Kinda disappointing that the scanslations for the first half have stopped. Was really looking forward to read it all. :(
Ousama Ranking (Ranking of Kings)

167 is out.

That's the last chapter from the most recent volume published in April. So there's probably a few more chapters before we're caught up but its hard to find information,
-
The latest chapter is 206 so we're almost 40 chapters behind in the scanlations
Here's the official page for the raws:

I figured we were a fair bit behind but that's a lot behind!
-
After an almost three month break, it looks like the translating group has fianlly gotten back into doing the newer chapters.
168-170 are up!

This seems like the actual start of a new arc rather than just the cleanup of the previous story that all the previous chapters were about.

Ranking of Kings: Treasure Chest of Courage anime special coming in April. It will be an original story not seen in the manga, though just given some of the characters in the poster I could see them maybe using a tiny tiny bit of the story where the anime left off.
Also chapter 171 and 172 are out now.

Finally got around to checking this show out (watching the dub btw). Two episodes in now and...
Episode 1: Oh, this is pretty cool. Didn't see that ending coming.
Episode 2: ... -
Yeah, Kings is really really good at pulling on those heartstrings with perfectly placed drama flashback and hero moments, pretty much on par with OP.
Its absolutely my favorite new anime of the last several years, hands down.
Just wish the manga was further along so more of it could be animated.
-
Eight episodes in and, if I wasn't invested before I'm definitely invested now.
One thing I really like about this show is that, aside from Bojji and Kage, you're never really sure who to root for, what everyone's agenda is, or whose loyalties lie with whom. Certainly keeps the audience on their toes.
And that theme song, man. I didn't think too much of it at first, but now it really pumps me up when I hear it, especially when it kicks in at the end.
-
Yes, that is a completely fair assessment of King Boss.
-
I have read a batch of the latest chapters. I forgot how short they are :-)
I like the new princess and her love interest. The author is quite good to make interesting characters -
Finished up the anime. The show started out good, got great in the middle, but lost me a little bit towards the end.
Overall, still had a great time with the show. Don't know if I'll read the manga, but when/if a second season comes out I'll definitely be watching.
EDIT: Holy frig! I just found out that Kage was voiced by ProZD. The hell?!
-
The anime definitely suffers from the expectation that the story will actually conclude anything so a LOT of the stuff they stopped on is... weird.
The next 5 or 6 chapters in the manga have immediate follow up and further resolution to a LOT of stuff, and I'm really not sure why they didn't include those to finish out the season, aside from the fact that Bojii isn't in them. It'll be really wierd coming back from a multi-year break and having to start up again RIGHT THERE to resolve a whole mess of things.
Like some of it leads right into the next story arc so I can understand maybe wanting to hold off, but things like where they stopped with Oken isn't the actual resolution, and the proper end is so soon after where it stops..
maybe that's what the filler movie will be doing.
-
I'guess Sadi still had some tomatoes in store. He sure plays the villain good, he is an interesting character. The princess falling in love so quickly was a bit forced though
-
That looked pretty cut and dry so I'm curious what the twist is. It's defo a ploy but there needs to be something else here.
-
Whelp, the filler season has started.
And boy is it filler.
I thought it was going to be like a typical anime movie, "here's an adventure unrelated to the main plot where we go find a treasure chest and beat a badguy".
Instead its random fill in stories from inbetween the first season.
And had these episodes been crammed in at the time they might have felt like organic expansions (that killed the pacing) but in a wholly separate season the obvious flller REALLY feels like filler. I understand that the manga keeps going immediately from where the first season stops so it'd be hard to do anything with the secondary characters without getting into trouble but surely a one-off adventure with the leads was doable?My hype levels plummeted hard.
Does explain why the poster was showcasing all the characters I guess.
Bojji is still the best though.
-
Yeah I went into this excited but it's shockingly dull. Good production and characters can only go so far when you don't have a story to tell. Studio should have just saved the money polishing the new season in 2024.
-
My initial reaction was pretty much the same, but after accepting that it's all filler I'm ok with it. The worldbuilding was one of the most interesting things about the story in the first half, certainly much more than all the Miranjo plot. Also I guess there's still a chance for a mini arc later on? If the fillers continue to be in chronological order, we may get a continuation/expansion of the story.
-
For anyone that gave up on this season for being all filler,the tenth and final episode is straight from the manga and is the big story continuation where season 1 left off.
It's SUPER important and should have been the final episode of the first season, but it has minimal Bojjii and is a lot of future setup so I get it, but it really really rounds out season 1. So make sure you watch that one if you don't watch any of the others.
Also we're getting a movie, yay!
-
The last few chapters raise quite a lot of questions. I really wonder what happened to Boji
And the poor Kage, where did that God go ? At least I'm happy he stopped crying non stop -
@Robby Thanks for the heads up. I watched up to episode 3 of it because that one felt pretty important and not very fillery, but then I stopped. Will go back and watch tomorrow.
