Almost forgot this.
JJK: Still feeling the "weekly blues" on this one. I know it's heading somewhere interesting but it just feels like not much is going on. That being said Gege knows how to draw bodies in motion and that kept me engaged. At this point I should just get resigned to the fact that the story isn't going to move forward for a while.
Undead: I'm more interested in things going forward than the previous arc, as Juiz meeting Billy has great ramifications. I liked Unknown's story but I felt like the ending dragged a bit. Still this series revels in audacity and I love it for that.
OP: Fights in One Piece are just fine to me for the most part and while I get people wanting to see their favorite characters mix things up occasionally it's not my thing. That being said seeing Robin finally get a fight of her own does get me excited, and all things considered we knew this was coming for Sanji. That being said I do like seeing how far both Robin and Sanji have come to get to this point.
Roboco: It really didn't get funny to me until the end, but the payoff was worth it. I was laughing at the several Robocos in the past too. Not a terrible chapter but yeah, far from the best.
Mashle: Tried and true shonen in action here. There's a reason why it works though. I knew Mash would show up, and when he did it was worth the wait. The artwork in this series also continues to be really impressive.
Dolphin: A little disappointing after the build up last week but promising developments seem to be on the horizon even if it's likely this series is on it's way out. (I say likely but it's all but assured isn't it?) The small bit of humor was good, and the chapter ended at just the right point (imo.)
I tell C: Still on the fence with this one, though the chapter this week wasn't all that bad. I feel like depending on this first major arc ends will help me decide what I want to do with it. I think I'm beginning to enjoy the characters, though I still don't think I care about the concept.
Witch: I said this before, but this really does feel like Ponkotsu-chan kenshouchu in Sunday just..not as interesting. I do realize I have a bias though, lol. I was thinking more characters to bounce off the leads would perhaps help things stabilize, but this chapter still felt as forced and unfunny as the last two. It's a real shame since I adore Shinohara's artwork and character designs, but the cliche-ish humor here is impacting my enjoyment.
Yozakura: Another one that leaned on the shonen tropes hard, and did a good job with it. Gondaira's art is interesting too as with this arc being way more serious it's stepped up to the occasion in a big way. They're also great at the comedy side of things which I admit I do miss slightly. That being said this arc just keeps ramping things up and I do enjoy seeing the other members of the family get their time to shine, as well as their various backstories.
Sakamoto: Wasn't expecting the wife to find out this early on and for that to be resolved so quickly, but I think it's good in the long run. Now Sakamoto can really run "wild" lol. I liked the whole finding out info by VHS bit as well as the look at the underground. I hope we'll see more of Hardboiled because he's hilarious.
Samurai: Matsui's being a bit more deliberate with this series in comparison to Neuro and AssClass. That being said I did appreciate the time with the other characters and the humor in the chapter, and I think the slow pace in building up the characters and story is good. I do wish we could see more Matsuisms, which usually comes through with the villians, so next week should be good for that.
Phantom Seer: Yeaaaah gonna probably drop this one. "Oooh Pretty art" is just not doing it for me. I literally forgot the characters names until I talked to someone on twitter, which just goes to show it's not holding my attention. That said, I'm also toying with the idea of approaching it from a purely art appreciation angle and giving up on trying to enjoy the story or characters. Though it's likely I'm just gonna let this go.
I dunno if it's apparent, but these are in no particular order.
