That Naruto set

Hey cheers!,I'm sort of going back in time when it comes to my set/s lately i realized but i'm probably running with a new one from MHA next,still was nice Nostalgia feeling. Naruto used to be one of my favorite Weeklies when it was still running. I miss it.

Now in some other pages I have seen theories that Futaba will marry... Touma, lmao. I really hope that isn't the case, though I really can't see the author making that (would be pretty terrible tbh), I had rather have her marrying one of the classmates they all had.

Yeah i strongly doubt that too,would mean a lot of things changed for Touma after his talk with Taichi not just in terms of their chemistry if you get what i mean. It would also make it weird that Touma suggested Taichi and Futaba have a final talk and resolve whatever stood between them at their reunion,them remaining friends would be weird too to be honest. Not many friendships would stand this sort of emotional tumult.

Despite everything I still want to Masumi the most, we barely got to see anything about her before the time-skip and it would be nice how life is for her now (especially since Futaba is getting married, I'm kinda more curious about her reaction more than Taichi's).

I cannot believe that the Author actually went and shafted her right when it was the perfect time for her to get critical development,she and Mami had that talk where basically everything came into the open about Masumi's and her own needs and desires,there was also the conversation with Touma's sister in-law about being one's self and not someone else that others may like more. She would've needed to do the same as Touma and confess to Futaba to be honest,even if Futaba herself voiced that she'd find it weird to hear that.

You know,even if it's unlikely,i'd actually feel most comfortable if Futaba was marrying Masumi...

And I didn't notice that parallel! It's a nice touch, makes me really want to see everyone happy in the end. And I will definetly give it a re-read once it ends too, it's from the best mangas I'm currently following, hope it gets an anime adaptation or maybe see a new work of the author after it ends.

Sounds great,i'd watch it's Anime for sure if it got one but a Movie that sums up the entire story would also be pretty nice. Like a 2h one,would definitely be entertaining. For a Manga with around 50 Chapters that'd be possible,it happened to Berserk before so it could work here too. Let me know if you hear about the Author releasing a new Manga,i'd be interested in that.

Niceeee,i started the Resident Evil 3 Remake.

I turned it off after the spider scene.. Gonna play it later but that shit was disgusting..

Yeah that was really gross,hard to watch. Haven't gotten too far from that point myself,but i'm hoping that i'll like this game as much as the RE2 Remake. That was a good one,even though i sometimes cracked up because of Mr. X.

What's that one like?,I haven't heard much about it before.

Ao no Flag 54 is out!

 

[Seraph]

Ao no Flag 54 is out!

Thanks!,I read it earlier today,the ending surprised me to say the least but i guess it all worked out for the best. For everybody. Guess it was supposed to show that People's desires and beliefs can change drastically as they move forward in Life. But at least it makes sense now why Taichi broke up with Futaba lol.

I was surprised to see a final chapter so soon.
Agreed with you, but I still think it was pretty rushed, everything Taichi said in the previous chapter about breaking up with her makes sense now; but there were a whole 50 chapters into developing Taichi's acceptance with Touma, to understand Touma and to finally be friends again with him. So to suddenly make him a new side into seeing him in a romantic way in just a few chapters... I don't know, it feels weird because everything was too detailed.
Futaba marrying an unknown character is pretty realistic though, like you say about how desires in life can change; I also liked Masumi's husband but I wish we got more screentime for her, I feel that her character arc isn't complete.

Basically I like the idea of the ending but would've liked a mini arc to show the development of everything lol, but overall still a great manga and I will miss it a lot.

It's possible that the Mangaka was rushed due to the Manga not enjoying enough popularity,i can't say for sure since i'm not too big on Shueisha's popularity polls or their Ranking of Contents. But it sure feels that way.

I was surprised that this final Chapter was from Touma's PoV. and not Taichi's own after the last cliffhanger,i figured we would follow Taichi to the Wedding and on the way there(Maybe even at the reception) he'd have an inner monologue to tell us what had been happening the past years. Including Futaba's new romance and Masumi's change of orientation. And most importantly: His own change.

Masumi's character arc isn't complete,you're right with that feeling. We never learned how and what changed her from loving Futaba to falling in love with a random messed up guy. That's important,especially with her role throughout the Manga.

I feel like we should've gotten another 2 Chapters worth of Flashbacks and/or Inner Monologue from the entire Clique and then the Final one to close it off entirely from Taichi's PoV. But i guess that's that,i'm gonna miss reading it too,was a fun Manga for sure. Very high on emotions.

@Vici I finished the Resident Evil 3 Remake,was overall a pretty fun game. Pretty damn short in comparison and had it's disgusting bits i found but still,it was fun.

You got anywhere with Stellaris?

 

[Spirit]

You have Stellaris?
Someone bought me the game and I played a few games. Made a nice little fledgling space empire before getting steamrolled and dismantled by literal space nazis wanting to wipe out all life.

I actually don't have it,i remembered Vici telling me recently that she had been trying to play it so i figured while i give her my update on RE3 i'd ask on her progress over on that front haha.

How you been doing Spirit? Been a pretty long time since the last time i've seen you here.

And I also saw The Last of Us II leaks.

Like,the Fanbase was already rioting to have an earlier release and now they go and spoiler crucial story parts? Of course people are pushing for an even earlier release now. Gotta be kidding with that i thought when i read it lmao.

I was at uni for a year, then left as I just wasn't interested in spending 3 more years in a classroom. I'm in a Management position at a Supermarket atm.

I like playing Hearts of Iron 4. My Paradox game of choice usually.

I'm also always playing SCP: Secret Laboratory these days. I even host a server so mates can play on it.

Sounds good man,better to realize if and when something isn't feeling right for you anymore sooner than later.

 

[Spirit]

So what's the news from around these parts? Anything interesting happen here over the, well, past year or so?
