If it is sunrise doing the OPM anime then it would be great if the part of the studio that does Gintama when it goes into high gear would do it.

Even if it's Sunrise I still can't see how the hell they would be able to animate scenes such as when Saitama destroyed the gigantic meteor. That would literally suck up all the budget they have just to animate it and even much more would be too much. Also add to the fact that anime adaptations from Young Jump never get big budgets. I mean look at Terra Formars a series that was selling really really good even before the adaption got a shit budget. So why would OnePunch Man get a really big budget when other series haven't.

I know I'm being a bit pessimistic but still imo a series such as OnePunch Man should never get adapted into a TV format. It would of been a lot better if it were in a Movie format since it would get a better budget. Anyways I really do hope for the best because I don't want the series to be ruined.

I really like that the author provides little notes about the chapters that gives more insight into what happens.

This is a fun reread of the series. Noticing all the small things in the background that are easily overlooked gives me a greater appreciation of this entire series.
 
Shingeki no Kyojin 67

Guess I couldn't wait..... The English sentences are fine and understandable, it is just that sometimes false scenarios are written up... This likely a translating error

(An Example when Historia said that she "turned into a Titan..." she "didn't eat him".... even though what actually happened was that she refused to turn into a Titan and eat him)

Plus I assumed the chapter skipped some pages seeing as the chapter started post Eren's transformation but after seeing that the characters decided to recap the scenario that occurred I instantly realized that the author decided to skip it....


Anyway we went back full circle and have now given up on the royal family plot and are now returning back to the original mission of Eren's basement.

Sucks how crunchyroll is basically useless in Japan, cancelled my account.
Would be nice if region restrictions didn't apply to international accounts.

I just want simple drawings and good animation, is that too much to ask?
Yes it is.
 
SakuLove 01


The story of one guy who has an incredibly shitty friend. Like find new friends already. Oh and I guess he falls in love with a girl or something.

But, yeah, find some new friends, I feel bad for you.

For a series like OnePunch Man I'd say definitely.

So, per Lelesocho instriuctions, I made my way to Shibuya today for Kiyohiko Azuma autograph session.

Unfortunately all the instructions given were in Japanese and no one seemed to speak english, but a girl was nice enough to use a translation app to try and convey to me what was going on.

Too many people showed up so I didn't get to meet the author, though they gave the rest of us a paper to write our names on and pick an autograph at the store in a week or have it sent home. Not quite the same, but better than nothing. A bit bummed over not meeting the author, especially due to the 3-4 hour waiting standing up, but I suppose I can't be too annoyed over it.

I did go eat at Danboard Coffee, a bit more expensive than I'd like, but I was hungry and figure I might as well treat myself.





And here's me with LeleSocho waiting for the food


And here's a reveal of me, because why not.

Lots more pictures here. Including a lot of Danboard.


Sorry for the off topic, but somewhat manga related so I figure I'd share.


Didn't notice and doujin Yuri, just original works.

I did see this though.


"New Game" is a lot more popular than I expected though, I see a lot of it.



It's good, didn't been in as many places as I'd like seeing as today was only my second free day since I arrived, but I try to look around when I can. You?



If I happen to wonder into such stores I'll keep that in mind!

I wish I had more time off. Between work, school, studying Japanese, music, friends, and my girlfriend, it is hard to fit in manga. If I do read, I have to choose that over games...

I wanna read more ;__;
Somebody make me translate something fun. That way, it can count as my Japanese study time.

I feel your pain. Hell, I'm on Spring Break at the moment, but all the other shit I've wanted to do this past week has overshadowed any new manga reading, aside from the latest chapters of the usual stuff I follow.
 
Remember the name Yusaku Shibata. I know only like three others read Yoakemono. But this guy is going to be a superstar. Got my volumes in and his art is superb, distinct characters and style, action is crisp and dynamic, it just so fluid and vivacious. It's just a disgrace that one of the replacement series for it was Sporting Salt. Go fuck yourselfs Jump editors.

I've hardly been reading manga in the last year. I used to post so often here! I haven't even kept up with one piece. I used to love reading that every week. I was up to date with I Am a Hero, but then they didn't release the newest volume for kindle... I think I'm only up to date with Boku wa Mari no Naka. I used to also be up to date with Otoyomegatari, Vinland Saga, and Billy Bat. At least I'm up to date with Berserk and HxH hahahaha.. ha... :(

I should just push and get up to date with all my stuff. I took a break from Naruto, after reading it weekly for ten years, last year... still haven't finished that piece of crap.

Been Rereading One Punch Man lately. Does ONE even get paid for OPM? Dude deserves mad dues.

Not often One author has more than 1 A rank manga. only reason OPM and Mob Psycho 100 aren't in my S rank tier are due to...
1. Still ongoing with no clear sight of end.
2. Feel its too premature to consider both S rank.

Having said that though, ONE so far already is for me an S rank mangaka. I have no doubt the endings for both will be great.

Recently scouring youtube and man screwattack are stupid as hell. why so much garbage in youtube these days...

Kiyoshi first time taken, many times.

On the other side of the coin, an old man at my local station asked "sex?". I am now officially traumatized.
Probably doesn't help the area around the station is full of love hotels.

But yes, I love how Risa finally grew into the role to take over Andre.
Curious to see what will happen when Meiko returns to normal.

iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls - Happy Ending (doujin)
Every Mayu ending is a happy ending. I see her as more of a harmer than a self-harmer, but artistic license etc. Another missed opportunity for the anime, not that I'm still bitter about it. Not in the slightest. At all.

What's up with the monologues at the end of each chapter of Bungaku Shoujo?

Foreboding.
Suicidal Mime manga or one of the light novels? Either way, you have my blessing.

Wait, what?
Exactly as it sounds, was walking in my local station and an old man starts saying something, I don't understand so I get closer until I realize he's pointing at himself and saying "sex?", at which poinr I say no and quickly walk away. Amusingly he said " no, thank you", cause I guess you should be polite even when a random someone proposes intercourse.

Oddle enough people pointed him to a different street afterwards. I have no idea why.

No manga had prepared me for this. In manga its always young girls that get harassed by old men!

Now that is weird.
When i read your previous post, i was thinking that the old man is a pimp and want to offer you one of his girl, not the man himself.

That sounds pretty bizarre. I wonder if this is a normal thing? It seems like other people didn't find it very strange from the way they handled it.

I don't think any manga could have prepared you for this.
Any SFW manga that is.

honestly bit disappointed with Asakusa. is one of those big famous place that simply to crowded and IMO nothing really special other than big temple

Yeah, walked a bit there (though didn't stay long, was on my way from Akihabara to Tokyo Skytree) and didn't look that amazing.
I'll have to check Kanda, especially since I might start commuting there to work.

Those are some really awesome drawings, great pics.

Well, it's entirely possible he was a pimp and was merely pointing at himself for me to follow him. I think I might go with that for the sake of my sanity.

World has changed dani, prepare for any future surprised in Japan!

I thought I was prepared for everything already :(

Yeah, was a bit difficult for me to make sense of the rest of thr situation afterwards since I couldn't grasp the conversation itself.

If you like seafood, you should definitely visit the Tsukiji Market one morning. It's a delicious place.

I don't know why I stopped reading this other than I was probably really focused on Uni, Kiyoshi's idea of how to get a girl to kiss people is really messed up thanks to what happened with Hana, I could see what happened with Shingo x Anzu as soon as he mentioned the bottle. Still I would ship Kiyoshi x Hana even though he currently likes Chiyo, but I guess she'll have more significance as the story goes on.

I also saw the Wing's Hana figure, it's quite detailed, even comes with a little cut up plastic bottle.
