Gintama still my 2nd fave but it's definatley in the top 5
Sket Dance.
-
-
Sket Dance's my #1 favourite manga, but this chapter (and the previous one too) was just way too sappy to be very enjoyable.
-
For me, it would rank top 5 in either "ongoing weekly manga I follow and enjoy", or "ongoing WSJ manga"
But with bi-weekly and monthly added to the list, it drops off the top 10. -
Sket Dance manages its drama quite well. But its humour is of a hit and miss variety. It's noticeable Shinohara was Sorachi's assistant, but this student doesn't surpass the master. All in all, I could put it somewhere close to the top 10 if I had one.
-
After OP and HXH, Sket Dance is my favorite manga.
I've only read about the first 25 chapters of Gintama, but I couldn't get into it like I could Sket Dance.
-
Sket Dance is definitely one of my favorite manga. I'd put it up above Gintama but mostly because I prefer Sket Dance's more plot driven humour more than Gintama's random absurd stuff out of nowhere humour. And I just like the grounded nature of the series more because I feel it's more relatable.

! When Daisy was crying I lost it.
-
! When did she trade in her hockey stick for that motor cycle, when did she get a license in the first place?
-
So yeah, I've been marathoning through this series pretty fast. I came in expecting a comedy manga that got old and stale overtime…
All I got was tears. I'm almost through with the anime episodes, so I'll probably go back and reread the manga to get up to speed (and catch any details that most anime love to skip).
But dear god, I can't even look at switch the same after his past was revealed. That dude is living more miserable than everyone in the entire series... I like how he said Bossun "saved him" when he's still clearly blaming himself for what happened.
He's still my favorite character next to Tsubaki though.

Manga's even better!

The transformation of Tsubaki might be the series' greatest single triumph.

I'll probably start on the manga tonight.
Tsubaki's just a fun character, he's so uptight and serious that he comes full circle into being completely silly at times. You can't hate the guy because he always tries to improve himself and means well, plus his gullibility makes him pretty hilarious.
-
The one-shot manga "Houkago Idol" (Afterclass Idol) in the latest issue of WSJ was pretty fun, but serious deja vu
Female delinquent gang leader, talks and acts just like old-school suke-ban typecast, who secretly wants to become idol singer, and protagonist help her achieve that goal.
…..... GEEZ THAT SOUNDS FAMILIAR..
-
So is the manga is far behind the actual release if I understand it? I'm on pins and needles.
-
I remember we were about a year behind the Japanese release at one point a few months ago, but when we get small batch releases every so often I'm not too sure.
-
Yeah, almost 40 chapters always. It's kind of frustrating that they get a little edge and then the dry spells.
-
I just watched Episode 36 of the anime (first part of Himeko's backstory), and all I have to ask is where can I find that really cool piece of guitar music that plays near the end of the episode?

When she goes crazy? I wonder where you can find, but I believe there's some kind of OST album for Sket Dance already; I guess it's called "Best Hit Kaimei" or something… It must have it.

I remember going through that album, and I don't think it maybe on there (though it wouldn't hurt to look again). If it's not on there, then there's the always the new OST that was just released yeasterday
-
..They're really trying their hardest to market Saya aren't they?
! It's working…:ninja:
-
Well according to the manga she is the most popular female not counting Himeko.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
-
"Worst start ever"
Oh dear, Switch. -
Bossun is a Super High-School Level Helper.
-
I didn't understand shit about Teruko XD
-
Best part of the chapter was reminding me of that lollipop commercial. Funniest shit ever.
-
"You know you look like Yobaba from spirited away?"
Holy… crap my sides.
-
Well, it looks like start of Switch On got a favorable rating.
I think it'll dip for a few weeks, and start rising back as shit hits the fan.
-
I haven't checked any raws but I have the feeling that when the flashback is over we are going to have a Bossun rebirthday situation where at the end of the chapter Sawa appears before Switch.(or is that more of a finale plot?)
-
Anybody else think the anime might be ending? 'Cause it sure seems that way :'(

No? What makes you say that?

Think someone mentioned gintama is taking its time slot,which I don't mind since I think gintama is better anyway.
Ans it'll help maintain the quality of both shows if they rotate them out. Since both are episodic
-
Climax for Switch On ended, just epilogue connecting to present time left for next week.
It was heart warming, but not gut-wrenching like the other flashbacks so far.
-

Update: apparently it ends at EP. 77

Need some translation magic for clarification.
-
it seems gintama taking it's slot is what has caused it to end. A shame cause i was hoping it would just move time slots.
I wonder if sorachi will make a joke about this considering the his version of the crossover -

-
Yeah it states that the only show ending is sket dance at ep 77.
Sad but on the other we won't at least get any filler that way.I think it's fine it's probably going to change next year again.
Doesn't I'll see it as a slightly longer summer break like many american shoes do. -
Both Gintama and Sket-dance could be very hard to do filler for because of they way they are written, so I guess this is for the best.
-
I really like the idea of alternating between Sket Dance and Gintama, would really help keep pacing for both series in check
-
alternating between both would be the most ideal but the way it sounds it doesn't seem like sket dance will be returning for a while. Even when gintama enevitbley ends again
-
Chapter's out. Gotta love Tsubaki.
-
But…aren't the girls more awesome in this chapter? XD
-
Their shirts made it all perfect in the end.

Is the anime as good as the manga? Maybe i'll give it a try.
-
Super…. bishounen Bossun..
I have puke in my mouth.
-

Haha, that class being full of gangsters was pretty funny.And so were Chuu-san's eerie speeches in the beginning and the class's reaction to them.
I was so glad when it turned out that they'll all be together again.What a colorful class, lol.
