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!

haermm

Anyway, Bleach won, who cares about the others?

Oh no, Dio's been cursed by the mask! I hope Jonathan can free him of the curse and resort their bonds of friendship!

Yep. 313

Also doesn't help that Pica is making the shnone face.

I'd love for Pica to turn around and start having a man brawl with Zoro. Until then color me disappointed.

Naruto won this week.

The only thing that can make Naruto win any win is a series finale or a heavy retcon.

Or a crossover with Hulk comics.

None of the big three won. There was an Ippo chapter and those are obviously the best.

Naruto sucked and has been sucking however.

Nah, I'll vouch for Naruto. Even though the fights have been going on a long time, stuff happens regularly. Stuff of significant. There's none of these dead chapters where nothing happens but time wasting. Either something gets unveiled or the situation changes a lot or we learn something... it'll certainly read better in trade format rather than week-to-week, but in trade format it'll still feel like plenty's happening.

I don't care how it all reads if you breeze through all the chapters in one go.

If a manga can not sustain itself on the weekly format with which it is released, it's a bad manga.

Naruto took an irredeemable shitdive for terrible when Kaguya became the main villain, and nothing that's happened since then has changed that.

I disagree. Hagoromo coming right out of Madara's ass was plenty entertaining as was Kakashi having a pity party for 3 chapters.

I've been liking Naruto so far. One Piece is also going through one of the craziest and "best" arcs so far.

Bleach is still utter dogshit.

Bleach chapters needs to be read in chunks. Not on a one-a-week basis.

I usually forget just wtf is going on when the next chapter arrives.

The Vandendreich are actually proving themselves to be rather formidable so far. And Kubo's made their abilities more varied than he did with the Arrancar or the Shinigami.

"Oh guys did I forget to tell you? Naruto INSPIRES people! =D "

This is shit we've seen before.

To be fair you're so biased against Bleach that it could be about Rukia and Orihime like, opening up a shoe store or whatever it is you're into and you'd think it was dog shit. Bleach is at the best it's been since Soul Society.

Naruto is crap, and One Piece might even be worse if only because, while I can hate on Naruto, current One Piece provokes no reaction from me whatsoever. I just don't care about any of these boring, irrelevant characters. Also Oda is unfunny.

I actually think Bleach reads better on a chapter by chapter basis than the others though. Or at least it has been.

The Vandenreich are far better villains than the Arrancars ever were though, and Yhwach makes Aizen look like even more shit than he already is.

Meh while there's interesting things going on, it's countered by Kubo's inconsistency with the current batch of characters. This dude also wasted about 2 months on a Kenpachi fight that_was kind of pointless in the long run. Oh and still waitingon the reason why the Zero Squad thought it was a good ideas to let Ichigo run around with the King's Key.

That's not really saying much since even Aizen admits that their construction wad a complete waste of time. Well Bach didn't have to do too much since, with the exception of Mayuri, Soul Society is hilariously incompetent.

I gotta admit, yea. Not in some prior arcs (Deicide, Fullbringers), but *this* one. Kubo ends most chapters with a reveal or a cliffhanger or some dramatic moment.

Bleach really falls apart in the long-term pacing, but, say, the Fake Town arc, it was fun seeing all the Vice-Captains do their thing for awhile, and this reminds me of that. I expect to lose interest again at some point, but it's fun popcorn manga, so to speak.

If a manga can not sustain itself on the weekly format with which it is released, it's a bad manga.

Strongly disagree on both of those. Overall story counts a ton in my book. And, additionally, it's not *boring* even in week-to-week, so it's not too bad in that area anyway IMO.

Actually- what's so bad about Kaguya anyway? She hasn't been around that long, and I find her a nice break from Madara and Juubi.

One dimensional villain who came out of nowhere. Personally her appearance without foreshadowing makes perfect sense when one considers that Black Zetsu was messing with history. So I kinda like that aspect of the character but personally I'm neutral.

So it's safe to say Fairy Tail won this week....by default.
