RE: Bakuman
I know the discussion on this has moved on, but having re-read up to Chapter 38 it's-in it's simplest form-the same as 65 except Aoki was 'the bad guy' ("It's all the fault of that heartless bitch!", "His passion for manga is what moves him!")
So Aoki is a 'heartless bitch' because she refused to give into emotional blackmail, stalking, and a guy camping outside her house for at least three days straight? He's lucky she didn't phone the police.I take back everything I said about the guy, makes at lot more sense now

RE: Bakuman
@robbybevard:
You have some valid points, Davy…
Seeing it from that perspective it does make his behavior seem less 'sudden', but there doesn't seem to be much of a transition between 'lovable loser' to 'complete jerk', it just seemed to come out of nowhere to me (perhaps i'll do some re-reading).
Ego is a very good point though, no doubt about that, but i'm guessing at the very worst his behavior was simply a result of him seeing the caricature of himself in Aoki's comic taking it the wrong way and letting his ego step in. http://www.onemanga.com/Bakuman/65/15/
I'm sure he'll realize what an arse he was and try to redeem himself soon.

RE: Bakuman
Can't believe people are accepting the whole THIS IS HIS TRUE CHARACTER, AOKI's SUSPICIONS OF MEN WERE TRUE ALL ALONG thing.
When we first see Nakai he's some thirty-something down-on-his-luck assistant, former mangaka who was unsucessful (showing the reader the 'reality' of trying to get into manga I suppose). He needs a job, hes friendly, a bit naive in expecting his affections to Aoki would be returned, but gives some insight into what it's like for the assistants and is a geniunely likeable guy.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but it wasn't too long ago when guys were berating Aoki for 'dumping' Nakai as an editor for Koogy ('Colorfusical'), and I know she has become much more developed and likelable since, but come on. How you find it so easy to accept the guy who drew in a snowstorm to 'prove himself' (never thought i'd be using that in an arguement) would suddenly do something that stupid?
It's contrived and sloppy, that suddenly when Shujin decides to act Aoki decides he's her last hope for humanity (aww) and on Aoki McFaceHeelTurn decides he's a dick (in the same day, no less).Also, when did we suddenly slip into another genre? http://www.onemanga.com/Bakuman/65/19/
UNEXPECTED UNFAITHFULNESS…!! -
RE: Bakuman
God this chapter felt so contrived
Shujin: Wuh-oh!, Mashiro's getting dragged into this shitstorm aswell, better bail out while I still can-should be fine right? we're just talking casually, right??
Aoki: I'm DEPRESSED and you're only person that understands me, the last bastion of hope in this whole mess
Shujin: FFFFFF
MEANWHILE, IN NAKA'S SUBCONSCIOUS
Nakai: Yeah, this girl is all over me and shit-I knew it wasn't any fault of mine that I messed up on the first relationship!, that bimbo was just crazy….. <seconds later="">WELL WELL, look wo's crawling back!-FUCK YEAH, somehow, someway, I will get those two in the sack HIGH FIVE soon they're gonna have to start callin me N-Bone
^Totally me
Aoki:…..
Restaurant:...
Me:LOLWHUT?
I'm sorry this whole love triangle, that stupid argument, and Nakai turning into Lechy Mcdouche seemingly overnight just irked me.</seconds>

RE: Things That You Would Like to See in the Manga
I'd love to see Coby+Helmeppo becoming actual rivals, I mean so far they've been insta-beaten by Zoro and Luffy and have run around scared senseless this entire war.
More team battles instead of upgrades, it'd be interesting to see (for example) a team of Usopp+Nami+Chopper against a particularly strong foe, each one covering the others' weakness (say Chopper charges into the fray while Nami prepares Clima tact and Usopp gains some distance, then Usopp shoots a smoke bomb down and Chopper retreats, smoke clears and suddenly theres half a dozen images of Chopper, etc)

RE: Fairy Tail
Dude, that's been a staple of anime for fucking EVER.
Claymore is far from the first place to have done it.
Whoa, no need to get so hostile there, I wasn't trying to suggest Claymore was the first to use the trope buddy
I'm just saying that its clichéd i've seen it before, that's just an example of where i've seen it
-
RE: Fairy Tail
Hmm, the 'seemingly-weak-and-clumsy-one'-now where have I seen that before?
uugh
Even the stupid 'arms flailing upwards' is the same.

I assume he's recovering from that fight with Allen after the Noah took over him and all

RE: One Piece 394 [ACSF] [SD] [HD]
You do realize haki means ambition right? It's not some magical word that can't be translated. You do know that right?
"If you're ambition is strong, your haki is strong."
I really wish people would do non weeaboo subs.
Can't we just call it one or the other, because it's getting really annoying, I also thought 'Haki' was a 'manifestation' of 'ambition' not a translation >.<
Lets just say the stronger your ambition is the greater impact it has or something
Also the episode was alot more distressing than it was on print
-
RE: Fairy Tail
or her father is really the ring-leader behind all this!
DUN DUN DUN!!!
also… my predictions for next chapter:
-Lucy strengthens her resolve and gets ready to ride a boat... train.. etc... to go save her dad. She thinks of leaving her friends behind
But is interuppted by!!!!
Natsu, Grey, Erza, and random guild member!!
Grey: Think you're leaving without us?
Lucy: but what about the guild mission?!
Natsu: (yells random shonen friendship crap.)
Erza: Making sure guild members are safe is the mission of all members of Fairy Tail (cheesy smile). Right?That scenario is so cheesy I could actually see it happening. I mean damn, manga is so chock full of cliché's and tropes that it practically writes itself
-
RE: Fairy Tail
Well I always thought his 'betrayl' reveal came a bit too soon, also this sounds pretty feasable-who better to use as a double agent than someone who not only has just joined, but was a former enemy?
-
RE: Katekyo Hitman REBORN! Discussion
Anyone noticed this is getting more gay every week? Dino riding in at the end of the chapter on a white horse…

RE: Naruto Discussion V [Re-Re-Redux]
Balanced, funny review listing up's and downs of the series (Naruto). Though, its a 'first timer' and this guy is still learning. Picks up around the halfway mark;

RE: Chapter 536 "Freezing Hell" Discussion
Awesome chapter, Clay's turned the badassery up to 11 this time(yeah I know, sorry)
I'm with the 'not Iva' group since the 'demonings away' seem to be commonplace so its not much of a strech to imagine that Ivankov could've broken out, make shelter in the woods and formed a small resistance group (like someone suggested earlier)
Maybe the black+white split suit is just resistance 'uniform', and this one guy is Iva's 'general' (just throwing it out there)
iirc Bon made his subordinates practice ballet in costume so…(I'd like to say something about parallels but i'll leave it here) -
RE: Bleach Discussion Part 2
What the hell was that supposed to be anyway?
Yeah, also at a loss of words for this chapter I mean…wha?
-
RE: Bleach Discussion Part 2
If he wants to make any impression he should have chopped Ichigo's head off instead.
Well since Ulq's a sadist I guess he wanted to 'see' a look of despair on his face…or something(as opposed to just lobbing off his head)
-
RE: D. Gray-man Anime Adaptation!
I also don't really expect to see him reaching that level at all considering its a bit late in the game now, and he's probably the youngest exorcist we've seen so far. I think it'd be a good time to get the super strength guy back(terrible with names) considering he's been gone a while.
Though, if it does happen, he'll most likely go away and come back some 30 chapters later(Miranda).
-
RE: Bakuman
I like this chap, but hated that the first female mangaka is the jaded-skeptic type who has to find nicks to pick everywhere-probably to come off as having high standards.
Shes probably just overcompensating because "lololol its a girl riting comics? who left teh pencils in teh kitchen?!"Also I can see why Hattori wants them to beat the colourfusical guy, its a bit 'cheap' him using his fame to get votes rather than his actual talent (atleast, thats the impression i'm getting)
-
RE: Bleach Discussion Part 2
More and more this series is starting to resemble a series of storyboards than a comic-eventually they'll be no dialogue (actually that might be better)
That said, chapter was'nt bad
-
RE: Soul Eater COMING TO TOONAMI FINALLY
! I understand the whole "insanity" concept with the demon and the piano in soul's mind but I just can't explain it in words
I get the 'jist' of it (considering i've seen so many variations of this trope-Ichigo's mask, ninetails, etc), but not so much the details.
Also, having read it again Blackstar seems to get even more badass with each page;
http://www.onemanga.com/Soul_Eater/59/07/
http://www.onemanga.com/Soul_Eater/59/08/I mean the guy just sits thier calmly while everyone's losing thier sanity,
! and this is after he had his final showdown with Mifune, I mean damn
-
RE: Soul Eater COMING TO TOONAMI FINALLY
! I'm still confused about the 'insanity demon' and the piano inside Soul's 'realm'-some times he seems to be aiming to 'take over' at others he's helping, now at the end of this chapter Maka's in the 'insanity dress'?
-
RE: Bleach Discussion Part 2
uugh, what was the point in even having a numbering system if Ichigo ends up fighting the strongest anyway? (I know Ulq's not the penultimate strongest but still)
I sense an asspull coming
P.S:Oh yeah, hey guise i'm bak(not that anyone noticed I was gone but still)

RE: Full Metal Alchemist Discussion
While I do agree with you, I think its a bit unfair to compare it to others at this stage, now that it's in the 'last hurrah' arc and all.
-
RE: Full Metal Alchemist Discussion
! So Sloth's power is super speed, ironically enough. Makes sense since he had to dig that tunnel around the entire country.
! Hm, Kimblee still has his own Philosopher's Stone, doesn't he? I don't think he's down for the count just yet.! I'm guessing the match-ups going to be Kimblee vs Marcoh, the Lion and gorrila guy and Alfonse vs the shadowkid (I'm terrible at names)
! It still feels a bit weird and somewhat cheap that Sloth's power is speed though since he's already got super strengh-now hes a speeding brick (I supposed it's balanced out by lack of control, but still). Also if you consider Envys is shapeshifting and Gluttonys was…well good chapter anyway.
! By the way,Greed is in Ed's group right? -
RE: Full Metal Alchemist Discussion
! After getting bitten in the freakin neck, even if he doesn't die I don't see him getting up soon
-
RE: Fairy Tail
I hope Erza's ability doesn't become some use-all plot device; 'DAMN!, there's no way we can stop Big Bad's razor hail attack!!' 'Pfft, i'll just put on my anti-razor-hail armour, no sweat'
Otherwise, great chapter
-
RE: Bleach Discussion Part 2
Nice find Daeji! ive seen too many of those archetypes/cliché's/themes (whichever suits which) to count
And yeah, theres so much wasted potential with Chad, I thought it would work out as Ichigo being the hero Ishida the rival but joins up against the big bad guy, chad being the shield and orihime being he healer with boobs and maybe one more, reformed guy that joins to make it a '5', (honestly I would'nt have minded it that way, sure its predictable but atleast it would've been better ) but oh well…
-
RE: Bleach Discussion Part 2
Erm, anyone explain how ishida's moving after having his internal organs crushed?
And l-o-fuckin-l at the Arrancar Landmines (seriously, landmines Kubo?)

RE: Hunter x Hunter
@Baby_Naruto:
1.) uh huh >_>.
2.) Your opinion.
3.) I wish for it to do great as well, especially since I only watch the dub, so if the anime fails miserably, I'd be angry.
In my opinion you should stop taking this off-topic
-
RE: Fairy Tail
Uugh, this next fight feels soo staged just to have Natsu settle things (with Gergun leaving for no apparent reason and Erza getting fried). I was almost expecting to see a 'top tier' fight for a second there…oh well. Did Mistald have a real reason to leave other than to protect his identity?

I thought that would've lasted atleast 2 chapters, what with that guy on the germany side with his 'EIDETIC MEMORY'(gimmick) which was mentioned so many freakin times…pfft

RE: Hunter x Hunter
@Thousand:
2. But that's you. No one is telling you to start buying them legally. He just chooses to do so and you have no right to criticize him for it(I'm assuming you are a him;) )
3. Please don't bring megalomaniac dictators into this. And yes he can do that because it IS an opinion, his opinion which should be respected as much as he respects yours.
2. Hang on a second here, i'm not criticizing him for how he buys his stuff, I just wonder why hes here since-whatever you think of them-most people here read scans. I can understand reading up to date stuff, then buying volumes after to 'support the author' and all that, but his 'method' sounds retarded
3. Haha, I thought as long as it was an opinyjin and shit it was bulletproof, contradicting yourself here?
Oh well this little duel is getting pointless, so this is my last post for the time being. So if you really feel the need to get the last word in i'm just telling you I dont care anymore.
-
RE: Hunter x Hunter
1. Have you read this guys introductory post?
2. If the English distributors/dubbers actually released up to date stuff (not directly behind Japan of course, but not several freakin' volumes behind) then i'd care enough to buy it.
3. Some people believed Hitler was right, these people should be lined up and shot. Besisdes, it's not a matter of whose opinion is right or wrong, but you can't just say 'well tat's uur opinyjun' every time someone argues against yours. -
RE: Hunter x Hunter
Sorry but you can't use 'that's your opinion' as a shield, your stance is retarded-end of
Can we let this thread rest now?
-
RE: Fairy Tail
Yeah thats confusing me aswell, I think its supposed to be some 'official title' and 'Mistgun' is just a shortening or nickname.
But why "another"?
Anyway, fuckawesome chapter
-
RE: Most useful anime characters
I would say either Serpico from Berserk though that's mainly by comparison. On the other hand he managed to match Guts through his speed and planning at times (fighting on a clifface, in a hall of pillars etc)
Or (though he's alreay been mentioned) Usopp.
-
RE: Hunter x Hunter
So I got the Viz Vol. 1 Boxset and the english voices are pretty good, Leorio's my fav. ATM and Hisoka sounds as gay as his Japanese VA :D

If that much happens for not doing homework I wonder what kind of reward you get for doing it instead.
