Board 8 > Anime & Manga Discussion Topic 276: Day 325 Stone Ocean is not confirmed

(+) Yeah! (+)

Damn, and I can't watch for another hour until I get home...thanks

---

There's plenty more where that came from.

This show certainly doesn't lack talent.

---

Hmm I don't see the Netflix branding anywhere this time, maybe there's hope yet?

AYEEEEE WE IN THERE

Man oh MAN what a swerve on Deca-Dence's entire setup. I can't even post the OP because of spoilers!

---

is michiru the dumbest protagonist of any trigger series

10 episodes in and she still has great lines like "Anyone who fights the cops is a terrorist."

very timely
---

Oh I like her but she's dumb as shit.

Like it is shocking how on point Nazuna is with shit talking her, it's frustrating when she's actually right about stuff because she's always making baseless assumptions and is totally in the wrong on the surface.

---

Oh, and I guess I never followed up since I immediately watched Tokyo Sinks after finishing, but in the end I enjoyed BNA casually and like the designs and visuals a lot, but it's difficult to actually call it great. Lots of iffiness towards the end after a real fun first half. Would still like a season 2, but it doesn't touch a candle to Gridman for post KLK Trigger shows.

---

Nazuna's even dumber than Michiru

I wonder if the series writer is some sort of mysogynist?
---

I like Michiru but I did get annoyed with her at some points even later on, and I actually liked Nazuna's arc to the end.

I said it here already at some point but BNA is an unfortunate case of not living up to its potential and I guess a classic Trigger show through and through, main plot is not great and the world building needs way more but the animation is cool and there's fun antics to be had. Baseball episode was one of my favorites because it had literally nothing to do with the main plot of the show. I'm curious if getting like 16-18 episodes or so instead of 12 would have helped it a bit.

It still annoys the hell out of me that people don't just stay in beast form when there are zero downsides to it. They give no reasons for why you shouldn't just be in beast form, so I don't get why there aren't at least a younger generation of beast people in the city who are rebels and stay in beast form most of the time even if the older citizens abide by it for the sole reasoning of tradition of only being in it to show dominance I guess??? Which I don't believe is a good enough reason.

Which brings me to Shirou. Honestly a pretty weak deuteragonist, he was the most interesting in his introduction with the crying and such and then basically just became a generic badass loner and that didn't really change much. And for someone who's personality is 75% made up of "I hate humans".....why wouldn't HE at least want to stay in beast form most of the time to make a statement on how much he hates them? That part I REALLY don't get.

---

Oh it definitely could have used more episodes. The last was so insanely rushed.

Baseball episode indeed the best.

---

Goodbye haikyuu.

What an interesting time for Jump, 3 of it's heavy hitters gone in two months, plus the two longrunning romcoms (WNL not for another few months but still)

Thia decade is probably gonna see the end of One Piece too. I wonder if MHA is gonna be able to outlive it. It would probably need to get to 60 volumes at least.

---

So what's left at Jump that's noteable in numbersn

OP
MHA
Chainsaw
Act-Age (need to get to this)
Stone
Spy x Family
JK
Clover

I think Ghostwriter could get big.

Don't know about Mashle, haven't heard much feedback.


---

I think Kubo said that Burn the Witch won't even be something long-running. Like he intends for it to have a short run.

WNL should last until the end of the year, there are still 2 arcs to go with about 10 chapters each.

Still not sure of the exact format for Burn the Witch, if it's a weekly I assume that will hit big.

I think Ghostwriter opened a little too slowly and might suffer for it, and honestly its still not super compelling to read.

Mission: Yozakura Family is lighthearted spy stuff, and its nearing the 1 year mark so it might be safe. Its not really an action series but I dont think any of the new series from the last year really fit that mold.

Undead Unluck had a really shaky first chapter, but seems to have steered away from the worst parts of it and has been good recently.

I feel Mission is kind of fucked over by sharing headspace with Spy x Family which it doesn't really hold a candle to, but maybe I'm reading too much into it. Haven't seen the numbers myself.

I haven't even heard of Undead Unluck, I'll have to look into it.

---

Did a quick Google and the girl is CaF so definitely checking it out.

---

Anyway, BNA finished. I did not like the last three episodes at all. I thought they were very bad in almost every way. I enjoyed most of the series - it was good when it was more episodic and everyone was just having fun (with some dark and serious parts). The plot they brought in later on was just bad. I didn't like anything that happened with Alan. The beastmen in general seemed a lot dumber than they should've. All the stuff with that syndrome later on was silly and the show would've been better off without it. Personally, this is by far the worst Trigger show, and the only one I'd say I dislike.
---

Spy x Family isn't in weekly so it doesn't compete as hard with Yozakura. Also the second volume sales have been pretty decent. I think it still needs to pull a reborn! and go full battle shonen eventually if it really wants to last but maybe that's just me.

I think it was confirmed to just be a limited run of probably about 10 chapters or 1 volume.

It's basically One Punch Man in a Harry Potter world. MC can't use magic but can punch every problem out of the way.

---

Trigger would have to work very hard to make a show worse than Darling in the Franxx for me, even with my complaints about BNA it still does better than that.

---

BNA was definitely better than Franxx and Supernatural Battles. I'm also not a Kiznaiver fan so I liked it more that that too, though I wouldn't fight on that hill.

---

The action in Franxx is leagues beyond BNA's.
---

Maybe, I barely remember it. I just remember the borefest that was the last third.

I was a big defender of that show until the final chunk.

---

The action is definitely not my issue with Franxx lol and that alone does not save the show

---

Personally, I feel that the mech battles in the first half have the best fight animation of any mech anime.
---

Watched Gabriel Dropout at the recommendation of a friend.

It was a fine show I guess. It felt like it was losing steam at the end a bit, but it never got to the point that I wasn't enjoying it. I think the concept was probably better than the execution here, but it was a nice show with fun characters regardless. Satania bullying is good stuff.
---

SNAFU delayed 5 hours end meeeee

---

is that in addition to the regular 24 hour delay?

And yeah Gabriel Dropout was good stuff, though the first half was better overall than the second half. Satania is amazing and Gabriel was great too imo.
---

Was put 12:30 est last week, 5:30 est this week.


---

Fansubs with the assistance of the LN translation came out at like 10 pm PT last Thursday so that'll be my route again lol

(and watching the MTBB when it comes out on like Saturday afternoon)
---

So fun fact, it was actually Snafu/Oregairu moving up. The episode is out on CR/VRV/HiDive now.

---

Ohhhhhh I was totally screwed up because I thought today was Friday. That's what I get for ending the work week a day early.

ANN has peaked. They can close forever now. No topping this article

The vagina kayak lady is old news by now!

---

Definitely gonna have to rewatch SNAFU 1 and 2 when I get back from vacation.

Newest DB Super chapter w0w0w0w0w0w0w0w



---

JoJolion 99 hey there characters from parts 3 and 6

---

We also finally got the full explanation on what rock humans actually are and that silicon based lifeforms are what links all of it together. The stone mask, the pillar men, the stand virus in the arrows, the devils palm, the rock humans, etc.

I am blown away

---

And we have our villain now although they've been around for awhile

---

But basically for those not reading part 8 and don't wanna click the spoilers if they ever do an anime it will be the wildest thing you've ever seen

---

I think it might also actually explain what parts 7 and 8 actually are?

The Creator's (Araki's) fallback plan after carbon based life forms hit a roadblock and could not continue (Made in Heaven)

And and and and Speedwagon has now either shown up or been mentioned in every part as this was the first time his company has shown up in Part 8


---

So for someone with little to no interest in continuing JoJo can you tell me what is the connection to stone mask vampires and pillar men? Any discussion of the solar power from the 2nd part?

There's some implications that Hamaon is fundamentally the same kind of power as Stands, though far weaker/less manifested. But aside from that, the connection there is basically entirely Dio - The plot threads with the stone mask (Aside from Dio being a vampire) and pillar men are entirely closed at the end of part 2. Dio is the villain again in Part 3. An illiegtimate son of his is the protagonist of part 5. A confidant/follower of his is the villain in part 6. Part 4 doesn't have a big, direct connection, though it does have a few minor ones. And part 7 reboots the series into an alternate timeline where Stands are essentially a thing from the start

the chapter felt like Araki giving a middle finger to the Araki Forgets meme


---

Yeah, it's all real neat.

I just really wished...I Iiked it <_<

---

(better than Part 7)

---

(imho)

---

I'm not gonna fight about it because JoJo is so absurdly hard to quantify, regardless of how fundemetally I disagree.

I actually think I may rank part 8 last (part 7 I put first). I don't hate it, though.

---

i couldnt make it passed part 3
