#4. Don't bring politics or off-topic stuff to the thread, this is about Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and mangas, so keep any conversation about topics that aren't related about anime & manga outside the thread.

#10. Regarding rule #9, an exception will be made for when we have new series, in this case, spoilers will be allowed only for the first 3 chapters of a new series for the users who are interested in knowing informations and details about the new series, these spoilers will obviously be kept under tags to protect anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled, so don't worry about it.

I understand you. But they sold it as an assassin genre, right? Missions and all that, but there is no tension/action at all (at least for me). I think shinobi (not reading either, but from the panels I see from time to time) does a better job at it (might be wrong, waiting for the anime XD).
Nope, the manga was sold like it is, a mix of school comedy and action, Kill Blue also had a one shot that was pretty much the same thing (different main girl tho), so people knew what to expect from it anyway.

lol Shinobi completely went far away from all its setting elements, today is just basically a pure battle shounen while Kill Blue stayed true to its original theme and premise through the end.

I need to know what I'm watching. It needs to choose a genre and to stick to it. IMHO.
The series will still a mix of genres through the end.

lol ok. I wasn't under this impression. My bad. ^^ Anyway, dropping it.

(for Shinobi becoming a pure battle, then I might be interested. Yes, I'm just a gaijin wanting blood and action in my anime. Baaaad gaijin. XD).

(yes, contradicting myself. Not my first time, not my last. :derp )

I don't do for Kinato because of the thread rules and Class 2-B i gave up posting in the thread since i was too tired to post yesterday when i got the chapter and it's already close to Sunday anyway, but if you want to know about Class 2-B:
Chapter starts in the fantasy world with a a bunch of human characters gathered together, they don't seems exactly evil but the old lady in the middle with a creepy crystal ball looks kinda evil lol

Very typical "2nd Chapter", most of the chapter, at least visually, feels kinda like a repetition of chapter 1, the demon king fall in the floor, the mc wanting to take a shit again, we do get the backstory of his childhood but it's pretty much taking a shit too kkkk, end of the chapter is him going to take a shit and the bathroom is full of spiked vines with eyes.
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

But one thing i can say about Kinato which isn't a "spoiler" itself and is related to it's survival, is that i'm glad that it does not looks like Kinato is rushing the story at all for now! :blush

Class 2-B sounds as mid as Chapter 1 was.

And Kinato might be going for the Kaedegami / Mage Next Door Route of getting axed.

Shinobi Undercover has always stuck to the premise and plot of protecting Aoi Mukai from shinobi who want to kidnap her. Unlike Kill Blue, which changes its premise all the time.

Kill Blue hasn't changed its premise at all, it has always been about Ogami being in the school protecting/investigating Noren while living the school life and trying to find info about Noren father and the pharma company while also fighting other assassin groups trying to kidnap Noren to get that pharma info too, and it sticked to that through the entire manga until the end.

It should be pretty clear from the beginning that Ogami doesn't care that much about the mission, he mostly wants to protect the kids, especially Noren. The core of it is how living childhood again makes him change the way he sees the world, he goes from a cold assassin to someone who fights to protect.

Is Hokuto no Ken aimless because it stops being about saving Yuria and turns into a story about Ken finding reasons to keep living in a seemingly hopeless world? Neverland, Hero Academia, Chainsaw Man, etc. Many stories change their protagonist's initial goal as they develop.

What you described refers to the later arcs, because the entire beginning of Kill Blue focused on things other than the main plot. Shinobi always got things right where Kill Blue got them wrong.

Just like it's always tiring when you say Kill Blue was canceled, even after receiving a well-produced anime adaptation ?

Shinuki, what is the one-shot of tomorrow, " Tensai Futsu Gakusha Raro Papuru no Hatsukoi", all about?

Since we won't get official translations whatsoever for the one-shots that will show up in the coming weeks.
