Dragonaut- DROPPED
I can't deal with the jealous best friend who is out for revenge because his man/dragon slave was taken by his bestie and is not his man/dragon slave as he try to get his dragon babe, which killed his family, while and evil 3rd faction tries to create then own man/dragon slaves because they are jealous that they don't have any..... All the while, there is corruption in the space program.... *blurp*
Basilisk ep.1
Holy crap this was bloody and violent, plus forbidden loves with tragedy! Definitely some ninja edgelord $hit, but pretty awesome at the same time! I might be able to get behind this one! Let's hope it stays interesting at least.

so if one time he only expected it to be a 2 week hiatus with a back issue and it turned out to be a two year hiatus... how long will a "I will return by the end of the year" hiatus be

WSJ should just cut him a deal. Bi-weekly chapters or something. HxH always places at #2 below One Piece when its running and they let Oda skip a chapter a month so they should make some concessions for Togashi.
Then again Togashi might be too stubborn or WSJ is too strict. Who knows.

Hahahaha. I'm still surprised I made it through it. Seriously, the subbers at the time that did it fucking hated it.
Too much plot for me and I actually like heavy plots.Some of them have elite levels of plot though.

He should just tell the anime staff the plot and let them finish...
Or just publish in the monthly JUMP SQ.
New Game S2 08
This feels like a breather episode while they also play around with the new character and try to understand her better. She is indeed a fairly amusing addition and it's always interesting to see how she interacts with different members of the team. The awkward moments with her are unlike Hifumi where she is uncomfortable but Momo just doesn't find the idea of interacting with people interesting while also quite determined to land a good impression. That aspect of her is also quite releatable.
Naru on the other hand offers little in the way of amusement but not that it's bad and keeping that in mind, there's little we see from the programmer's end. Nene and Ahagon make a great pair as usual, Naru from what we know doesn't look like she is going to add much to their dynamic at this point but I'm interested to see their side of the story too.

Last I heard it was mostly the first one.
Togashi doesn't like being stuck in a time line. At this point he just wants to work when he wants to work on it.
even bi weekly chapters would cost him some of that freedom that he wants.
really from the sounds of it he is an absolute nightmare to have as an employee for WSJ, but since HxH is still quite popular they put up with it so that they can continue to publish a story that draws in good numbers.
that could work if he knew the plot, but outside of very broad ideas I doubt he has much of an idea of where his plot is going until he gets there.
that was obvious with the ant arc where he kept doing random pointless crap over and over just drawing out the arc while he tried to figure out how to connect his major points of the arc.

God, never. Id rather have nothing then a continuation not helmed directly by Togashi
from the stories about how hard he was worked during YYH hes earned the right to be shitty and stubborn to WSJ tbh

Does Togashi not have any super close artist friends that could serve as a backup or something?
Surely he must know at the rate he's going with HxH in his current health he's gonna end up not finishing it himself.
I really doubt both he and WSJ would want the manga to remain unfinished.
They really need to cut some kinda deal at some point to sort this whole thing out.

Togashi is married to the mangaka for Sailor Moon, so together with the Sailor Moon/YYH/HxH combo of three very popular series historically, one would assume they don't need to do anything because of the royalties.
But Togashi is Japanese and a mangaka, so he surely has some drive to finish it on his own. I mean you would not decide to become a mangaka if you wanted to half-ass something and are not driven to working yourself to exhaustion.

Surely people shouldn't even expect him not to half-ass the 'ending' of the fairly large bloat that HxH has become, even if he were working on the manga regularly.
Any statement other than "Kushida a best" has been shown to be fundamentally untrue in ep 2 or 3 already. Please apply yourself.
It's a test of whether they're smart enough to cheat duh.Elite academy doesn't change exam questions year to year.
¯\_(ツ
I would rather say it's far fetched beyond belief.
nu-uh.
Basilisk is pretty good. I think I may have watched the live action movie before the anime and found that enjoyable as well (for a Japanese, effects-driven movie).
Hmmm, far fetched is a better criticism. I'll do a longer writeup in a bit.

Yeah, I'm done. I can't do it. The friend character is so bad and his motivations are terrible. Then he said, "What do you know about losing someone" immediately follow a flashback of him trying to console the kid who's family was killed in the first 2 mins of the show... Like GTFO... it was BAAAD!
Good to hear. I can't watch anymore of Dragonaut and I'm probably the most forgiving anime watcher here, lol.
man... rewatching yuu yuu hakusho and I am trying to figure out the timing of stuff of who was inspired by who.
the elder tagoro is clearly inspired by parasyte to a degree.
now the question with the younger tagoro....
did dragon ball do the power levels with freeza first, or did they do it with tagoro first?
and then if dragon ball did it first with freeza, did dragon ball do the awaken a hidden power to protect others thing first in the android saga or did yuu yuu with the tagoro fight lol?
though I suppose it's also a dead person inspires the one fighting scene going on as well which was also cell saga vs dark tournament lol.

I will say, I am one for liking fan service usually, but the fact they have big boobs flopping fucking everywhere, and never explained or even mentioned about their boob sizes and how they work just irritated the shit out of me. Like, if you have big boobs, at least give us some gawking or something ecchi. They don't even fucking do that. They give you nothing. The show promises nothing, and still gives less than that.
Youkoso 08
This episode had:
- Secret party wanting 50% out of his school. (Secret experiment lab guys ?)
- His own teacher using that to blackmail him into becoming 100%. As in; giving shit and striving for the top spot in class rivalry.
-----
- Sadly, plain offensive treatment of the only black character in the show.
50% surprising but not hearing Sakura when she practiced her confession and maybe the funniest thing of it all, even the Oniisama/Oreki combo that is 50 %, who pretty much reads and manipulates everyone he meets didn't realize she has a crush on him.
The greatest love story ever told aka the return of crazy Kushida.
Who I only now realize is sporting a goddamn sharingan of sorts, she literally changes the colour of her eyes when she switches between her "modes".
-----
I was honestly laughing throughout, even it being a set-up ep, it was such a precious combination of so bad, so Onii-sama, so anime, and of some actually interesting insights into the characters (cause yes we found out more about Ayanokouji and Kushida) that I'm not sure if I hate it or I love it. Maybe I love to hate it, I hate to love it.
Edit: Oh I of course forgot about CG chess.
Actually correct chess in my anime. Eat your heart out Geass.

How often do we see non threatening or offensive black guys in Anime. I usually see a racist caricature in some form, a buff body builder used as the muscle, or both.
I will think about this after work but there are a few shows.
first one I think of is jojo. I mean he is a thief but in the scale of power in that show he is pretty much non threatening

Unison Square Garden are doing the OP for Kekkai Sensen S2.
It's the same band that did season 1 Ending. Can't wait tbh.

Classroom of the Elite aka Edgelord Academy, Episode 8 - So I learned something interesting over on r/anime. Apparently Horikita isn't the "Main Girl." Apparently the secondary lead rotates from arc to arc.
Onto the episode itself. Yeah, this is defintely a light novel adaptation. It shares a lot of the same problems I had with Re;Zero, it introduces plot points or elements only to immediately push them to the background because "We'll leave that for the second season, if we actually get one."
I also dug the SAO Abridged version of him.

Gundam 0083 has at least two black characters who I don't think fit the typical depiction in anime. But I struggle to instantly recall much beyond that.

Gundam hot blooded kids had the mechanic guy. I don't know if him getting with the white girl should be considered a stereotype or not though. The one kid's reaction when he found out though was pretty messed up.

How bout Pedro in A Silent Voice?
Valdfellgar

Oh yeah him. I don't think the reaction had to do with Skin color though. Maybe I'm miss remembering, as the scene didn't leave a strong impression on me, but I thought it more had to do with surprise that they'd even grown close enough to have a relationship. Since we hadn't seen much in the way of hints about it.
