I don't know what's hip in the anime world nowadays so take a half-assed poll about the show I watched last.

...I ran out of real characters halfway through the poll unfortunately.

Looks like Crest/Banner of the Stars was licensed by J novel club.

...too bad that Banner of the Stars volume 5 literally only came out this year because the series has been on hiatus. >_>

Tokyopop had already licensed Crest of the Stars 1-3 (what the first anime/manga covered). I only have volumes 1-2 since I wasn't able to get the third before it went out of print.

edit: I think the plan is that they're going to release the print version of Crest of the Stars 1-3 as one volume, so it won't get released for about a year.

I swear, this blonde noble shit kid in Wise Man's Grandson is being handled by a completely different designer and animation director than the rest of the show.

And wooooooow not the direction I expected that to go. Quite the tonal shift.

And then the after credits scene kind of ruins it.

I completely blew past this part in the manga without a care and barely remembered it happens.

Crazy how well it was executed here.

JUMP WATCH

The first casualty of 2019 is ne0;lation, a bad manga. However there will likely be more because four new series are starting in the next four issues. Likely more new series will eat the dust, unless something more established (##endfoodwars) gives way.

The first one is a samurai series being written by Kishimoto, drawn by one of his old assistants. Also there was a to-love-ru one shot. I don't know if anyone cares about that.

Isnt Food Wars getting another anime season? Its gotta end eventually, but I could see it lasting until then if so. I dunno much about whats currently in Jump so I dont really have any guesses for what could be ending. Maybe Yuuna or is it still hanging on by being the only ecchi series Jump has?

Hinomaru still hasn't ended yet either and it's getting pretty close. It ranks consistently higher than Shokugeki or Yuuna though.

First quarter or so of this week's Hitoribocchi was probably the best it's been so far. Enjoying the show but it starts to grate a bit when the jokes which weren't originally funny get bashed in your face.

Penguindrum ep 2 was fun. Looks like apple girl is probably a yandere type and the main antagonist for a bit aside from the penguin thingy? Really liked the atmosphere of this episode, the spying was well set out and made you think while releasing information in a slow but steady drip and giving you all the necessary hints to work it out yourself. That's the sorta mystery stuff I like. Still no closer to knowing anything about the Penguindrum, though. I assume the diary was from the aquarium too, since it had what looked to be fish on it? Probably something fishy about that aquarium. Something like whatever you buy from there grants you one wish in exchange for finding the Penguindrum for it. Apple girl is definitely aware of it, to some extent. She has penguin drawings, keychains, etc everywhere.

Caught up with the One Punch Man manga.

This pacing is, uh....something.

Also, very odd of him to just chage the way that robot looked between chapters because he wasn't feing it, with no in universe explanation...

I heard that going in and it makes me want to check out ONE's version ASAP.

Obviously it's hard to compare between medium's, but on pure story standards I would take Mob Psycho based on the anime over OPM based on Murata's version of the manga right now. There's just way too much stuff here that's all flash and no substance around characters I do not care about, even though it's hard to argue about how good it looks and how impactful that is in a vaccum. It's just way too stretched out.

I'm curious as to where the anime will get in season 2. There's so many in between bonus chapters that cut into the middle of ongoing scenes I would assume would get cut.

I should check out the MP100 manga.

I love Murata's art, but it's tough to say it balances out how incredibly slow it is in comparison, especially during the post-S1 material.

And for now my favorite actual part of the story is webcomic only so I'll wait to see how the webcomic handles it when it catches up.

OK, WOW.

I just checked out of curiosity. The chapter ratio for up to season 1 of the anime equivilant seems pretty close, but after that....Murata's version takes about 60-70 chapters (up to date) to get where ONE's does in 20. That's something else....

Caught up with ONE's version. Went back to start from the beginning of the current arc first, since there's at least one significant difference.

Yeah, I think that's definitely the better product where it really matters. Not to say Murata's doesn't have its own very obvious strengths.

Yeah the fights themselves are pretty dang cool, but it also embraces the weaknesses of the genre instead of parodying it.
