Wait, did Robot X Laserbeam really end out of nowhere, or was it just announced to be ending? Considering where it ended last chapter I guess I could see how they could end it in the next chapter but drat, that's harsh. I enjoyed reading it well enough but I definitely don't see how he intended to keep it going nearly as long as other sports manga. Without going completely over the top with it, as in like full on super powers not just super concentration or hitting styles, 18 holes of 1 v 1 hitting balls at holes can only be so dynamic in print media. I will always remember the DON TRAPS though.

I'll always remember the entire cast of characters who got vanished out of the story because they just skipped right through high school probably because an editor said so

Yeah like the sumo manga it seemed like they skipped to the last arc in an effort to revitalize things, but then it got canceled during the second actual golf game after that, ouch. I hope Hinomaru doesn't get canceled, it's pretty rad.

The biggest crime is naming it Robot X Laserbeam and making it about golf.

Even for a sport series, Robot X Laserbeam was dreadfully boring for me. The new jump start featuring a time traveling battle secretary and future president seems much more appealing. So I hope that one can take the open slot.

Hinomaru has an anime coming out and seems to have someone pulling for it (its survival despite its pretty mediocre volume sales and middling at best position in the magazine for the last couple of years is odd) so it'll get through it's current big arc probably. Hinomaru feels like it's basically sponsored by the sumo industry because it spends a lot of time explaining the minutia of how it all works and adheres strictly to the rules to the point everyone is wearing a topknot and you can't recognise half the cast anymore. It's neat though.

Hinomaru has been pumping out the chapters lately and I get the feeling the author wanted a reason for it not to run a million chapters rather than early cancellation

Manatee Cannon posted:those are all true about fairy tail and also rave master was better. this first chapter of the new series seems like more fairy tail to me, but the premise is kinda cool and I never disliked fairy tail enough to actually drop it so I'll prob check in on this occasionally too eventually rave master devolved into endless power level hell. the new villain has their opponent's power +1, and it's a completely one-sided beatdown until the good guy gets their opponent's power +1. the same exact poo poo, over and over for a few hundred chapters. rave master is godawful.

FT greatest moment was the moment in the final arc where Mashima had a character whose magic only affected people who had sex just so we could finally see who was a virgin in that series. All series need something like that tbh.

During Phantom Lord, which is right when I started reading, there's that bit where Mistgun shows up at the old lady's house, she asks where the hell he was during the whole war thing, and he shows off the flags of all of Phantom Lord's sub-guilds, which he destroyed.

Tbf Edolas was kind of a cool arc, it just was almost totally inconsequential. Gajeel got a giant punchcat out of it I guess

I wouldn't call FT good, I sure didn't finish it for one, but I'd be lying if I didn't say there were parts I remember fondly. Like Erza.

speaking about hinomaru zumou, it seems like we're getting pretty close to the end and it just got an anime announcement. maybe the editors forced the time skip to speed things up but I don't think it's gonna get canceled gimme the GOD drat candy posted:rave master is godawful. I was comparing it to fairy tail, not one piece or w/e. it is absolutely better than fairy tail

lol sexhaving is forbidden the really funny part of that scene was how you were supposed to think the death orgasm guy was using it on his mother. her kid turned out to be some other guy instead, but it was still hilarious.

Nalin posted:It really happened. Chapter 508.  You know, one of the things I noticed before I dropped the series. And even afterwards based on images and comments floating around was just how hard Mashima leaned into fan service and related stuff with Fairy Tail. But I don't even know how to describe this, just feels outright stupid as a plot device in a series about wizards punching each other.
