Or that little Yakuza guy in White in that episode of the Simpsons who just stood there and Homer was really interested to see what kind of move he would do.
 
Bakuman


what a fucking perfect chapter, the other guys in team Fukuda were jealous of Eiji, but it really show what a guy Eiji is, to be doing 2 mangas at once. I also think the relation ship between Otter's mangaka and his editor is so funny, it's like the editor is his god.

I forgot who that guy was, and why he has a Porsche.

Bakuman is a good read, but you can already see where the storylines are going, and they are already branching away from the actual manga again.

Everybody bitching about Eiji kinda pissed me off, but otherwise awesome chapter.

Agreed. I was reading it thinking "man up the lot of you, stop bitching about Eiji getting another series, improve your own shit"

As for Iwase, her sexual frustration towards Shujin is getting to extreme levels. I hope they never end up in the same room alone.

That was sort of what I'm saying. It's just too similar to Aoki for my tastes. You just know the "defrosting the Ice Queen" arc is coming, even though we already had it with Aoki. Although my guess, she'll get taken down a few notches by having some kind of dispute with Eiji over the direction of her series.

I would hate for this arc to be the one where Eiji discovers he has hormones. Who the fuck knows what he'd do. (Does he have hormones? :lol )
 
It kind of annoys me in Bakuman how everyone cares so much about the well being of the fellow mangaka's series. I'm sure in real life they are all blowing loads over each other if anything happens to affect the well being of their series.

"Oh noes! Crow could drop from 3 rankings ahead of mine to 2 behind?! FUCK NO."
 
Someone told me that the Chinese Naruto forums already have fanfic Danzo x Hiruzen yaoi on them :lol

I really would like to think it would never happen, but then again, Ohba DID give us Near and Mello.

Eiji and Iwase are already hyper exaggerated versions of Fukuda and Aoki in the first place.
 
Naruto

Pick another theme Kishi how many Sasuke/naruto type bromances can you have in one series?



Bakuman

Eiji and Otters are the best thing about the series right now. Hopefully meeting the parents doesn't turn into some shitty drama arc.


HxH

Seeing Gon intimidate one of the guards is fucking epic. Inexperience on the part of Pitou could be his/her downfall.

I have a suspicion that Miyoshi's parents are pretty much just like Miyoshi. But maybe not. It seems like "stern" parents are exactly the type that Takagi would easily impress anyways since he was already a genius outside of manga. Miyoshi is still a better character than that stupid chick that won't talk to Mashiro unless they get married for some stupid ass reason which makes no sense at all.

I'm still behind on HxH, since I gave up during one of the hiatuses.
 
Eiji is the best manga character I've seen in a while :lol

Looks like it's all love story in the next chapter, though. I hope not.

So is Danzo a good guy?
He WAS. I never thought his motives were supposed to be sinister though. He's just one of those warhawk patriot-types; in other words, Republican-nin.

:lol I laughed way too hard at this. Although I think it had more to do with the sudden mental image of Dick Cheney wearing a naruto headband and ill-fitting traditional black ninja garb.
 
Angry Grimace said:

Had his own sense of justice. Like how in One Piece I see Akainu not as a villain but just as a guy who really loves justice.

Like he REALLY loves justice. He'd kill for it.
 
Pandaman said:
of course, why would you think he's a bad guy?
I dunno, maybe that parts where he murdered Naruto's frog summoner, stole Tsunade's job and plucked the eyeball out of a drowned corpse and stuck it in his own eye socket.
 
To me, Danzo just seems like the kind of guy who will do terrible things and then justify it by saying he's doing it for the greater good. I wouldn't consider people like that "good", although in his defense ninja are supposed to act that way.

I don't think he's any more of a good guy than Sengoku.

Most people wouldn't think that the things they do are evil. I'd say the most evil villains are the ones who really think they're good.

He's a republican ninja.

I finally got to read the new chapters.

Bleach

I never knew Soi Fon could multiply herself like that. The panel where Shinji appears was so badass. It's like, "Ha, caught you bitch." but why did it have to be fucking Hitsugaya of all people? I don't think that's an illusion, so I'm sure that Aizen is hurt. He'll probably retreat. I must say that their plan was excellent.

Naruto

Damn, it must suck realizing that Danzou himself was never really going to surpass him. What a tragic way of dying. Sakura is still as stupid as ever thinking she could handle things on her own. And I don't think Karin will die or that she got sucked in by that technique Danzou used.

Hunter x Hunter

Fucking shit. I love it when they draw Gon to be serious as fuck. Holy shit, that looks so awesome and intimidating. What an awesome chapter. If Pitou decides to kill Gon after she heals Komugi, it is basically suicide. Pitou will NOT stand a chance against a pissed off Gon.

God's Beard said:
Ah ha! I thought it was just my imagination when your posting speed increased after I passed you up! We'll see who's the pettiest poster soon enough!

I'll join the RB thread when Harmonix decides to update with some music instead of advertDLC and bullshit country packs. So basically, you've got nothing to worry about.
It was sarcasm. I don't really give a shit about post count. :lol

Also, yeah. AdvertDLC has been awful. At least we're getting Rush in Peace and The Who medley soon!

Dedication Through Light said:
Does Ichigo need to go in? Couldnt he just fire off dozes of Getsuga Tenshou's? I guess its feasible but unlikely. The only way I even see Ichigo doing some type of damage is if he went into that second (resurrecion, I guess) form again.
The reason I mentioned that was because the purpose of all the captains attacking was to show Ichigo a weak spot that Aizen may have and if this attack was actually successful, maybe it'll be the right time for Ichigo to go in and strike.

Pandaman said:

I always considered him the evil-wants power dictator. I'm actually kinda shocked. On the other hand, I also still considered Sasuke the "good" guy (Karin is still alive, he would have never killed his true love on purpose).

Delusional fool.

Hunter X Hunter

Started reading this a couple days back, it actually really good !, I like the art style, the story and characters are top notch too, Im still in Greed Island and im really liking it. This is one of the few mangas where all the training arcs are great.

:lol at Karin being his true love.
 
Everyone knows that deep down Naruto is still Sasuke's true love. Are you going to admit their first kiss wasn't something special?

Man, if that had some pro-Aizen text on it I would use it. I've gone like 2 years here without an avatar. :lol

Danzo is pretty much a power hungry fool. He was willing to manipulate and kill people for his own selfish reasons.

Sasuke on the other hand, is more of a tragic hero (see: Tragic Hero wiki).

That's an awful Photoshop man. Besides, the S for Sosuke was just fine.

its a frog. maybe he was hungry.

stole Tsunade's job and plucked the eyeball out of a drowned corpse and stuck it in his own eye socket.
both for the good of the ninja world, he wouldn't have done it if Tsunade was competent and that uchiha, i mean wtf did he expect when he went and died like a bitch.

Danzou didnt do all the things he's done for selfish reasons at all, it was all for the sake of Konoha, wiping out the Uchiha prevented a civil war, his tactics may be different but he loves the village just as much as naruto even Sai said that( minus the as much as Naruto part )
 
Deadman wonderland.

reading further in... chapter 5 now, finding out about the branch of sin and the deadman... pretty cool so far. :lol
 
ILikeFeet said:
looks like I will have a new series to follow. I think I will skip sites like OneManga and just buy the issues of Deadman Wonderland.

i start getting interested in manga when i read them phisicaly and then continue online... i just cant choose a random one from onemanga and read, its just not the same.

He got murdered by Itachi. Itachi wasn't exactly Choji.

Here's an interesting scenario; now that Danzo is dead, does this mean Sai has the tongue-seal removed?
 
Angry Grimace said:

and? is he supposed to score points because his killer was overqualified? the guy had the power to say 'hey itachi, please dont kill me' ad it would have worked. the fact that he didn't use it probably means itachi curbstomped him.

if kishi is to be consistant, No.
besides, what good would it do? its not like they need any dirt on Danzo anymore.
 
Hunter X Hunter

what the fuck, I just finished Greed Island, Fucking Fantastic by the way, but what the hell happened to the art around the end of Green Island and currently where I am right now ( chapter 180 ) it's just fucking sketches, does he have any assistants or does his wife help him out ( Mangaka of Sailor moon )?

Doubt that genjutsu would have worked against another Sharingan user, nonetheless Itachi.

Calling it now: Sai shows the rest of the gang Danzou's secret stash of sharingans! Sharingans for everybody!

Creator was sick in that time period.
 
Pimpwerx said:
Naruto: Kishi did a good job of building Danzou into the noble, but extreme ninja from the old era. I just wish he was developed earlier. Sakura is more boring than Sasuke. I'd rather have Madara storytime hour over anything even remotely Sakura-related. Seriously, she's irrelevant, except as bait for Naruto or Sasuke. Bring back Naruto already.


I have to agree with this. If only they had told Danzou's little touching back-story earlier (maybe in bits and pieces), like right before the ninja council meeting? I know there was an intent to make him into such a secretive weasel only to show that deep down he was human...

but...

when you kill a character, and moments before his death, you give a sad sob story as to why he did what he did... it's pretty hard to swallow, and makes pacing feel forced. I mean, it's so cliche, but then again this is shonen :lol

Anywho... I'm not looking forward to next weeks boring chapter. Sai "my new teammates totally hates meh now were buddies and i just stand around and talk" VS "I'm more of a burden and a liability than a teammate" Sakura.

Yay... I wonder if it'll be like watching a Slowpoke fighting a Snorlax... or a mop fighting a swifter? pass

This is the worst, and one of the most horrible things Kishi has done in Part 2. Almost all of the characters he built up (especially the villains), he only gives their motivations and back-story (if we're lucky) at the very very end in a flashback. It's pretty much his plot device for saying "I had no fucking clue what I was writing and where I wanted to take this character". :rolleyes

Must've taken lessons from Kubo.

I think only the first one was illness. I'm unaware of Togashi having some kind of persistent illness.
