Related just got done reading Zatch Bell(Gash Bell? Not sure what to call it.) It is super good. It looks like I need to go read Vector Ball.

The male lead had the chance to get any super power he could imagine, and his choice was "Make things work like real life and not manga". He of course was completely successful in his endeavor because of it.

I largely did not actually enjoy Medaka Box. However, "defeat the super powered heroine by changing the genre into a love comedy so she instead is defeated by falling in love with the MC" was one of the greatest things I feel I've witnessed in a manga.

All of this sounds awesome.

A Dragon Ball Super chapter just dropped on Viz's site and is free to anyone, so maybe it's like Crunchyroll where it can't handle it.

The former and I'm gonna be honest I just want a manga that's just an excuse for the author to draw good dogs every week.

other series' have lasted a while with reused characters and it's not even close to as bland/poorly written as something like junk the black shadow (which had one of the worst opening chapters I've read in a while)

I don't trust it to be good in the long run but these initial chapters have been fine

Now you got me curious.

about junk? it's not bad in an interesting way. it's just black clover if it was more generic and not as well written

I'm just curious about the opening chapter, but I was expecting something trashy, not super generic and boring.

I read the Eden Zero chapter and I'm going to stick with it, but there's reusing character design and then there's just slightly changing the name of one your past characters.

Elcy Crimson sounds like the name of a Chinese knock off action figure.

Gonna be honest I would be a lot more into this if there wasn't an guild and it was more about Rebecca and Happy advancing their Space Youtube career.

Also find it funny that Junk the Black Shadow and Eden Zero both use Granbell as a location name.

I stand by the opinion that the Fullbringers would have had a much more interesting arc if it wasn't 0 to betrayal in 60 seconds. You introduce all these characters that could be fun new allies since we can't directly interact with Soul Society anymore, and Ichigo literally just got new powers and a slick new ninja style outfit when everyone heel turns on him. All you had to do was a short arc where Ichigo actually gets to do something and all these new friends get more developed, so when they actually betray him it's a million times more dramatic. You could even drop hints the whole time that maybe Xcution isn't what it seems and Ichigo keeps catching whispers from Soul Society through his badge.

But nope. None of that and all the fullbringers are never seen again. And then the Yhwach shitshow starts.

Hey now they show up again just before the final boss and proceed to do nothing!

Also rewatching the Soul Society Arc and I still like it. Kenpachi's monologue after his defeat is super good and not gonna lie I like the part at the end where Ichigo and Renji take on Aizen. Renji uses a technique he can use once and Ichigo's music starts up only for Aizen to go "nah" destroy them, get what he wants, and fucks off somewhere.

Also sometime in the Arc Ichigo goes "I can't imagine Chad losing" which is retroactively the funniest line in the series.

Not sure but did people catch last week's chapter of Marry Grave?
It's not a look-alike or a clone, it's just his great-granddaughter. I instantly imagine her not believing who he really is and it takes a peek in the coffin to see her great-grandmother to convince her.

Unless I'm missing something perusing Mangaplus' site they don't keep the full series available, even for series that have ended serialization. And if it's a series that is still updating they keep a 3 chapter queue of the most recent chapters and bump of the oldest chapter to make room for the new one. The benefit of keeping a fan translation of a manga hosted on those terms is that when people want to read older chapters they are probably more likely to go to your site where you still host them.

Well unless you are Mangastream.

Oh wow, I never knew about that second part. That does really suck, especially since EL is the second half of a subplot and you need to see Water 7 to understand or care about any of it.

They did, Toonami restarted One Piece at the Davy Back Fights since that was when the aspect ratio changed happen.

Toonami did hype up Enies Lobbies I think right after they step off the train and then a not too long after that everything stops so each of the Strawhats get their own clipshow episode and it's like 5 episodes straight/a whole month. I mean that solves the explaining the characters problem I guess.

Everything starts off okay, they beat the people that boarded their ship, they beat one of the elite 4 dudes, then the dude who beat the elite 4 gets shot and everything just starts going to poo poo until everyone is captured.

Then the bad guy gathers them up in some underground, tells them he sold off the two mascot characters to a junk shop, chops off the arm of the dude who got shot, reveals that they didn't actually beat the people who boarded their ship and he now has control of the ship, and when the MC is giving his hot blooded "I will beat you" speech the bad guy shoots him in the head and the manga goes "yes he just loving died"
