idk why I'm still reading this robot laserbeam thing because it's not great

now there are golf delinquents harassing a caddy and the protagonist is gonna fight them in golf and the concept of gold delinquents is at least amusing to me

One reason I can't get into sports manga like the Laser Robot one is that the sports themselves are being described by an observer with an outside understanding of the sport. Like they always try to make the entire world appear to revolve around the sport, no matter how minor, and it comes off as strangely phony. It's not even the lack of realism in the sport, it's more the lack of realism in the characters' thoughts regarding the sport that get to me.

One of the few mangas that didn't do that was Baby Steps - that really nailed the feeling of being in a competitive sport and it's on point enough that I wonder if the author didn't have personal experience with it.

well the sport matters to the characters so obviously they're gonna be way into it

Man I'm trying to get into Robot x Laserbeam, but I might be too prejudiced against golf. Not that I don't like golf, just that I'm having so much trouble buying that a dude is calling himself "THE EMPEROR" and trying to appear super creepy. Like, it's just such a chill sport that the big personalities don't seem to fit. I'm like "What about golf attracted this type of person?"

it's not great but the concept of golf hooligans was really funny to me

read through all of black torch recently (there's not a lot) and it's pretty good. it's kinda like early bleach if yoruichi had found ichigo instead of rukia

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 :v:

HenryEx posted:

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

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

Manatee Cannon
Aug 26, 2010



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

the firefighter thing barely felt coherent, let alone good from what I read of it

the name is also pretty stupid. it's like fire brigade of flame or something?

idk where you heard that the final arc was less bad but it's par for the course with fairy tail

that's too bad. it wasn't as good as beelzebub but I still liked it

it was better than robot x laserbeam anyway

Thats no metric. If the Japanese readers took to U19 hard we'd still have that bum huffing waste of 17 pages stanking up the comic regardless of quality.

I know it's based on popularity. what I'm saying is that I wish something else had gotten the axe instead

it's a subpar shonen that does nothing particularly new or interesting. unless you're desperate for a new shonen series, you can safely skip it

that chapter is great but it doesn't require context to work

yea unless the author always thought of this part as a prologue to the real beginning of the story, this feels odd. a 3 year time skip 30 chapters in seems pretty out of the norm

Latest chapter of Robot x Laserbeam really doesn't fill me with confidence in the series' direction.

it fills me with confidence in the author's love of helicopters. also everyone looks exactly the same after the time skip

Swimmer girl lost my support the moment she chose to back down.

Even though I can totally understand her reasons for doing so!

probably because the main guy is a minor and she isn't

yea it is. the ending is a bit of a wet fart tho and it's so weird that the final arc focused on the characters it did. where the hammerheads and erina so popular that they needed the final mini arc to themselves?

actually I started reading crows after the translation for clover ended and it's a pretty fun read too
