It's a lot of fun. We've had a few Persona related discussions recently, the series is a great spin on the collecting and building teams RPG mechanics.

Sifu is crack too. I still can't beat the final boss. I can reach him with 4 or 5 deaths to spare, but can't get past him. The arena mode they added had me playing it like crazy, so I tried again and I'm still giving up way too many years to the last few bosses. But I'm gonna beat it someday.

Frieren is too good...this power system is sooooo dynamic and fun. Watching how monstrous Frieren is, I wonder what match-up would give her the most problems. Ubel's twisted and badass again. I love how the different skillsets and combinations tied together.

Also, I've heard that they did a lot of expanding on the action, and I'm grateful. This is one of the only action episodes that can hang with the best from JJK and Demon Slayer IMO. The animation was that epic.

They turned one small panel of Fern and Stark dancing into a highly detailed 2 minute ballroom dance sequence. It's honestly absurd how blessed us Frieren fans are right now. :lol:

If you love Ubel and Land, the authors blessed the fandom in the manga last week. I would definitely advise picking up the manga to continue the story because i have no clue when season 2 will come

I'm 100% picking it up. I'm just waiting for the season to end. It's truly spectacular.

Watch this.



Mexican DragonBall fans are in a class of their own. They're in a bar getting lit up and cheering on Goku and Freeza like it's a Canelo fight.

I just finished it a week or two ago. Basically I disappeared from the world for a month or two. Great game.

Kinda scared to pick up persona 3…can’t afford to give away my life on these video games too often :lol:

:lol: fam, it took me a LONG time to get past the club. But I felt like after I had the club down, the next couple of levels were easier to wrap my head around.

I know the arena mode says to wait until you've beaten the game, but there are some challenges that act as really good practice. They have a few missions where you're not allowed to block, so you HAVE to master parrying. I'd suggest trying those missions out, because if you can get good at parrying, everything else builds out from there.

This week was so bad. Like, it's become repetitive and disjointed, and the action was really hard to follow.

I guess the author wants off this ride. Can't say I blame them, but hell this isn't fun to read anymore.

Thank goodness for Kagurabachi and RuriDragon dropping some quality work this week, those chapters were refreshing.

Alright, we had lots of love for DBZ...any Dragonball fans here?

I was surprised how much I loved it as a kid. Toriyama had such a good grasp of drama back then as well, and it was fun watching Goku fight in a bunch of tournaments with Jackie Chun, and Krillin and Yamcha being more relevant, Tien being a huge ass monster, and Mercenary Tao just wiping the floor with Goku

Goku vs Krillin, Goku vs Jackie Chun, Goku vs Tien's series of fights, Goku vs. Tao, Goku vs Demon King Piccolo and Goku vs. Piccolo Jr. are top tier fights in the entire series.

Like the hell that Demon King Piccolo put Goku through was when the series began to shift from DragonBall to DragonBall Z. It was brutal. The scene where Goku discovered Krillin's corpse was crazy. The fans who never bothered to check out DragonBall are missing out.

I would love to see the original series remade with this style of animation



Goku was a straight up killing machine as a kid. That's the funny part about the Red Ribbon Army returning in DragonBall Super...like why would you want any more of that??? :lol:

I'm really glad it wasn't just a meme manga, this has legit a ton of potential.

BRUTHA.

Spoiler:
When Shiba put that teleport move on Zenitsu's er I mean Hakuri's brother and took him mid air, I lost it. That was raw. And Hinao with the genius set up move. She's such a fun character.


I feel like almost every week there's a moment where the art and choreography just punch us readers in the face, and make us beg for more. That final spread at the end of the chapter with Chihiro taking on the Tou by himself...goddamn. i love Hokazono.

Zuma is a good kid, I've enjoyed him and Momo's adventure in Jumanji/Candy Land.

Dude was raised right. I hope Granny Seiko lets him eat his fill at the post mission dinner party.

Edit: Eat his fill of whatever is being served for dinner. That last comment sounded sketchy.

Did you see the last public picture of him? He looked so young man :cry: but from his own words, he seemed to know that his health was failing.

Hopefully by now, he's reached King Kai's planet for training
