In the entirety of the manga (as much as I read anyway) Sakura had like one good fight and she wasn't even in control of her body for most of it

Let's not forget the original series ends with Sakura having Sasuke's child and then he turns into a deadbeat dad.

Those 10 weeks of Sarada Gaiden were magical to follow, just watching an entire shipping apparatus in a fandom completely melt down. gimme the GOD drat candy posted:then salad somehow turned out well despite being raised by a crazy woman prone to fits of destructive rage. salad gaiden was the best thing kishimoto ever wrote. That's actually extremely normal, and happens regularly. Kids who have to grow up too soon to help parents who can't always be around. And have to like help with things that parents usually do for their kids.

Last Celebration posted:Honestly Sakura deserved more in general, she’s pretty good as a gutsy rude girl but the Sasuke romance drags her down in a pretty big way. Idk why authors have so much trouble writing female characters, just do what One Piece does and have Nami/Robin mostly interchangeable characters if they were boys. As an early Nico Robin fan, nobody should do to her what Oda has done. She got a lot of play in Alabasta, Water 7, and even Skypeia. But drops off the face of the plot the rest of the series only to have some relevancy this arc because the fuzz are back on her tail. She's a cool character but Oda can't do anything with her without blowing the lid on this massive conspiracy he's been sitting on because that's the role of Robin's character at this point. Plus I just think he couldn't find a way to have her fight average opponents without no-selling them given her ability.

Robin is my favorite Straw Hat and I don't really get that criticism, I understand people want her to get more fights but I don't really consider One Piece to be a fightmanga anymore so whatever.

Anyway, she got a fight like ten chapters ago and it ruled so whatever. I guess my stance is that while her powers are cool they're not the reason I like the character and she's plenty important to the story already so I'm not bothered.

Darth TNT posted:Like father like son, Boruto the manga is also doing a great job at treating its women and girls. Yikes, that's unfortunate. I don't like Boruto overall, but the movie was pretty solid, and did the "overworked former protagonist neglecting his son" plot way better than Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which came out around the same time

Boruto the manga is a pretty rough piece of work even at its best. Boruto the anime, however, rules.

I might have to check it out then, because the manga is drawn in a pretty soulless way. I can see some of the fights being good when animated though.

The anime expands on the story, gives the characters more stuff to do (in addition to making most of the female cast actually useful), the anime exclusive arcs are fun, they did a better version of the movie than the movie itself did, and most importantly it sticks to Kishimoto’s artstyle as opposed to the guy that does the manga. Granted, the series is 225 episodes long and running but I still definitely recommend checking it out.

All of the anime-original content really serves to fill in a lot of blanks with characterization too. At this point I pretty much consider the manga to be a very rough draft that the anime polishes. Emotional moments that fall flat in the manga are much more effective in the anime because of all of the additional connective tissue at play.

Ayashimon’s second chapter still good. Loving the chaos energy from it. Protect Me, Shugomaru is meh. I’m not a huge fan of the gag art-style and it just feels like a premise that will get old fast. I expect this one to be chucked after 16-17 chapters.

Yeah, this week's Witch Watch was a little weird in how much it was just the same as last week's. I think Protect Me is going to live or die on the next chapter because it needs to introduce some more characters to bounce these two off of because just the two main characters isn't going to be enough to carry a series.

So the Boruto anime does a Demon Slayer with the anime and manga? Probably better examples but that's the only one that comes to mind right now.

I’ve never watched/read Demon Slayer (is it any good?) but the Boruto anime definitely covers more ground than the manga does at least At least some of the anime material is actually canon to said manga as well (for example, a previously anime exclusive character pops up at one point around the middle).

Demon Slayer is a pretty standard adaptation, not at all like what the Boruto anime does. it's starts with like 30 episodes of wholly original content that takes place before the manga started, as well as episodes adapting light novel side stories, the TV arc that adapts a movie (like DB Super did) etc. and even after that it dips into anime original arcs regularly similar to how Naruto did. i can't speak to quality of the anime original stuff in the last couple years, but that first year of Boruto with largely original content was great and has an entirely different charm to it than what little of the manga i read. i don't think the movie arc is unequivocally better since the TV version looks mostly lovely and pads out the exam parts, but it does have much better context on the emotional roots and stakes of the conflict while keeping an amazing climax.

Is Demon Slayer itself any good? Also would it be better to watch the anime, read the manga or do both?

Demon Slayer has ufotable putting in their full effort, so, compared to manga, a lot of its strong points are enhanced (and a lot of its flaws are far less noticeable) due to the gorgeous animation. EDIT: Demon Slayer is pretty good. It has strong character writing and a great chemistry between them that makes the desired emotional notes land pretty consistently and really nifty and cool power system. It has also a pretty weak main plot, a lot of pacing issues and it's fights often suffer from full range of shonen tropes that makes them a lot less interesting than it's power system would imply. Anime is a lot stronger than manga IMHO, due to ufotable. Lt. Lizard fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Nov 21, 2021 |

It has the feel off something that's been copied from real faces; everything is very on model at all times with no exaggeration to the expressions, which works for something very serious and detailed, but not for teenage ninja hijinks.
