I hope you're being sarcastic, if you didn't like "impossible things" bail out now on Medaka Box
No sarcasm in the post. I tend to fail at it anyway lol. I won't bail though, I have no problem with shows going supernatural when it was sorta realistic at one time. Katekyo Hitman Reborn was the same. For a whole year it was wacky but no crazy powerrs. Suddenly superpower mob battles appeared, but the transition was better to me if I can remember correctly with the Mukuro Arc.

It was the way it happened that it didn't appeal to me. Enforcer Arc was average Medaka Box unti the battle with the Head Enforcer. I just didn't like how in the same arc she's now punching people (described as a cannon) causing them to fly into the air, her bones are breaking but she isn't phased, and she has super strength that she can move the school's solid walls.

Now that I know what I can expect next arc, I'll be fine.

We don't need more joke posters.

Fine! I'll take my bags and leave. Good day to you sir!
 
The Demon Prince of the Momochi House 03

Your typical shojo heroine tries to step it up and be useful and fails at it. Though I guess it wasn't bad since she admitted her faults quickly and we're given with a d'awww moment at the end.

Dolls Fall Chapter 1

soAWTpD.jpg
Genres: Horror, Mystery, Psychological, School Life, Shounen

In Dolls Fall, we have an orphanage called Jiaiin Girls Dormitories that takes in middle school girls without families. The matrons are nice and teach the children to view each other as sisters, while they act as their mothers. Very welcoming place, and there's only two absolute rules you must follow:

1. At night, lock your doors and don't leave your room.
2. Never enter a matron's room.

What happens if you break one of the two? Well, find out for yourself by reading this manga. The first chapter in this new series doesn't disappoint.
 
Im loving The Basketball Which Kuroko Plays even though there are things it could do alot better or add. Ill say it again, the idea of the Generation of Miracles is hilarious and crazy but I love it. It has a dash of Prince of Tennis to it. I just finished the Midori game. Amazing stuff. The series seems primed for a timeskip though, if they beat all the Generation of Miracles or lose to one. So glad I preordered the figures for November.


Speaking of figures, has anyone seen those minifigs anywhere that were released to celebrate Jumps anniversary? They were releleasing them in waves monthly.

Attack on Titan

Ok so I watched about 5 episodes of attack on Titan last night.

This Anime is...interesting but slightly strange. The Titans themselves are really odd and weird they really bugged me out, quite frightening. I am looking forward to seeing where this goes and would very much like to know where these bloody things are coming from and why they only attack humans.

It felt like a kind of God like purge of humans, the way that huge titan is magically inserted by the wall and then taken away again.

Yes, good but like I said strange.

In Japan there are various magazines for various manga types, right? Like Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen, etc.

Are there also magazines for explicit content such as Yaoi, Yuri, Hentai, Guro, and that kind of thing?

Yes to everything except Guro. At least I don't think there are any that specialise in guro.

Yes, a lot of time they just compile tanks which may have already been released in other forms with a common theme. Comic Unreal is one that comes to mind right now but there are others.

Hmm thanks guys for the answers.

Yeah I am not sure about Guro, but the fact that it exists must mean that there must be a market for it, right? One, scary market....

Hentai magazines though. Do people read it casually outside like typical magazines? I don't know where I get the impression but for some reason that is how I imagine people do things in Japan regarding mangas and such, hahaha.

I would assume most people read hentai magazines like they would porn magazines, in private. Most manga magazines are made to be read once and then thrown out so I imagine it's not that uncommon to see people reading normal manga magazines on the train or bus like someone would a newspaper. Someone who actually lives in Japan would know more then me though.

OPM (ONE) 53-92

ONE can pull of some incredible stuff when he goes all out.

Man, I thought this stuff with S-Class was dragging at first but it really did give this series that much needed shift from the usual formula (bad guy + busy/wacky/whatever saitama = one punch kill + shocked reactions) and mixed things up a bit with the eccentricities of the Major Heroes. It made the inevitable fight between Saitama and Garou (who started off fairly strongly but turned into this massive weenie) all the more cathartic and incredible to watch unfold. All this needs to end on is King being in just the right place to take all the credit while doing pretty much absolutely nothing.

Speaking of King, I'd argue he well and truly is the "strongest" of them all as his ability to make the enemies utterly shit themselves into second-guessing themselves to inaction by just muttering a few words and making the odd gesture every now and then really is something in it's own right. Especially when you consider just how utterly fucking horrified at how easily he could be killed. I really can't wait to see Murata adapt this stuff because it's going to be utterly hilarious with his art.

also the hotpot scene reminded me of that incredible gintama episode
