Is there something about BC anime?

 

[G_I_A]

That OP's cover is cool but Oda forgets that Luffy is still missing one tooth.

HE DID NOT FORGET! OMG ODA IS GOD!

Is there something about BC anime?

I mentioned before... First page is saying that the anime project is ongoing.

 

[vampire killer]

Gekkou no Arcadia A SHOTA AND NEE-SAN GEE WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS??

 

[ChocoBar9]

What backlash has Neverland received? It's nearly complete praise. >_>

I guess people wanting the kids to have escaped 20 chapters ago?

Biggest criticism is how weak the characterization is and there has been people here who have stated they don't think Emma is an interesting lead. Its praise comes from people who like its concept and art rather than the writing itself but that's the thing with these sort of LOST style scenarios where the appeal is centered solely on the mystery itself rather than everything else. At the same time its a diamond in the rough given Jump's current lot of new series so it stands out brightly among them for actually being good.

Really enjoying Dr. Stone. These first two chapters shows a lot of heart in it. Really hope it keeps this up.

 

[xAsum0x]

I'm enjoying Dr Stone as well. I'm expecting a pretty big plot twist since everything is going by too smoothly.

 

[justanotherone]

cute girl shows up = love the manga

He already liked the series since the first chapter was out... can we stop with insinuations and personal attacks?

Not that the art in chapter 1 was bad. But I like the art in chapter 2 of Dr.Stone a lot better. Seems like Boichi got more used to drawing these characters and drawing more in a more Jump-friendly style in this chapter

Its the same?

 

[Nakura]

This is the 3rd Black Clover chapter in a row that I've genuinely enjoyed. I'm suspicious... >.>

 

[savethecat]

Its the same?

I mean it looks the same I suppose. But to me it looks like he got more comfortable drawing the characters, and other things like Chibi style comedy panels. The art looked really good last chapter, but some panels felt stiff to me. While this one felt more energetic

Obviously, last chapter was not meant to be energetic. Regardless that doesnt mean the quality is worst.

I don't want to make it sound like I'm saying the art was bad last chapter. That's why I was afraid to say I like the art in this chapter more. The art in last chapter was great.

All I'm saying is that this chapters art just felt more energetic and expressive to me

Not really, this chapter was just more relaxed then the first, so he had more opportunities to show that off. Doesn't mean he improved. If he needs to improve on anything it's drawing females. Imma need him to get some lessons from Hori

I'm not saying the last chapter had bad artwork at all. I thought the last chapter looked great. I'm not saying it's better in the sense that his art became better quality. I just liked the the way this chapter looked a little more. Like if last chapter had 9.5/10 art this would be 9.6/10. Not saying that it destroys last chapters art or anything

 

[Doughboy]

Best part of Dr. Stone is all these real world references. You had Trump in chapter 1, Mario mushrooms in chapter 2. It kinda makes you think how corrupt Nintendo is lol. The truth all this time was Mario got poisoned from eating mushrooms, which caused him to become high as hell and start hallucinating that he was stronger and bigger. RIP my childhood.

BC had a pretty good end to the arc this week. We got major plot progression with who invented Asta's swords, the story behind the recent Demon God revealed a few chapters ago, and the possible motives behind the White night demon eye group.

MHA this week is well starting to get PAINFULLY slow paced and I swear it's getting wordier the necessary. The ending this week was good but those last few pages did not need to take that long to get to.

Dr. Stone oh Dr. Stone where to begin on this list of problems. This week we learn how to make moonshine in a little science panel that explains step by step how to make it WHY WOULD YOU PUT THAT AN A MANGA THAT HAS CHILDREN READING IT!!? Why would you ruin a perfect mystery that could've carried the series through it's first arc with an instant answer not even a chapter out of the gate. I'm disappointed that Taiju is being written as muscle with no brain so much lost potential there.

Hungry Marie actually got to what the stories about this week, but why'd it have to take three chapters to do it. We also learned why it's called Hungry Marie which is a good thing. The whole reveal as to what happened to Taiga's body was different I'll give it that and only that especially when the author had to put in a writers block that explained it, does he really think the readers are that dumb, I as a reader couldn't really careless about

Spoiler

when Marie is out and about in Taiga's body

I try not to be overcritical on specific chapters but when they have glaringly open flaws that's when it get's hard not to be overcritical.

 

[Mammo]

speaking of Dr. Stone latest chapter I like how the mangaka take a shot at all the people that got stuck at the Adam and Eve part and thought those 2 will repopulate the planet

he wasn't as sassy as me but a solid 5/7 sassieness

He already liked the series since the first chapter was out... can we stop with insinuations and personal attacks?

ok, I was wrong this time, sorry

Gekkou no Arcadia - Oneshot CP

full series when?

is this what happens when your uncle gets yor nose as a kid and never gives it back? scary

 

[Swavey]

These meaningless poorly thought out and poorly written long posts where people attempt to critique stuff by overreaching into irrelevant details and nitpicks needs to stop.

On the contrary, some people have pointed out that MHA's pacing is incredibly fast, sometimes too fast, even. Heck we even got an ultra-super-large-last-boss battle even before we reached the 100th chapter. So I think this is a good change of pace.
