Okarin tutturu~! The Japanese Anime & Manga Thread II [POST YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS]

[Balladeer]

And yet sadly unsurprising.

strawberry floating hell.

Really getting into Jujutsu Kaisen now, the fight sequences are great, the art style is excellent (the 'curses' look suitably creepy) and surpisingly for this kind of anime, the female characters aren't just there as eye candy/damsels in distress.

[Balladeer]

Nobody knows who the manga artist is. Suspicions abound for that reason that it's a woman, which is a sad indictment of men.

Reading Fable (which is about a hitman who's been ordered to lay low for a year in another city with his handler) on MangaDex. It's hilarious. And MangaDex is a really cool platform to use. (I thought I'd have to eke out each English translation manually, but instead it automatically loads 'em up for you as you move on to the next chapter. Neat!)

Oh, Jackal. You cad.

Last few chapters of One Punch Man have been fantastic.

153:

The switch from the manga being in black and white to colour when "God" deals with Homeless Emperor is such a clever touch.

It'll be mistaken as something King did so fast to Homeless Emperor that no one else could see how quickly he did it.

Feels like I've been waiting ages for the latest webcomic (quite a bit further ahead of the manga but much less consistent publication schedule) but there's a good bit of divergence between the 2.

Artwork is up there with Berserk for just how detailed and glorious it is.

So the 3 new Jump series are out and I quite like Ayashimon so far, it's just good stupid fun. Protect me, Shugomaru! looks destined for the axe as it's not very funny or interesting for a gag series. Doron Dororon has some potential but there are so many exorcism series out right now.

You reminded me of how much I was into this webcomic in high school haha. I stopped reading at some point because the updates were so infrequent but I want to get back into it now

Return of the CG opening for my girl Jolyne!

[Ironhide]

Nice intro.

I'll still skip it most episodes though.

Assuming the lass with the Revolver is Mista's daughter

not a spoiler really, but she's nothing to do with Mista.

FISHMAN ISLAND ARC HOOOOOOOOO!!

So relieved to have Summit War behind me. It's obviously a epic and epically entertaining arc, but knowing just what was gonna go down meant I was anxious as strawberry float throughout it But now we've got Fishman on the way and there's not a cloud on the horizon for ages yet

[Ironhide]

Just watched the first two episodes of Stone Ocean, it's already brilliant.

Lucky Roo

Monster and Bonk Punch

Lime Juice

Benn Beckman

[Choclet-Milk]

Wait, they're just now revealing their names? Haven't some of those guys been in it since the first chapter??

[Saint of Killers]

Yup.

[Choclet-Milk]

Jesus Christ, there's playing the long game, and then there's Oda


Reminds me of when Toriyama, literally decades after the fact, went, "Oh yeah, Androids #17 and #18 have names."
"Well why didn't you tell us?"
"Nobody asked."

[Saint of Killers]

Looking at some of them, you wouldn't be surprised if he'd only come up with them that day. Shanks is the important one. What's needed to be known is that they're pirates and that, later down the line, they're various degrees of not to be strawberry floated with. We don't really need names for that. Especially not if they're names like strawberry floating Lime Juice and Building Snake

[Saint of Killers]

OP 1034: OF COURSE they decide to shift focus from Zoro to Sanji just as Zoro's fight is coming to the possible climax. Sigh.
