Berserk is amazing.  It has rare depth for manga that center around combat.  It switches gears many times, as well.  Just know that it does not hold back in the slightest.  Death is everywhere.  Torture, nudity, rape, everything that you would expect if that world were real.  It's the middle ages if it had real demons.

It's the same thing I keep saying to a friend who is currently interested into getting more on animes/mangas, he asks me for recomendations and I can't stress enough how much I recommend Berserk, while making this clear as well, that it really goes everywhere and doesn't hold back.

He is currently watching One Piece (fucking finally, has been 4 years I've been telling him to do it) and he said once he is finished with it he'll start doing some mangas (he usually goes just for the anime, but I'm pulling him to the manga world just as well!) and Berserk will be the first (then Vagabond and Kenichi, both my recommendations on this thread XD). Berserk is soon to get another lover XD

Lol you weren't pushy enough it seems, got my friends to watch Jojo after a few months :P

But yeah the more Berserk lovers, the better. Manga deserves it's recognition.



 

Okay, I'm recovered. At least until I read Nisekoi for the 7th time.  

Bleach: "LOL My Keikaku is bigger than your Keikaku."

Not much else to say.  I wish Kubo would step his game up for the ending...but eh...I'm not surprised at this point.  

One Piece: Sanji's dad is a bastard. I suppose this is good setup to watch Sanji kick his ass later. I'm so looking forward to that.  

Nisekoi: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM~

I know, it was obvious for a long time, but it still blew me away. I've been daydreaming how this scene would go ever since I first got into this series, and seeing it happen still turned me into mush. Chitoge giving her confession, preparing for further heartbreak, only for Raku to explain his true feelings. It was...I'm still reeling.

The last two pages were absolutely amazing, and I teared up reading it at work. Chitoge finally showing her face and then confessing with all her might...and Raku to accept. "These feelings aren't fake". The artwork was amazing, it's obvious Komi put so much heart and soul into this chapter. 

I'm sure it sounds cheesy at this point, but after investing so much of myself into this fictional pairing, it feels really really great to finally experience this payoff. I'm flying so high right now!!!  

Now to work on my next set...*adjusts glasses*

It's just that he wouldn't do it because of the big amount of episodes, though delaying it only made it bigger in the end, lol.
This year I finally convinced him to start with it, though he'll watch a lot, then stop for a good while (which irritates me XP) then get back to see it again.

He currently started the 3rd of this cycles, last time spoke he had just finished Water Seven/Ennies Lobby and was finally very hyped with the series, he liked it before but just how he finally loves it, and I kept telling him that would be the time he would become a true fan XD

Lol that huge number is always what scares my friends too, but usually when they start it, they finish it really quick xD

One day, I went to his house to play some games and then I showed him the first episode, since he's not too big on Manga anymore(huge one piece fan though) and after that he was hooked, the very next day he had already binged Part 1 and 2 xD Now he might read Part 4, since he's all caught up in the anime. He's a huge Souls fan so I tried to get him into Berserk too, but it being so explicit Is a real turn off for him so that didn't end well XS If the anime wasn't so bad, I could probably get him into Berserk though.

if he can't get into Berserk you should break your friendship asap! XP

I don't really force that one too much, since I know he wouldn't be able to handle "certain scenes". Maybe with the Berserk game I'll be able to get him into it XP

The Seven Deadly Sins 185 - Escanor is a freaking MONSTER!!! Can't wait to see what happens next. Like who is going to defeat this dude?

Fairy Tail 495 - FINALLY Gildartz has arrived! I was like what the heck where is he! How can he be M.I.A at this time!

Hajime No Ippo 1148 - This New dempsey roll has me so hype and seeing all teh work being put into it makes it so much better! I wonder who he will fight in an actual match for his comeback and will he use it during that match.

Tower of God 288 - Ba......wait does anyone here read Tower of God outside of me? If not you all should!!!

So In two days I read the whole 100 chapters of Boku no Hero Academia and boy is it good !
Not only there are powers never seen before (or at least slight changes from the regular sets of powers that appear in any shonen) but the plot is on point and many times I thought "Oh, wow, this character is gona die, 100%" just to be disproved in a few pages. Of course it follows the regular steps and clichés of every shonen like the "training week" or the tournament.
Positive reasons why you should read it:

-Nice Art (All Might in particular);

-Middle ground violence;

-Characters put strategy in their fights, it's not just a matter of who has the biggest abs (or at least not usually);

-Good commedy and references to pop culture;

-All the characters are made to appeal/not appeal to a wide range of people, you'll find characters you like and characters you hate, but you can see it's meant to be that way...

Negative reasons why you shouldn't read it:

-Forgettable names for 99% of the characters, I have problems to remember even the protagonist's one, I'm lucky I know Zelda so I associate him with it since his nickname is "Deku";

- Sometimes you'll say "WTF is everyone talking about" (might be due to the translation I read beeing poorly made, I noticed quite a few puns that weren't pointed out in the Italian translation I read making it impossible who doesn't know a little of english to figure them out);

-Fanservice solely revolves on Mineta, not that big of a deal since there weren't that many Fanservice moments in 100 chapters (while the 100th ended with one lmao), but still it totally ruins Mineta's character making him both forgettable and anoying at times;

-Excessive use of Recovery Girl by the protagonist.

I do read tower of god. I couldn't describe it if I wanted too though. Good series though.

Oh cool so then I can reply to you! So have you figured out exactly what Baams abiility is? Because it is like he has bottomless potential? And what do you think is going on with Kaiser that no one has defeated him? I wonder how much stronger or different Baam has become after coming back from the Rice Pot again. And we have another Arie swordsman already....very interesting.
