To me, especially given the spread of all the moments with his brother, it finally sunk through to Sasuke what Itachi did for him and everyone in Konoha. Everything else was someone egging on his anger and drive to gain power.

 

I can't imagine there ever being another turning point because we're in the endgame for Naruto. Nothing would compare, let alone a shot of all Four Hokages overlooking Konoha.

 

EDIT: Unless this were Asura's Wrath, then I could assume the planet is going to open up and some ancestral beast of evil will attack the world.

I had a really long night with Attack on Titan. I'm currently on chapter 37. As of right now, I'm liking it. It has a Claymore vibe but with better writing. The pacing is odd but it gets it point across. The chapters are beefy at about 40 pages each.

 

Now...

 

Titans everywhere! Seriously, what are they? They weigh nothing and can come out of thin air. There are also people that can change to Titans as well as people being Titans and that they are in the walls. Then there is that apparent primordial Titan, inferred from him not knowing about the 3D movement thing.

 

What an odd world. I just hope this series doesn't get too convoluted and long since this Titan business is immensely complicated.

Caught up.

I don't understand why they did it but nice move. I never realize that they do look alike. I got to check to see where they were during the second attack.However, it doesn't explain why they became human and nearly got their shit eaten a few times.

Thus... what are they after? They wreck havoc periodically when they could of easily taken out humanity. Something isn't right and I think it got to do with the king.

Who the fuck are the nobles and the royal family? Why are there Titans in the fucking wall!? How the hell was they even built?

The only way I can compare this to right now is to Greek mythology since that had gods called Titans (The enemy of mankind, so to speak). The Titan gave rise to the Olympian gods (The secondary Titans like Ymir) and perhaps the Titans have discontent among themselves as well...

Blah. Why is this once a month?

It's about a disgraced royal executioner who is forced to become a ronin, and roams the countryside, angry, vengeful, pensive, and philosophical, accompanied by his three-year-old (though he gets older over the course of the manga) child.

 

It conjures a time and place with overwhelming intricacy, care, and majesty. I was moved to tears at several points. It's unbelievably good.

 

It's from the 70's. I'm a big fan of the art, and even if one doesn't enjoy the character designs (which are fairly conservative and straightforward), the visual art is evocative enough to be excused of most other faults.

 

This is the sort of work it's hard to believe a couple of human beings were able to create. It's really something.

 

I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This will be random, but here's what I've been reading lately.

 

http://www.batoto.net/read/_/154969/denki-gai-no-honya-san_v3_ch13_by_display-none/2 And the page after that. Only 2 pages but so many things said. 'Tis a classic.

 

Edit: And the conclusion, http://www.batoto.net/read/_/154969/denki-gai-no-honya-san_v3_ch13_by_display-none/26 Until the end of the chapter.

Really took some time to read Nukoduke (8 Chapters in). It is pretty damn cute and I can see why it is popular for those who read it. Yuuya, you should read it!

 

Now I'm going into "It’s Not My Fault That I’m Not Popular!". This one might hit close to home... I try but can't say I can shake who I am... a quite guy with really not much to say. Before I get into a rant about my life story... time to jump in!

Haven't read a manga in a while. I mean only manga I'm genuinely keeping up with is Silver Spoon. I'd like to say Berserk but he'll never release a new chapter. I really want to start/catch up with Claymore. I was also reading that Maid-sama manga but I think I lost all interest once it began being "these two are dating but all these other guys want to fuck her too". I hate those plots. Only romance manga I really liked was the one where the couple starts dating early on and the rest of the manga is them facing issues within themselves and persona lives.

 

 

Has anybody here read Vagabond? I keep hearing good stuff but always wondered why it's not an anime if it's that popular

Vagabond is legendary if rumors are to believed. It also would be a sin to make it into an anime in today's world. We lack the Studio Which was Promised to bring it to life. This isn't some magical girl series.

 

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me of Vagabond. Nuko-ing it after Rozen Maiden. 35 volumes.

Edit: Shit, the series is expensive... $15 per volume. Do the math.

Seems like it has three volumes in one.
