I have tried to read Gintama several times, each time I get a little farther in, and each time it keeps not getting interesting.

Gintama is one of those rare animes(I never read the manga)where the fillers are actually better than the arcs/plot.


 
Nope.

Hmm, wha? Actual insight? Oh, ok. So, it has an interesting enough concept. But the characters are flat and the plotting is rudimentary. It is, after all, written by the Michael Bay of manga.

Damn JBS the Michael Bay of Manga...rough..though out of all his works the only thing I've enjoyed was Helling, he's more like a one hit wonder in my book. But agreed on your Drifters statement good concept terrible execution.

I don't know who here keeps up on One punch man but I've enjoyed this tournament arc quite a bit, mostly cause the art and humor has been top notch.

So, is Luffy going to team up with Capone or does he just create himself another enemy?
 
I just saw that Gundam Wing is getting an bluray release in the US. I haven't watched the show in probably ~12 years at this point but still have the old-school DVD boxed set kicking around somewhere. Might have to dig them out and see how well the series has aged.

It will be interesting, Big Mom was going to betray Germa and probably has a history of betrayals herself and Capone seems like a snake as well , Luffy once teamed up with Crocodile so wouldn't put it past Luffy to make an alliance but Jinbe's description made Capone seem more hateful.
 
That's cool they are making a Gintama movie. Actors look the part!

I'm the opposite. The fillers slow me down. It could be because I'm not a huge anime/manga fan so I don't get most of the parody in the shows. So far when the fighting arcs show up I get more excited. I'm only on episode 64 though. I've slowed down big time over the past couple of weeks. I've watched only a few episodes during that timeframe.
 
Pretty sure Luffy is just gonna go ape on Capone when they meet.

He agreed way too easily.
 
Fucking tree flashbacks.

Anyone else feel like George is just kinda at a lost for where to go at times recently? I know in the last year or two he's gotten sick from time to time so that may be part of it but still
 
Anyone did read the first chapter of Dr. Stone? Looks interesting for now, but I can't help but think it will end up like those generic mangas.

I read the first chapter, it's by the guy who wrote eyeshield 21 and that was fairly decent, it'll be interesting to see where these next few chapters go. feel like this is one of those mangas either it''' have to good early or just be mediocre entirely.

I've felt that way since Ippo lost his last fight to that Mexican guy, can't recall his name but this whole "oh crap is Ippo punch drunk" story arc just feels like he did that just to try to find a way to continue the story.
