Interesting week IMO :

- Dr.Stone : really cool chapter with a new plot. Just wondering if it will be the final arc or not!
- TPN was great too, feeling like we are reaching the end.
- Yozakura Family had a great chapter with a more serious tone, if I think the author should continue to go in this way insteas of a majority of comedy.
- Mitama Security was fun but not as fun as the previous ones.
- Zipman ... Well it feels too generic, even if the situation where one of the brother is absent was kind of interesting.
- AGRAVITY BOYS : I really love this serie !! It was really fun to read and the art is really good in every chapter imo. I hope it will survive !!
- UxU : Good chapter but nothing much to say about it.
- MASHLE : Another fun chapter, I thnk the author could really build an interesting world with a lot of comedy in it.
- GOTW : Good chapter, the story is advancing slowly. However the art is on point, It is really nice to read !

Picture was taken from MangaPlus. Can confirm, name’s been changed. Can’t post the screenshot from my phone, but check Chapter 259. New name sounds dumber and flows less well than the old, but I imagine he was just trying to replace it as soon as possible. Also Hori’s names were always kind of dumb.

Additional info:

Considering all this, I think Hori was actually telling the truth this whole time and this whole thing was a terrible coincidence. He handled it almost as best as he could and I hope that Shueisha learns from this with future series.

I look forward to never having a conversation about this again now that things have been near-fully resolved, so that’s why I’m getting out all my thoughts now.

My top 5 this week:
1. CSM
2. MHA
3. UU
4. WNL
5. Act Age

New series this week: UU>Mitama>Mashle>Yozakura>Guardian/Zipman

Undead was great once again. I remember looking at its cover+lcp a few weeks ago, thinking that it's gonna suck... welp, it's great. Shouldn't have judged the book by its cover. Hopefully it manages to get popular. Mashle was also very good, same with Mitama. It would be nice to have these series running alongside each other, since they both provide decent laughs. Yozakura had a good chapter too. Zipman/GOTW - big nope. Extremely boring.

I'm also happy that MHA is getting interesting again. I enjoy it much more when Deku is not the focus of the chapter.

CSM was the best though. Fucking amazing.

Wow, I never bothered to check out her VA all this time, I never realized she's as beautiful as her character too.

This is going to send Bleach fans into a frenzy won't it?

I’d be shocked if the Bleach anime doesn’t come back in some way, shape or form this time.

Though I would love to see the absolute hellstorm that would come from Bleach fans if they did all of this just to announce Brave Souls 2 or something.

Does anyone else feel like mashle isn’t creative enough with using it’s premise ? It doesn’t remotely seem to have the surprise factor of Mitama or UxU, or even Agravity for that matter.

Guardian seems to got the art and pacing right ! I really look forward to the story.

Yozakura seems to be learning from it’s mistakes. I hope it is not wrapping things up or that it is too late. I hope it stays. No matter what happened so far, it does have interesting character design and world building. It is just about milking it right.

I'm not gonna lie. After all this, if they ONLY announce a Brave Souls 2, I'm gonna be one of those Bleach fans.

I'd have a laugh but tbf I can't say I'm even interested in seeing the final arc animated at this point, it's been so long and I never liked that arc in the first place.

We know Kubo is announcing his new series though (and given that nakano is there too I'd say the chances of it being WSJ are pretty high), so that's something already.

Whoa wait, Nakano is going to be there as well?

Somehow I missed that detail. Yeah, that does increase the odds that Kubo is doing a new WSJ series. I doubt they'd go to all this trouble if it was just a oneshot, or even a mini series.

Yeah Nakano will be there, and I'm definitely more interested in seeing what Kubo has in mind for his new series than in the anime at this point.

I actually liked Bleach's final arc until the very end of it. But, Bleach's anime always improved on the source material, so maybe they can save it. Although, if the rumors are true, it's gonna be a brand new studio animating it.

I'm happy either way, though.

Yeah the bleach anime was pretty good for a long running show, I really liked the music especially. I can agree with that.

I’d happily watch a new Bleach series/season if announced(which looks like it’ll happen), but I don’t particularly care on my own whether it comes back or not in anime form.

But I’m hype at the possibility of Kubo working on something new.
Need to see him show off those character design and fashion drawing skills for another series

While we're on the subject of Kubo possibly returning, what kind of series would you want to see him do?

Probably still a battle shonen just because that's the genre that would allow him to show off his designs the most imho.

The good one would be nise. But talking about this seriously when i think in what Kubo was good and how it can be used in new manga the silhouette of this has striking resemblance to jujutsu kaisen.

I could say the same for seasonals. Haikyuu s4 director has been through poduction I.G training system and came through the ranks to become director. Yutaka Nakumura has been animating what is basically sakuga porn for 4 continuous seasons for My hero academia. It is the studios that are the training field for animators and it is their policies about how the training goes not necessaryly because of long runners.

Let me give you a link to explain better. The article is about haikyu, its production and production I.G training methods.

Just because the circumstances allow Production IG to train their staff doesn't mean most of the other studios could do the same. I can easily counter your argument by using seasonal shows from JC Staff like Shokugeki no Souma as an example which progressively got worse as it got sequels while "Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?" managed to maintain its quality.

Regarding Yutaka Nakamura, I'm not sure why you mentioned him. He is a living legend who has been working in the industry since the 80s. He got where he is through talent and experience while Hiroyuki Yamashita, Chengxi Huang and the iconic episodes in Naruto are a product of the long running system. Not saying Yamashita and Huang aren't talented but it's very likely they wouldn't be where they are if they didn't have the environment that allowed them to progress. The same can be said about those iconic episodes which normally takes half an year to animate. The schedule for seasonal shows doesn't allow for such episodes which is why I said Mob Psycho and some other shows were exceptions because they have extremely good schedule.
