SALT CURES HAM posted:So, um, which version of FMA should I be watching? I've seen the first chunk of Brotherhood (up to about the point where it breaks off from the original) and it's pretty great, but I've been reading bits and pieces about the original and it sounds... kinda batshit insane but also really dope. Watch Brotherhood because the original FMA anime turns into Sho Aikawa's usual "poo poo on the characters as much as possible because heroes deserve to suffer" bullshit.

He's also responsible for the abortion of a show that was Eureka 7: AO, which took two of the most likable protagonists ever in Renton and Eureka (along with one of the most feel-good ending ever) and completely shat on them. He's a hack writer completely dependent on an awful shtick.

Three of those are terrible  The problem with Aikawa is that there is no real meaning or lesson behind Aikawa's cruelty other than "gently caress heroes, they're poo poo." It's lovely, spiteful cynicism that puts characters through hell just for the sake of doing it. Oh Snapple! fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Apr 18, 2014 |

It started off fairly interesting and then became just completely and totally mediocre. Or at least that was the general response to the anime. I dunno about the manga or whatever.

Sindai posted:It's kind of eh. Also the manga is still nowhere near caught up with the anime, which was nowhere near finishing the story, so it feels like it could be a decade or more before it's complete considering it's monthly. Yeah, I remember some time back going "Oh, I haven't checked in on the manga in a while and want to see what's happened beyond the anime" and then enjoying some big time disappointment upon finding out just how far ahead the anime was.

Yeah I really, really enjoyed this first chapter. From what I can gather, this actually started a couple of years ago and JB decided to pick it up, so I want to assume it maintains quality if it was decided to start on it at this point.

MHA has had the problem of both not being particular interesting to me and making some very questionable narrative choices; issues that have been heavily compounded by it sharing reading space with perhaps one of the strongest periods One Piece has ever had (with occasional appearances by an a loving great HxH arc).

Sounds like you just got weary following a 21 year old series tbh. I cant agree with any of that, and in general WCI and Wano have been incredibly well received. Even tbp, the dude who spent literal years complaining about every single chapter, has loved these two arcs.

I'm close to thinking that OP is just kind of bad now rather than something I've grown kind of bored with, I've held out for about as long as I've been able to take. It's you.

I feel like it really needed to do another werewolf hunt as they traveled to take the entrance exam, as a better look at what to expect from those now that Velou could no longer count on his own familiarity with an area and it's people. Idk how effective it would have been but this exam just felt way too early.

Last Celebration posted:I dunno Jack poo poo about the Ayashimon author’s last work but I’m super onboard to watch this weird hosed up shonen protagonist find a world where he can live his best life (by brutally massacring demons) and also maybe learn how to do all the cool moves his favorite heroes do for real like the Kamehameha and whatever the move is when Kenshiro implodes a guy real good. Jigokuraku/Hell's Paradise is really loving good and you should give it a read!

IShallRiseAgain posted:Kimetsu no Yaiba being such a huge mega-hit is so baffling to me. Don't get me wrong, I think its good, but I feel it lacks anything that makes it really stand out. Only explanation I can think of is that Tanjiro is different from most protagonists in the Shounen Jump magazine. I think it really excelled at its emotional moments in a way no other manga in the magazine other than One Piece manages to do, and did so pretty consistently.

Anyway I will genuinely be baffled if Ayashimon gets axed. I feel like it's done pretty much everything right that a new manga can do in terms of early structure; it has fun characters, some great gags, good fights, and I find the syndicate interesting. Just very much a "what the gently caress" for me if it's doing so poorly it gets cancelled.

chefscientist posted:loving sucks, but also I could honestly imagine this artist being hampered by being in Jump when Jump+ probably suits them better. On top of that I think a lot was made out of the elements that were present so far, but on the other hand I don't think Ayashimon had that much room to grow and develop. It is possible to get a good amount into making a story and realize there's just not many places for it to go after all. I can kind of agree with this but at the same time I also wonder if it might be due in part to the author feeling like they had to rush poo poo (for apparently good reason).

Yeah when I think "squandered at the start", I think Red Hood. Not Ayashimon, which consistently did the right things early in terms of introduction and progression.
