One Piece 695: the whole crew turn out to show off, and do it in style against enemies who didn’t even have a chance against Frankie alone. A little Bambi vs Godzilla but still highly enjoyable, and I loved the frames of the boys reacting with delight to the ‘robot’ and the girls being totally deadpan. And it looks like the action will go up a notch in…

One Piece 696: End of a One Piece arc must mean a party, and I loved Law’s face. The talk at the end of it also hinted for the first time at how One Piece might finally end: with Luffy confronting Shanks. But it’s a long way off. At least four ‘emperors’…and probably the World Government itself come first.

Naruto 616: That, ladies and gents, is what you call an ass-pull. Naruto went through the crowd powering everyone up with high-fives. Yes, really. Kishimoto has long lost the touch of how to be inspirational. The goodbyes from parents to children were also very forced and artificial. The only interesting pages were at the very start, away from the main action.

Naruto 617: enemies and former enemies praise Naruto for surpassing people. We’ve seen this a dozen times already.
