Absolutely agree. Dr Stone is an example of a series that is worse in anime form by multiple degrees. It's unfair to expect animators to beat Boichi.
For me, the big one will always be Full Metal Alchemist. Because even when a studio gets to go back and give it a second shot, it's still inferior to the original. You've gotta go all out or have a pretty sketchy looking source material (or both, like Demon Slayer or to a lesser extent JJK) to pass it.

X of Sword is a weird ass book.
They spent a bunch of issues showing us how each member gets their sword, showing us the stakes for not only the world but for each Mutant. We're told that dying in Otherword means that they can't be brought back and that they'll be fighting damn near gods. Shit is dramatic as hell!l

Then the actual constant starts and it becomes silly as hell. The swords aren't used for the most part, most of the constants have nothing to do with fighting, hell, there's a page where each panel shows an entire constant. Right now the X-Men are losing by about 9 points and not one person has brought up the fact that it looks like they're gonna lose, which means the end of the world. Not just that but mofo are dropping quips.

Crazy ass tonal shift.
Yea I was kinda disappointed with the tonal shift. Like X of Swords was fun for sure. But the first half and all the lead up to the actual tournament was so much more interesting than the actual tourney, until like the last 2 issues lol.

I dunno. I think like every time people talk about X events, they always talk about how the stakes keep increasing. Which im sure the writers too into account and tried to course correct by deceiving expectations or whatever lol. But X of Swords was so cool, even without the massive stakes. At least until they switched the tone.

The Hellfire Gala is where I expect that sort of tonal shift. I wish they had just saved it for that.

Otto just keeps getting better and better with these.
How is Otto not on a Birds book with Simone but they let Palmiotti and Conner do one. How. Just silly.
Well, Conner and Palmiotti are co-creators of Harley Quinn, you know. I don't know if Otto is as big a name yet.
The Easter bunny is here


I really do wonder how much time you spend diving in comic artist social media accounts.
Okay, now there's an open invite in the manga thread. I declined taking over the manga OT because I didn't want to push Messi's and my fight for comic dominion into all-out war. But actually, I get stressed too easily and don't want to spend more time online.
Too much work for zero pay. No thanks.
Hey, so Aurica asked this morning what the deal was with Brandon Graham. So I went searching for source information and discovered that it appears Graham's lawyer very recently has been threatening lawsuits against websites that were reporting on the allegations against him. Most articles have been taken down, as has the original accusation. As such, this is a post for some of that information, including the original accusation.

BRANDON GRAHAM IS AN ABUSIVE ASSHOLE (aka I Owe You Nothing)

I thought I'd make a fun video, just a cute, fun video comic about Brandon Graham and his "legacy" on some scrap paper I had lying around C: Music is “I Owe You Nothing” by Seinaba Sey! I'm...
Yeah, I remember when the Brandon Graham thing first came out. He's what they call in the trans community "a chaser." Fuck his lawyers and fuck him too.
I'm not quite caught up, have they said if its on hiatus or something?
Mangaka probably just skipping weeks here and there so they don't die. Kaiju No.8 does this frequently as well.
A monthly manga thread akin to what Messi does for us would be really cool. I think it's structured really well to keep things fresh, focused on what's new.
Messi has secretly wanted to take over that thread for ages.


Might need to rethink Donny Cates lol

Eddie Brock has risen. 😂

Like, I enjoyed X of Swords, but it got way more goofy .

I know you're partially joking, but... personally, I often prefer manga to their anime adaptations. The meticulous labor that goes into the art can rarely be replicated. Good luck seeing an anime for these look anywhere as good


Weekly Shonen Jump series often benefit the most from anime adaptations, because not everyone can draw action that's well conveyed and smooth (Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen are two such recent series that I think are better as anime than manga).


Launchpad is my first choice <3
Oh I was joking. I made the same joke about comics. I know anime fucks shit up, but I like anime.

The TV shows? Cloak and Dagger is damn great, and Runaways isn't that bad. The first season and a half is pretty good, then season 2 stumbles and doesn't really recover. S3 is pretty decent.
if I never see a record store metaphor again, it'll be too soon.

I was watching the Inception style episode yesterday and I felt myself getting older.

Rumaways is cool though, ngl.

Notice how Aurica decided to throw shade on Horikoshi, Boichi, Furudate, Asano and Murata.... And we are supposed to respect his opinions?

I had an old woman come up to me yesterday and ask if we have any Demon Slayer collectibles. I faintly remembered it being an anime, but I wasn't sure.

Anyway, we didn't have any.

I didn't know the creator of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid had a new series. It sounds good. Comes out in June.

STL185569.jpg


There's demon-slaying action galore in this stylish update to a Japanese folktale from the creator of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid! The rambunctious, teenage Princess Saltherine is fed up with being trapped behind high walls and engineers an escape. But this world is full of monsters both human and otherwise, and it could be Sally herself is one of them! Saltherine, princess of the Kingdom of Aldarake, dreams of traveling the world, a dangerous dream in a land where monsters roam the countryside! A chance meeting with a wanderer gives her hope that she might still find excitement in her life. But then she discovers the wanderer's true identity: Momotaro the Peach Boy, demon-slayer of legend! Though terrified by his bloody profession, Sally feels driven to follow Momotaro and learn more. But is this curiosity, or a magical connection that goes deeper than either of them realize...?

I think Murata is incredible. Eyeshield 21 is one of my favorite manga. Asano also does some of my all-timers. The quote I pulled was from a thread about lesser-known, phenomenal artists, so I hadn't posted about them, Kentarou Miura, Junji Ito, Moto Hagio, Ryoichi Ikegami, Hiromu Arakawa, Naoki Urasawa, Hirohiko Araki, Hiroaki Samura, Katsuhiro Otomo, Osamu Tezuka, Tsutomu Nihei, Takehiko Inoue, Akiko Higashimura, or any of my other famous favorites.

Been meaning to check this series out. Heard good things.

It is Another Shonen Series with two hooks:

- The protagonist turns into a monster to fight.

- The protagonist is 32 and that inherently creates a change in context even though he is the exact same character as any other Shonen hero.

Its the same with a lot of JRPGs. You never see older main characters in Persona and the like. 17, 18, maybe. Theres always that one older dude that rolls with the party, but the actual main character is usually a teen. Persona 2 EP being the outlier.

Started reading classic TNMT, really good comics, did not expect it to be so engaging early on.

Just two friends throwing a bunch of ideas in the wall and having fun. Love it.
