JoJo Part 5 Vento Aureo Vol 1-3
What happened to the art?
Nearly every main character design is horrendous, they look like some Nomura characters after years of meth.
I can't tell who's a male or a female any longer, and giving female names to everyone doesn't help.
I miss Part 4, I just want this to end.

You are just more forgiving towards other tropes.

Shojo is actively more garbage than shonen is most of the time. This is a fact, it just makes people feel special if they read shojo.

I hope the magic scroll contents is explained sooner rather than later. I always hate that trope of keeping whatever a thing is that is secret, secret for many many chapters.
Also didnt expect that the arc conflict was actually continuing. But Asta did need an upgrade.

Goddamn is Yugioh the most boring villain in a while. He's just generically kind of an arrogant prick, but not enough to really elicit any kind of reaction to him or anything he does.

At least soma is tackling the worst elite 10
other than Erina of course

Seems like you're stuck with more Erina though. She's shown up in the last 4 chapters in entirely different situations for no real reason. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the character's popularity convinced the authors to make her more present.

I've read all those except the last two. I think he's read at least Solanin and Punpun.
I don't remember him telling me that he wanted to be depressed, but I love this one.

Both Shounen and Shoujo are mistakes, they are nothing but trash.
Gotta wait for the defeat (or near defeat) before the some character development happens i guess

Some of the fights are pretty great, but otherwise it's probably the weakest Part.
Well, Onnanoko ga Shinu Hanashi might be a tad depressing as well.
Yeah, what happened?

I think I'm finally back in a manga phase. I was out camping this weekend, and I read a few volumes of Touch, 6 (or more, perhaps?) volumes of 20th Century Boys, and re-read half of the first punpun volume.
20th Century Boys Vol. 8-15
I was starting to get annoyed with how slowly this was moving, but after the death of
, things became more interesting again. Right now, they skipped more time after the expo, and I'm just trying to follow everything again. Finally get used to all the dense info and every character's story, but then there's a timeskip. I'm shocked at how this series is so long.
Touch Vol. 2-4
Pretty cute. I read pretty slowly in Japanese, so I can't just zoom through this or Punpun, but it's enjoyable.

Oh so its back from hiatus?
I find the way how shoujo tries to stretch itself amusing sometimes. For romance in shounen, it drags on by having the couple never know that they like each other.
In Shoujo, it's usually a large set of chapters full of misunderstandings or "what is this feeling that I'm having". lol
I don't read too many shoujo's. If I do, it's one that's more middle groundish (imo) like Kaibutsu-kun.

Apparently? I don't read that mag so I don't know but I saw number 7 set to be released in July so it's either back from hiatus or they just finished up the chapters necessary for Book 7, lol
Man it feels weird when peopel suddenly change their name like that.
I think I'm still gonna call you Aizo~

Its along the same lines of when people claim to want to see people actually get into relationships in manga/anime even though that is almost always so boring as to have its own trope name. It just ends up with contrived bullshit to get over the fact that its boring, e.g. main love interest gets put on a bus to nowhere for a long time, main love interest dies so we can start a different one, love triangle via third party interested in main character (who will they choose?!).

From what I hear Part 5 is the second most popular part after Stardust Crusaders in Japan.

I'll still answer to that. I just thought it might be easier for people to remember or reproduce the name if it were shorter.
I'm flattered that I'm remembered ;_;

you could at least choose a trope where the anime/manga examples aren't outnumbered by the anime/manga aversions 5 to 1.

cite your sources otherwise you just have an opinion
Dat fujoshi market power.
Yeah, I don't think you thought this through lol
The irony.

I didn't realize I could state "X is boring" without it being an opinion. I will never understand how explaining how something is actually an opinion is a thing people bring up, like ever.
Besides, the listed examples are dumb anyways because any negative-associated trope gets a bunch of people climbing over themselves to add why their favorite series doesn't do that one. Relationships resulting in shenanigans is pretty standard fare.

Very popular with the ladies. I remember a long time ago when the last JoJo fighting game was announcing characters live, the part 5 characters would come up and you would hear an EXPLOSION of fangirl squeals.

So how many earths could fit in the world of Toriko. Surprised that in this tiny area of gourmet world this undersea area is the size of the United States.

I'll always remember you as the dog that built the MechaKurita to take over the world (I still chuckle remembering that pic).

Too short!
Thank you. I don't know if Kurita loves it as much as I do. I don't remember the context hahah.
Anyone knows what's the story behind this?

I think we somehow ended up describing Kurita and this was the end result
I had my face as an avatar, and posted a picture of my Gaimon shirt.
Then this happened. A masterpiece!

It started with this post:here
I guess Kurita posted a picture of a shirt that he got, so I posted his old avatar of his face above the shirt to see what the full body of Kurita looks like. Then, Kurita said that he had no legs, so Dresden posted some legs he found on the internet (?)
Kurita then said he needed arms, or at least a right arm, so I then created Kuritabot in MS paint.
[Source]
I wonder how the Kuritabot would look today.
Hahaha, that's amazing.

I hope a good group is singing the song.
I dunno if they're gonna have just one song or if they do OP/ED but so far it's a female idol unit featuring the actress playing Misa Misa.
