Also in Bleach did they do more of Kenpachi's backstory yet? If not I'm willing to bet that he is the manifested form of the zanpakuto that he carries around. That's why it won't respond to him, he's literally talking to himself.

I want to enjoy Shaman King Flowers because I liked Shaman King, but it's so slow and early in the story that it's frustrating. Also, it'd be funny if Kenpachi was Yachiru's sword.
Bleach: Something was almost revealed, but Kisuke quickly made sure that didn't happen.
Naruto: D'aww.
One Piece: Is that a hamburger on Welgo's face?

Naruto: D'awwww + confirming that the real Madara is the Aizen of the Naruto Universe. If the first hokage was actually as strong as they're making him out to be, given that he was stronger than madara, how the flying @#%^ did hiruzen (third hokage) not get completely facerolled? And also, Madara just punched a massive @#%^ing hole in orochimaru's use of the first two hokages; "If you know how this jutsu works, you can release yourself from it", second hokage invented it, so... er.... what. it doesn't really matter that orochimaru was probably stronger than kabuto, or that he only had 2 as opposed to however many dozens/hundreds kabuto had, 1st was @#%^ing Jesus and 2nd was the crazy ******* who invented the move, you'd think they'd be able to resist and completely ***@#%^ orochimaru . C'mon Kishimoto, your sh*t is angst and wangst, not punching plot canyons into your own story, that's something we expect from kubo. I am disappoint.
I think the main difference here is that Orochimaru had resurrected the hokages without giving them access to their memories/spirits/whatever. Kabuto just didn't bother with that bit, maybe because he summoned so many at once, maybe because he knew Madara wasn't going to unsummon himself because he knows that Madara is apparently a giant drippy prickbag.

They had enough memory to have a quick conversation with Hiruzen, and the only way it would explain how they didn't completely faceroll with how powerful the first was, that I can think of, would be hiruzen being about 10x stronger than he let on, which, while I won't deny, would feel kind of cheap at this point, given how long he's been dead, unless we get to see him go ******* in his prime at some point.

Fairy Tail: Oh snap. Oh snap. Oh snap. Mashima apparently apologized to Jellal fans in his "planning/spoiler" part of the latest volume of the manga, and it looks like ****'s about to go down. I bet Erza is going to do what she failed to do before the Edolas arc: She's going to fight the army to keep Jellal.

I'm afraid to even think about what that might imply, and I'm not even a fan of jellal. Sure, his magic is pretty badass, but Mystogan (to differentiate between the two, since they're both technically Jellal) is a great deal more badass in my eyes, since, you know, he had no actual magic power, himself, just his staves. I was sad when he got parallel-universed away for good

My take on it: First and foremost, that's about the D'awwest conclusion any fight can get without being completely harem based.
Also: Damnit Sasuke stay in your own manga and don't mess up this one with your whining.
Totally saw the draw coming, but I agree with your assessment. I can also totally see those two 10-15 years older, going at it again for ***** and giggles, and it being akin to what one would imagine Erza vs Mira Jane would be like, or even more. Also, sasuke? wat?

That said, whoever's in charge of writing fairy tail's current filler arc (anime) knows what they're doing. They're not even trying to be serious most of the time, it's basically "Here's Fairy Tail being badass, and lots of comedy, as an apology while we wait for the current manga arc to end, but we'll string it together into a story just because we can."
******* love the jiggle butt gang

You are so boring now. It was probably Zeref or however you spell his name anyway.
As far as this week is concerned -
Naruto: Nothing happened
Bleach: Nothing happened. It was like a review episode.
One Piece: Nothing happened, big bad introduced as Don Quioxete who's name I forget how to spell and don't want to go through the chapter again to find just to correct.
Reboot of Kenshin though, kind of a questionable quality translation. I imagine it's because of the live action movie coming out and they want to cash in / introduce the characters beforehand. Also, the Binbougami Ga anime should come out sometime today, so between that and new comic books it'll be a pretty good day.

We're working our way through the Fairy Tail anime, and we were on our second drinks when we hit the start of the Edolas arc last night. It was like an acid trip.
Then we watched the first episode of Utakoi. I know a fair bit about the Heian, and "loosely interpreted" is a polite way of saying "modernized." The characters personalities and the outfits are probably correct, but the standard of beauty in the Heian dictated that ladies have shaved eyebrows and gray teeth. And some characters have blonde hair.
One Piece: So it turns out that it was a grilled burger attached to his face, and he's been walking around without wiping it off. And he's one of the Vice Admirals.

Just call him Don Flamingo like everyone else, it's easier that way.

Oh hush and check your time stamps before you reply: Jun 29 2012 at 10:25 PM. I'm not capable of coherent thought between the hours of 7am and 12pm, unless I have a medical appointment of some sort. That said, while I AM capable of seeing the resemblance now, I just see it as Mashima trolling everyone who recognizes the hair. He's a cool guy like that.
As for my views on this week's chapters: what lolgaxe said. I'm hoping Toriko, Fairy Tail, Gamaran, and Kenichi don't let me down, too.
Fairy Tail: Yajima saves Jellal's ***, except not. Also, theyah ain't no partay like a fairy tail partay, 'cuz a fairy tail partay don't stop- breakin' ****! Also Elfman and Evergreen.... wow, that is a coupling I NEVER would have expected (you know, if not for all of the massive foreshadowing during the tenroujima arc) and still seems a little weird... kind of like the bizarre relationship that seems to be blossoming between levy and gajeel. Mashima, you love to troll shippers, don't you... As a non-shipper, I find this thoroughly amusing. Natsu/Lucy/Lisanna is all sorts of ambiguous, Gray/Juvia/Lyon is a dozen different shades of one sided (which is pretty funny for a triangle), Jellal and Erza have their apocalyptic romance thing, and Alzaak and Bisca went from being the will-they-won't-they couple to "oh hey, btw, we're married and have a kid." To me, this is how romance should be done. There's no logic to it, it doesn't sound like a romance story, and it's ******* funny.

Fairy TailWell, Evergreen/Elfman has gone from hints to practically canon. Jellal got off - this time. We're getting the weird Levy narration thing going on again, indicating that Lucy's probably going to go missing in the near future. And, OH SNAP it's almost 7/7... Has Yukina joined the army? Was she a double agent all along?
Edit: Oh, and I caught up to Fairy Tail anime. I'm not sure what makes the Jiggle Butt Gang funnier. Their own antics, or how both Erza and Wendy go along with it. I'm going with the Erza/Wendy thing. Overall not bad for a filler arc.

Spoiler fail.

Yea, I'm kind of being cautious in anticipation for next week. Whenever levy starts narrating, you know something's about to go down, **** will hit the fan, etc.

I think it's a combination of the two, but regardless, I'm pretty impressed by this, especially since it's fairy tail's first real filler ARC (they've had 1-3 episode filler stories, but that's not an arc.)
Also this is the 1000th post in this thread, so therefor I win some sort of prize, right?
