Also on the subject of not terrible things Fallen Angels is scanlating Jigokuraku, which is a newish series that has earned a lot of critical praise from other mangaka including Horikoshi Kohei. http://fascans.com/series-en/jigokuraku-en/ Pretty simple base premise: The shogunate discovers a bizarre verdant island where the presumed elixir of life is, but no one they send comes back (in one piece anyway). So they send a big cadre of freakish criminals with high-ranking executioners as their "escorts" to secure it with the promise of freedom to whichever criminal returns with the elixir. poo poo very quickly hits the fan as can be expected.

And what's to stop the criminals from using the immortality elixir on themselves? I suppose they have an escort, but the criminals could claim the need to test the elixir.

a few characters even acknowledge that even though the island is really dang strange, there's no particular reason to assume that the immortality elixir is there. still, no one has provided a straight answer for what happens if they come back empty handed.

So Fire Punch ended, about as strangely as I expected it to given the way it went. I dunno if I would call it a happy or sad ending, the last few chapters were a crazy whirlwind.

I think I may be done with Tokyo Ghoul. About half way through the second volume and this manga is just so...boring. It's basically a Japanese take on the American vampire genre but they eat people rather than suck blood.

Jigokuraku is just kinda shrugworthy for me, but then again I think the same of My Hero Academia so  hits a lot of the character designs/notes/fanservice/cliches/blahhblahblaahblaaaaaaah you find in a lot of anime/manga.meanwhile To You Immortal had a great new chapter where the MC spends time as a crab to get some perspective on humanity. Let's see like, Luffy or Naruto spend time as a sea cucumber or some poo poo. ditto on finding Tokyo Ghoul boring, the thread convinced me to give it another run through and see if I could get to RE but I'm bogged down around the Killer Twins and not super interested in pushing through lotta the characters either come off as boring or tryhard and for the most part I barely have any interest in the ghouls let alone the investigators. It was kinda similar with Immortal Hounds back when i could actually tolerate reading it, where I could barely come up with interest for the Old Guy or Young Dude (the one that sleeps with a coworker or w/e) Investigators. I feel like the Tokyo Ghoul guy and Kubo Tite could get along and do some fashion shows. Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Feb 20, 2018 |

Tokyo Ghoul's greatest feat of world-building is making a universe where the MC can't find any fictional stories in existence more compelling than the story he's experiencing in Tokyo Ghoul.

Top-tier lampshading. I wanna read that dragon/magicians manga. I'm still waiting for more Witch Hat Atelier translations. The French get an official translation/release, I'm jealous. Gotta learn that darn language.

I assume we don't have a thread for it, To You The Immortal is still great. Can't wait until it, The Promised Neverland, and Kimetsu no Yaiba get animes...even though I don't really watch anime. No time or attention span for that poo poo when I can just finish a chapter in like 3 minutes. Pair that with the recent cool Houseki no Kuni adaptation (which I still haven't watched tho...) and the upcoming Golden Kamui one and that's some good poo poo out there. Anyway I've been enjoying the timeskip and new chapters of Immortal, Fushi's face on finding out Hayase is dead was great. I love how human he's become

I'm looking forward to the Golden Kamui anime. I find the art a little hard to follow but the story seems really good, so the anime will be a nice way to get that.

Yea seriously, people are acting like Eren going to war with a nation that actively calls for the genocide of his entire nation after keeping them in a walled off nightmare ghetto for a hundred years is some kind of edgy morally ambiguous plotline and I really don't get it.

I haven't really read Attack of Titan that far past where the first anime season ended. Is it worth still reading?

Zerilan posted:I haven't really read Attack of Titan that far past where the first anime season ended. Is it worth still reading? That said, if you've only seen to the end of the first anime season, either read the manga starting from chapter 30(around the end of the first season but there's differences between them), or watch the second season and then start off on chapter 51. A disappointing number of people have wrote off Attack on Titan as "fascist apologia" and haven't actually read it. It is absolutely not glamorizing fascism in any way and this becomes increasingly clear as the series goes on. Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Feb 22, 2018 |

I think Attack on Titan is fine and ultimately not worth the massive attention it seems to get from both sides, positive and negative. I consider it a decent fairly dark war shounen story that I am into enough that I'll read it to the end but also would not be terribly upset if it suddenly got dropped from CR altogether.

Jigokuraku plus the HxH Dark Continent stuff is what made me go see the movie in the first place. it's more about the creepy atmosphere but there were a handful of weird creatures in it.
