One Piece 973: Some final clean-up. Hopefully this doesn’t lead to yet more
flashback. Seems unlikely, though. I’d probably have been more impressed by the
revelations of this-current-character-was-that-past-character if I’d been more
engaged by this whole storyline. But frankly I want it to be over and to get
back to the main story!
Agravity Boys 12: oh man, I hope we get an anime of this show. This was a wonderful,
old-fashioned, unoriginal but perfectly-done comedy of errors. I absolutely
loved how it unfolded even if I knew Grislow would pass out from the start.
Chris having his own misunderstandings about Grislow’s behaviour was also hilarious,
and that terrible sight when he woke up had me laughing out loud.
Dr. Stone 142: Off to America, eh? This rocket plan did seem absurd logistically,
but now they’re going to revive most of the world’s population? I do wonder how
this will develop – and presume it won’t go exactly as described. I suspect
things would just get much too complex if they did. But certainly I’m curious
about what’s to come with this reliably fun series.
Chainsawman 61: old man Kishibe is so cool. This series can definitely do stylish when
it wants to. Characters are so well-sketched so fast. Interested to see what
happens next.
Haikyuu!! 385: Yeah, it’s pretty inspiring to say that Hinata could through his
sheer will, talent and skills earn his place at the highest level but it still
doesn’t really seem convincing. I guess largely because he can’t exactly do
supernatural things to show how talented he is, but real-work skills just don’t
seem that impressive. Oh well. I suspect the opponents will rally and win this
set for added drama.
The Promised Neverland 170: This whole arc continues to feel like a
stumble. Ratri getting out with that many guns pointed at him just seems dumb.
And I don’t think he’s going to be a convincing endgame boss at this point.
Mama betraying him and taking over sooner would make more sense.
Guardian of the Witch 6: still very generic. I feel like most of the good series
at the moment would have covered this in about 2 pages.
Samurai 8 41: I guess it’s kinda nice for Nanashi to come back, though it’s
totally out of nowhere. But then, so is whatever Hachimaru is doing now. There’s
just no stakes or emotions if new random blobby powers can just appear out of
nowhere…
One
Punch Man (manga)
128: As usual, it’s Saitama’s parts that are really enjoyable, even if they’re
only a few panels. Interesting how they made it look like Tatsumaki actually
might have been overpowered if not for the distraction – a little more
indication that she was holding back even in that circumstance would make more
sense given how much of an impact it makes later when she’s not untouchable
after all. Still, this arc is about to really get good, and I’m waiting
eagerly.
