that's not what happened. The Shinigami got themselves into that mess (not counting Sasakibe, who literally spent his dying breath to warn them and prevent this kind of thing from happening), and it makes for a much better story if they get themselves out of it. As-is, Sasakibe's effort was for nothing, and the Shinigami who threw their Bankais away all got healed up and given them back for free. No lessons learned, because their actions didn't have personal consequences.
So in this context, I think Urahara is a Deus ex machina because, despite a hint here and there that he was working on the problem, his appearance was during the climax, and his solution required no Shinigami involvement. He literally flipped a switch. Brought pills, teleported them. Shinigami just had to touch them. Now, if he had showed up with a strategy instead, communicated to the Shinigami that the stealing mechanism had a weakness, and then each Shinigami had to find a way in his own battle to exploit that weakness, overcome the Quincy, and retrieve their bankai themselves, then Urahara would've just been a useful nudge, not a cure-all panacea. They would have earned their bankais back, and Urahara would've been a co-conspirator, not a walking talking "problem erased."
