TriffTshngo posted:I have zero appreciation or fondness for golf but I'm enjoying it mostly because of how absurd all these sports manga cliches feel when applied to as quiet and respectful a sport as golf. If it were 100 chapters deep into serialization or something before I noticed it I probably wouldn't have bothered but since I caught it early it's fun enough to keep up with every week. There's definitely tension to be exploited in the sport too since your placement can hinge entirely on a single stroke made over the course of an entire day.

Blood Lad Hahaha! Don't Stop Me Now is not what I expected, but it is   and completely perfect atmosphere-wise for this manga. Not bad!!

So I just read the first 3 chapters of Dr. Stone. It looks promising, however I can't get too immersed due to how unrealistic it is. So the main characters who break out of their stoned state managed to keep their consciousness for over 3,000 YEARS!? Someone would lose their minds after two days or so. I also found it dumb that they revived a guy to fight lions. What kind of person is strong enough to fight lions? I know you can reply with "it's a loving manga" but this seems to be grounded much more in reality with it's setting than something like Mob Psycho 100.

Dr. Stone is not feigning anything resembling realism except maybe in some scientific and biologic stuff and even then it's exaggerated. If you ever read Eyeshield 21 which is written by the same author, he basically dances around with absurdity with what characters can get away with, Dr. Stone just takes it up x1000 notches in both premise and cast shenanigans.

In Eyeshield 21, there's a character with spiky teeth and pointy elfy/devil ears who has hoards of ammunition that he threatens his teammates with and also rocket launchers and he has a network of people he blackmails all for the sake of high school football

Dr Stone starts with a spontaneous and unexplained worldwide spontaneous petrification and the main character recovers from it due to wanting to confess to his crush real hard. His best friend is a teenage super genius who kept conscious as a rock through the power of counting and discovered a cure to the mysterious stone plague in no time at all. It was never realistic.

What I'm saying is, Eyeshield had a bunch of dumb poo poo that was fun and so does Dr. Stone, it works in both of them, but your complaint about the latter is stupid because you ironically have unrealistic expectations for a manga that isn't going for realism. Like, if the story isn't your thing, that's fine, but making complaints about something that wasn't there to begin with and not willing to use suspension of disbelief is silly.

I mean it isn't suppose to be realistic. It would be like complaining about the lack of realism in Kill La Kill. I goofed up sorry guys.

Writing up a Promised Neverland OP since it probably deserves its own thread at this point. Open to title suggestions. Was probably going to keep it spoiler free until the end, unless it's a better idea to just lay it all out up front? Feels weird to not want to spoil something that happens in the first chapter, but it's a really effective surprise I think.

Nah keep it on the down-low, it's a deepening sense of dread followed by the big reveal and when it hit me I went back over the entire chapter and all the clues were right there. No clue about a title though. Maybe some kind of nursery-rhyme pun?

the big reveal happens in the first chapter. the big reveal is the basic premise of the manga. might as well just make a thread consisting entirely of black bars if you are that worried about it.

Even as early as it is I still think there's merit in preserving the surprise. I'm glad I didn't know about it before checking it out, personally.

There's a short story/comic from the Toriko mangaka about his decades long friendship and rivalry with Oda for the 20th anniversary of One Piece. It's pretty cool so long as you forget the conspicuous absence of the part where his really popular gag manga ended because he got tossed in jail for trying to pick up an underage girl.

it's kind of sad that now at its real climax or whatever, I could not care less about Magi's lore or wtf dumb cosmic poo poo is happening in the story. I guess this is the inevitable path of many shonen

I liked the end of Magi up until it turned out all the debate-fights with shards of Sinbad were completely pointless because David popped up again and suddenly they had to go fight the entire world. It feels like the author was told to extend the series for another year.

It feels like the author was told to extend the series for another year. Yeah, I feel pretty similar. I felt like Sinbad as set up pretty perfectly as the final antagonist, and I was really hoping that, considering the series's preoccupation with politics and diplomacy, the whole situation would be resolved without a big dumb fight. But that may have been expecting too much. Honestly, Magi won back a bit of faith with me in the final arc, if only because the "hierarchy of the gods" thing is so esoteric that I love it. Plus, it spiritually hearkens back to the original Arabian Nights influences on the series, what the whole "nested stories" and whatnot. But it's still a goddamn crime how hard Morgiana's been sidelined. It's like the author forgot she was the tritagonist or something. I'm really hoping she manages to make a comeback now that they're committed to the big dumb battle thing. Magi in general is kind of a frustrating series for me, because I find the characters rather charming, but it just seems so unfocused. I really miss the dungeon crawling; the early arcs both capitalized on the Arabian Nights aesthetic and simultaneously encapsulated a corny DnD campaign in about the most genuine way possible.
