Chainsaw Man 102
-
Not sure if anyone here watches/likes/hates SuperEyepatchWolf, but usually like watching his State of Shonen Jump videos. That was actually what got me to check out Dr. Stone and I've been reading manga more frequently since. Watching through it, I feel like @dr. b will relate to a lot of what's talked about in the first half having been through a bulk of the new series that debuted and passed over the last year. I also feel like his description of PPPPPP is the same way we were reacting to it along the way. Speaking of which, new chapter was pretty cool, but I always end up feeling like I want/need more. Can someone just make an anime already?
-
I did end up reading Beat & Motion: Holy shit, and Chainsaw Man:
-
Ichinose Family #43-45
-
Nah, I agree on PPPPPP. Before, even when I didn't know exactly what was going on, there was a charm that made it still interesting. But between having no Lucky and this kind of meandering focus on the other septuplets, it's just not grabbing me the same. And normally after 3 or so chapters, I understand what's happening and it rings me back in, but not for like 6 now.
-
Yeah, I had the same problem. Like I said, though, I think it sort of works with the story/characterization It definitely made it harder to get attached to at first.
-
Chainsaw Man didn't have anything too remarkable this chapter, but I was vibin'
-
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
-
Checked out Beat & Motion. Seems like it could be a good one.
-
Still catching up on some things, but I just finished up to he most recent Beat & Motion Akane-banashi has been wonderful. Seems like a strong moment of self discovery, but I'm really hoping she gets the victory. She deserves it. Also still been liking Ichinose Family, but I feel the execution of the last 2 chapters was a bit rushed/sloppy, so it definitely made for a narrative dissonance with where they expect us to be emotionally. I'm still into the mystery surrounding his parents and what they do/don't know/what happened with the accident. I'm also super hype for what come next in Sakamoto Days. Also, that last Chainsaw Man chapter? That shit was wild and was probably one of the best chapters they've had in a while. Great work. Feels like the anime could really rock with that part.
-
Yeah, that was one thing that was nice about binging for the catch-up. Things made more sense because you could piece it all together over 3-5 chapters lol Really liked the fight with Kanaguri in Sakamoto Days. Class stuff. Ichinose's is still intriguing, but man, it does so much setup sometimes that I feel I'm left waiting for something to happen after certain chapters. Like it feels like NOTHING happened this week. Akane-banashi 45 I liked the last two chapters of Elusive Samurai
-
New Kaiju No. 8 today!
-
Still gotta catch up on some of the rest from both this and last week, but I really liked Tenmaku Cinema:
-
Akane-banashi #73 Haven't checked out Shojo Null yet, but it's on my list. Along with Wild Strawberry.
-
The art has this old school vibe to it, and the motion is drawn really well. I dig the protagonist, too. Typical "shonen boy who has extraordinary talent" type plot, but handled in an engaging way.
-
Chapter 84 picks up where the next season should start. Chapter 83 ends exactly where Stone Wars ended.
-
Oh, I did read that! I loved it. Also, new Chainsaw Man has me hyped
-
I get the feeling Hunter's Guild is in it's way out. We're getting a lot of exposition that feels like mid-series revelations at best, if not straight up endgame. And every time a manga has suddenly ramped up and seemed to jump ahead with no real predication, it's because it wasn't too successful and is just rushing to the end. Same thing happened with Zipman(which was pretty lame by Ch. 4 tbh).
-
Yeah, I don't need every chapter to be advancing a plot, but before it just felt like it had a lot of heart and super hilarious moments in the every day stuff. I think part of it is there have been a lot of shorter chapters in the last couple months so there's been less time to have the more meaningful slice of life chapters where it feels like there's both character development alongside the gags? I think that might be it. Until these last two main chapters(not counting the extra short side ones), it feels like there hasn't been that character development side as much? Or maybe it's also just because there have been so many break weeks that the flow makes every chapter hit weaker. I have faith it'll find something to dig into eventually, but we'll see
-
Have you read Protect Me, Shugomaru? I gave the first couple chapters a shot even though I wasn't immediately enamored, but it's actually a pretty fun little gag manga. I wouldn't necessarily go out of your way to read it if you're not that interested, but I guess I'm at the point now where I've read enough to where I feel like I have to follow. Plus, it started getting a tad more interesting. The premise was a bit tiresome up that point.
-
God I gotta do so much catching up. I've been deep in the wrestling train for a month or so and then I was on a backup phone for like 3 weeks that I didn't have the SJ app on, but I got my new phone now, so no excuses. Just wanted say I'm alive lol I actually was caught up with Sakamoto, Undead Unlucky, and Spy x Family for a while but I'm not sure how far behind I am. I'm glad you've been enjoying Undead Unluck, though! I really enjoy the emotional content of everything after the loop starts over and we see Fuuko fully grow into herself and fight to give everyone a tragedy-less life. Also awesome to see you get into Kaiju No. 8. It's been a bit of a sleeper hit for me and has been a blast to read. I have yet to start the anime because the animation seemed a bit iffy in comparison to the manga, but I'll have to start that soon.
-
That was a really enjoyable spin-off. There were a lot of theories when it first came out that Rei was Why-man or somehow connected to it, and that was a pretty fun ride until people started pointing out the inconsistencies with the theory. But the timing was coincidental enough that it made people wonder. I think it'll make a good filler episode or two, or even a nice between season special or something like that. Have you tried out Sakamoto Days at all, by the way?
-
Oh man, enjoy the fucking ride. I had one little brief run of fatigue when I caught up to current about halfway through, bit it hooked me right back in once I picked it up again. Really is a standout.
-
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.
-
Sakamoto Days #47 was awesome. Really cool plot point underneath and some incredible action panels. Yet again recommending for anyone who hasn't started reading this yet.
