Well after the 8 month arc that existed solely for the purpose "lol anime" and did not advance the story in any significant way, I have to say I am feeling a bit tired of it

As long as we're not trapped in a castle where the story doesn't advance at all for two years I'll call it a victory.

Comic is good again.

This should've been split into two chapters though, single sequence be damned.

Mmh, yes, all the pacing issues you people are whining about would have been solved by putting in a chapter title page at some point.

Um. I think that's a little much.

Pacing issues aside, it isn't doing what SFP did.

This is my favorite 'bloated cancerous mass' quality webcomic.

im permabanned webcomic paranatural58. i first started reading anime when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "shonen" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "hitball" and "i love pacing that rivals continental doriftu" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing good pacing in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on American comic books. i always wondered what the kind of "anime" style of manga humor was all about; i think it's the kawaii leaking in to the kowai, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of exasperating stories and bad webcomics syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" anime to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to lovely pacing. peace.

The pacing post-hitball has been fine (and even that's fine if you read through it in one go). Stop being weirdo losers and just enjoy the funny webcomic.

If you want more examples of it, here's a list of forty-four different anime that each individually provide their own unique interpretations of such a fundamental storytelling element, which proves their artistic merit, and by extension, my worth as a human being.

The dude that had to tell everyone the only reason he keeps reading this poo poo is out of irony first amongst them.

I just made peace with the fact Zach is writing an archival read very, very slowly. There's some good gags in most pages, so it's still readable update to update. Also I went back and re-read Hitball and Hitball is powerful.

I mean, it's always the same discussion over and over tho, you can't blame people for being tired of it. I dunno, maybe it's a pacing issue with these criticisms. Have we tried spacing them out more?
