I dunno. Can he really be all that smart? I mean, I haven't seen him light himself on fire yet.

David D. Davidson posted:That's it, that last chapter was too dull and boring, I'm dropping the series. What? We got a misunderstanding where the principal thought that Loid hits his patients, we got a funny scene of doctors rethinking their opinion on ghosts after a spooky noise, and we got Anya's terrible handwriting. I know this comic being about a very normal family can be dull, but this had a bit more of them getting into comic circumstances. I don't see why this one would be the dealbreaker.

Crasical posted:This feels like an explosive success for someone's first serialized manga. He had a few serialized manga before, too. Tista ran for two volumes in Jump SQ. He and Shihei Lin, his editor, go way back. They went to New York together to research Tista, they developed the concept for Spy X Family together, and he even assigned Endo to work as an assistant for an up-and-coming kid he had doing a series in Jump+. That series was Fire Punch. Basically, Shihei Lin is one of the all time great editors, and if he believes in a writer, he's going to do what it takes to let them succeed, no matter if that's "I think we should go lighter and more family friendly this time. You know, change it up." or "I see no reason your color pages shouldn't be an uncensored lesbian orgy. Go for it."

tsob posted:Yeah, Spy x Family is more of a slice of life about a couple of fun characters becoming a found family and the plot is, at best, secondary to any antics they get up to in service of the plot. I'm not even sure how you'd measure pacing in a work that is basically entirely dependent on the interaction of the cast, and where the plot is probably just a nebulous goal to hang in the background and frame everything around. Power levels. If having people loudly talk about them would be too distracting, we can just put a scouter in Henry's monocle so we can see how much more powerful Anya gets every chapter.

loving love Fiona Apple posted:A four year old from an orphanage being able to keep up with a bunch of rich 6 year olds who've probably had tutoring is very impressive. I don't think she's dumb at all. I think Hina from later on in Hinamatsuri is a decent comparison point in some ways. Both Hina and Anya aren't stupid. They act stupid due to circumstances, sure, (Anya being four in a school for 6 year old children of wealth, Hina being lazy and sleeping through school every day of her life) but when the rubber hits the road, they're able to easily keep up with the average, and even have moments of brilliance. The thing is, they're not geniuses either, so there's no big moments to counter the moments of being stupid, (and Anya has the whole psychic thing) leaving an impression of them being much stupider than they are.

PringleCreamEgg posted:My speculation only exists because Chainsawman has taught me to fear for the worst for every character I care about. Look, just because both series have the same editor is no reason to be worried. I mean, sure, Endo was Fujimoto's assistant on Fire Punch, and yes, both series do have a cold war setting, and Chainsaw Man didn't kill any major characters until about a quarter of the way in, but, really. What are the odds of something bad happening around a professional assassin?

Nice touch on a narrative level? The assassins that Yor can't kill due to circumstances are being established as Professionals. They hit the target, and nobody else. Still bad people, but with enough sympathetic qualities that you don't need them to die. Meanwhile, the guys getting iced are shown to want to violate those rules, so it's totally okay to murder them.

Mecha posted:I did, and I'm also pretty sure that "King of Chak--" is a reference to the assassin from the "how Char and Lalah met" scene in Gundam: The Origin Wait. Does that mean you're suggesting that Yor is a Newtype? I mean, we know that Anya isn't, because Newtypes aren't psychics according to Lt. Bajeena, so someone else has to be.

a kitten posted:A podcast i really like just did an episode on Spy x Family and pointed out something on the volume covers i should probably have noticed on my own: Very specific, character appropriate real world art chairs. But it's not that much of a surprise, considering that we're talking an author who actually went to New York with his editor back when he was doing a manga set in New York, despite having almost no budget. They had to share a room. I'm not saying that assigning Endo to work as an assistant for a 23 year old weirdo movie geek was revenge, per se. I'm just not not saying it.

I mean, Princess Principal technically isn't over yet. There's been two movies released, with four more in planning. Takes a bit longer to see them than the day and date we get for most anime these days, but there is going to be more content for that.

Probably not decades. Loid's in his early 30s at the oldest, and he was 16ish when he joined the army. Still, he's known the guy his entire adult life, and that's still pretty significant.

Mulva posted:The war is nominally like WW2, the setting is somewhat Germany, and it's roughly 20-ish years after the war. I think the anime even said that it was the 2020s, judging from Yor's biographical data. (Which would be extra-funny, given how another Cold War Jump manga surprised people by being set in the 90s.)

Popo posted:This is a good run down of his history. Turns out Chainsaw Man (well, Fire Punch) was a factor in him getting back into making manga. There's something really nice about seeing the stops and starts before he really got running with Spy x Family. It's still interesting to me that Endo's editor told him to go work as an assistant for a rookie a decade plus younger than he was. You need a lot of trust to do something like that without it being very awkward for everyone involved.

Arbite posted:I mean Haman was the only tyrant that managed to fully conquer the Earth and it's space in the whole franchise, there are lower heights to aspire to. She didn't, though. The Earth Federation came to a truce where they gave her side 3, and they weren't doing active resistance because ZZ Gundam's Federation is lovely in ways that make no sense even with their bad track record in Zeta, but she's never given authority over Earth or the sides other than Side 3, which she didn't even appear to get most of from how she didn't roll into Zum City to see the Zabi family castle.
