So apparently there’s a third live action FMA movie coming out soon: https://comicbook.com/anime/amp/news/fullmetal-alchemist-final-transmutation-live-action-first-trailer-watch/ Was the second one that came out a few months ago any good out of curiosity (apparently it was put on Netflix recently and even has a dub)? I remember the first one feeling kind of rushed in my opinion Larryb fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Aug 21, 2022 |

Akane-banashi: Akana-banashi fuckin' rules so hard. I was so prepared to weep when Jugemu died and then Akane pulls out the "actually, Jugemu survived" bit on me, holy poo poo. I love the expression on Karashi's face when he's making heads and tails of the act he just watched, as if he's come to a realization. I love Issho's single sentence to Akane. I like the reporter chick too, she's sorta like a mouthpiece for the author/reader, in that she's telling us what the author wants us to know, but she's also sort of a reader stand-in at the same time. I think her "I love rakugo" statement after Akane's act highlights the difference between Akane and the other 2 main rivals, which was also brought up in the previous chapter - Akane's rakugo focuses on the rakugo act, whereas Karashi and Hikaru's rakugos were more about making themselves more prominent. I think the next few chapters are going to be really big for Akane-banashi, but in-universe and in real life. Akane-banashi's been fantastically strong, but so much of it - her entire motivation for getting into rakugo, her lessons under Shigumi and Kyoji and Koguma, her hard work to improve herself - was being built up for this moment. Akane herself states that she can't move forward until she gets an answer to her question. But what lies forward? Can the manga remain so narratively strong and connected as Akane starts moving towards her uncertain future? It's a bit worrisome, but at the same time, it feels like worrying over it is silly given how good it's been. Elusive Samurai: Enemy of the week is a dumbass who thinks a grown-rear end man fighting a pre-teen is a fair fight and I look forward to him having his ideals crushed before he dies. Mashle: Whatever happened to Mash? Roboco and Me: Went a completely different direction than I thought, I thought it was gonna go full horror but it ends on a slightly sad note with the chick actually being a friendly ghost. Consider me bamboozled. Sakamoto Days: Hell yeah whacky equipment testing!

Huh, Issho is apparently based off a real-life figure accordin' to a thread on Reddit.quote:The quote is very reminiscent of Tatekawa Danshi when he participated as a judge in the M-1 Grand Prix, an annual Manzai competition. The duo Tetsu & Tomi were already top class acts while the event’s contestants are usually up and coming comedians; which resulted in Danshi saying “you don’t belong here.” quote:Danshi made headlines when he expelled all his apprentices at once. Apprentices do get fired once in a while, but firing multiple disciples at once is extremely rare. quote:According to Gendai Business columnist Kenichiro Horii, the character Issho Arakawa in the 2022 rakugo manga series Akane-banashi is modeled after Tatekawa Danshi.

Whoa, Super Smartphone had a lot happening this week. It will be funny if Hunter x Hunter comes back soon and we have two different stories about 11-sided battles of wits in Jump at the same time. It's interesting that all the Superphone owners are in their teens or 20s. To some extent this just reflects the convention that major characters in shonen manga shouldn't be too much older than the target audience unless they're specifically mentor figures, but I suspect there's an in-universe reason for it too.

That first movie was one of the most painful sits of my life and had some of the worst editing and continuity I've ever seen in a professional production. It's worse than a fan film.

Pierson posted:Can you spoil what's wrong with Omega? I liked Kengan a lot but haven't started Omega yet. Long and short is A really bad tournament arc between the Kengan Association and one of the other promotions mentioned called Purgatory. Basically a 13v13 match where Purgatory looks absolutely like a joke despite the opening 50 chapters, which are really good, setting them up as comparable to the powerhouses of the kengan association. There's also a sub-plot with the centipede organization hinted at in the end of Ashura doing their own invasion of the bodysnatchers style infiltration of the world but it goes nowhere and then the organization self destructs under their own ineptitude. Fight choreography also tanks in quality probably because the group all had to work in separate locations during the lockdowns and part of what allowed them to iron things out was being in person to show each other moves and stuff. That being said the first 49 chapters are actually very good and a change of pace from the nonstop tournament arc that defined Ashura. Instead we get a single focal character who undergoes his own kind of rigourous training and growth to become a stronger fighter. If nothing else that's worth reading but keep in mind the quality will tank soon after.

The biggest problem with Omega is that it's on Comikey now and Comikey makes it's real inconvenient to catch up.

I just watched the second live action FMA movie on a whim, that was slightly better paced than the first one and Ling was particularly well cast in my opinion but it still falls into the same trap of trying to cram too much in at once, rewriting parts of the manga in a much less satisfying manner (in my opinion anyway), and the costumes/effects being just a slight step above fanfilm quality (also I don’t care what the reason is, you do not do Armstrong dirty like that). This is a complaint I had with the first one as well but Al sounds way too old here (not sure why they didn’t just try to get Rie Kugimiya back since it was a voice only role anyway)

CodfishCartographer posted:Got some fresh blood coming in Note that this week's Jump had a full 21 chapters (including only 2 one-shots): https://www.reddit.com/r/MangaRanking/comments/wv77ot/weekly_shonen_jump_ranking_38_august_22_2022/ If they stick to their pattern of 21 chapters max per issue and at least 1 one-shot per issue, then 2 new series implies at least 1 cancellation. Well, technically there might not be a cancellation: It's possible the author of Doron Dororon has seen the writing on the wall and is rushing the series to a conclusion without officially being cancelled. Edit: I'm worried for Super Smartphone. Its "cushion" is now limited to Doron Dororon, Earthchild, and Aliens Area, and in addition to the 2 new series, there's the eventual return of Ruri Dragon and Hunter x Hunter to worry about. (Funny how Hunter x Hunter's return has become a real possibility and not just a joke.) Silver2195 fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Aug 24, 2022 |

Apparently Earthchild is getting the axe soon - the third volume is more expensive than normal which means it's got extra pages so they're not waiting to fill out a fourth volume, they're just stuffing all the rest of it in the third one. Or maybe they decided it's such a success they're printing extra pages for shits and giggles who even knows anymore. Doron is indeed ending next issue according to current reports.Silver2195 posted:I'm worried for Super Smartphone.

(Funny how Hunter x Hunter's return has become a real possibility and not just a joke.) Looks like Aliens Area is going to be the bottom of the magazine (which I think is a bit of a shame, it was a super rough start but it's been surprisingly okay lately) so Smartphone shouldn't be right on the chopping block, but then again being in the bottom three in general isn't exactly a path to success. Both are clearly trying to get out of that hole, Alines with moving to a more SoL formula and Smartphone with basically flooring it and ramping up the plot to bring in more excitement, but I'm worried it might be too late. I do wanna see where they both go but I know that WSJ is unlikely to let them ride it out for very long unless their rankings start suddenly improving. I'd bring up Earthchild as a counterpoint but somehow that cursed thing actually ranked higher initially and had more of a buffer.

I still can't believe Earth Child's sheer audacity to blame the terrible fate of Earthchildren on the Earth itself, rather than the super-obvious villainous organization that's been there since day 1.

I'm really excited for the next chapter to finally give us answers on Issho's thought processes. A lot of things have set him up to be this one-dimensional villain, but as Akane's rakugo act just now proves, sometimes the storyteller can still pull the rug out from under you.

That is, assuming Super Smartphone manages to hang in there for that plot development to happen.

Come to think of it, wouldn't being a Superphone use be detrimental to a Youtuber? You'd want more people to be able to see your content, but that can't happen if the Superphone privileges removes you from searches and stuff.

Yeah, i imagine if you build a streaming persona kept separate to your real life identity, the super phone will just make that distinction absolute and makes it actually safer. Now you're still out there and can be heard and found, but no one can trace it back to your address and personal info.
