Will never understand why people get upset when 'Guy with clear focus and attention throughout the story' beats 'dude that just showed up'.

Nobody likes a fight that can be summarized as 'wasted potential' much less in a story where the main driving force is the fights.

If Hanzo manages to pull out a fat W by taking Kojiro for a ride on the ruse cruise I'll be surprised. Things are looking up here but I'm not getting too excited just yet.

Looks like a clean win from Hanzo but I guess it could be changed to a glancing blow next chapter.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

I'd be shocked if Kojiro's obsession with Musashi doesn't go anywhere, but Hanzo is way cooler than Kojiro so I'm all for that outcome. Maybe in his final moments Kojiro will just realize that it's because Musashi looks like Kuro and he's always cared about Kuro deep down despite everything, yadda yadda.

there's a new chapter of My Wife Has No Emotion

it seems they're getting back on track for the series after COMPLETELY derailing from the premise to follow literal space aliens that are an upside-down humanoid head with tentacles??????? but now we're back to robots like it should be

loving love this series, one of the best depictions imo of a setting where we're right on the cusp of full blown androids with rights, but not quite. the recent chapters have been a bit all over the place, but I feel like this one's getting back on track. like how you've got this psycho setting up a mass terrorist bombing using robots to prove that robots are bad, conveniently avoiding that humans have done the exact same things, and this attack itself is the work of him, a human, and not the robots he has taken control of

Record of Ragnarok Chapter 80. Apollo is an idiot!

This chapter dredged up my issue that there were no American historical figures in the roster. This would have 100% been a great time to bring out Muhammad Ali and have a fakeout opening where it seems Apollo is just going to range out Ali who is able to avoid ranged attacks with his impressive footwork; only for the crowd to call him out and he decides to make a ring for some good old fashion boxing.

It's pretty fun in just how absolutely committed it's to take its ridiculousness seriously while also being tongue-in-cheek about it.

I saw that it's been mentioned before in the thread: To you the immortal / To your eternity.
How on earth did the series throw itself off a cliff as hard as it did? I've been reading it recently, enjoyed the siege... and now I really dislike the series.

So it timeskips up to modern Japan? Fine, I guess, curious to see what it'll do there.
Oh, it focuses on mostly highschoolers, alright.
Ah, they have to go to the high school now too, of course.
Wait why is there so much screen time dedicated to some creepy loving step-brother and sister pedophilia poo poo? Why is that the loving focus of 'people noticing that people around them are changing.'?

How did the series take such a loving sharp turn and decline? Does it course correct at all?
Over the course of a couple chapters it burned through any goodwill I had, and is incredibly goddamn slow at setting up what's going to happen onwards.
Feels very 'Author intended to end series, is now continuing it out of spite.'.

Glad you wrote this tbh. I didn't really like the siege arc and kinda stopped reading then waiting to get back to it after things moved on. To know this is how it moved on... well ok, it was fun for a bit, prob never going back to reading that one.

new Heavenly Delusion, a very exposition-heavy one. Lots of answers(or at least concrete confirmations of a lot of things).Seems like they're stepping onto the path towards the final arc.

I still think the potential exposition fountain doctor suicide bombing the man-eater basically right after Maru and Kiruko find him was dumb as hell, but ok whatever we still got some explanations from the lady doctor and also picked up a robot(not a robot!!) buddy!
