Tried it last week just because the thumbnail caught my eye, but I went in not because I was hoping to like it but because I wanted to check the obvious new terrible generic battle shonen that will be canceled in less than 20 chapters. So I was just wanting to revel in that weird pleasure of watching a train wreck.
Turned out it was surprisingly good! Nice art, very good aesthetics (I know I want to see a dozen other spreads with those fishes), likeable characters, even the way it introduces the plot elements feels fresh.
Somehow this turned into an online meme already. The series itself is average so far, but I like the idea of a katana with 3 goldfish-based powers. And it flows a bit better than the usual axebait series we got these past few batches.
How did this become such a big hit so fast? Am I missing something?
@Shiebs The power of memes.
I think this series will do really well. What got me good was the food sequence and a good humor/slice of life side to a series is always an indicator of how good a series will be. Both the action scenes and art has been top notch so this was the one thing that wasn't quite there yet. And now it is.
Yeah, I picked the first chapter up because I was fooled by some random comment, lol. Got no choice but to keep reading now.
Is it me or was the translation a little off in chapter 4? During fight with daruma dude, especially when Chihiro describes red fish ability.
Well chapter 9 is out and I must say, I'm liking this flick.
Chapter 11. This shit isn't bad at all!
Kinda hoping it hits off. The world is interesting enough, and there are hints it might be built in a greater detail. It's like gangster Naruto, basically.
I've been enjoying it so far.
What they're doing to Char is pretty brutal :(
I'm still following it, but it's not doing well on the weekly JUMP ToC.
Actually, all the three new titles are usually on the bottom 5. So I wouldn't be surprised if all three get cancelled around chapter 30.
If one of them survive, though, it should be Kagurabachi, as it is consistently ranking (slightly) higher than MamaYuyu and Two on Ice.
I gave MamaYuyu a try and it had a really good start (even better than Kagurabachi), but once the prologue was over it was straight to Generic Land and I eventually stopped checking on it.
Oh, I haven't been watching the ToC for a while... it's not doing well? I wonder if its popularity overseas would be enough to influence things? A while ago there was a flurry of sensational headlines about threatening to dethrone One Piece like some kind of boxing match which admittedly made me check out the first chapters.
Are they ending it ? The comments in this thread had me check the series and it's somewhat interesting, but the latest chapter feels like events are speeding up all of a sudden and could be headed towards a final duel.
Unless the current antagonist is but a stepping stone and the meaty chunks have yet to come.
