Hmm....

What made Bleach so good that you rank it above OP Q99? mmm

Just curious.

Well, it introduced a character and told us what he was about in one go. It revealed a fair amount about the organization- they have their own travel method, they have bankais, plural (in addition to meddling with other's bankai apparently), and they have a strong leader.

Plus I did visually like it, and the half-burned guy looked cool.

OP was a bit slower paced, though it did have cool bits like Nico's imagine spot and Tafalgar Law!

Ah. I figured a lot of it was due to the visuals. I did really enjoy it. Especially the realm for these new guys. Kubo likes big environments.

But pick one out of those.

Besides, DP is more of an Ace.

That's right, I'm an Ace, and I'm too Sexy For my Shirt. awesome

~ Meh, I liked Bleach more than Naruto this week. The Madara vs. Kage fight is starting to drag out now. This is the third chapter where he's patronized them, praised Hashirama, and whooped ass. It's awesome, but I kind of want to get back to Naruto vs. Tobi. If he extends these fights, it's likely we'll have three fights happening concurrently, what with Itachi, Sasuke & Kabutomaru meeting up now.

Plus Bleach had that manly man at the end, and Yamamoto looked like he was scared shitless.

You're Ace mostly cause I dun want you to be Marco. That and Ace's fire seems more your style.

Dude, we spent loads of chapters with Tobi vs Naruto & Crew. I can deal with Madara's giant man crush. But yeah, we'll probably be focusing more on Uchiha bros vs Kabutomaru, with cuts to Kage vs Madara. Which is fine.

Bleach also had Sasikibe live. uhuh

Nah. Dying was the only thing he could ever do of significance in the series.

He will bust out his Bankai which due to being based on Western swordsmanship will automatically be superior than all of the weaboo Eastern nonsense going on in Bleach.

Why not? Apparently he can turn into a Phoenix. awesome

We did, but he did not end that fight. That's really why I want to get back to it. Don't get me wrong, Madara's the best thing in this arc so far IMO, but I don't want Kishi to leave fights hanging.

Eh, better that way. Plus it was thanks to him that Yamamoto got scared/surprised. sneer

That and Marco is my favorite character. ^^

Eh. I prefer it this way. Once Kabuto beats Itachi, Madara beats the Kage, and Tobi captures Bee we can see a two page spread of them walking away all badass with the narrative comments being all "OH SHI-!"

Keep in mind, him dying would have done that as well.

BUT HE CAN TURN INTO A PHOENIX! CAN YOU?

Kabutomaru could not pull off badass like that, and he would not beat Itachi. Sasuke could accomplish both on the other hand. awesome

Who cares. He lived. Move on. uhuh
At least we have a manly man boss villain this time around.

Si.

Then Sasuke can kill both. That would really fawk over the SA.

I do like this new boss. Still, Urahara will take the role of Big Bad from him.

Lies.

Eh, he'll just use Kirin and end the manga. awesome

Fixed.

Top Graphic Novels in February

Negima passed Bleach 🙂 And the excellent Blue Exorcist is right on their heals!

Well Negima is at its climax now (And actually just ended today I think), isn't it?

Well, maybe that volume may not be at its climax, but whateverz.

Yep, the volume in question is in the run-up.

There'll be 37 overall and that was 33.

Okay I just read the latest chapter of HSDK and immediately remembered why I stopped reading it.

Seriously WTF is this:
http://www.mangareader.net/historys-strongest-disciple-kenichi/466
http://www.mangareader.net/historys-strongest-disciple-kenichi/466/9

Granted that still isn't as bad as Shigure's topless fight(s)

crylaugh

Yeah, the fanservice is really bad in HSDK (And in page 9's sense, it's... Well yeah), but the characters, plot, and fights are solid enough that I still read it. While no one is around. 😐

Edit:

Spoiler:
ZOMG MIU'S DAD JUST SHOWED UP!

Are there are good Martial arts manga that take place in a sci fi verse?

Yes, Battle Angel Alita and it's sequel, Battle Angel Alita Last Order. Dystopian future with cyborgs.

The first series takes place in a place called 'the scrapyard,' a town at the base of a floating city that lives off of their trash.

A Doctor-slash-bounty hunter (called Hunter Warriors) discovers a cyborg girl in the scrap heap and repairs her. She turns out to somehow know the ancient Martian martial art, Panzer Kunst. Lots of stuff happens.

Often dark, sometimes gory, but very good.
