HenryEx posted:I rarely comment despite reading here a lot, but let me just say this: Completely agree. I started L&BH several times based on all the glowing praise it gets and lost interest several times around 20-30 issues in before forcing myself to finish it and only thinking it was alright in the end. Still reading Sengoku Youko as it comes out but catching up on the backlog initially was a bit of a slog.

Hooray, I love sword spam. It's my favorite shounen power/fighting style/gimmick. Sengoku Youko has definitely gotten much better since the second part started after what's-his-face turned into ultra fox and disappeared. Senya is a much more compelling protagonist, in my opinion. My problem with L&BH is that I love the world and ideas but everything feels so listless. Like, it's so low-key and subdued that nothing feels threatening or dangerous. The story and characters are great but... I just don't care. Does that make sense? The execution is kind of boring. I understand this is probably not a very common opinion and I wouldn't bash the series or tell people to stay away from it. It just didn't do it for me, personally.
