For me

1. Gurararararara
2. Yellow Monkey
3. Blue Pheasant
4. Doflamingo
5. Mihawk

Obviously those first 3 he doesn't know yet!

Ctes is addicted to the absolute greatest anime ever:

One Piece!

Can't believe we've only gone through 3 topics >_>

OBVIOUS FUTURE SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE WEEKLY SHOUNEN JUMP/MAGAZINE LINEUP. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Mihawk
Crocodile
Doflamingo
Kuma

That is if Crocodile would still count. I also have't seen anything of the latter two yet, almost.

You're about 1/5 of the way to the greatest arc in the history of manga.

I'm closer in the anime. Halfway through skypiea.

We didn't even gone through three full topics since topic 2 and 3.0 got purged.
But I'm glad to finally have a 500 topic even if it WAS a discussion topic. >_>

I started the small weekly topics last year and those never even lasted more than 50 posts. I'm surprised we've come this far!

Finally a new D.Gray-Man chapter after months of breaks.

Should I be ashamed for knowing what kaizoku means?

Man One Piece songs are even better in full versions!

RUN RUN RUN! is goddamn awesome. It was my favorite ending before, and now? AMAZING!

Mo like One Piece topic 4.

That said, I've never anticipated an anime game before. Like, this is part of a real series!

Every entry has hit american shores too, so there's really no way this doesn't right?

yeah I think every Musou game has come over here so there's a good chance!

I think there's even a better chance after that PS3 Bleach game came out here last month. I thought that had no chance of coming here.

That's why I added a touch Toriko to the title!

Yeah but One Piece is the best for me, and I'm not watching any other shounen atm.

--

Toriko master race imo.

But One Piece was in the title for the last topic, we need some variation.
Unless it's related to 4Kids One Piece, then that'll be perfectly fine!

--

I've never said One Piece should be in the title.

4Kids One Piece has actually been giving me some good laughes, just because it's so goddamn terrible.

Well there's usually lots of talk about other series as well, just not for me, this topic just started with One Piece I guess. Besides just start talking about other series if you want.

--

And One Piece really is just more important.

Toriko is definitely like...1B to One Piece though so it wasn't such a bad idea!

Of course One Piece is more important!

I kinda like how the anime decided to give one or two episodes to the side-storys iinstead of the coverpages. That gets you more into it. Like I don't care one bit about Coby and Helmebbo after one page.

There's usually not much to talk about during the week so OP just takes over I guess! But come Wednesday and we get into the good stuff!

I think right now OP is in a slump. I'm not too pumped to read it every week, but that's probably because it came off from the best arc in manga history. I'm usually looking forward to Naruto and Toriko each week, and Bleach is like just there because I need to finish it >_>

Prediction for the rest of the year:

Naruto > Toriko > Bleach > OP

One Piece doesn't always excite week to week because he manages to pack so much into the chapters and it reads like a story instead of a spot fest, but One Piece > everything.

Behold the majesty that is Doom. Feast upon his greatness, and know you will never measure up.

The one thing annoying me about One Piece now is that a timeskip just happened and instead of showing what happened during those two years he introduces us to several bunches of new characters.

--

BlAcK TuRtLe grabbed the Guru victory, slow but steady.

Except he pretty much showed what was going to happen for those two years. Sure we didn't get much specific, but it's implied that the Strawhats trained their arses off to get stronger.

"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

Also, if this Pirate Musou game gets an American release, how far off do you think it is?

--
"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

But specifics are what I want to know!

But specifics are what I want to know!

And alternative point is that they had just spent HOW MANY chapters doing the flashback about Luffy/Ace/Sabo.

Did we really need to do more flashbacks about what went on during those two years, or did we need to see the new Strawhats in action?

I know which one I prefer!

--
"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

I don't mean about what happened in the span of those two years. And not really in great detail either. I want to know what was in that letter for Buggy, for example.

--

I'm suremhe has all such stuff planned and will eventually get it all revealed.

I know, but I'm still really curious.

I dunno. Something about the TS bugs me. I think the reunion would have been much better if they had time to get together and all party and talk. Not exactly top tier stuff when you introduce a weaksauce villain that needs lipo right after the damn game changer of a war. All this racism stuff better play a bigger role down the road or Oda will have wasted this entire arc.

I mean I would have loved some chapters covering the current world events right after the TS as well. FI is just so dull.

People were complaining about the Whitebeard War arc too until all hell broke loose. Be patient IMO.

--
"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

Nah no one complained about that o_o

Everyone knew the buildup to that and were on the edge of their seats. I remember each week everyone was just drooling at the epic fights.

I don't doubt Goda, but sooner we get out of FI the better. It used to be OP>Toriko>Naruto>Bleach for me!

of the one's I currently read/watch


One Piece > Toriko > Ippo > Fairy Tail > Bleach > Naruto

OP, Toriko and Ippo excite me every week in both anime and manga form (wheres my 3rd Ippo anime grr grr etc)

Fairy Tail and Bleach are always fun atlhough I prefer the anime to the manga for these two

Naruto I don't really care much about the characters anymore like I used to and I'm just in it to see the story through to it's conclusion. I have a hope it'll all be over within the next 2 years so I stick with it.

Hmm I'm pretty worried about the Fairy Tail anime being cancelled like the Rave Master anime was; the manga's only one arc ahead now =\

Jump #40 (12/09):
Sket Dance (Cover & Lead Color Page)
One Piece
Naruto
Gintama
Bakuman
Kurogane (Color Page, 25 pg.)
Toriko
Harisugawa in Mirror world
Medaka Box (Color Page, Results Popular Contest, 23 pg.)
ST&RS
Bleach
Inumaru Dashi (Color Page)
Hunter x Hunter
Reborn!
Nurarihyon no Mago (23 pag.)
Beelzebub
Kochikame
Kuroko no Basket
Magico
Enigma

Rankings of issue 40. Ignoring the placement of manga with color pages, which obviously has an advantage over the others, I'm not surprised Toriko dropped from the top three. OP is as strong as ever even at its worst arc ever, the Japanese are mesmerized by Oda. Bleach made it out of the bottom! The shinigami really did make a difference huh? And lmao Magico, if it's that low, I can't imagine how bad Enigma is.

The chapters are from ~8 weeks ago. So the Bleach increase had nothing to do with the Shinigami, the chapter ranked was from before they showed up.

Speaking of Bleach, the new chapter has a really horrible translation out now. Worth sticking through it for the last page.

Something something something
^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig

Naruto and Bleach is out. Crappy Raikage fight, his hype is ruining everything. Tanking Rasenshuriken? That's bull. On the other hand Bleach is awesome. Kenpachi domination. Those Fullbringers are hilarious if they think they can compete with the captains.

It is? I thought we were at like issue 44 or something. Well that still explains why Toriko is lower than expected.

Kenpachi the toppest of tiers
