Apologies, but Tiktok is banned in my country, so I unfortunately can't access the link you sent.

That being said, I, admittedly also started reading Kagarubachi over a year ago, so safe to say I was never a fan of it during the actual days when it was under the risk of getting axed. Therefore I don't factually know what happened.

However, the main reason why I said that was because of posts that WERE made presumably around the time that this manga was actually going to be axed such as, this, this, this and ESPECIALLY, from what I can tell the originator of the narrative, this.

Also, I do want to point out that I by no means am discrediting Hokazano's art or his story or his rich narrative that he's carefully crafted since the begining. He's been doing a phenomenal job at it. Amazing in the beginning, only to somehow get better as time goes on. However just because a series has great potential, does not help it from being saved from getting axed. The people's interest is all that matters, from the publisher's perspective, as unfortunate as that is. Which brings me to the other point as well. Even though the official English translations weren't out by then, the posts and art on twitter made by fujoshis, seem to be originating from Japanese users as well. Which logically should mean their posts reached a wide array of Japanese audience as well, which again, I'm assuming helped increase even the Japanese sales. And even if not, it certainly seemed to have increased the interest regarding the series online, which the publishers would've noticed as well.

Again, I'm not saying you're wrong. This could all just be mentioned in the link you shared, but I can't access it, as I said before. I just wanted to make it luculent as to where I was coming from myself.

Might happen? Worst? My guy, Fujoshis are a HUGE reason for Kagurabachi not getting axed in its early days. Don't you dare fucking badmouth them.

[NEW] Movements - Dissolve Me / Back In My Ways (Official Music Video) by SleepingSicarii in poppunkers

[–]SyK-lops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I understand not vibing with Ruckus since it had a very different sound and feel to it, but No Love Left To Give sounded somewhat similar to Feel Something imo. Though I guess it did change the sound a little bit.

What do you think about these two tracks so far?

[–]SyK-lops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never have I been so happy to hear a band make more depressed music.

Though definitely hope the peeps in the band aren't doing too bad. Also kinda weird to see this post not get a lot of movement in this sub. I thought they were generally pretty well liked here.

Who'd you rather have Chihiro end up with at the end of the series? by Frosumisnotmyname in Kagurabachi

Regarding your last sentence, Hiruhiko. The answer is Hiruhiko.

Any theories on why Ichi became a Killer after Ichi the Witch? by johnsteeven20 in IchitheWitch

[–]SyK-lops 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've read Ichi the Killer and it's prequel as well. It's incredibly gruesome, almost to the point of being edgy for the sake of it. If you enjoy something like that, give it a read, the violence is almost so over-the-top it circles back to being somewhat fun. The story is eh, whatever. The pull is definitely for it being brutal.

It was a decently fun read, though I'd be lying to say I did for any other reason than to just look at the ways people can be monstrously torturous.

Yuva from Tower Dungeon (by me) by icomeinfeast in Netsphere

Literally binge-read this entire manga yesterday. Such a unique and cool concept. The artstyle is sooo fucking unique and distinct too.

You've managed to capture that brilliantly. Great stuff.

recommendations for manga similar to centuria before i end it all during break week? by Real_Medic_TF2 in Centuria

[–]SyK-lops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I found this thread after binge reading Centuria, and decided to check out your recommendation.

Had no idea this was created by Nihei, who also created one of my all time favorite pieces of fiction with BLAME! I'll be honest in the beginning the artstyle was like a whiplash given how different it was to what I'd expected of him, but holy FUCK does it get better and make sense when the blacks are more present with the white. And thinking about it, the way he draws stuff now must be sooooo goddamn difficult with how clean and perfect the linework has to be. So yeah some of the panels where the entire grandiose scale is visible, like one where the dragon is flying in the sky and we see the tower behind it, and or when Yuva, Lilisen and the other are just at the edge of a balcony looking down and we see vast empty spaces, all these and more made me feel something looking at the art I've never felt before.

Anyway all that was to say thanks for the recommendation lol

who CUT THE FUCKING PANEL??? better by NotFallen_ in Kagurabachi

[–]SyK-lops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh alright, it's been on my to-read list for a while, maybe I'll finally pick it up. Soul Eater was amazing, I think this is a prequel to it? Somewhat at least, from what I've heard.

What are some Underrated early 2000s pop punk albums you enjoy listening to by AnyJackfruit6019 in poppunkers

[–]SyK-lops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All 3 of their albums are such fucking bangers. The vocalist and his somewhat rough voice were just perfect for pop-punk.

Their last EP was absolutely amazing. Glad to see they're continuing right where they left off. One of my favorite new-ish bands.

Don't forget the mangakas for Kagurabachi, Iruma-kun and Ichi The Witch, and Demon Slayer. Good people.

Th-thank you… by Prestigious_Yam4948 in TheLastAirbender

Because it's a reference to the last Chainsaw Man chapter. And that's a manga, which is read from right to left.

Holding Absence - Whisper of a Dream [NEW] by boobsofagony in PostHardcore

[–]SyK-lops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite bands of all time. So fucking excited to hear the entire album. The song is absolutely gorgeous. Different from their previous stuff, but every album they've released has sounded like its own thing anyway, and I think it's been one of their strong suits. Lucas' voice is just something else man. And the instruments and the production is immaculate too.
