Another outstanding Type.90 work. It's got a bit of everything: the aliens, the search for an ancient civilization's secret, the weird experiments, the passionate belief that a man can overcome his lust and, above all else, the delicious art. Oh man how much I adore Type.90.
Personally, I find the series rather mediocre. The premise is quite amusing, but I don't feel there is much compelling in how it plays out. I guess I am bored of yet another high school drama though.
So... it's like usagi drop, except set in an expy of Nazi Germany, with the dude being a cellist and the girl being an incredibly powerful psychic user.
Well I hope Darui fans were happy with that one random close panel of him...
Surprised that Naruto and even Sasuke were just blasted back like that directly with the face grab of sorts, Juubi is quite strong indeed. Both will have to work together to really do some damage. Well that is what I want to happen.
Keigo's face was hilarious, but then that heartfelt concern for Ichigo made it feel tragic and sad. I don't want that conclusion to take place as it would just leave Bleach on a sad end of sorts. That is unless somehow Keigo and co can also have some sort of abilities in the coming days, doing something worthwhile with Ichigo for one last time.
Kubo ought to have given an Ichigo moment or so before doing this extended break. Putting the main attraction here would have made the chapter much better than it was, as after the first page it just felt like a ton of moments just to satisfy the chapter length requirement.
Pretty messy chapter offering little to no plot progression made it pretty dull and unexciting. Hopefully the break will enable Oda to reevaluate the arc--that is, finally bring the Straw Hats back front and center.

I don't think I've ever seen someone drop the ball so hard in the final volume but the author's sure as hell pulled off an impressive feat for all the wrong reasons. Jesus christ, I don't think I'm gonna bother with New Waves unless someone can convince me it's totally worthwhile after this shitty ending.
Well, that and the series consisting almost entirely of such unlikeable characters outside of the MC (he was such a whiny shit at the beginning) and a handful of others.
New Waves makes the MC become really awesome and is a step up after the ending to The Breaker (though the start is a bit slow because of the way The Breaker ends). Plus awesome old men fight raging on now.
Naruto
Confusing as is the case when large scale battles happen in Naruto and Kishi jumps from character to character. I really don't understand what Juubito is doing with that black spear or whatever. Anyways Madara appears so I hope we can get to his trump card. Sasuke is a boss telling Naruto what to do lol. Sakura is nowhere to be seen, making me happy. Lets see next week what happens with Sauce and Naruto in danger.
Bleach
Dem feels! ;_;
12 years of Bleach. God damn the feelings in my chest. Kubo is going to rock the world with this last arc. So excited yet sad that Bleach is really heading towards the end. It might take a year or 2 but it will end and that is a bittersweet feeling.
As for the chapter. Good guy Kyoraku, hyping up Ichigo's powerup even more than before. Also sending Ichigo back home to relax would be nice before the battles start.
There was a nice focus on Orihime this chapter and her words rang true. Not wanting war and the threat of losing people.
The drawing of SS turning into that palace thing was wonderful. Then the addition to the limerick was a nice twist. Guess Ywach or Kubo forgot to add that he took 9 months to invade the 3 worlds and then the 9 days are to take over the world. But the way Ywach said it sounded better.
One Piece
I really disliked the focus on the other pirates. Especially the short tempered brothers. I'd rather have more of Lucy beating up more people or back to the Sunny fight or even Law vs Don vs Admiral.
Keigo's face was hilarious, but then that heartfelt concern for Ichigo made it feel tragic and sad. I don't want that conclusion to take place as it would just leave Bleach on a sad end of sorts. That is unless somehow Keigo and co can also have some sort of abilities in the coming days, doing something worthwhile with Ichigo for one last time.
I get the feeling we are getting back story on quincies, hollows, and shinigami as races come September since "The Separation Story" is what will kick off the next phase of the Thousand Year Blood War.
Wow I'm not the first to comment on a Toriko chapter, good stuff good stuff.
Toriko 242
I don't understand, i really don't understand how the hell every chapter in this fucking manga manage to give me an injection of hype in the brain
let's analyze the last 5 chapters so it doesn't take too long
237: Fucking Hype Jirou is moving!
238: Fucking Hype Toriko has won
239: I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD!!!
240: Fucking Hype Joa is here
241: Fucking Hype Frohze's face plus Joa having her knife
242: Fucking Hype
Jirou is a fucking beast!
I don't know man not even One Piece gave me such emotions. It's like watching Gurren Lagann all over again.

I figured Don Chinjao had Conqueror's Haki. I saw this argument on ArlongPark that it made no sense, but when you consider that it's supposedly a "1 in 1 million chance", it actually makes perfect sense. Alabasta has 10 million people, that's at least 10 people with Conqueror's Haki.
Also, it's the New World, the best of the best. It wouldn't surprise me to see more people with that level of Haki. Especially since nobody in Paradise had it.
I couldn't tell what the Funk Bros were doing.
See you in two weeks, but take as much time as you need Oda. 21 hour work days are not healthy.
Volume 1 I had to buy used since it was $73 new and I was not paying that fuck that. But 2-5 were $12 and were covered under Amazon Prime (God I love my AP account)

Aizen was literally made up on the spot during SS arc he was meant to stay dead but Kubo changed the whole story for him. He was fun at start but him knowing everything was boring as shit after a while plus he never actually did or achieve anything

Yeah, but that isn't the point. There wasn't anything else prior to that which would make it different if he inserted Aizen there or not. There were like 450-500 chapters before we got YWACH.
I was hoping to Lucy...Luffy, to finish his group fight this chapter, yet we got more fodder and at least another chapter of him on "group C", hell at this rate the tournament will end at chapter 1000.
What other shonen villain has meme status on this board or on the internet overall?
His trolling and whatnot is referenced in MANY contexts outside of Bleach or hell even Anime/manga.
You can't say the same for ANY other Shonen villain. Not Orochimaru, Madara, Crocodile, The Admirals, Hisoka, Father,Wrath, Raizen, Sensui, Cars and ACDC, etc.
They aren't even in the same stratosphere. The only ones who SORT of come close are DBZ villains.
Personally, I think Bleach is complete garbage outside of Aizen, honestly. He's the most entertaining part of the series.
