All the talk about how MHA's bonus chapter ruined the most popular fujo pairing got me thinking, does anyone here think we'll also have a bonus chapter in the last volume of JJK? Volumes 29 and 30 will be released at the same time on Christmas Eve or Christmas so it's going to be very soon.

shamelessly bumping this thread because i just binged all of the post-shibuya manga over the past two days and i desperately want to hurl my ramblings into the void.

firstly, i started season 1 on a whim a few weeks ago, thought it had a really good hook with the first few eps but my attention was wavering through the mahito drama (which just felt oddly paced to me). then i forced myself to binge through the school exchange arc just so i could be done with it, found it fun enough to start season 2, and instantly got hooked on gojo/geto. and i was genuinely upset. i spent the past several years acting like i was above fotm shonen fujoshis only to walk headfirst into the brainworms. i haven’t been this way about a pairing since my early teens, to such an extent that i felt genuinely betrayed over the initial kenjaku reveal (despite the fact that normally i love skinwalking shit like that in stories). also the alleyway scene at the end of zero made me physically nauseous. i’m unwell, nonnas.

and that was about a week ago. as previously stated, i just finished the manga (i even did the last 70ish or so chapters in one go) and my feelings are all over the place. i don’t really understand the outrage i remember hearing when the ending first got leaked. it was more just inoffensively bland, imo. essentially a paint-by-numbers shonen ending. very cliche but i’m not necessarily mad about anything. other than the like, ten page lore dump on the blue shadow style or whatever. the fuck was that. and i guess earlier on i expected more closure and/or emotion from post-prison realm gojo about geto-slash-kenjaku, but all the characters seemed to get progressively more stoic towards the end so maybe i was expecting too much. which isn’t much, honestly, considering everything i’d heard beforehand.

but all in all, it was a fun time, i’m excited to see it get animated, and i do genuinely respect the fact that gojo died and stayed dead (save for the yuta thing). he was a walking ex-machina for most of the story and i felt like his death really legitimized sukuna to set up the final battle. i’m also delusional enough to see the whole yuta-using-geto-slash-kenjaku’s-ability-to-transplant-himself-into-gojo’s-body as some indirect brainsex thing.

and finally, i’m sorry for the long-ass blogpost and for any 6:00 am typos.

Happy first Anniversary!

Oh, damn, already? Happy Anniversary!

Who’s the pink hair guy?

>niconico’s blocking a bunch of shit so I can’t listen to the fujo Rin song
Fuck

>>3598
I hate how buff he is, bleh.

>>3599
I actually did see some twittroons get mad at the word lmao. However I was surprised how well it's being received! But this artist somehow manages to be well beloved even though they seemed to have popped up like late last year?

I wish Mads Mikkelsen were cast as Grindelwald from the beginning, he's exactly what I expected from the character based on what we already know in the HP books. Whoever decided to cast Johnny Depp deserves nothing. If JKR herself wanted him in that role I'd be very disappointed in her, regardless of Johnny Depp being an abusive degenerate because I heard about his role in the movie before he got sued by Amber Heard and already avoided them on purpose until the third one got released. I wonder when we'll get more movies, I heard there were supposed to be 5 of them but I assume it's complicated based on, well, Johnny Depp's scandal, Ezra Miller's own criminal record, several of the actresses not returning or barely having screen time in the latest movie because they were pregnant, etc. I want more old man yaoi. Unironically.

My sample may be skewed but it kind of looks like HPDM is more popular with Western fans now, it seemed more equal/leaned towards DMHP before. I have an inkling it's because of one artist though I'm not sure; her art has a lot of likes compared to others so I'm sure it swayed some people.

>>3432
Do you have specific tastes or something of the sort? HP is the only series I can reliably go to if I want good long fic so my experience is the opposite.

>>3501
Not a ribafag myself but I can link some if you're still interested.

>>3513
I wonder if Hideo Kojima reads Grindelwald/reader fics and self inserts…

>>3591
I actually got filtered way back in 2016 when I bought the first volumes of the manga just based on the premise as soon as they got officially translated where I am and found the beginning too slow for my taste compared to how I earned a lot less money than before at the time so I couldn't buy all the volumes on time to keep up and I didn't want to read scans because I just kept seeing spoilers for anything I ever looked up online. The slow beginning isn't entirely a bad thing though, it helps make the stakes higher by proving more context.

Now I'm just hoping the ending isn't totally rushed because the last completed manga I read JJK and it's the exact opposite, it has a rushed beginning, the middle is pretty good, it's obvious the manga artist knew what he wanted to show and tell from the beginning and was putting hints here and there all the over the manga and even prefectly connected it to his previous manga which was supposed to be a oneshot, then it's like he had to hurry up and finish the manga as soon as possible while forgetting to conclude a lot of important things he introduced not to keep things mysterious on purpose but because "oops I forgot about that" according to himself. It's safe to assume Noda knew where the story would go from the very start because of how Ashirpa is supposed to already have all the hints to understand the tattoos but after seeing it's sometimes not enough to be able to show a satisfying ending I'm still a little worried now.

>>3592
Yeah it's not bad, it just pales in comparison with how fucking good the rest is.
The premise itself might also alienate some too, since it's basically just a treasure hunt. It's almost irrelevant for the enjoyment, because what makes GK great and what the series is focusing on are the characters, dynamics, character developments and the action/comedy combo that should be a treat to everybody that likes classic western, action or slap-stick movies. Thing is just that manga fans that haven't read it don't know that yet.

The other problem is probably the anime adaption. Most people choose the anime if they want to get into something that has both and because of the CGI bear, the mediocre animation and the fucked pacing the anime gives off a bad impression. I myself postponed the series for years after watching s1 and only considering it a 6/10 "great premise and characters but badly executed, not sure if fault of the anime or manga too".
I recommended the series to a few people and all of them watched it instead of reading it and told me it wasn't that good and gave up on it.

>>3593
The anime is pretty bad yeah, I talked about how I started it but didn't finish it in this thread earlier because the pacing made it seem like everything was happening so fast it was nonsensical. I'm more into manga than anime in general so I started with the manga very early, tried the anime a lot later and now I'm reading the manga again. It's a shame the anime isn't as good as it could have been with how popular the manga is. The voice actors are pretty good, it feels like a waste. It reminds me of how I feel for the Eyeshield 21 anime, the manga is excellent and the anime is ass, doesn't adapt everything, but the voice acting was so good I forced myself to watch most of the episodes back then.

>>3586
Yes! Would love to see him acting erratically and lose control. I want to see him try to fight his insticts and fail. Just one moment he's pouring tea, and the next, trying to hide a growl or accidentally shape-shifts, or loses concentration in some goofy way.

>>3586
Oh my god that would be so perfect and dramatic

>>3586
It could happen, right? His whole thing is how he wants to eat Ciel's soul because he's so mentally fucked up or maybe because he could be related to Undertaker, who knows it would taste good, as opposed to eating other souls that would just taste normal. Maybe Sebastian is developing a supernatural eating disorder without realizing it.

Do any other anons still play this game? The new world is coming out soon, hopefully there'll be some good fujobait.

I'm not going to torture myself with those awful missions or that dumb deer. Oh well, once again, no Lightning because I refuse to touch Sevral.

A real shame, I genuinely enjoyed him as a guest character during the trailblaze mission where he joins. Lightning feels like a legitimate requirement for some encounters and Moze simply doesn't work being single target only.

I wonder if they'll shape Phainon up to be like Firefly (in regards to MC shipping/self-inserting aspects, not just meta). Even with barely anything right now it's doing more for me than DanCae though I'm barely interested in HSR shipping in general honestly.

>>3510
I don't have any Lightning DPSes either, I've been coping through the game with only my JL and FF kek, can still clear endgame content well though.

>>3494
Thanks. I'll try the anime instead.

>>3493
Totally worth it. The last episodes of season 2 were the most intense of any anime i've ever seen. Plus anime kaiji is qt

Getting obsessed with big nosed men manga for the cuteness of a 70+ year old blood-draining tsundere villain was definitely not on my bingo card when I started Akagi in the late 00s but here we are.
I am glad that fkmt manga are popular enough to spawn spinoff series for the villains and that the fandoms for his big old hits are still alive, even 15 years later. Bless Fukumoto and his autism. That guy has a crazy talent for dramatic climaxes and infodumps that are actually interesting. Even the series that are solely about games never bore me for a second.

I admit I also find most of his characters very relatable, even though his series feel like they were written for middle aged men with midlife crises lmao

>kirikami topping bakugou
I see your vision. Bakugo healing.

>ifunny
Everyday I loathe google reverse search.

>>3573
I used to also imagine kiri>kami>baku train because it was fun to see a twink like kaminari topping bakugou, but now he looks so confident he would make even kiri bothered while kirishima is the one sandwiched between them even if he's all buff (and bakugou would still be the bottom train kek)
It was sad how they always made kaminari too much like a weak whiny bottom so it's nice to see that Hori shares my same vision, maybe now that they are matured big boys I can read more juicy fics
