Mx0 says hi, don't forget about me. I'm exist first before BC. I'm enroll in a magic school where everyone can use magic but myself. But, I can cancelled out their magic with my 0(zero) card. Did my ability sounds familiar with some new-and-never-have-been-done-before-MC-ability WSJ series?
Would have thought at least Hitsugaya would be in there somewhere
I mean, even that wasn't new. To aru majutsu no Index basically did the same thing all the way back in 2004, and there's probably something else that did it even before.
Okay, this reminded me. If any of you guys read Hitman Reborn, what did you think of it? I didn’t hear good things about how it ended, but then I checked around MAL and the series apparently still has good reception - but I wanted more personal opinions.
I'm certainly the biggest Reborn fan in this thread (my nickname that i use everywhere for almost 10 years is because of it and Reborn is my favorite char ever), it's a bit complicated, the final arc wasn't really good but be sure, wasn't any Souma, Gantz or maybe Bleach level of bad, it was just underwhelming and the end was quite the "open" ending.
Shouldnt take MAL too seriously (to begin with tbh). Hell, Soma still has like an 8+ rating even after the manga ended despite having one of the worst final arcs. People just don't update their scores.
They do, specially when a series ended, Souma score already dropped a lot from what it was before, but the thing is, if you exclude the last arc, the rest of the series still easily a 8. Nanatsu for example is almost under 8.0 when it was really high before.
Probably the most painful reading experience I've endured.
But if you look at the summary stats majority of the people still have it on reading rather than completed...
Oh, thank you! I might watch the anime now.
How come? Please elaborate.
If many still have it on reading maybe is because they didn't completed yet, some people don't even put series in the "on hold" when they're giving a time from it, also interesting to note that there are the 3 GIGA chapters that here in Brazil for example, the last one isn't even translated by the Manga Editor, i had to read in english in order to finish.
The series embodies everything I dislike in a battle manga. The characters are paper-thin and never develop, the arcs are scatterdash and have little to no impact (an arc which lasts over 100 chapters ends with the characters lives no different), the fights are style over substance, the story is non-existent, and the manga ends with the writer deliberately going out of the way to have no real payoff of any kind. The only things the series has are the art and "cool factor".
Kei and Food (Act-Age)
Reborn isn't that bad, but I wouldn't say it was worth 400 chapters, at least in my opinion. Unless you really want to read an older battle shonen with tons of power-ups, I would pass. Art is pretty good and certainly has a charm to it, but not enough to recommend on alone. Character designs are pretty solid though. Tsuna is one of the worst shonen protags I've read, it's hard to really put into words how much I didn't like him. Which is a shame because I did like the supporting cast quite a bit, especially most of the Vongola guardians. Of course, if you're not Hibari or Mukuro you kinda get benched after the first few arcs which was a bit of a letdown. Villains were good at first, I like Mukuro and Xanxus, but I really don't like Byakuran or the antagonists from the last arc. I absolutely loathed the 60-chapter gag arc at the start, but I suppose humor is subjective. Naito Longchamp anyone? It does pick up after that with the next two arcs, and I really did like the Varia arc. The future arc has a pretty good start but goes on far too long, to a point where it's almost unbearable. The next arc is ok, and the last arc I actually kinda liked, except for the final battle. Last two chapters basically spit in the face of the entire series beforehand, but I do understand what Amano was saying about Tsuna. No idea about the anime as I haven't seen it.
k-k-keep chewing
it's pretty Naruto-ish/Dragon Ball-ish journey
