Asahi is such a boring character and his gimmick is garbage. It makes me miss Azami skiing down mountains

! I really like the design of Erina’s Mum, she reminds me of Baiken from Guilty Gear.

RE: General Persona Thread
@Count:
I vehemently disagree. If we're talking worst Persona 4 party member Persona design, I think you mean Take-Mikazuchi. Kanji's Persona.
Every main character's Shadow has a design that is a clever well made representation of their repressed feelings (aside from maybe Naoto's. And Yukiko's is pretty cliche and on the nose).
In turn, their Personas end up being more healthy balanced versions of those Shadow designs; representing how they have accepted their true selves and taking responsibility for their flaws by striving to change. Yosuke, for all his writing faults later on in the story, probably has the best Shadow>Persona design transformation on a thematic level. And I think an inflatable air dancer ninja frog with Mickey Mouse ears just looks cool in general.
But then look at Kanji's. I love his Shadow's design because it perfectly embodies his internal struggle of fearing judgment for having both traditionally masculine and feminine personality traits. But his Persona design is such a shallow take on his character. It only embodies his rebel bad boy appearance facade (not that it's a complete facade since he is prone to fighting but it is mostly exaggerated to ward off people) and not any of his repressed sensitivity, gender identity conflict, and DIY sewing/furniture hobbies.
For some reason, Kanji's Persona looks like a Punisher-Hulkbuster Iron Man LEGO action figure with a giant lightning bolt rock stick. Which is an okay design, I guess? I feel like Atlus made the Persona design before they fully thought out Kanji's character and stuck with it because they liked how it looked too much to alter or scrap it.
Seriously, Kanji's Persona design boggles the mind. Especially when everything else about him is freaking perfect.
That's really cool, I never put much thought into how the persona designs relate to their shadow counterparts so it's interesting to hear. Funnily enough I actually really like Take-Mikazuchi's design but that's just entirely based off aesthetics and me thinking it's cool how he broke his lightening bolt whenever he used magic.
Think you meant to say Kintoki-Douji.
Kintoki-Douji is almost lame but it comes back around full circle to being cool by embracing being an ugly Persona that's carrying a huge missile

RE: General Persona Thread
I really like Ryuji because he perfectly fits in with the rebellious theme of Persona 5 and the game lets him be immature and a dumbass whilst also still reprimanding him and letting him have his own golden moments.
Yosuke on the other hand is just an ass and by far the worst ‘best friend’ character in the series, I only maxed his socia link because there was literally no one else left to hang out with. Also Jiraiya is a lame Persona

RE: Chainsaw-man
Really like this series, I’m glad it didn’t start with a big exposition dump about this being a world of devils and it just jumped right into the word and naturally let us pick up context about he word. Crossing fingers for survival
-
RE: The world is triggered…
Osamu is weak af and not blessed with any talent so 1 on 1 he gets blown out most of the time. He has to be devious and use strategies to make the other talents on his team shine even brighter. That and his earnestness is probably why he’s my favourite character
-
RE: The world is triggered…
Latest chapter is out on Viz.
I love how these fights play out and how we still see unique ways to use the triggers. Kuga kicking the escudo on Kou's back so that he misses was slick. Also Chika just throws a fucking spirit bomb! I keep forgetting how much trion she has but it's actually more than the top 3 trion levels in border combined (Hyuse, Ninomiya and Izumi)

RE: General Persona Thread
I reckon it’ll probably be a Persona 5 switch version, but my god do I hope it’s a dumb spin off like Persona 5 Racketball

It’s not been released though

RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
This entire arc should've been ridiculous. I'm talking insane powers, combos, and fights. Having unexpected characters shine as bright as regulars and just be a mess of fun and ferocity. Everything cranked up to 11. It's not bad, but I want more. More everything.
One thing I want more mangaka do like Hunter X Hunter is giving different characters the spotlight. Say what you what about Togashi but the guy isn't afraid to temporary give
characters the spotlight. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but I wish Hirokoshi trusted his characters enough to do the same.Might I recommend World Trigger, the rank wars are very similar to this arc but with better strategies, better team work and in my opinion more lovable side characters who actually contribute.
-
RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
I feel like at this point in the story if the character hasn't had any time in the spotlight or their moment to shine they will forever just be background dressing for the more central member of the cast. Sugarboy and the rest will never get their time to shine unless Deku or Bakugo set them up for an easy slam dunk.
-
RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
Hmmm I wonder who this new member could be
-
RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
Deku is kind of just a little goody two shoes dweeb, I'll always go for the character with some edge and a bit of an ego over that. May Bakugo's popularity reign supreme
-
RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
@Cyan:
Ojiro has done nothing of substance and has one big moment that people really like and keep bringing up and this is ultimately the fuel that feeds his popularity.
He's Tien.
That’s insulting Tien had multiple cool moments, Ojiro is Puar

RE: Super Smash Bros
I love that the running theme for all the reveal trailers of characters so far has been Nintendo characters brutally dying, then the story mode opens with mass death

Too bad the art sucks.

It feels like there are a lot of members of class A that just straight up suck on their own. Looking at Koda, Aoyama and Hagakure

RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
This meme about Togashi being a bad artist really needs to stop. Ever since the end of the election arc, where it seemed like he started to get a lot of help from assistants, the art has been fantastic. Literally the best HunterxHunter has ever looked. We all know and laugh about the scribbles but there has been significant improvement since then. All the designs for the nen beasts, the Chrollo Vs Hisoka fight, heck even the goofy ship design are great.
Also whenever someone praises the art it’s brought up that he’s just using assistants. How is this remotely a problem? Everyone uses assistants. If you’re gonna bark at him for being ‘lazy and having a bad work ethic’ then chastise him for using something to make drawing the manga easier and more consistent then it really just comes across as you having an issue with Togashi in general

One of the rare times where someone checks if there's an outrage or not. And half of it may not have been true all along. Man! The Doom fanbase is something alright. :getlost:
It’s not the Doom fan base it’s just a bunch of proud boys looking to get some views and stir shit

Here's a cool video from one of my favourite content creators about Morel and the real life inspirations for his character. I really hope we see more of him in the future.

RE: The "Everything-but-Shueisha" Thread
Oh appreciate it! Should've mentioned I was looking for an online site, not a downloading one. Will keep looking though, thanks!
Mangadex has it translated upto chapter 159. The series is being officially translated on Crunchyroll though and I think that's why most scanlators have stopped translating it, so you'll need a crunchyroll subscription to read it.

RE: Food Wars - It's In the Trash
@The:
Putting aside the ridiculousness of the whole "I want to beat the first seat so Erina will acknowledge me and so I can marry her", his whole plan is stupid, and it also feels very backwards when he pretty much at this time has proven his worth. Seems like he should wipe the floor with Soma, then have to beat the one man Erina looks up to when it comes to cooking. Instead he has already beaten the man Erina looks up to, and now has to beat Soma to be worthy? Sure, that sounds logical from a story perspective. Also, no, even if this is a ploy by Jorichiro it is still a stupid plot and doesn't rectify anything. Also, lol at the idea that these two are basically fighting over Erina when she can just be like "screw both of you, I don't belong to either of you".
This is a very good point and sounds like it would make a lot more sense!
At least this feels like it will be the final arc. After Soma inevitably loses to his 'brother' he'll probably go to his dad, learn about his mum and the joys of cooking for the one you love. Then come back and trounce his brother and play with Erina's tongue al he likes.

RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
The slurp panels were amazing, looking forward to seeing more Todoroki and Endeavour.
I hope the All for one/ One for all flashback is good because at the moment I do not care in the slightest about them, I'm much more interested in seeing Shigaraki's development then anything his master did in the past.

RE: Seven Deadly Sins
I love that all of the Sins treat Hawk with respect in spite of how haughty he is. In fact I think I love Hawks relationship with all the characters in the series.

RE: " Shokugeki no Sanji " gets English Release !
The art was good but I really wish they did more with it. The foodgasm itself could have been way more interesting than just 'she gets thin for a second'. It was kinda like chapter 1 of Shokugeki no Soma but worse. At least Sanji was sexy as hell

RE: Bart Simpson Thread XI: The Movie - The Manga Adaption - The Animation
Yeah the fight in the recent Boruto episode was fantastic, right up there with some of the best in the series (Rock Lee Vs Gaara, Naruto Vs Sasuke) in terms of animation and choreography.

RE: Dragonball Discussion Kai: Broly but this time it's not Broly
I don't think the story matters at all for me, I never really cared at all about what was cannon or non cannon. The animation and character designs from the original trailer have already sold me on this movie.
