Holy shit that latest Boruto arc was some of the worst god damned writing I have ever seen.
Spill. Did they go through with the Boruto gaiden thing Kishi wrote? God, that would have been magnificent.
That shit was some master troll work, he should have gone through with it. It would have been transcendent.
also we need our true hero back
lu lu lala lu~
Wait, so they
made her Karen's kid
I LOVE IT!!
they make some really really stupid character choices from time to time.
especially with the backstory of a certain character in season 1 (character spoiler)
SCREW YOU JAUNE YOU MAKE Minoru making it into the hero academy almost feel like it makes sense compared to your ignorance on how things work period and getting in by cheating into a school that sends you into a scenario that could easily kill a novice your backstory is so stupid and you should feel ashamed for how they used you so poorly as a tool to introduce people to the world. YOUR EXISTENCE IN THE FIRST SEASON MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!!!
outside of that it's pretty decent to even good at times with some silly choices here and there instead of really stupid ones.
there is another part of another season that bothered me, but I can't honestly remember if it was in 3 or 4 lol.
Oh, no, I would've reacted way harder if they did that.
I mean they actually adapted Gaiden. Which is still some shit.
Yea, I just went and looked. I got all hype for seemingly no reason.
God, that development would have made all of Naruto's shitty storytelling worth it.

While that would've been fun for the trolling and lulz if they weren't going to make more, it would've force us to have Karin around in the long term and i don't think that's worth it.
Shit will never stop being funny.
Damn, I remember reading that shit as it came out and all of MangaGAF was rolling with each new chapter.

Funimation's new PS4 app works well.
This makes me happy.
Uraraka and Bakugo.
Makes about as much sense as Hinata and Sasuke, another ship that gained some popularity despite the characters maybe saying 3 sentences to each other.

I mean Bakugo obviously is going to end up with Todoroki
only one that could handle that explosive personality and they can bond over how deku made them better people
Yeah, that's one of the dumber ships.
I've already said this multiple times, but I still can't believe it happened.
I'd totally ignored Naruto after it ended, but when I heard the word on the street, I had to read it.

Actually Hinata and Sasuke never exchange dialog in the manga, and once in a movie where Hinata just says his name

Only thing I liked about the Gaiden was Naruto's pep talk to
Sarada
I kind of get the logic there at least. Uraraka being the character that female fanfic writers project themselves onto and they just pair her with whichever male character they like the most. That's basically what most online shipping boils down to.
Naruto and Sarada themselves were pretty okay in Gaiden.
His reaction to the whole Maury shit made it even more surreal.

I'll admit on the topic of shipping though, whenever I watch an anime, I have a bad habit of rooting for the character who's clearly going to be friend-zoned. I sympathize for the underdog. lol
Hm, neat.
...man, go figure Boruto would get a higher budget than Shippuden ever did.
I really like romance in stories. Unfortunately, most series don't have romance, they have melodrama.
So I usually root for whatever pairing I know is actually canon, provided it's not written too stupid.
Oh, definitely, but the series itself played up the will-they-won't-they aspect.
So.
i can understand that, but when you have
a ninja in the middle of the war when sasuke was still a traitor ask sakura about who she loves and it's sasuke not naruto she thinks of you should just admit it,
I like a good romance, but there hasn't been many romance focused shows that I've liked. Especially when you know they won't hook up until the end, and the way they always drag that out is from drama that could be easily solved by JUST FUCKING TALKING. I don't understand why hooking up seems to be the end goal in 99% of romance anime when the developing relationship after the fact can be even more interesting.
That's probably why I enjoyed Ore Monogatari. The two leads hook up in the first two episodes and the rest of the season is just about them as a couple.

There's a bunch of manga about dating romance, which is pretty nice. Not very much anime, though, aside from Ore Monogatari.
And most of them are pretty recent (and quite a few started as webcomics), so I suspect they're made by authors just as tired of melodrama as we are, heh. Hopefully that's a trend.

remember the greatest shonen romance toonami has ever seen?
until I got to your last sentence I was going to tell you to go watch that lol.
and as for why the end goal is hooking up. it's because it's easier to sustain a will they won't they setting that people are invested in than an actual romance. not saying an actual romance can't be more interesting just that it is harder to write.
Rec is a fun little watch https://myanimelist.net/anime/710/Rec not amazing but it's also pretty short
Nana has characters hook up before the end and deal with relationships
https://myanimelist.net/anime/877/Nana
Clannad after story is of course about the relationship after the first season was about the hook up... eventually.
Sakamichi no Apollon isn't really a romance, but it is a bromance and has a strong focus on relationships (and is from the director of bebop with a strong soundtrack)
Baby Steps is a sports anime, but there is a romance secondary story like most sports anime. the second season is when the magic happens
Marmalade Boy https://myanimelist.net/anime/334/Marmalade_Boy is one I am pretty sure hits the relationship well before the end, but it's a bit fuzzy right now
Oh! Edo Rocket https://myanimelist.net/anime/2152/Oh_Edo_Rocket doesn't really have the romance plot come together that much before the end but... more people should watch it lol
I would argue soul eater is decently about relationships
kare kano they get to the relationship before the end right.... i mean they have to given the end lol...
Midori no Hibi this is all about having your right hand effectively be your girlfriend :3
I know there are a few others I am missing lol
*looks at it*
not it

They actually ended up doing the deed in the manga.
On a serious note, for all the faults for that series, I actually given it props for actually having Tatsumi enter a relationship with someone he's actually attracted to. A lot of these shonen (Naruto, Bleach, MHA) kind of take for granted the idea that the pairings are already decided so they do the bare minimum since they'll just be couples in the epilogue anyway. Of course, the AKG anime went with immediately killing off Mine not long afterwards lol
Baby Steps is special since it's a shounen sports manga, where
. Definitely going to read it, have heard a lot of good things about it.
Don't bother with the anime, though, it's by Pierrot, and a rough adaptation by all accounts.
the main guy and girl actually start dating

It's nicknamed "A Town Where You Rage" for a reason!*looks at it*
not it
rough animation but the actual episodes aren't bad if you can get past that.
as for the manga just fair warning the english releases are sporadic.
once you get caught up you might have to wait a while. though the translation group is doing better recently.
there was a period where a tennis match was like 30-40 chapters (weekly length) and it took about 2.5 years for those chapters to fully come out >.<;
It's a solid manga though, especially if you prefer your sports series more like ippo than say ace of diamond. With more of a thought on training and the process behind why things work in the matches and more detailed thoughts on what people are doing.
Those two are fun.
I'm (slowly) catching up to Horimiya right now. It's pretty good.
Ore Monogatari was great in that it was simply just a series about two people who REALLY liked each other & almost nothing complex happened or things were cleared up in an episode or two.
My Little Monster also was good since I recall the two leads were basically blunt with each other (the girl was basically the "I just say what I feel like" type).
Meanwhile, I finished Kimi ni Todoke & man, while I get why the lead had trouble with communication, it gets rather annoying in the 2nd season because it feels like a step back from how she went to a loner to someone who could get alone with the entire class. Especially when one character was introduced solely for the purpose of more misunderstandings, & even the side characters were annoyed by him.
I'll try to talk more once I finish things up.
I don't read a ton of manga most of which are things i picked up after watching the anime. I branch out from time to time and pick up stuff like the promised Neverland but in general i prefer anime as it allows me to multitask easier.
lol i'm going to get the most posts again aren't i
fuck
fuck
Ore Monogatari was a bit too saccharine for me to immediately get into at the time, but I liked it enough, so I'll try it again eventually when I'm in the mood to appreciate it. My Little Monster sounds neat, still there on my to-read list.
Check them out, then. They seem up your alley.
where's the seda in a box gif when you need it?
Maybe he should cut out the middleman and write an anime.
But that probably pays a lot less.
Speaking of, my library back at home has the first volumes of Jojo arcs 1,2, and 3. O don't think they know there's other volumes (but their quality is incredibly nice).
Is it any weirder than other popular manga
He's a bit stubborn about it, yeah. His health's seems to be getting better, at least.
They probably do, but Viz hasn't translated anything beyond Part 3 yet. They're currently in the middle of rereleasing the Part 3 Jojoniums with a retranslation and without the old version's censoring.
I mean they literally stop after volume 1 of each arc. There's Phantom Blood volume 1, then Battle Tendency volume 1. Whoever orders the stuff was probably confused. Granted they probably wouldn't have space for all volumes of PB+BT, and I admittedly didn't check the county system to see if they had the other volumes, but they didn't have Berserk in the system anyehere so an error like that wouldn't surprise me.
