CorgiShinobi Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Naruto had its final issue today at Chapter 700. Man, 15 years it has been around and do I feel old. I remember being a dweeby lil' teen when I got the first Shonen Jump for the United States. Naruto and One Piece, man. Who knows when One Piece will end, and while it definitely still has quality to it, One Piece tends to drag on. Seems like Oda and Kishimoto grew into veterans and if you read the two's latest chapters, they reference the other with Naruto's finale. There will technically be a short story series in Spring 2015, but I'm not expecting a whole lot. The Great Ninja War (or whatever) felt like a big "And Then" plot that never bothered to calm down. It wasn't like the Freiza Saga in Dragon Ball Z where it more or less felt obvious to the gradual power increase and threat level. Just, the final chapter of Naruto actually felt good. Yeah, it's sort a fanservice thing, but every popular anything tends to end that way. It wasn't obnoxious and was a bit endearing with the new generation. Oh, and... NARUTO AND HINATA IS CANON!

Mister Jack Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 "Oh boy! A new One Punch Man chapter!" *8 pages long* It sucks being a fan of non-shonen manga sometimes. It's been a month since the tournament started and Saitama hasn't even stepped out of his dressing room yet. I know that drawing manga is hard but if these artists are making a living off of it (and have an entire month between chapters) then they really ought to step it up a bit. I think the worst example I've seen so far is a chapter of Watamote that was six pages long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Final volume of Gundam The Origin came out this month after starting back in March of 2013. One of the rare few series I've collected in full. SIEG ZEON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Berserk is on hiatus again... God damn it, Miura, put down the fucking Idolmaster games! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) I think I'm going to start Berserk regardless of hiatus or not. I can only come across so many mentions and nods to it in games to ignore it. Edit: Volume 27... and The Boat is almost here. I can feel it.

Mal Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Caught up with Berserk. I'm liking it but the hiatus... if they didn't existed then the Boat Ride is actually kind of short. Miura for sure written himself into a mighty knot, I think. I'm liking the results of what he has written though! So MJ, time for me to join the wonderful ride that is waiting for Berserk! If only Miura could only complete multiple chapters in advance so his breaks isn't as painful. And there is the thing of if Berserk in a good sort of circumstances can come out once a month, we might see at least another 10-15 years of Berserk. Theoretically it could come out twice a month but still, I think there has to be another 100-200 chapters left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Jesus, that ending was a mess. I can't totally blame Kubo, though. At least, I don't think I can. He was no longer in a position like Oda where he can do whatever he wants and I heard that the editors were really pushing him hard to speed things up and make a bunch of changes to the story he probably wouldn't have otherwise. Ending it like this, though...I mean Jesus, SO many plot holes. I followed the series to the end just because I had come so far I felt like I oughta see it through, but there was really no payoff here. Yhwach was built up as the most ludicrously powerful manga villain ever and then he goes out like a total bitch. What a disappointment.

CorgiShinobi Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I stuck with Naruto to the end because I had spent so much time with it, and in some way I got some enjoyment out of it. With Bleach, I stuck with it because it was almost always a quick read and, again, spent so much time with the series. For a long time, I suspected things were going to be forgotten and we'd be given plot holes for days. Not to mention Yhwach, much like Aizen, was such a bullcrap OP villain that kept trashing on Ichigo. "Herp da derp, I broke your sword once more! I have crazy future powers and reject your reality!"

Mal Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Regarding Berserk and the current events... Reveal hidden contents I have to disagree with all the expectation that everybody will die around Guts again. At least anytime soon*. Guts and company is currently at the heart of some sort of holy land with who is essentially a high level not-apostle. Most magic we have seen has been from Schierke, a witch-in-training. The other powerful magical objects like the Berserker armor were made by even stronger being/magic users. There is also the thing that Griffith sent an army of strong apostles to kill Flora, Schierke's teacher. So I think if Griffith sends an attack force at Elfhelm, it will get repulsed. The counter force to the Idea of Evil has always been around. I think it is time it shines. * Shit will go down at Griffith's city. It'll be a super Eclipse like that that brought down Gaiseric. It'll be really hard to survive such an event. Guts and Casca had Skull Knight. Oh yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Is anyone still reading Attack on Titan? Because they finally got to the damn basement and... Reveal hidden contents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I forget to read it at times since it's monthly. When I heard they actually got to the basement, I read through it. It confirms a few thoughts the fans have had, but it leaves just as many questions. Reveal hidden contents Exactly how advanced are the other humans? Are the walls actually an experiment like some say, or perhaps the result of a rebellion that created a splinter group living under a false history. In the translation I read, the last sentence reads something like, "humanity was not annihilated nor destroyed." It's almost the same as "not extinct," but at the same time implies there was never a cataclysmic event that results in all of humanity flocking to giant walls.

Mal Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Seems like Berserk is going on a break to coincide with the anime release schedule. So back in 2017 with season 2. Now this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Why? Seriously, why. The manga has been on break long enough. Plus, it's delaying a great manga to coincide with a terrible anime. It's not like people wouldn't want to read it while the anime is on break. Does Japan actually think it's a good adaptation?

Mal Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 And it's out and translated. Who knew you can make me feel uneasy by a simple black circle? Maybe the hiatus is a good thing... Here's a rough sketch of what to come. Reveal hidden contents To think scribbles like these becomes the beautiful pages we get. Hell the scribbles leading up to the last page in the current chapter was well played. It's nicely thought out. But yeah... The girls signed up for a really fucked up mission.

Mister Jack Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 I read the latest One Piece chapter and I can't remember the last time I felt so angry at a manga. Not that the writing is bad or anything, but God damn it, reading what was happening in those pages had me grinding my teeth.

Mal Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Caught back up with Attack on Titan. It's done. The original intents is done. Reveal hidden contents Most titans outside the walls are eradicated and they see the ocean. Now to fight some Nazis over the ocean who probably has tanks. And their loyalist titans. It's going to turn into Dino Wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 It's Berserk season again. Partial leaks/scans of 348 are going out ahead of the 24th release. Most important part: April 28th for the next episode/chapter. If this holds until June, we might get closure on Casca... and maybe suffering.
