Manga comparison thread

Only a few have a romantic interest rather than just playing around, really. The female lead definitely doesn't, for example.

Which is why you should read Dragons Rioting. In a setting where the population is 99% female only one girl has a demonstrated romantic interest.

Whereas the guy is sexually aroused by almost all the women. What prevents him from doing anything is a secret!

Lame. I prefer Toriko, where everyone is flagrantly gay.

Anyway to capture the spirit of this thread when it was fun, pick a moveset from each of the Big Three you'd like to have and one overall you'd have if you could only get one. The overall should not be the same as the one for the individual series.

For simplicity, say these powers worked the same in our world as they did in the series by the way. I.e Akainu's lava doesn't melt your clothes. Also for fun try not to pick the characters who are overpowered like Juubidara or could potentially be overpowered like Shirahoshi.

Hmmm, I'm swinging between Obito and Luffy there. Luffy because it would be pretty sweet to be able to stretch like that and Obito because they I could teleport and go intangible.

Anyway:

Luffy
Obito
Aizen or Barragan

Screw your rule about picking different ones.

Moria, his powers are hilarious. The corpse thing would stink though 😬

You guys that read HSDK or Fairy Tail should really read "Freezing" if for nothing else to talk shit about it.

Also to answer the question really late like here it goes:

1. Enel
2. A
3. Barragan

Overall I would pick Aokiji 😐

Kingdom was ok this week, nothing uber special. No OP this week so it wins by default.

.

KnB was actually pretty good this week.

Overall though, this game is kinda underwhelming for the final game of the series.

Though, as usual, Magi is the top dawg for me.

Claymore was quite nice with it's Cassandra vs Teresa fight.

Naruto's hit the, what, 5th phase of this battle? ^^ Vs Obito with biju / Juubi / Juubito / Juubi Madara / Rabbit Goddess. Actually not complaining- although there's been a lot of battling, obviously, it keeps things mixed up.

Bleach was padding.

At least now there's just one battle going on, even though the battle vs. Juubi Madara was underwhelming.

During the Naruto vs. Obito w. Bijuu fight, there were two other fights going on.

Anyone watch Blue Exorcist?

I have virtually zero knowledge of anime/manga, but one of my kids records this which my youngest watches. I usually avoid these kinds of show, but this one caught my interest. After about the 3rd episode though, i started messing with my kids calling it "Asian Harry Potter", but just in fun.

This is a really fun show!

Curious as to how it stacks up against the other shows i've heard of, like DBZ, Bleach, Naruto, Space Dandy, One Piece etc.
To be honest i'm not sure if all these shows are even the same genre.

Not a comparison, but there's no other general thread of sorts. That said, I recommend this Korean-made manga, Witch Hunter, by Cho Jung Man (if I got that name right).

Naruto- Obito starts to die again. How sad. Some strategy but the new dimension is confusing. Also a cowboy color page. Not as cool as ye old Fantasy Adventure but hey why not.

Bleach- Bambietta has sapience once more and Giselle continues to be a pretty decent villain. Mayuri's new technique is eh but at least it is better than "I replaced my internal organs teehee." The ending was incredibly dumb though.

One Piece- So was Kanjuro a toy? Because why else would he be down there? If so, how did Kinemon remember him? Meh character. Neither terrible nor fantastic at this point. The Kinemon stuff is filler. More of teh battle but eh who cares. Since Luffy and Law aren't fighting I have no vested interest. Toy soldiers look cool though but they probably exist to kill time. And Zoro is stomping Pica. Honestly pretty depressing.

Fairy Tail will not have a hard act to follow this week lol.

That's a reasonably fun one.

Hm, anyone mentioned Blood Lad? That's an enjoyable series I'm following.

Yea, a relative lull chapter.

I dunno, I kinda liked it.

One Piece- And Zoro is stomping Pica. Honestly pretty depressing.

Seriously, so bored of stomping. They need to hit strong foes eventually or it lacks drama!

Fairy Tail had a post-skip arc of stomping... followed by an arc of extremely powerful foes who were real challenges with some defeats for the heroes!

Fairy Tail will not have a hard act to follow this week lol.

Yes.

Hey this thread is still active.

So is Obito dead this time or what? He's been dying for a while now so I'm not sure

Bleach was dumb but Giselle is pretty competent so that's cool. Also considering the ending anyone find it funny how useless the Vizards are in this war?

On of the things I like about One Piece is that I can skip a dozen chapters and not miss anything important.

Pretty boring week so far.

Pretty sure Obito's dead. Only so much heroic sacrificing one can do before you're gone, y'know?

The vizards have never been useful in a fight, except for the one kido guy who helped Soi Fon.

The pacing, it burns...

Pretty boring week so far.

I'm taking this opportunity to start on another manga I've heard about. 'Jojo's Bizarre' something or other.

This 'Dio' fellow seems like he could be a nice guy despite his issues. I hope Jonathan gets through to him and they can be real friends!
