Erza is pretty cool. I also remember liking Juvia. The manga itself is very paint-by-numbers though. I liked Rave Master better but then I was a kid when I read/watched that and what I remember most is the opening music.

No, don't.

Bleach is one of the few manga I stopped reading because 1) it got incredibly boring and 2) the art quality dropped precipitously.

There is no reason to read Bleach until it ends, and you can blast through the glacial plot progression.
read, past tense.

I read Ueki like a decade ago so I don't really remember it well, but I did follow Takkoku for a while a bit more recently. It was pretty goofy fun, but I haven't really followed his career. Sucks to hear that was probably the right decision.

I liked Ueki a lot but it was a bit disappointing for the main character to mostly abandon his trash->trees ability.
Didn't the author go to great lengths to make sure that every other power he got was useless?

What do you mean?
I vaguelly remember that series having a gimmick where if you won a match, you got one of your opponents powers, and the main character kept getting the ones that were basically useless in battle

The synopsis put me off immediately and the first chapter didn't change my mind. Not a fan of stories that rely on some sort of "love potion" thing for the romance

What do you mean by "taking her seriously"?

He's trying to become a man worthy of an absurdly strong and fearless delinquent rather than just accepting that she magically likes him and roll with it.
no, the problem is that she magically likes him in the first place. I don't really care about the rest?

Lies of Sheriff Evans is nothing like I thought it would be after reading the first chapter and it owns. I'm glad everyone is looking forward to their respective dates :3:

I actually kind of remember that arc... Well sort of

Gajeel gets a cool moment when he dunks the useless Holy and shadow dragon slayers

Lucy gets ditched by Aquarius to get her rear end totally kicked for the umpteenth time

Laxus beats up an entire guild by himself

That's about it actually
Erza kills a 100 monsters pretty much entirely off-screen

It's not like I'm surprised she's joining the harem, I just thought the dynamic was nice before

I wish more harem stories gave their characters room to interract in non-romantic ways

Well MHA is really popular and the first two seasons consist of the main character, a child, constantly breaking his bones every time he uses his power. I imagine it's even more gruesome in the manga. The anime tones it down as best as it can but it's still hosed up if you think about it.
i stopped watching hunter x hunter after the episode where the 12 year old protagonist gets the vomit beaten out of him while everyone watches. i've heard nothing but praise for the show from people who watched it

you say it's a small step up from fanfiction but that's almost literally exactly what it is: self-insert fanfiction.

I do actually kinda appreciate it. Red Hood basically going I don't want an ending I just want to continue is kinda depressing, but better than going "Everyone live happily ever after" or "Everyone dies the end"
still pretty salty about Marry Grave's ending

In the entirety of the manga (as much as I read anyway) Sakura had like one good fight and she wasn't even in control of her body for most of it

My impression of Black Clover the last time i cared was "this is a shonen by a guy who likes the big setpieces of shonen but hates the parts where they earn the big setpieces"

Its a shame because sword magic is extremely my poo poo
