The music especially, has me smitten.

Episode 3 was the best one, from an emotionally involving pov. But I liked episode 4 a lot too. The storytelling was pretty awesome in that one.

I won't deny Togashi is dragging things out; but maybe this way it's easier for him to keep writing at a steadier pace than before. (best proof of this is the amount of spreads he's done since v25)
Also, dragged out as it may be; I'm having a blast reading it. I can't remember when I've experienced shit as epic in shounen manga as HxH's last couple of volumes.

The problem with other series; when they start to drag, it's usually due to pressure from the editors. I can't imagine Togashi ever caring what an editor thinks. If it's dragging right now, it's because HE wants it to.

I agree. In no way is this comparable with the boring dreck that's been Bleach in the Hueco Mundo arc.
Shit's just hella cool in HxH right now.

@Malintex_Terek:

That said…I'm surprised ocean said he hated it, but that might explain why barbapapa doesn't like it as well. I was seriously going to PM you guys when I first started Mx0 with loads of love when I noticed KEFI took it on as a project, and I am still grateful you did something like the first volume. :happy:

It was started in an age where I still liked shounen manga a lot; and it seemed fun at first. I mean for crying out loud, I even worked on To-Love-Ru at the start of my scanlating career. (why the hell is that piece of dung not cancelled yet)

3 months has been the regular span of breaks, having it return in September is just 1 month extra. Maybe the extra month is to give Togashi enough time to create a proper ending…

• Boku to Issho

Impossible to do without an immense budget:

• The World Is Mine

Should have happened a long time ago:

• Rookies
• Rokudenashi Blues

Should have had more:

• Piano no Mori
• Firefighter Daigo

Joy to the world.

I have to say, I've been mildly disinterested in Fairy Tail ever since this new arc started… I'm still reading it every week; but it just seems like Hiro Mashima isn't too skilled at giving the supposedly epic parts much weight.

Only Kaiba for moi.
