Brought To You By posted:Speaking of nailing villains I think Mash will just hit the student so hard he forgets what he heard. Or he'll bury him again.  CodfishCartographer posted:Roboco owns as always Actually, HB also points out that there are other side effects like being over emotional. It was an amusing chapter that overstayed it's welcome. I do wonder what will happen next though. Seems like Ayakashi may be getting cancelled? I read someone saying it seemed like it was heading into it's final fight so I checked it out. This feels like end game. So I guess 2020 may end okay. A new USA president, Ayakashi triangle canceled. Come one 2020, go out on a high note! Edit: Maguchan - Wow this chapter was sweet.

Ayakashi Triangle is selling like hotcakes. Why would it be in any danger of getting the axe?

The current battle feels pretty climactic I guess, and the gender swap thing being undone when it initially seemed to be a big part of the premise is a pretty significant development. That said, that could be either something that intermittently comes back or is reset to seal Shirogane again, or it was never intended to be permanent from the start.

I can see this going into a few directions. Maybe it's not permanent and we're going into a Ranma direction or something. If it does end soon then I think this was always meant to be a fun short story in the first place.

The best part about this week's Roboco was the HxH reference, what with the referee's attire and one of the announcers being a dog person.

Ragna Crimson got an update, and mercifully a new group has picked it up so we've back to monthly releases. That however  Sometimes you have to accept you're rooting against the antagonists and not for the protagonists. I'm glad the dragon sisters have a healing factor because they have suffered enough. Also GET hosed CRIMSON!

Off the subject, issues with the creator aside is the Rurouni Kenshin sequel manga any good/still going? On a similar note, how are the live action films? Larryb fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Nov 15, 2020 |

I loved One Piece but knowing Oda helped Toriko’s author get back after a pedo charge is a bridge too far. Same thing with Watsuki. gently caress all 3 of them for being or vouching for monsters.

Wait a second. Act-Age's swift cancellation came from the executive decision-making at Shueisha. Shounen Jump looks more like a sex ring propped up and run between Oda and his friends, and that it's executives are too scared to consider anything other than WE NEED MONEY WE DO NOT CARE.

I was pleasantly surprised with how fast the action was with Act-Age. I feel terrible for the artist, but if this was even 10 years ago it could've gotten swept under the rug because Act-Age was taking off and had a TON of stuff in production. An anime was likely in pre-production, there was a stage play, JVC had a big partnership they were going to do with Yonagi as a virtual model for their stuff in real ads, etc.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Oda gets the boot as soon as One Piece is finished.

RatHat posted:Wouldn’t be surprised if Oda gets the boot as soon as One Piece is finished. Yeah, I really doubt that. The only way Oda is getting out of Shonen Jump is if he decides to, or if he is forced to by his failing health. He is too profitable and famous and I fear that the amount of Shonen Jump readers that actually care about him saving and supporting his sex pest friends is pretty small.

Looks like the protagonist going back to being a boy in Ayakashi Triangle is confirmed as just temporary.

InspectorCarbonara posted:Hot take: She's right. It's weird that Yuiga has liked her since the fireworks festival because he remembers her saying something (that he can't fully remember) to him when he was eleven and then decided to become a teacher of the exact same subject so he could get close to her. Well the age gap answer is given as "absolutely most plausible minimum" so it at least avoids a bit of the weirdness inherent in the dynamic.

Jose posted:The Toriko author is definitely creepy but was probably able to come back because of the law he broke With Act-Age’s author getting canned, I can only assume Oda’s word helped a bit in them leaning towards taking him back. I think the guy also got hit for Tax fraud too.

i'm not defending what the toriko guy did cos anyone in their late 20s loving a 16 year old is bad and creepy but the only reason he broke the law in japan is cos he paid for it. seems like the kind of thing that they're far more willing to let slide for good sales vs what the act-age guy did. this is also the case here in the UK

Fabricated posted:Granted the reason is that Japan just simply doesn't consider it much of a crime, but Watsuki got to come back and he got busted just a couple of years ago now. i'd consider him as having more sway compared to Shimabukuro back during his first(?) popular series when he was caught but who knows. when you compare Watsuki with the Act-Age situation it's at least apparent there

Note: gently caress all these dudes this is not meant as a defense just talking about marginal differences. Watsuki is marginally different as far as "justifications" go as he broke a law that was only changed recently relative to his crime. I think the law changed in like 2014 or 2015 about possession of it, and Watsuki was caught in 2017(2018?) with that poo poo. Act-Age's writer literally rode up to some young girl on a bike and molested her on the street on some real creeper sexual assault poo poo.

Old school delinquent drama J Monogatari finished translating, it's quick and the art is real good and the story mostly makes it. Check it out if you want to see pompadoured teens beat the poo poo out of each other
