Everything? Not really.

Reading all your expectations has been a wild ride and I've been on the opposite side for most of it.
The oneshot was trash.

• High school setting
• Edgy delinquent protagonist
• Damsel in distress heroine
• Foreigners are demons
• Dog bots
• Loli grandma

Sure, that's out of the way, but the whole priest outfit concept with their weapons and stuff was set in the One-shot, and that's really important, wouldn't you say, so not everything was changed.

Who says he ain't going to highschool

It went like this.

1. Preview shot of the manga looked pretty atrocious in black and white. (which also made me assume the worst which I tend to do, but luckily things seem to be going OK so far)
2. Newer Preview shot of the manga used the same picture but in color, still looked terrible.
3. You automatically assume failure in WSJ because it's a harsh life in there, they'll eat you up alive.
4. Word spreads around from leaks after the chapter comes out, that hey, "it's pretty good".
5. This manga has a great opportunity to survive with all the unstable spots in the magazine, it will either capitalize on it or die like Full Drive and Golem Hearts.
6. After looking at the first chapter, the art looks good, my worries about the art taking a turn for the worse look stupid now and now I'm keeping an eye on the story and the pacing.
7. Our opinions don't matter in the large picture, since the Japanese will decide if it lives or not.

Should've added:
- Obviously overblown worry from people(including me, hehe), since we were basing everything on literally one fucking picture and comparing it with the art from the original one-shot, then you add the general forum panic element and here we are and welcome to 2018.

EDIT: Hey, if things go well and it survives, the manga will have an extra memorable start for me.

Are you just listing the story traits or do you seriously think those are negatives?

 

[TyVip]

Man, did the popular opinion on Bozebeats' survival change quickly or what lol.

I get that, but as someone who's mainly been sitting on the sidelines, it's quite the spectacle . We've went from Bozebeats dead-on-arrival, to Bozebeats is amazing in almost no time flat lol.

No because it's bad practice to judge anything based off of preview images alone before reading the thing.That's why there is always a HUGE shift in people's opinions after the chapter came out.

 

[razerxs]

I'm calling them negatives, almost ranked least to worst. It's not as though I've got a litmus test for these things.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Bozebeats looks pretty schway hopefully it doesnt turn into a romcom...

 

[SharkBait]

Ive never seen something that looked amazing in the preview and turned out to be garbage, or something that looked bad in the preview image that turned out to be good. I knew BLack Clover would be good, same for Best BLue, Stealth Symphony, Shuudan, etc. I think one can instantly tell their feelings on the whole thing just from how it affects them the moment they lay their eyes on it.

 

[Caiops]

So, did the dog die? Because i don't wanna the dog dying, he's amazing.

 

[CallMeTsuyu]

I'll reserve my judgement until I read the translation. I will say the art is flawless, and I like the application(pun both intended and not) of certain items in the exorcism process. I found that portion of the chapter fairly neat and creative. A priest exorcising and warding off evil with a big ass gatling gun and modern technology. Sure, why not? OG Boze is badass as ever. Hopefully we'll see him around on occasion. Other than that, I'll see whether I stick with it once I've read a few chapters. Exorcism and shit with demons and stuff usually isn't my thing, but there have been exceptions.

Crossing my fingers Act-Age will end up being good.

 

[De La Croissant]

Seeing the pages now I really got interested in Bozo Beatles.

 

[Doughboy]

It was alot better than Dr. Stone's first chapter that's for sure.

 

[SharkBait]

It was alot better than Dr. Stone's first chapter that's for sure.

Its going to overshadow and surpass Dr. Stone swiftly.

Dr. Stone needs something to spice it up fast.

How was the Hoshin Engi new anime? Im unable to check it out at this point in time

I'd say rushed, first episode reached the ninth chapter, visuals are pretty good though.

It's pretty bad since it skipped two major fights up to the ending of episode 1.
It doesn't show the anime watchers how smart and cunning Taikobo actually is. One character is not suppose to show up until chapter 30.

Anime wise there are lots of still frame images. What's the point of a remake if they are going to do it like this.
Also it took the Boruto route in the first 30 seconds of the anime.

Don't want to discuss too much since it's not the thread for it.

Well, guess I'll read the manga then.

Bozebeats has an amazing art. The story seems pretty interesting so I can't wait to actually read it.
