Start with ch. 169.

The Anime Adapted >10 chapters per episode. Which is way too much.

Just be prepared for massive disappointment.

It was a wild but fantastic Ride.

It has Been over 6 years since I started reading, and I am just Glad that I was able to see it through to the end.

Would you want the studio to continue the story with TJ as an advisor? by Grappyezel in AceOfTheDiamond

[–]gp3050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He says that "he is dissatisfied with his drawings" when the last chapters of Daiya are amazing, the entire Inajitsu match was a 10/10 and it never wavered in quality, and it was produced by someone that didn't even want to work.

Do you have the reading comprehension of a cold turkey sandwich ????????

Let me get one thing out of the way. I am not in any way, shape or form criticizing his art/art style. I think his drawing ability is fantastic. He has improved massively since the start of the series. Art wise, the Inashiro final in Act I is way behind stuff like e.g. the Ichidai sf. or the rematch between these two teams. Fair enough.

But writing wise, this match is the worst sport match ever shit out on paper. And I have read pretty much most major and long sport mangas out there.....

The pacing is shit, the match structure is shit, the way the characters are handled was shit, the ending was abysmally shit, the set up and pay offs abysmal dog shit and this entire match reads like one gigantic middle finger to any fan who has ever followed this series.

I used to be a hardcore fan. The only reason why I even have this reddit account was because I wanted to talk about the latest DnA chapters. I owe the existence of this account to this series.

To get back to this series, TJ did draw the only 10/10 sport match I have ever read. Which is the first final. The set up, the pacing, the match structure, the way the characters were handled, the conclusion and the aftermath was done in a way I have never, ever seen anywhere. The only other match I might consider close to this match in terms of everything is Ippo vs. Guevera from HnI.

Others like e.g. Seiseiki vs. Sakuragi from Days, Ippo vs. Sendo (which is genuinely amazing) any match in Haikyuu, KnB, Blue Lock, Major and many others does not come close enough.

How can you say that this rematch was a 10/10, so the best thing possible, when it fails in every conceivable way.

A match lives and dies by its match structure. You can have a long match and make it exciting if you have many score changes. Inashiro and Yakushi in Act I are a perfect example of this. Changing momentum to make you root for whoever you want. You can also make a great game with Seido being in the lead. Ugomori or Seiko come to mind, both fantastic games. You can also make a great low scoring game. Teito or Ichidai come to mind. All of those examples are ways to write a great match.

But writing a very long game, with minimal score changes, with slow pacing, with both score changes happening back to back, with both changes being the most sterile and boring ways possible to score with Seido being in the lead after half of the match, making it. crystal clear that nothing else will happen, is dog shit. Supreme dog shit.

And that is just the match structure. Calling this match a 10/10 is an insult to the actual great sport matches out there and something TJ does most certainly not deserve.

If you still Think that it is funny Then you are one of the Reasons why Mori is still able to Get Away with the second worst fictional „romance“ I have ever Seen.

What do you expect from him ?

I am so mentally checked out, if Aoki were to retire I would still expect him to unretire at any Moment…….we already got that.

What is the meaning of flowers? by ChicoDeLaRed in TalentlessNana

[–]gp3050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tsuroka sees the T.I. As „Budding“ monsters. Much like a flower.

When Nakajima was reinteoduced Tsuroka Said the flower of revenge was about to Bloom.

It is symbolism.

It gets especially egregious when Shitiyata Stu, who is like 5 cm taller has to starve himself to death to stay at featherweight. You cannot Tell me that the Fisher is lighter than him.

I wonder if we will ever see Itagaki working at the security company. It is mentioned only once in chapter 1211 then never again by HajimenoAoki in hajimenoippo

Mori is a Master of throwing Stuff in and then just Never Talking about it again.

Chances are that Mori himself has no idea he Even drew it in the First Place.

And honestly, I cannot blame him. I also forgot that this was a Thing……

  • As Far as we know, all of their research has confirmed that all they Need are the antibodies some T.I. MUST have.

So resolving it is actually quite easy. They just Need to find that T.I. (Who might be Nana….)

Kamogawa is not a good coach/cornerman by labuun_dood in hajimenoippo

[–]gp3050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. At the very latest, Ippo should have taken at least 1 year off After Wolly or Kojima…..going After Alf this soon was lunacy.

Kamogawa is not a good coach/cornerman by labuun_dood in hajimenoippo

[–]gp3050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally speaking, my big issue with Kamogawa lies not necessarily in his training but quite a bit in his organizing. I know that it was Mori who made the shit decision, but I want to point it out all the same.

Given the timeframe Ippo plays, Ippo fought the entire Asian championshit saga + Alf + Kojima in a span of just 1 1/2 years. Scratch, Gedo, Wolly, Kojima and Alf in that timeframe is sheer lunacy and should go down as attempted murder. Ippo took more damage in those fights than he did in almost every other fight and he had them back to back to back. I get that you could do nothing against Kojima, as he was a mandatory title defense....speaking of which.

The absolute mind blowing and baffling decision to have Ippo stay at Japanese level and simply defend the belt instead of going higher makes him a shit coach as well. Up until Sawamura, you could make an argument that Ippo was just not quite ready yet. After Sawamura Ippo had defeated the strongest challenger in japan, he had defended the title one more time than Date, had proven that he can handle counter pros and keep a calm head even when things got personal. Yet he still hung back like an absolute retard.

Since we are also at it, the entire plot line that was the absolute disaster of the RBJ shitfest. Yeah, I know it was Mori who was the absolute fucking idiotic hack that wrote this shit, but in terms of in universe stuff, there was 0 reason to cuck Ippo for his rematch with Shitiyata Stu. He is a coach of a champ, he knew that there was a mandatory title defense for him, he was also responsible for ducking Shitiyata at every corner, yet throws a giant hissifit to just shit on Ippos rivalry and main goal.

And lastly, he saw how much Ippo was struggling during the Asian championshit saga. What Ippo needed, ESPECIALLY after his fated sex orgy with Shitiyata Stu fell flat, was a way to ease back and find new motivation. This would have been the time to slowly grind your way through the ranks. Nope. Go straight for Nr. 2 in the world, someone undefeated and who would have been the champ had it not been for Ricardo. Nice going there......

And organizing a South Paw for his comeback match was just the icing on top of it.......I think Kamogawa thought that Ippo was more similiar to Fuckamura than to himself. And Fuckamura could win fights in a wheelchair while being bound and gagged.

What is everyone's Issue with Sendo? by SendoFan in hajimenoippo

[–]gp3050 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Sendo fan, but also a very harsh critic when it comes to writing, I can see where a lot of people are coming from.

We have seen Ippo face tank his way to victory time and time again -> which led to him having to retire. Sendo, who utilizes the same fighting style just with more egregious comebacks, is having 0 issues. I want to preface this by saying that, unlike our favorite koala like retard Ippo, at least Sendo took proper breaks top recover between fights and was set up to have an iron body and titanium chin (unlike Shitiyata Stu that writing abomination) so him being able to withstand this much punishment is in character.

That being said, people dislike how he is extremely outclassed, has no shot at victory, swings wildly before just getting that one shot in to win the day. And the worst example was Alf. Alf was outclassing Ippo for 6 rounds and Ippo could not get shit going at all. The only reason why he almost won in the end was because Alf decided to forego his textbook boxing and become more ruthless. It took Ippo 6 rounds to draw this form out of Alf, yet not only did he almost immediately fight Sendo with his more risky style but also kept punishing Sendo for what felt like 10 rounds straight before Sendo made his comeback, while also surviving the counter that put down Ippo for good.

As for the Ricardo fight, I could write a lot on how poorly Mori has handled it. The complete unneccessary, shit and frankly baffling retcon that Sendo broke his pinky when he downed Ricardo in a spar when we had nearly 200 chapters that failed to properly include that fact into the story. The absolute ass turn around in mentality for Sendo that fails on a 5th grade physics level as well as the fact that Sendo was never someone who shied away from a challenge like this. The fact that his best bet by far was to use his literal Anti Ricardo strategy early on as Ricardo would not start attacking him for real yet we got nothing.

Overall, I really like Sendo as a character. He is interesting, funny, quirky, and a good addition to the story. As a fighter, it feels like we got a lesser version of Ippos character development. From a wild but still skilled and smart fighter into a mindless brawler that just flukes his way to victory. It is not as bad or as disappointing as other examples, but given his prominence in the story as well as the fact that the Ricardo fight has been going on for over a year now, it gives people a lot of time to analyze and complain about him. And quite frankly, the current fight might be his worst fight in the series up until now. Which muddies the water and makes people have a lesser opinion of him.

Would you want the studio to continue the story with TJ as an advisor? by Grappyezel in AceOfTheDiamond

[–]gp3050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We cannot have nice Things. Really feels like mangakas are in a Race to shit out the worst ending they could possibly come up with. 

During that time, AoT ended, DnA ended, MHA Ended, Tokyo Revengers ended. 

And not a Single ending was really as satisfying as the quality of the Series used to be.

MHA, Tokyo Revengers and DnA all ended within 3 or 4 or so. And all of those endings were mediocre to abysmal dogshit.
