Nowhere is it more striking than between the hardback cover of Phantom Blood and the first chapter. The Jonathan on the cover doesn't even look like the same series, let alone the same character!

Part 4 is the biggest difference, it starts off looking like Part 3 and then changes a bit in.

Usopp's powers on Thriller Bark

The Justice stand

Probably the nastiest one so far.

Also why the hell hasn't Joseph taught Jotaro about Hamon yet, has it just been forgotten about?

My God!

If I remember right, he gave up on his Hamon training some years prior. He manages to eke a bit out once or twice, but he's more or less lost the ability to use it properly. But yeah, Araki basically wrote it out in favour of Stands.

Not in the mood to complete Trigun (it's understandably gotten very serious), and so I've gone back to Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. (It's serious too but there are still moments of light-heartedness here and there.)

One Piece 534: Magellan's Venom Road is probably one of my personal favourite uses of power in the whole series. It's inventive (he gloops through the poison Hydra to quickly reach Luffy who's situated high above him) and has a great finishing touch. (The Hydra spits him out.)

His chair failed to draw a laugh from me the 2nd time around though

One Piece: I was *so wrong* about Bon Clay/Kurei. Guy is good people.

JFC my memory is so bad I completely forgot who Ace's dad was

I really liked him during Alabasta and I was proven right. He's one of my favourite One Piece characters for sure.

I actually cried when he was saying goodbye to everyone at the end of Impel Down T_T

I just found him to be too silly at first and that put me off him and was the cause of my snap judgement on him. I'm assuming once his kinder qualities appeared that I then quickly warmed to him.

I couldn't stand Bon Clay during the Alabasta arc, but he did redeem himself a little bit when the Straw Hats left, so I'm willing to reserve judgement until I see where his character goes later in the story.

Well, that's the weirdest JoJo episode I've seen so far.

The Zenyatta Mondatta (which I believe is the title of a Police album) brothers episode, the art style of that comic

Are you talking about Oingo and Boingo?

Yes, its the stupid subtitles that have different names for some characters, I wondered why the English text on the comic said Oingo Boingo, Santana was changed to Santviento for some reason

unironically one of the greatest arcs in stardust crusaders

Ok, I still enjoyed it but what the strawberry float at Promised Neverland Season 2.

Not only did they skip 2 of the best arcs from the manga (as I understand) - the ending was just completely rushed. It's like nothing really happened and then in the space of 2 episodes every single little plot point was resolved. I'm guessing they didn't want to make a season 3 or something so rushed it to an ending but that was weird.

It's the biggest disappointment for me in quite a while. The first season skipped a little but could be justified in order to fit the season, but skipping the best arc post-escape, introduction of a couple of the best characters with great chemistry and the slow build towards the Norman reunion is just unforgivable. I had to drop it a few episodes in because it was just pissing me off whenever I tried to watch it.
