He's still a threat, but
Yeah, the Worm plot sucks and is just really stupid in general. I still enjoy Omega a good bit, but the tournament has been a let down.
It doesn't help that most of the strongest guys in Purgatory were just there to job and make Team Kengan look good. Jurota, Toa, and Lu Tian were completely wasted, and then you have Terashi and Yumigahara being clowns who couldn't even put up a fight.
I liked Carlos, Falcon, and Liu, though. Wouldn't mind seeing more of them.

welp, it seems that after a really good first half with sakamoto, elusive samurai and blue box the second half has been terrible for new entries
Just look at how many series in the last ten years didn't make it to 20 chapters
I'm utterly baffled at how little of popular are. Do WSJ not care about "pass to the torch" thing for the popularity next to Big 3s anymore?
Boy's Trash 68
This shit is hilarious
Kaguya 238
I almost packed and sent to Fed Ex lol.
I guess it is finally happening.

dont really understand your question
especially in the context that, the recent longer series that exploded are already ended (Demon slayer only got big when it was already in the final arc), Chainsaw Man, and Jujutsu Kaisen may be in the sunsetting stage as well, HeroAca is concluding...by the time series are getting an anime, meaning a chance to go big, they are already mature and ending. Even if new things like Elusive Samurai gets big, it doesnt really seem like it is something to last real long, especially since AssClass didnt even reach 30volumes.
I actually like several of the Purgatory fighters like Jurota but the entire tournament set up means by the time we actually get to know them the fights over and they're out of the picture for the foreseeable future.
As a prequel start, it was pretty interesting, but the shift to a generic "need to get a license for this specialty title" and then dumping on a ton of new characters and throwing in challenges just.... doesn't work. I really thought where this series would head, is that there would be the master and apprentice, teaching/learning, and travelling the lands and fighting new fairy tale creatures. I didn't get that, and this cops and robbers training is a snooze-fest :/
series would have been immensely better if the first arc was just condensed to three chapters like most series do.
also velou had no personality before the current game of cops, so that was a major problem as well
It used to be extremely readable trash.
I don't know what the hell this is anymore. The amount of insane shit happening in the last 10-15 chapters is enough for at least three years of a daytime soap opera.
Boys trash latest
This must be what substance abuse is like right?
Like I know this is trash and I have better things to read but like a fucked up siren that calls me back

Yeah, the pacing went from too slow to too fast, likely due to the bad reception it got early and the author trying to rush to the "good bits".

It's so weird. 100 chapters in and a bunch of promotions but anime? Nahhhhh!
They could have at least teased that it was being planned, though.
This post reminds me (though it seems it's still not at 100 chapters as I didn't continue reading it)
Where the heck is the Dungeon Meshi anime?
Dungeon Meshi
After the Golden Kingdom is sunk underground by an insane magician, its king emerges, promising all of his treasure to any who defeat the magician, before crumbling to dust. Guilds are spurred on by this promise, traversing the labyrinthine dungeon in search of the magician. Laios, the leader of...

I stopped reading it figuring it would be getting an anime not too long after I started reading it a few years ago lol.
Yeah, shit has gotten even worse than I thought possible. I am curious just what the heck is gonna happen now.
i had a weird thought, but what's a shonen series where the core cast feel more like a group of friends, and what's a series where they feel like coworkers?
was just thinking about naruto, jujutsu kaisen, bleach et al and how a lot of them are like 'we have to hang out now because of magic cirumstance'. obvs a lot of them become friends eventually but like naruto in particular has a kinda coworker vibe almost throughout the entirety of the series (even though everyone is always screaming about nakama)

I hope it will come. Because it's apparently reaching its story climax..
The Dungeon Meshi manga PV by Trigger looked so good but it only made me saltier :(
Fairy Tail and One Piece, although both go further than friends and feel more like a makeshift family
JJK definitely gives off this vibe I won't lie
Those Jujutsu Scrolls in the anime adaptation were very welcome because it gave a much needed levity the series often didn't make much time for due to its fast pacing
I feel like this was pretty clear seeing how the story is going. Hope it goes out with a bang
Like the most fucked up harem, who will Reiji choose to end it all with
The only appropriate chose for Boy's Abyss is a true harem ending ie everyone dies.
not really, wasnt like hinomaru zumou or demon slayer had anime announced by chapter 100, mashle is 20 weeks away from 100 and still nothing.
Yeah was pretty clear. Mixed on there being no more conflict between survivors on Earth.
Someone reminded me that covid pushed a lot of anime projects back, and that anime projects can be planned years in advance. Wouldn't be surprised if it's not until mid 2022 that we start seeing animes announced more regularly again.
Looks like Murata tweeted about circumstances causing a delay. But directed a short in the meantime.
I've liked what we've seen of Neru and Red Hood, but I won't be super bummed if either gets cancelled either. My only concern is that Witch Watch seems to be surviving by the skin of its teeth.
This is the surprise of the year. Glad it's doing so well.
Huh, Kengan Ashura/Omega seems like it might be getting an official release soon.
The translation team who picked it up a few months ago is already shutting down, they're hinting that something's getting announced next week and that's why they're stopping. Could be why the last group stopped too.
I wonder how that's gonna work since Ashura and Omega are like 400 chapters long combined and counting. I figured it would be a Kingdom situation where no one would ever bother picking that up.

considering digital only series have been getting long (never forget ace of diamond, for example, got picked up for digital only release and thats been going on for 10+ years weekly), a digital only pick up of Kengan doesnt seem out of this world.
Eyeshield 21 sorta does both? Like, Senna and Monta feel like friends, and so are a few of the others, but also Hiruma is the terrifying nightmare boss from hell.
Ah thanks for this! Glad it's been acknowledged and that short is great!
But it's not at all complicated....and how can you have 2 halves of an incomplete series that's just starting??
They feel like good friends 100% in One Piece. In fact, it's why I always though Luffy vs Usopp was significantly more powerful than any of the Naruto vs Sasuke fights, because their friendship was that much stronger (also the fact that Luffy didn't appear like he was trying to kill Usopp as he recognized their vast power difference, unlike Naruto and Sasuke not holding back at all, which I always thought was ridiculous)
I meant in terms of all the characters and reveals going on. Hard to keep track of it. And by first half I meant first five chapters, or the first arc.
One Piece for sure
Probably good. Series really fell off for me when it stopped being about village upgrade sim. There was some interesting points past that like when they had the medusa stuff happen but overall I feel like the series mostly tried to escalate the science projects instead of focusing on the small build up and the characters.
In a way my misgivings are similar to how Food Wars squandered itself by focusing on the cooking battles vs the character work. That said at least in Dr Stone the escalation fits a lot better with the general tone of the series so even if it gets super ridiculous it still fits unlike chainsaw cooking in food wars.
according to rumours the author wants to finish the manga first, or doesn't want the pressure of an anime while working on the manga.Where the heck is the Dungeon Meshi anime?

The thing that I find baffling about Red Hood is that even though the beginning was slow, it had interesting components. The cool werewolf designs, the witch girl and the mysterious evil organization, the crazy hunter tools and weapons, the hermit crab tank thing, the stuff with the mayor. Yeah it was slow but they were building out an interesting world. This training arc has just been a snooze. There are so many characters being thrown at you and there's just very little reason to care about them. Why are we watching randoms fight indoors instead of hunting more fairy tale monsters? What happened to the werewolves and cool hunter gizmos? It also doesn't help that Velou doesn't have much of a personality and hasn't been given much of a chance to shine. Hell, the entire last chapter he was locked up while a bunch of people I can't keep straight and have no reason to care about fight indoors and negotiate with each other. Very weird.
Even with the slow pacing I think if there was more of an emphasis on the whole hunting fairy tale monstrosities theme it could have taken off more. It's just boring now. I'm kind of expecting it to go the way of Candy Flurry with the witch girl and werewolf interrupting the end of the training, our heroes fight them off to earn their hunter's license, and then everyone rides off into the sunset.

That's totally fair. Though doesn't change that I want one.
Ideally that means that once it gets one the author will be more involved than normal with the adaption as especially with comedy sometimes jokes need to be changed for timing and working with the original creator can help... though it can also hurt :P
