Board 8 > Anime and Manga Topic 271:

(+) Yeah! (+)

certainly one of the most bizarre chapters of jojo we've had in a good while
---

Don't think I mentioned it here but I watched Golden Wind. Definitely the worst of the Jojo animes. I was hoping my opinion of the manga suffered from reading a bad tl or something, but alas, that was apparently not the case. It had the worst main villain of the bunch, and I wasn't a huge fan of the protagonist group either. Kinda felt like Giorno should've had more screentime. Did have some cool fights and good comedy at least.
---

Part 5 was still Part 5

it was the nicest looking of the 5 parts though
---

With My Villain Academia wrapping up, I think it's safe to say that was probably the best part of the entire series so far. What an incredible bunch of months this has been for the manga. It's almost gonna feel disappointing going back to the norm.

Meanwhile I think it's my favorite Part now lol

I thought the Manga was p weak, but the animation changed my mind on Part 5.

It was definitely cool but it was mostly set up. I think the entire section will depend on if anything actually comes of this.

I think the Shigaraki Redemption arc is still on. The only people that died at the hands of the League of Villains were lunatics so far. I've also been waiting for the next Big Bad for Deku to fight, and am almost disappointed the Liberation Army isn't going to be that.

Meanwhile Samurai 8 still sucks
---

Zoro's sword must be priceless if they are willing to trade it for something like that

wonder what rank Shusui really is
---

So we already know Zoro is descended from Ryuma so Shusui is rightfully his

And now we got this Kaido cutting legendary sword coming into play

If Oda wants to knock out 2 birds with one stone have Luffy defeat Big Mom and Zoro eliminate Kaido all in the same arc
---

YEAHH TAlJU
---

maybe have one of the supernova off screen Shanks while we're at it
---

Taiju is strong boy
---

I feel like Big Mom is liable to become an ally at this point.

Also Demon Slayer is the first series I've ever seen regularly beat One Piece in the Jump rankings (at least when OP is not getting color). I don't even know if Naruto was doing that, but I wasn't keeping track back then.
---

calling it now Big Mom will marry Sanji and enter into an alliance with the Stawhats
---

If we don't get a HxH announcement in Sept I'm calling it for 2019.

I think this will be the first year he missed since 2015
---

Chances oda already has it planned out so that the final blow to Kaido happens in chapter 1000

I think it's less about the quality of Shusui and more about its historical importance to Wano.

I was expecting Zoro to upgrade kitetsu swords to the one Luffy found but now it seems like he might well upgrade 2 swords this arc.

will this arc actually end in just 50 more chapters

No way.

He has been hyping this arc as a battle bigger than Marineford. No way that doesnt last a long time

maybe the final blow happens to kaido and then SURPRISE THE MARINES AND BLACKBEARD ARE HERE
---

aww shit aww fuck

---

what a man
---

Has anyone here been watching Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo from this season? I've been recommended it by someone but heard absolutely nothing about it besides that and I don't particularly trust the recommender.
---

It's so wonderful.

It's also going to remind you of how horribly awkward being a teenager was.

There's def cringe going on if you aren't a fan of cringing at shows.

It's prolly my show of the year thus far.
---

Thanks, will probably check it out! Don't mind some cringe depending on the type, so I should be fine.
---

I've literally never seen someone call it by that name, but yeah, O Maidens is a fantastic show.

I had no idea what it was usually called and I just got directed to the MAL page by the guy who recommended it so I just did that.

The only Supernovas not on Wano right now are BB, Apoo maybe, Capone, Jewelry Bonney and Urouge. Capone is on his way to TB, and from all the remaining ones, none of them would really create an impact in killing Shanks except for BB, but I feel like that would be a bit too over the top after him being responsible for Ace's death.

Onimaru best pet confirmed by the way.
---

Okay considering everything else I didn't recognise before this season except Fire Force has been utter garbage, that was wayy better than I expected. I'm not sure what it was, but there was something about the first episode of O Maidens that made me think it might end up very good. Maybe because it was about as un-trashy as the concept could possibly get, and actually quite funny?
---

It's pretty great. Don't agree with it being the best of the year, but it's a perfectly justified mention imo.

I have 0 faith in anything Okada touched

It's been a pretty fantastic season.

Yaiba in particular is really, really picking up.
---

I'll watch Yaiba in full at the end of the season. Really wasn't a fan of the first episode and I usually don't like demon stuff but the hype over that one episode sold me, I've kinda gotta check it out now.
---

man why is everyone in Shield Hero so incompetent

it's ridiculous how worthless every single character is, especially people like the queen and the bow hero

Yeah I can respect that. There's also def some recency bias atm.

And that's cause you have the worst taste, so of course you would dislike her wonderfulness

Ill be glad to miss out on more wonderfulness like Anohana and Asukara

I'm so fucking proud of this series. But I couldn't really imagine the anime being THIS good either, so it's really great to see it explode in popularity. (And Season 2 is gonna be the biggest banger of that year BET)

The bet I'm going to take is that it won't come out because all of Ufotable will be in jail for the tax evasion.

but then who will animate Tales of Arise

Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo

I'm watching it and I'm not sure how seriously I'm supposed to take things in it. It almost plays like a parody of a coming of age story because of how ridiculous the characters act overall. Like imo she has a hard time blending together the comedy and drama in a way she wants to and this has shown in a lot of works she's touched. I mean, think of like Kiznaiver or Dragon Pilot as pretty prime examples of this. But even stuff that she helped on that I really like (such as Toradora and Sakurasou) also suffer here.

TBF, I don't know the extent of her influence on some of the stuff she's down.

DomeGirl 216

fuck fuck fuck this is looking like Rui End

fuck this shit

fucking waste of my time, now we go back to teasing with Hina for a year and then Rui wins

why fucking have two choices if you're really ever going to end with the girl that looks like the girl from your first manga with shorter hair
---

Oh wow so you're telling me that the series actually ended up being worthwhile? Guess I should finally go back to it.

Apoo should be on Wano given that the rest of that failed alliance is.

Continuing on Jojo Part 6, up to chapter 94

alright so Pucci and Dio are just straight up gay for each other, fuck it making like no sense with how Dio's been in past parts and why Pucci wasn't mentioned in any previous things with Dio

Do you love God in a romantic or sexual way? Of course not.
