I'd come out hating this chapter if Jura came out and beat them both with judo chops

RE: The Witcher 3
Pretty excited about this game looks like ciri is going to show up.
No need to mention Dragon age that series is a lost cause after DA2 so now they are going to just ape everything that's popular now. -
RE: Dorohedoro
the mangaka used to be an assistant for tsutomo nihei on Blame! or whatever. So I guess she picked up his style
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
So Lucy is definitely lying now because I get the implication her getting the date wrong and lying about when she actually showed up in the past saying she came on the 4th(jellal has been sensing the same magical presence for every GMG) is to clue people into this.
Rogue's story still makes zero sense to me. So he killed a dragon/became dragonslayer(maybe?) Joined phantom lord idolizing gajeel?

RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Simon dying was terrible because erza could have saved him but got Natsu instead. Then she sacrificed herself only to have Natsu save her anyway.
In a way yeah erza is responsible but jellal killed him. -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Kagura isn't using magic unless those named attacks are just attack names for style. She knows gravity magic though she used it when she fought yukino.
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
pretty good chapter.
I like how its bringing up a completely justifiable reason for Kagura to hate jellal instead of a made up on the spot event that we didn't see. Stuff like this actually gives weight to all the characters actions now. Simon died over 200 chapters ago though and 7 years ago in the story Erza shouldn't even be taking the blame for his death when he gave his life to save her and natsu.I'm sure Erza won't die obviously that's not happening since Future levy already kinda spoiled that the "deaths" don't happen until the next day but since jellal is already kinda casting doubt on future lucy's knowledge that might not happen at all.

RE: Onepunch-Man (redrawn version)
No they are both the same comic. The one version that's more popular simply has much better art.
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
So the princess has already used the eclipse gate when Lucy and Yukino were in front of it but is still waiting on the outcome of the tournament to determine whether she sends anyone through.
Not really sure why future lucy even met up with the other team if her main goal is to make sure someone goes through it. -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Mashima has been trolling pretty effectively with the robbed girl since 297 when Jellal saw her and then we had to have two filler chapters to get back to the main story only it didn't matter because we wouldn't see her face anyway.
Still it brought more Gildartz
Still Kagura is pretty cool she's like a more refined erza
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Natsu sure is classy grabbing her butt like that
Anyway looks like Erza v Kagura is finally going down. I think it'll end in a tie but who knows anymore someone has to win this tournament -
RE: Dragonball Discussion
@Aru:
So there is something worse than auto tune… japanese auto tune.
Damn, I'm not much of a music fanatic, but this thing sounds horrible. And yeah, I did lose some respect to Akira for forgetting things from his best known title. It's not even a matter of forgetting, it's about respecting your creation and people who do like this stuff, your readers. I don't want him to be Oda, I know Oda is crazy about his readers, but least Akira could do is get his shit together if he takes money for it.
Maybe it's for the best AT didn't think about another DB arc after all these years, lately it seems like EVERYONE can come up with a better story than the creator.
Anyone read the Dragon Ball AF manga? There's this one guy who draws a really great version of his "after DB ended" arc. From what I remember there's talk about where did Goku go after the dragon took him, that the mother of Freeza and Cooler wants revenge and other shit. It's corny as hell, but that's what makes it great. I think last time I read it, where the english translation stopped, they were about to call Goku back from the faw away place he trains it by making all of the big warriors power up so that he can sense them even there, a genius idea for DB standards.So your saying Toriyama's writing is worse than fanfiction?

RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
When she fought Lucy it looked like she was doing some sort of explosive decompression because she said it felt heavier around her like lead.
I assume whatever dimension she telaports people to and from is the reason she can fire off ki blasts but that's assuming Mashima goes any deeper into Minnerva's magic -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
@Fire Fist:
Minerva makes a big boom, and Erza and Kagura only get minor wounds. Seems Minerva is just trying to get a real fight out of them. Typical.
Also, the mysterious person is finally revealed, and it's… someone from the future. I'll hold out the small hope that Mashima makes everything proceed as planned so that a time paradox isn't created, but then again... he'll probably have it changed where everyone gets saved and a big party is had by all.
Isn't the fact that future Lucy is meeting her younger self creating a sort of long time loop for Lucy?
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
I'm interested in how Lucy lost an arm and somehow has evil magic now(if she really is the evil magic presence).

No we get a chapter next week
A double issue means it counted for last week and the next -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
There's over the top violence and sex in all forms of media. I wouldn't judge anything based solely on that because that's a very narrow way to view anything. Saying its all the lowest common denominator is because it adheres to those things is just absurd. Is Berserk suddenly a low tiered manga because of all the violence and nudity? Is Battle Royale no longer a good story because of all the sex and violence? Do we have to stop saying Pulp Fiction is a good movie too? How far do you take it.
Of course were talking about FT a children's shonen manga and propensity at which you see close ups of ass and breast shots. I can read some of the best comic books today and you'd see the same thing because an artist just draws that way. Its entirely too weak of an argument to say "oh I can't focus on the story this girl's ass is showing too much" and that's basically the sum of most of the complaints in regards to fanservice in general.Its only when a series tries to sell you only on that titilating aspect that's when it hits the lowest common denominator. I had to drop Negima because its a harem manga and even when it stopped being primarily a harem manga it still sold you on the titilation more than it ever did on the story. Likewise I hate manga like fire candy because they can only sell you on the grose out squick factor of everything.
Those things are very obviously the lowest common denominator. -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexposition
There's a difference between titillation,weak attention grabs, and an establishing character moment.
Don't count me among the rabble who think think removing the fanservice from any series instantly makes it better. You still have the same story but without the big red sign in your face saying "look at this" every few pages**.** Fairy Tail is no better or worse when it comes to Fanservice then any other manga/comic book. When you create characters with comically huge boobs you're along the same tier regardless of how much attention is drawn to it. -
RE: Onepunch-Man (redrawn version)
Yeah the art this chapter gave me serious gantz feels. Looked funny but nothing to serious happened
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Your not complaining about consistency though you're saying that Arcadios should have melted because he's a regular human and stepping in lava would melt you. Natsu shouldn't technically be able to breathe at all since earlier in the manga Hiro said he creates a low pressure zone around him when he fights. Technically being that close to Lava would have killed Lucy and Yukino anyway due to the sulfur.
That's common sense but ultimately common understandings are abandoned in a fantasy world with different rules about everything. If you didn't know its not actually possible for Lava to snuff out fire or for someone who can exert enough energy to cut buildings apart failing to cut a body part off that's manga logic for you.
I don't try to justify my nitpicks by throwing logic into everything when the story I'm reading clearly doesn't even follow those rules. You got an explanation for why Arcadios just got burned don't make it seem like the problem is anything other than it being a plot device for his survival. Hiro could have just left it as is and I'd still say its dumb to complain about since the way all of you have phrased made it seem like the problem wasn't anything other than how preposterous it all was.
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Might as well start asking why Natsu never kills anyone with his fire. At least that doesn't seem so inadequate
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Yeah it didn't really need to be explained I would have fully accepted he's just awesome like that
Some people watch LOTR and see all the battles and get immersed in the setting others watch LOTR and wonder how its possible for orcs and goblins in full plate armor to get killed by a single slash.
Alas the nature of nitpicking -
RE: Dragonball Discussion
Oh well yeah that is how GT started isn't it. I just tend to think of it as some AU where Goku is a kid again because of fun
-
RE: Dragonball Discussion
I didn't see any GT characters in that trailer…....
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Erza's definitely not gonna win if she beats both of them Fairy Tail just took down two team leaders and get the cap for both of them. No continuing the tournament since FT victory would be assured then
-
RE: Onepunch-Man (redrawn version)
hmmm I like the one shot seems interesting but I bet it'll be funnier when it gets translated
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
That sounds great so far
Throw in bitch tears and you'd have the perfect slice of life battle shonen -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
More filler + More plot=longer arcs
that's all he's changed
Remove the filler from this arc and he'd probably struggle for it to be longer than the Tenrou island arc. -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Now it all makes so much sense
He's stretching himself creatively and out pops the joke characters to fill in the spaces -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Mashima on how long this current arc has been,creating even more characters and confirming he makes it up as he goes(if you didn't already know)
| This arc sure is long. Every arc that I drew ends in about three volumes. While I do plan my stories out very vaguely, I have been continuing to draw very long arcs recently. Still, I wonder if I should draw shorter stories after Grand Magic Game ends. I should also be more careful not to draw so many characters. When I counted how many characters there are in this arc, there were over 80 (TT^TT). It really wears me out every week drawing so many. While it's pretty much impossible for 80+ characters to show up all normal in one chapter, but seems like there will be even more characters added in around next volume or so. Just what's going on with this series….?
This arc originally started out as "it's a festival" kind of thing, with the story right now feeling like it’s a compilation of everything up to now. But because it's getting towards a major climax feeling, there has been lots of rumors like "Fairy Tail might be coming to an end". Fairy Tail is not coming to an end yet. While I know that it will end someday, there are at minimum of three arcs I want to do after this. Maybe they'll be around 15-20 volumes? Of course it can end earlier than that, and it might continue beyond that. I have yet to think about how I will end the series |

RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
It's not pointless, it's a flaw that stands out. Just because it doesn't bother you, doesn't mean others can't comment on it. Mashima doesn't expand on what non-mage characters actually do or are like. And for the most part I don't consider most of the mages "super human" in the way you may be. They have magic abilities, but does that grant them super endurance? Should it? I can understand for characters that are elemental based that they are resistant or immune to the type of element they utilize. That's fine. Characters that use a physical magic like Elfman, I can see being more durable. But a lot of these mages are just normal humans to me. That there's no difference between them or regular humans other than they picked up spell casting. I can't even really say that the Dragon Slayers are actually different than normal humans. I think some people might be thinking that the world is full of super human characters because we pretty much never see regular people doing anything on their own. It's be like watching X-Men but never seeing non-mutated humans.
There's no distinction between having magic powers and being really strong or durable. A regular human can train and be just as strong as a mage. A mage who has magic powers does not get super strong or durable just because they can use magic.
Gildartz punched through a mountain and him falling down destroyed a village. Clearly he's just human
Natsu got shot in the mouth in an early arc and didn't die clearly he's just a regular human.
Gray got his entire body set on fire and came out just fineAfter chapter 1 with Natsu swinging around the mast of a ship I didn't really think "oh hey clearly I need to view these characters as fragile humans". So yeah when someone seriously decides to argue why Arcadios is just being burned by lava instead of melting outright I don't think it warrants a response other that you're reading a manga about superhuman characters.
-
RE: Onepunch-Man (redrawn version)
Yeah Saitama has the serious face like on the volume cover and then he has the simple design.
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
I'll reiterate the most pointless thing to complain about in a manga full of superhuman characters is someone not being melted by lava. That's like asking why Zoro has never cut people apart in One Piece
No amount of reasoning is gonna make that a thing worthy of concern -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
@Fire Fist:
The only thing I can think of is that Arcadios uses some kind of hardening magic, though only something like a Diamond could survive the extreme temperatures of Lava. Steel can resist lower temperature lava, though, and titanium can withstand it.
This doesn't even need that deep an explanation
Obviously regular non mages in fairy tail can be just as strong as mages since the few people Natsu fought in the beginning were just regular humans and not even knight's like arcadios. I mean Gray has been set on fire multiple times and yet no one balks at how its possible he survived.
Its a manga -
RE: Onepunch-Man (redrawn version)
So I just read all the chapters in one go
This manga is hilarious and I love the anime style that the panels give off
Is this weekly? -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Its supposed to be a pun because Paper in japan sounds like kami or some derivative which also means god
She's not a godslayer -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
This guy is seriously the best character Mashima has created -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Now everyone get's a fight this arc….........
This whole arc reeks of too much stuff going on now -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Don't forget Luffy getting tied up by ropes on amazon lilly

RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Well Elfman is no longer in the tournament so that should clue you on something

RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
So Sabertooth is totally cool with Gemma getting killed huh?
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
I can't remember Rave too well but I know time travel happened but it was like a flashback or something and then Haru and Ellie had to be guarded or whatever….....IDK I just skimmed through that part of the manga
-
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Well Dragon Ball actually started out as a fairly obvious gag centric manga with an action centerpiece
I don't think its wrong to not take it seriously when its fun like that
Fairy Tail is a comedy manga that tries to take itself too seriously
Not the same thing -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Yeah and his logic is sound
If you go into the past and kill zeref then the future is going to be radically altered to a degree that is unknown
There's a blind hope that everything will turn out alright when you have time travel plots that go that far back -
RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
Generally speaking, doesn't it take at least a couple of weeks (if not a month) from the time when a chapter is made to the time that it is released in its magazine? I don't think he would have known about the Naruto chapter when he drew this.
Jump rankings are about 7 weeks behind so the mangaka's are usually about 6-7 weeks ahead when any chapter comes out. I don't know if this is the standard for every other magazine but its impossible to lineup something like that within that timeframe.
