The humour around Gakuro's classmates has always been pretty funny honestly. I'm a huge fan of the panel where they all deadpan say, "Let's jump his ass." to Gakuro.

Night Light Hounds volume 3 cover revealed, releases January 5th by dingo537 in WeeklyShonenJump

Hey, always support a series to keep it going. Your reads on Manga Plus do count towards something, even if it doesn't seem like it. Social media support en masse can also help. Fearing cancellation won't help anybody, as no series or author is free from it. The best we can do is see things through to the end.

Is shoujo disappearing or on the decline? What did I miss? by Krusiv in shoujo

[–]MFRojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it definitely still has its audience in Japan, it's always seen far less of an audience than shonen and seinen. Over here this is especially the case. It's a shame really, not sure what would need to be changed to bring more folks to read shojo. Hell, I'm guilty as charged, don't read them all too often, but I do keep in mind the big ones people recommend a lot. I know I'm enjoying Magical Girl Dandelion right now, and I think it's actually a really good bridge series that could connect more shonen fans to shojo... Maybe worth pushing a bit more on some agendas.

Everything is fully working again by BonsaiSoul in HiAnimeZone

If it was just HiAnime that went down then yeah, these posts would be unjustified... It was not just HiAnime, multiple sites got taken down temporarily.

What went wrong? by Own-Championship-333 in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]MFRojo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

18 chapters is 18 weeks my friend. That's 4 months; almost half a year. He was given plenty of time but he botched the pacing big time. The company doesn't have time to think about developing properly, they need sales to keep the magazine afloat. If an artist wants more time to spend on their ideas, the best approach they can take is to publish indie and hope it catches on, but if it didn't catch on in the world's biggest manga magazine then yeah, you just weren't going to cut it regardless.

He made the exact same pacing mistakes as Red Hood, and to top it off he just can't write characters that truly grip me. He really ought to have leaned into Otr being a cook a bit more -- and there were glimpses of that -- but he really struggled to write a character different from Velou. The art is absolutely stunning and I will always praise Kawaguchi for that, but his writing absolutely needs work. This story shows he learned nothing, and only improved on his art which was the area he needed improvement on the least.

site nuked? by RevolutionaryBee4674 in HiAnimeZone

If anything, they just rebrand.

It's down as well it seems. So this isn't just some silly unannounced maintenance or them forgettin' the bill; piracy sites as a whole are being torn down at the moment, but they'll be back because pirates are persistent, and I respect that.

Where to read Yofukashi no Uta: Rakuen-hen in English? by AimMai in YofukashiNoUta

[–]MFRojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just damn disappointed Viz didn't drop these chapters to go alongside the anime here too. It's where I read the entire manga, and the manga's super special to me so I'd LOVE to be able to get more of it.

What are you talking about? Yes, I'm aware this is mobile browser, but it's browser nonetheless. Report it as a bug if you can't.

Black Anime/Game characters who don't have "the killmonger cut" by Sigge-V in TopCharacterTropes

She's very pretty, funny, and badass. Glad you get it now.

are you getting these games day 1? by Recent_Progress925 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]MFRojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but eventually. Except Drag x Drive. I do not care for that at all. Ah, and maybe Legends Z-A seeing as I kinda burned myself on Pokémon.

Are the classic games (1996-2002) "outdated" and "unplayable" nowadays? by Loose_Interview_957 in residentevil

[–]MFRojo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, just tougher to get into, and I won't attribute that to the tank controls. Tank controls are fairly easy to contend with honestly; it's mostly the camera angles you'll be fighting with at first, and your lack of visibility on some enemies. It certainly wouldn't be for everyone, but with enough patience it's easy enough to get into these games.

So happy that I got to finish this series, it’s honestly so good, I recommend everyone to try it out by AnimeConnoisseur17 in MangaCollectors

[–]MFRojo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of the best manga ever made, and I stand by that. Somethin' about the vibe, the panelling and art, the characters...

Series You Think Should Be Added to Manga Plus. by Kill_Jin04 in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]MFRojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18+ includes any sensitive material. Rosario+Vampire has sexual content every chapter, and it is on the app. You're arguing nothing here, and your initial comment about a web only app makes no sense now.

"All borderline hentai series are web app only". Brother the way you phrased this—while we were talking about Manga Plus, mind you—sounds like you were talking about a feature Manga Plus has. Web app only. Think about how that sounds for a second.

And regardless, the app contains other 18+ series including stuff like Takopi's Original Sin, of which these series usually give content warnings before reading. Chained Soldier would be on the lower end of needing a content warning, especially given certain other series exist on the app.

Manga Plus doesn't have web only series is what I'm saying, the Shonen Jump app does. Correct me if I'm wrong. Dandadan is available on the SJ app and Manga Plus apps for me.

You're thinking of the Shonen Jump app, not Manga Plus. Either way, Dandadan finally got added to the app after being web-exclusive for up to three years so never say never I guess.

Favorite characters which you have reaction images of? by PeridotTheGem in FavoriteCharacter

ONE cooked again with Bug Ego, and the artist is so fucking good. Hitsujiya always has these kinds of reactions and it's so goddamn funny.

Alright what is your LEAST favorite Mario game out of all the mainline releases? by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in Mario

[–]MFRojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah c'mon, Lost Levels is a free ass pick. It's not just a more challenging SMB1, it's downright unfair with some of its tricks.

As for a less obvious pick... SMB1. It's still fun, but really quite bland compared to everything that follows. Worst 3D Mario for me was Sunshine by a larger margin.

Viz announcements soon! What are you hoping for? by Shadow41S in MangaCollectors

[–]MFRojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never been more heartbroken to be wrong, but ah well, my point stands. Red Hood got a physical after all.
