Anybody else watching DeDeDeDe..? You’re missing out if you’re not! Only three episodes left.

I did end up reading Beat & Motion: Holy shit, and Chainsaw Man:
-
I had a day where I said fuck work and was reading at my desk, and then I literally just spent the rest of the evening at home reading. I think I started that day halfway through the first tournament and just found myself wanting to blitz through the Red Ribbon arc. The time flew. Like you said, even though a lot of the chapters are only 13 pages, between the dialogue and how drawn in to the individual panels I am, it feels like a lot is going on. It's pretty awesome to see how great at depicting motion in his art, and I just don't think you can fully appreciate that watching the anime, so I'm glad I went this route.
-
Dang that’s fast. I started reading Dragon Ball a couple weeks ago but haven’t had much time to really binge it. I’m ~30 chapters in. It’s awesome. I love how short-but-not-short the chapters are. Toriyama could pack a lot into 13 pages!
-
I'm caught up on all the Sunday manga, though don't have any specific comments that don't just amount to "Yeah, this is still good" for pretty much all of them, so will hold off until at least next Sunday. Gotta read the most recent of the ones you just mentioned, but that's on hold because I've been binging Dragon Ball the last week and am now 14 chapters away from finishing that.

Shojo Null #33 (final chapter) - There were some beautifully drawn panels in this chapter. I was satisfied with the ending. Not too many loose ends. Chainsaw Man #176 Choujin X #55 - This series has been consistently really good (IMHO) for quite a while now. There is so much detail in the story and I love the style. The current arc feels like it will ultimately be the last, but it's going to be pretty long and drawn out. Beat & Motion #39 Got the new Show-ha Shoten! queued up for later today to read.

Sucks to see how the M’s have slid in the Wild Card standings. Firing the Manager doesn’t seem to have helped. I don’t think their struggles were Servais’s fault anyhow… if they keep stumbling then somebody in the front office will have to take more accountability. They built the roster that keeps losing.
-
Hey man...it hurts to see Seattle waste this pitching core.
-
Spy x Family #104 was a fun little adventure with Damian and his buddies. I like his butler. Akane-banashi #124 - Master Shiguma’s performance continues to be great. I’m really curious to see how his story ends! Kagurabachi #47 - You might want to check this one out if you haven’t yet. It seems to have some staying power. They’re embarking on what feels like a rather big new arc in this chapter. Sweet colour title pages this week too.

The irony is that when you see Denji going through issues like "I always think with my dick," you know it's like an actual existential crisis for him, not just him being silly. You can tell Fujimoto likes trying to get to the bottom of his characters' true feelings
-
Episode #9 of The Elusive Samurai was absolutely awesome. So much good stuff packed into one episode
-
So tempted to use the jizz smiley to react to that one It's a fun coincidence that you mention facial expressions in Show-ha! Shoten before also commenting on Chainsaw Man. I love the many weird, sad, dejected, wacky, awkward, and just plain messed up faces that Denji makes. That guy wear's his heart (and his stupidity) on his sleeve Just one glance at a panel and you know exactly what is (or isn't) going through his mind. I totally agree that the-thing-that-happened-with-Asa is so perfect for Chainsaw Man. It would be cringey or feel forced almost anywhere else. Not in Chainsaw Man!

Caught up on Show-ha Shoten And Chainsaw Man too!
-
Only one chapter left for Shojo Null. This weeks chapter had a lot packed into like 16 pages. It seems there is a time skip now, then the final chapter somehow will resolve everything..? Or it will be a more open-ended type of ending. I dunno. I’m curious to see how it wraps up.

New Kaiju No. 8 today!
-
With Show-ha Shoten!, all the goings-on in this big competition have been fun to follow. I still struggle to make sense of the comedy that these kids are doing. But that's a cultural difference that I assume is not easy to explain. The translators would have to add so many little notes under the panels, it wouldn't work But outside of not really finding their comedy funny, there are a lot of likeable characters, and the interpersonal relationships between the different comedy groups are interesting. I like a lot of the characters so I don't even know who I want to win anymore. Can't they just all win!?!
-
Chainsaw Man is also on the docket. It is one of the ones I was pretty far behind on, but not quite as bad as some. I'm working on Show-ha Shoten first and then Chainsaw Man will probably follow
-
Thought there was going to be a new chapter of Chainsaw Man yesterday but apparently it doesn't actually come out until next Tuesday. Thanks for nothin' VIZ Are you caught up on Chainsaw Man? It hit a low point for me a couple months back, but the more recent chapters have been more compelling so I'm kind of back on the bandwagon.
-
Yeah that made it look awesome The first couple of episodes were especially good, but I have not noticed a major drop off in animation quality since then. I love the style and colours. It feels just a bit aged, but in a good way.
-
It's my own fault for not completely avoiding social media, but it still sucks. I even tried to cover up most of my Instagram feed to not get spoiled, and the one area my hand wasn't covering had a spoiler for the main event. And yeah, Christian getting a title shot and failing at winning is fine, the Luchasaurus fakeout was just fucking dumb
-
Just watched the first two episodes of Elusive Samurai last night, and they really popped off with the animation, huh?
-
Bummer that they were spoiled for you. I hate when that happens, especially the biggest stories of the show. It's a shame about the Gauntlet because it was so hype up until that point. I'm not even mad about Christian getting a title shot, but the ending just felt completely flat in comparison to everything that happened before it. The Casino Gauntlet match format is an absolute hit, though.
-
I had both of those spoiled for me so I didn't enjoy them as much as I could've. Both were great though, and I can tell if I hadn't had them spoiled I would've loved the hell out of 'em. The only match result I hated was the Casino Gauntlet, they need to fucking pull that face turn for Luchasaurus already.
-
I know the couple wrestling people other than MT don't really post here anymore, and I think for the most part had moved on from AEW, but did anyone catch All In? Thought it was overall an awesome show, and Swerve/Bryan and Storm/Mariah were worth it alone.
