RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
@Kaizou:
Why? It is much better Roggy.
I preferred the first three chapters of Roggy to the first three chapters of UBS.
I'm not Japanese though so I don't know how the chapters after that have went. -
RE: Late Night Talk Shows
@TLC:
The John Oliver show this week was really, really good. His interview with Snowden was masterful.
I didn't see how anyone could be disappointed with this until I went on reddit and that was all because they thought Edward Snowden was a national hero who should have been allowed to speak the entire time, not get grilled, and that Oliver shouldn't have joked around because apparently they forgot this was a comedy show and wanted it to be straight news.

RE: Better Call Saul
@AfroPower:
Chuck is a big sonofab*tch. I guess he was also responsible for firing Saul before.
He didn't hire him not fire him and it was justified.
The unjustified part was how he went about it. -
RE: Better Call Saul
I've been in defend Chuck overload.
Not that he wasn't doing wrong because he shouldn't have been as sneaky and strung him along but people forget that Saul regularly reverts to his slipping ways and that before this Chuck had given him many chances, let him off the hook, and has been wronged and humiliated by him. -
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
@Kaizou:
Well, I'm not sure abut whether it'll do good or not. But, Roggy isn't really good as I hoped.
Oh well I hope it does fine.
Even if it's not that great at the moment I'd want to see the mangaka improve with it solely because I don't want to be done with Roggy's character. -
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
@Kaizou:
Yes, I did read other chapters.
The ones after Jump Start ended.
Do you think it's doing fine? -
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
I was hoping for Cyborg Roggy.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
@Kaizou:
Well, it can change into more suitable for Jump, but it'll ruin the concept for one shot which is already good. I think it would be more suitable for seinen magazine.
Have you got to read the other chapters of Cyborg Right?
How's it going? -
RE: Better Call Saul
My favorite gag is when the waitress asked if they want more coffe, Saul said no, the wife said no, the husband puts up his coffee cup and the waitress had already walked away.
They improvised that.

RE: Chapter 781: "Long-Cherished Desire"
I enjoyed the chapter despite all the questionable events that transpired. Yes, Gamma Knife in fact didn't do what it should have done because Yes, Doflamingo's strings do more than your usual strings to the point of being hax. And yes, Law keeps on doing hard-to-believe-stuff. Does this make me less excited for the arc's climax in the form of an awesome fight between two very strong individuals? - No. Luffy hasn't gone serious in quite a while, and stopping a downward kick by just putting your foot in its way + that stare? This fight better last until both of them are completely worn out and we have witnessed the better part of their moves, if not some new moves. This should be a real deathmatch!
Oda will make things work for the remaining cast in some way, even though things have gotten chaotic with so many people around.
And who cares about Trebol? The guy practically has no personality anyways, besidens tending to come too close to people. Either Luffy will send him flying or someone else will.
I care about Trebol.
One of my favorites. -
RE: Chapter 781: "Long-Cherished Desire"
I hope Trebol does nothing.
A lot people don't like him for his character now (He's one of my favorites) so I would hate to see all these people I see shitting on him magically flip and start singing his praises when they don't actually appreciate his character.
Kinda how I feel about Sanji haters. -
RE: Chapter 781: "Long-Cherished Desire"
The pacing of the arc just doesn't affect my enjoyment of the current chapter.
I can understand why it does for people but it's never made me say that "this chapter doesn't have as much impact on me anymore". -
RE: My Hero Academia - Gomu Gomu no Gentle Fist
I feel weird for not doubting for a second that Ochako can win like most people.
-
RE: What Are You Listening To Right Now ? [V2]
Listening to "To Pimp a Butterfly" currently!
King Kunta didn't hit me when it leaked but listening to it over the course of the album elevated it. Goes hard.
How are you liking the album?

I'm really enjoying it.
Definitely my new favorite Kendrick album.
He can really do no wrong (at this point let's see if he can go for a three peat).
I really like that he was okay branching out even more and didn't sell out (not that I thought he would) and that he keeps thinking of new creative ways to do things. I've seen people complain about it not having any bangers but it does (like the amazing Alright) but it's different.
I'm so happy it's getting the acclaim and push it deserves.
I may not agree with some of his ideals like the religion pushing he does but he makes it listenable and relatable so you can get the message behind it even if you don't buy into the supernatural aspect like with Jesus Walks from Kanye.
Also I've always hated the words boo boo and I even talked about that two weeks ago but he's made me like saying it so that's an accomplishment. -
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
While I hope I'm wrong, there has been no mention of a vote to directly for a manga to be picked (like what happened with Hi-fi Cluster). Now maybe the weekly survey will be used instead and a good news is coming.
But since there has been no announcement this time, I won't hold much hope that it will happen.Even so isn't UBS the last of the Jump Start series?
So in theory wouldn't we have to wait until after this issue that came out today for them to even start choosing the one they'll keep?
I think you're unnecessarily preemptively worrying. -
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
So it seems that ESJ won't pick any new title this time unfortunately.
I should have guessed it could happen since they picked so many manga lately and they need room for Boruto and HunterXHunter whenever it resumes (crossing fingers).
Now I'll just be hoping that Kagamigami is well received in Japan and that Substitute scans will be able to catch up soon.There's supposed to be a vote for it right?
-
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
Roggy needs to introduce some backgrounds and settings, they are as barren as Kubo's and Rumiko's. And there hasn't really been anything to the AuGs yet. It hasn't been as compelling as Kagamaigami.
In your opinion.
-
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
Because Clover is garbage and Roggy isn't.
And the editors place a series in the TOC depending on how long they think it's going to last, right (or at least how well they think it'll do; hence BnHA and AssClass being at or near the top from the very beginning)? From what I can see, it looks like they think Clover is going to do better than Roggy.
Man I really want to see Cyborg Roggy succeed.
I don't want to be done with Roggy's character. -
RE: Next Strawhat Crewmate (Vol. 6)
@uniaka:
He's too much of a DD fanboy to turn into luffy's fanboy.
16 characters of he already is.
-
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
Has anyone read the new Roggy chapter?
How was it?
I can't read it till later. -
RE: Chapter 779: "Final Fight"
Fantastic to see that clown Bellamy knocked out. Good riddance. To bad he didnt get completely killed.
Overall a decent chapter.
He'll be back don't worry.
I can't wait. -
RE: Chapter 779: "Final Fight"
@Cyan:
Binami's character arc is fucking amazing.
I'm glad that some people appreciate it.
I'm interested in where the Dachshund goes from here, maybe he'll be allowed to redeem himself by working under the new Riku regime after the arc or will go off on his own.
What I'm really interested in still is how he lost his crew and what happened to him on Skypiea. Maybe it will come out during a conversation with Luffy after the battle because I'm sure they will have one.
And I want to see him meet Zoro. -
RE: Chapter 779: "Final Fight"
Really enjoyed this chapter especially the Bellamy stuff but I don't understand why people are saying this is out of character for Luffy.
He has punched people who he's considered friends in the past but in his mind they weren't near death.
And a large part of the emotion he was feeling just now wasn't just wasn't at Bellamy but at Doflamingo's actions in relation to him if that makes Luffy's reaction more believable to you.
Either way can't wait to see more of where his character arc goes. -
RE: Chapter 778: Tactics No.5
Oh wait nevermind his country was poor and they didn't even pay taxes or have a standing army.
He's not good at all. -
RE: Chapter 778: Tactics No.5
It'd certainly move the bloody plot along.
I'm starting to feel almost sorry for the people of Dressrosa, almost because they seem to have the collected IQ of a box of hammers with learning disabilities.
They're just coming out of a decade of misrule so insidious they didn't really know it was going on.
Their previous King is coming out of his own decade long depressive funk and appears to have suddenly embraced pacifism to the point of catatonia.
His daughter is dead and son-in-law was villified for doing something effective and killing an enemy. This has left him so unstable he doesn't think he can touch his daughter without gloves because he's dirty and might break into murder at any second.
His grand-daughter… Rebecca. Oh dear, Rebecca. An avowed pacifist who refuses to ever hurt an enemy or do anything that might be useful because she has daddy-issues involving a one-legged animated toy. And anyway, the population spent the last few years howling for her to be killed in front of them.Among the royals left you have a femme-fatale that openly collaberated with the usurping regime and a less than 4 inch tall mythical being who so far we haven't seen not crying and who's main attribute appears to be hair.
Democracy is always a possibility but given the evidence they look like they'd take to it like a dog takes to flying a helicopter; badly and not for long*.
(*stolen from A Touch Of Cloth tv show. Funny, you should watch)Frankly a WG imposed military dictator is looking like their best shot. Just not the blind guy who accidently drops meteors on the peiple he's supposedly protecting.
What could King Riku have done instead of what happened?
Seriously I don't see his other options and wasn't the country going fine before Doflamingo came in? -
RE: Chapter 778: Tactics No.5
I think the same thing.
Also Nakama timing would be great to be hinted now. Bellamy doesnt have to join core crew but he will surely become one of Luffys special nakamas.
He just doesn't have the level of set up needed for a new nakama.
No one on this island does really.
Though I will say that Bellamy is the most likely out of any one here imo but by a tiny margin. -
RE: Chapter 778: Tactics No.5
@Shobu:
16 chars of N-A-K-A-M-A.
I'd love that but at this point I believe it's most definitely not happening.
99.9 percent sure about that. -
RE: Chapter 778: Tactics No.5
We need as much Bellamy as possible.
Take the whole chapter please Bellamy.
The fans all want this. -
RE: Better Call Saul
This episode and the last one are definitely the best.
Loving this show. -
RE: Next Strawhat Crewmate (Vol. 6)
Whatever happens with him I would like to see a lot of him but that obviously won't be happening so ally who'll come back way later down the line.
-
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
Got back home and read Cyborg Roggy.
I thought the chapter was pretty good and easy to understand.
I'm really liking Roggy and the coward character is nice as well.
Unlike most series where the coward character would have had a big moment where they show that they're really brave deep down or something he has been pretty complacent which is a nice change. -
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
What did you think of the new Cyborg Roggy chapter?
I won't be able to read it until later today. -
RE: Chapter 778: Tactics No.5
I'm hoping that the next chapter is the Bellamy one.
But I'm worried if it is that it won't be that great.
First time this arc that i'm letting hype get to me. -
RE: My Hero Academia - Gomu Gomu no Gentle Fist
It really is a shame that Uraraka has to go against Bakugou straight from the off, would have liked to see her do more.
It's also interesting that Midoriya and Todoroki will face-off so soon, provided both go through. Might be a Midoriya - Bakugou finall after all. Cannot wait to see the outcome!
You're assuming that she's gonna lose and not show her skill against him.
-
RE: Next Strawhat Crewmate (Vol. 6)
I'm 99% sure no one is joining and if I had to choose who was the most likely I'd say Bellamy but I'm 99.9% sure he won't.
Especially Bartolomeo, he has zilch chance of joining unless something massive changes. -

RE: My Hero Academia - Gomu Gomu no Gentle Fist
! I'm rooting for Bakugou to become the top hero and I want him to win the tournament but before that I was rooting for Ochako and shes my favorite female character so I'm conflicted
-
RE: Next Strawhat Crewmate (Vol. 6)
@.access:
While I don't get Gin love.
Gin is one of the best characters in the series.
-
RE: Next Strawhat Crewmate (Vol. 6)
Actually, that's a pretty good mirror you've come across there. I wonder why one is seemingly despised here whilst the other is surprisingly popular still?
Both have served Pirate Captains that think nothing of sacrificing them when the time comes to it, both have put pride as a pirate under said dirtbag's command before their lives and neither have been shown as really great guys, lest we forget Gin tortured people under Krieg's command…
...I still don't get the Bellamy hate on AP, I guess.
They're both very different people and while their are some similarities in their arcs there are enough differences to have different opinions on both of them.
Also Bellamy get's much less hate here than I see on some other places. -
RE: Random News Article Discussion II
@Monkey:
You don't know Catholics very well do you.
As in?'
I have a few Catholic friends and they've gone over stuff about the church with me when I wanted to compare it to my Baptist upbringing and read some stuff online but you're right not really.
Where did I go wrong? -
RE: Random News Article Discussion II
@Mr.:
If we're going to criticize the pope, why not do it for the fact that he literally compared transgender people to nuclear weapons? I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned this.
The pope is still the pope no matter how liberal people want him to be.
You can only move the goal posts so much. -
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
I enjoyed Cyborg Roggy and hope it does well.
It wasn't amazing or anything but I liked the characters and dialogue plus it was pretty funny imo.
Hope it gets better and lasts and if not I'd like to see more from this mangaka in the future.
Roggy is pretty based. -
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
Roggy seems like Dio with Gintoki's morals. lol
what did you think of the chapter as a whole?
-
RE: My Hero Academia - Gomu Gomu no Gentle Fist
Todoroki backstory was sad, It must be hard to have two a**holes parents.
She's a bad parent and was wrong but I wouldn't say she's an asshole.
-
RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
I really want to see this Cyborg Roggy.
Hope it's good. -
RE: Chapter 777: Zoro Vs. Pica
When this fight first started off I wasn't that interested but the longer it got drawn out unlike most people I became more antsy for Zoro to beat him and excited for how he would do it.
-
RE: Chapter 777: Zoro Vs. Pica
Why are people complaining about an arc going on too long and dragging and telling Oda to speed it up when that's exactly what hes been doing?
