I'm still alive, and I've read some stuff and haven't read others. I started teaching recently and it's consumed a lot of my energy lol. I've been keeping up with Hakutaku. Has keeper potential for me at the moment. I finally read the last couple chapters of Dragon Ball Super. Beast Form is kind of an obnoxious design, but it was really cool and fun and surprisingly fresh to see Gohan spar with Goku, Vegeta, Broly, Goten, and Trunks. I assume we're probably only gonna get like one more arc with Black Frieza, but I'd love if they squeezed in one more that focused on Gohan et Al as the heroes, maybe even giving Vegeta the final victory, before we get the expected final showdown between Goku and Frieza. I guess we'll see. All I know is I hope the manga-only arcs get animated at some point. I've also caught up on Sakamoto Days. I'm curious to see if Shin goes through with killing the prison dude. It's kind of a shame but also such a nice change of pace from the usual "Villain turned Hero" character arc where they become squeaky clean after joining the hero. @dr. b have your been mostly up to date with everything?

Good to hear from you Anelle I've been very very slowly watching Dragon Ball GT for the first time. It's been fun. - Last week

What out-of-season anime have you watched recently?
Anelle replied to Vic Boss's topic in Anime & Manga
I've been doing my first ever rewatch of Wolf's Rain this week. I'd say that's definitely out of season >> The nostalgia has hit me hard with it though. - Earlier

7.) Vampire: The Masquerade - Reckoning of New York 3rd in a series of visual novels that have been pretty good overall, if a bit light on choice. This particular entry exceeded the original, but doesn't quite compare to the 2nd one, I think. Really like the characters and the updated visuals in it but the story left a bit to be desired with the way it was set up. I still really enjoyed it, but was hoping for a bit more after the 2nd game.

Tony Todd dies at age 69 His name might not be one you recognize, but I'm sure you've seen him in a lot of stuff

6.) Werewolf: The Apocalypse - The Book of Hungry Names Bound and determined to at least hit 10 by the end of the year. >_o This is one of the 'interactive novel' style titles that has been getting put out for the World of Darkness games. Despite the simplistic appearance though they're mostly really great. This one especially is hands down the best one I've seen. Probably had to sink a solid 40 hours into it to get through it once, though I'm not the fastest reader. There's so much to it I think I'd be hard pressed to see everything in it even with multiple play throughs and the story was a lot of fun. Vampire: The Masquerade has always been my go-to with WoD stuff, but this one really made me appreciate Werewolf a lot more.

5.) Persona 3: Reload I'd watched the anime for this one previously but never played the original. I really enjoyed 4 and 5 so figured I'd give it a go. I only know a little about the original version, but as far as I can tell, they did a lot of upgrading to it to make it feel more like Persona 5. Overall it was a solid story and interesting characters and I had fun with it for the most part though it did feel like it was dragging on by the end, at least in part because there's too much shit coming out that I want to play and don't have NEARLY enough time for most of it (as is apparent by my abysmally low finished game count this year). Don't have a whole lot else to say about this one. I liked some of the character scenes, but I think I preferred the overall stories for 4 and 5 more.

Also, happy birthday!

Dandadan is total quality. Like flawless. Watched the third episode last night. Still loving it.
-
Hey @Gardenstaff ! Happy belated birthday. Glad you stopped by here. Are things getting weird or weirder ?
-
I was never supposed to live this long...things are getting weird
-
New Beat & Motion today!!! 41.1 Special Illustration New chapter in 14 days! Let down.
-
I caved and started watching DanDaDan because I figured my girlfriend would like it. Looks I'll be roughly keeping up with it going forward. I love the OP. Everything else is incredible as well. Animation is other-wordly.
-
Dandadan is really good. Can’t believe I slept on it for so long! I am also super enjoying the Ranma 1/2 remake. That is all I need to count this as a really good season (I’m still watching Tower of God S2 as well, but that’s almost more out of a sense of duty than for enjoyment )
-
This week's chapters. Lots of good stuff! Spy x Family #106 Sakamoto Days #185 Undead Unluck #226 The Elusive Samurai #176 Kagurabachi #53 Akane-banashi #130

Happy birthday to: Gardenstaff (38) Wishing you all the best! What did you get? What did you do?
-
Nice Kagurabachi gets really good! I have held back on trying any of the new series that debuted in Jump over the last few weeks. Don’t want to make my weekly reading listtoo long. But JJK and Shojo Null finished recently so I guess I have some openings. JJBA Stone Ocean only has about it a dozen chapters until it ends too. Dandadan will definitely be next in my list. Then maybe Hakutaku next. Your description of it sounds good.
-
A little behind on some stuff. Might try to catch up a bit today. But I wanted to shout out one of the newest series Hakutaku. Third chapter dropped today, I really liked the first two chapters. It's about becoming a video game coder. Good art, very interesting characters, and it feels like it has the right level of charm and style as all the best anti-battle shonen. Hard to say if it'll hold up, but it hasn't disappointed yet. I think once I get caught up on the last couple rounds of the usual series, I'm finally gonna move to the second chapter of Kagurabachi and burn through that.
-
I already bought the first two volumes of Dandandan a good while back because I really liked the first couple chapters but didn't want to read on the website all the time. Of course, now there's an anime and the manga is available on the app, but I think I might still try to start by reading my volumes. We'll seez though.
-
I watched the first episode of Dandadan last night. That was something else! It's a winner. It's tempting to start binge reading the manga right away... but I'll try to stick with just the anime until the end of the season, and then really sink my teeth into the manga. I also watched the first episode of Blue Box on the weekend. It wasn't really what I was hoping it would be. Oh well. Might give it another chance later on if I get bored enough. Maybe I'm passing judgement too soon I guess this season I'm only watching Dandadan, Ranma 1/2, and the continuation of Tower of God S2.
-
Hunter x Hunter is back in the weekly rotation!!! I don’t know how long it will last until the next hiatus but I’ll enjoy every chapter all the same! Already hyped for the next one The Elusive Samurai #175 Akane-banashi #129 Undead Unluck #225
-
The first episode of the Ranma1/2 remake was a hoot! Great with by MAPPA. It’s a winner for sure.
