Again, objectively a good thing Oda is taking time off when he's in good health as a preventative measure, but man it's gonna be rough only getting 1 chapter for the next 5 weeks.

I guess I'm gonna hold off on Dragon's Dogma 2
I hear the core game is good, but the performance issues plus scummy DLC stuff is putting me off. I'll wait and see if it gets better, but I can wait.

It's like, it's just enough for me to have noticed, but I'm not so invested in the game that I'm really looking into it, I just know there's a bunch of day 1 stuff that sounds like it should just come with the game
Hopefully it gets straightened out, but I'm not in a rush.

Re: OT The Nerdy stuff Thread
Solo Leveling really popped off this week
I've been waiting for my boy Igris to show up, and they did not disappoint
Not as good as Frieren's fight scenes of course, but that show is built different
Be kind of a weird spot to end next episode if that's the season finale. I've seen some people speculate there's gonna be a second cour, but I don't think so, there's no official announcement of that and there would be by now
It's like Chainsaw Man, even with good pacing 12 episodes isn't enough to actually get into the story but oh well I guess. I'll look forward to season 2 when it comes out, it's a really popular series and the anime did a great job adapting it.

But the voices are like bad impersonations of the classic, and it throws me off. I'm hoping it grows on me over time. Plus it's hard to see Cyclops reverted to his good guy phase when the comic version has come so farSpoiler:
I rate Invincible over everything else stateside. Which is some BS, because all they'd have to do is copy the DC formula of actually adapting the most beloved comic stories. Jonathon Hickman's Avengers and Secret Wars, then House of X and Powers of X would SMOKE everything if they got a decent animation studio on board.
I feel you
Wolverine isn’t as bad but rogue is mad off.
I’m going to watch it cause the end of the day…..it’s the X Men. And they seem to take it serious.
Invincible is good but they will never be the X men cause they don’t have Bishop lol
I'll definitely keep watching. It's like hopping in a time machine with how well they matched the animation. Rogue's definitely the worst of the voices . Storm and Jubilee are the best. Wolverine's not bad. Gambit, Cyclops, and Jean are rough, but not as bad as Rogue.
Bishop is by far my favorite character design, and he has one of the best origin stories IMO. Ironically, his original design would have been way different (modeled after a Filipino billiards player).

Frieren and Apothecary Diaries both ended on high notes.
Frieren:
Apothecary Diaries:
Thank God April is stacked, because losing both these anime for a while sucks. But the best part of both finales is how they announced plans for more. Imagine starting a career directing anime with Bocchi the Rock and Frieren as your first two lead projects....Keichiro Saito is gonna be an all-time great.
Also...Dungeon Meshi continued to be an underrated gem of the season right through to the end. There feels like a lot more hinted at behind all the humor and gags. It's genuinely funny, and the world is more well-though out than 90% of fantasy landscapes.

Kagurabachi and Ruri Dragon are just such good reads on a Sunday. Hard boiled sword action and some adorable slice of life (although i think there's going to be some action down the road as Ruri's powers continue to grow).
Refreshing. It's a good combination.
Jujutsu Kaisen is a disaster right now. Never seen anything like it.

I think Saito is already in GOAT status.
Bocchi the Rock! and Frieren are both two of the best series of this decade, without question. Having those under your belt at this stage...it's kinda exciting to see what he does next.
Hopefully he tosses his hat in the ring for Kagurabachi's adaptation. I wanna see what he can do with something real hardcore.

The Boston Red Sox have partnered with Toei to have a One Piece night at Fenway this season.
Meanwhile, i guess at Yankee stadium we'll have to settle for Marcus Stroman bobblehead night.

Man is a damn genius, is what he is. He played those roles really well. Butcher is such an @$$hole and he pulls it off...totally different from Eomer.

Can I just say, I think the scans of One Piece and JJK sound better than the official translations
Like, I don't speak Japanese so I can't say for sure which is more accurate, but in the latest OP chapter, "It is hard to single out a lone insect when you're exterminating the hive" is just so much cooler than "One does not attempt to step on insects, it simply happens"

That was a hard diss and it's literally the first thing that i thought of when i heard that line
I mean at this point Naruto and Bleach fans have to concede. Both series went off the rails towards the end. Oda is GOATed.

We do have to see how it ends though. I wasn't in the fandoms at the time so I can't say what the general feel for them was heading into their final arcs. I have faith, but Oda could fumble at the goal line.

I would be stunned if Oda fumbled.
I feel like Naruto and Bleach got hit with outside interference in the end (Jump forced Kubo to wrap it up quickly, and clearly a decision was made to turn Naruto into a zombie franchise with Boruto). One Piece has the audience and clout for Oda to end this on his terms
