Ytlaya posted:I'm actually kinda surprised it's been around for 27 chapters with such low rankings. Don't things usually get cancelled within like <20 chapters? I guess they might have allowed it to hang around longer due to the reputation of its author or something. I think it's because they already canceled other series like U19 and Poro.

To be fair though U19 was a flaming garbage wreck of a comic that wouldn't look too out of place in Marvel's current lineup.

I've been reading Black Torch and I really like it. It has a sort of "early Bleach" feeling, before that manga went to poo poo, and it tends not to drag plot points for too long (for example, the latest chapter neatly resolves both the "Who sealed Rago in the stone?" and "Who brought him back?" questions at the same time, so that's dealt with and the plot can move on without getting stuck).

That sounds vaguely familiar, maybe i've read that before and forgot about it. Is that the one with Fatboy Slim?

hungry marie is good (definitely better than, say, robot x laserbeam) and that author should probably just find a different magazine if he gets cancelled again. tho if he does get cancelled and has to start over again, I hope he can prove he has more character designs  HenryEx posted:That sounds vaguely familiar, maybe i've read that before and forgot about it.

I don't even understand what that means in this context but the main character is a guy that can talk to animals and he finds a demon cat that gives him super powers. it's kinda like the author is answering the question of what if yoruichi had found ichigo instead of rukia

maybe but I don't remember sailor moon very well. you could probably draw parallels like that to a lot of things; black torch isn't particularly original it feels a lot like early bleach tho. it was one of my first thoughts on reading it. tho instead of joining spirit samurai, the protagonist joins magic ninjas

I tried to get into that but the Bleach flashbacks and how painfully shonen it was just held me back. guess I can't really read shounen anymore unless it's poo poo like hungry marie or dr. stone or magi, which makes sense, I'm not like 11-12 anymore like I was when I started Naruto/Bleach/One Piece.

Guys guys, have any of you been reading Sheriff Evans's Lies. It's a daily life manga, the story of a smalltown sheriff on the frontiers of the Wild West, and his It's goddamn hilarious and makes me laugh uproariously each chapter due to all the stupidity and misunderstandings.

Captain Invictus posted:lol, comparing one piece to garbage like naruto or bleach I loved and still love pre-timeskip One Piece though, I'll never deny that. I just thought the Oda Can Do No Wrong deification always went too far round this crowd. I think he confuses density (both visually and plot-wise) with complexity a lot. I just couldn't handle those cluttered pages anymore. Feels like One Piece used to have more space to breathe. Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Yeah, I've honestly never gotten into One Piece. Great for people who like it, not hating on it, but it's art never worked for me. It just never clicked for me.

fishman island through dressrosa is the weakest stretch in one piece but zou and whole cake island are some of the best it's ever been. you dropped out at the wrong time imo

I don't think OP will ever reach the highs it achieved during Alabasta or Enies Lobby, and oof the post-timeskip arcs were a bit rough, but it's pretty solid at the moment. Wouldn't call it the best shounen at the moment though since that's probably MHA, at least for me. Hell I might even prefer Promised Neverland at this point.

Apparently there's a new Rurouni Kenshin arc coming out. Huh. Well, don't mind if I do. The only thing that annoys me is that it seems we're supposed to know who the new characters are... They've probably been introduced in some spinoff or other that hasn't been translated yet.

Pretty much everything about the new characters was actually repeated in the first chapter. One is a half-Japanese smart guy who was in jail, the other is a strong guy with Shishio's sword who really likes food and was in jail.

Punkin Spunkin posted:definitely feels like it is. There was a period where I stopped enjoying it and got annoyed it was just weird cosmic gibberish with Sinbad, cuz the Dumbledore Hitler/Trading company/exploring dungeons/exploring other countries and forms of government-stuff was always the best anyway, but it actually turned back around somehow with the bizarre hilarity between Sinbad and the Big Bad whose name I forget. i think it'll still go down as a solid shounen series overall especially considering how generic in tone and mediocre a lot of shounen is.

EmmyOk posted:Is Claymore good? it's very good but the ending kinda dragged because it was 20 chapters of increasingly larger fights coming out monthly it's probably much better when you can go straight through it though, the author does pretty well with character designs considering his conceit is "9/10 of the cast is white blonde girls"
