Since the OP hasn't been updated in ages, can anyone maybe give me an idea of what the good new currently ongoing shounen are these days? I'm familiar with stuff like One Punch Man and Toriko. I mean stuff like World Trigger which id somehow never heard of. I got into Magi a while back and fell out of it at some random point. I just sped through all of World Trigger, good fun, like people mentioned the strengths are great battles subverting (and sometimes directly throwing shade at) shounen expectations but drat are there too many random generic characters for me to keep track of...I think I've finally got like 90% of them straight but every other chapter or so I had to remind myself with a Google search who this random Border guy was and what he did. Makes me wish you could combine Bleach's stylishness with World Trigger's brains. I like it though, it's "smart" battle shounen for the most part And yeah I'm onboard Helck, though I miss the early chapters and now that it's kind of just a generic fantasy story I'm not as helck crazy Oh and I tried reading some Big Order for some reason, Jesus Christ I don't think I've ever read a manga that derailed so quickly into a disjointed garbage mess, had to drop that poo poo pretty fast. Which is too bad, I remember Mirai Nikki sucking but I don't remember it sucking as quickly as Big Order just blowing up on the launch pad basically. Is it actually a popular series? How'd it even get an anime? It's like schizophrenia.

My Hero Academia is the latest hot poo poo I'd say. Magi has also gotten fairly good again with its latest arc, if you feel like diving in again though if you didn't get through the long flashback arc I'd forgive you if you don't feel it's worth the trouble.

It's not very original, but what it does it does fairly well, with usually clear art and with pretty good pacing.

at first the whole sin motif was complete bullshit, as were the crimes they were charged with. but now it looks like those really are each of their fatal flaws.

Meh, I still think it's of little consequence to the story. It seems to exisst mostly to make it look deeper and more mysterious than it really is.

Yeah I forgot to mention I was already reading My Hero Academia. I'm not sure where I fell off with Magi, I think I got pretty deep and then just got bogged down and it wasn't as good, I guess maybe now is a good time for a rerun/catchup. Thanks for the Black Clover and Nanatsu no Taizai tips, I'll check 'em out.

They just made a mistake. But yes, it never pretended to be deep the moment the story began. Probably one of the reasons I like it. It's just a fun simple romp.

They just made a mistake. for some of them the connection to their supposed sin is rather tenuous, but their innate character flaws remain completely unchanged. my point was that their initial mistake was in most cases incredibly trivial and did not warrant a lifetime of servitude, but they are still very dangerous people who do terrible things on their own. or i guess in king's case, allow terrible things to happen through inaction.

I've been teetering on MHA lately. It hasn't gone downhill so much as the author has somehow found a way to stay mired in the same old plot points while simultaneously rushing everything. I still like the fights and the characters, but we seriously need to slow down a bit and actually get somewhere.

Yeah, I dunno why railgun always gets so much better stories than index. I guess leaning heavily on the "super science completely divorced from morality" is just plain better than "there are a bunch of secret wizards".

Academy City is an interesting setting that Index makes very little use of, and in fact seems to go out its way to avoid.

I just wanted to mention that I got to the part in Magi where Aladdin is in that magician city, and the comments on some of these chapters (the ones that discuss the system with non-magicians being oppressed and having their magoi siphoned from them) are absolutely terrifying. Like, there are a bunch of people who unironically are agreeing with these arguments that are obviously intended to resemble stereotypical racist propaganda.

Couple new chapters of Hatsukoi Zombie. A bit of a cliche ending to the banquet thing, but the latest chapter brings up the disappearing Eve thing that I thought it would eventually. I have this feeling that eventually, when Tarou completes his first love, Eve the spirit will eventually be born as his and Ibusuki's child in the future.

DrSunshine posted:One important life lesson / basic rule of the Internet: Never, ever read the comments. In this case it's not so much just terrible people being on the internet. I'm used to there being racists and what have you. The disturbing thing in this case is that there were a bunch of comments that were like "hm, the magician chancellor has a pretty good point, never thought of it that way" in response to his lecture on how non-magicians are literal animals. It's one thing to know that bigots exist, but it's another entirely to actively see people being persuaded by the same sort of arguments made by literal Nazis. Captain Invictus posted:You act like that hasn't been a thing in anime. I know that you're correct about something similar to that having been done before (though I don't think it's been done more than a couple times), but the idea is still so loving bizarre that I started laughing out loud after reading it, reacting like the dude in the images posted, and then seeing those images.

It's more the "spirit/god/whatever wishes to be human and so gets reincarnated as a human baby" that I meant, especially because theyre making it a significant and repeated point that she has a soul now unlike the other first love zombies, and as a major character in a pretty lighthearted series I'd be surprised if they just axed her in the end like any other FLZ. Since this is a supernatural romance series, I went with the idea it will be by her being reborn into the world as a newborn human.

Did D GrayMan ever get better? It started out pretty cool, but then the big fight against the Noah where everyone barely survived happened and it revealed that "haha but actually the villains you couldn't defeat and barely survived weren't even their final forms" and also the art became a mess and I didn't understand what was happening. I think it went on hiatus after that or something and came back with a different art style? Is it worth picking up again?

Captain Invictus posted:Flaps, stop being such an antagonistic piece of poo poo just because someone made speculation you don't agree with. It's not an entirely unreasonable idea and has definitely been used in other series including good ones like spirit circle, even if it's not their kid, but her being reincarnated as an actual human in the end is totally possible and honestly I kind of expect it so that it's a happy ending. Everytime somebody posts something disagreeing with you you go rabid and call the poster poo poo or blame a nonexistent cabal of posters organizing against you, you are the most antagonistic poster on these forums.

Also it's more likely that she will just disappear, because part of love is learning to let go.... Things can be happy and sad and bittersweet all at the same time, it doesn't need a weird as hell family where you have to explain to your wife that your daughter is really the reincarnation of the spirit of a psychological manifestation of an idealized version of what you thought your childhood crush would look like at the same age you were as a teenager.
