The whole reason they killed the Quincy clan is because Quincy stuff obliterates souls instead of purifying them, which was causing massive imbalance in the cycle, and when the Shinigami tried to ask them to stop with the whole "potentially upending the world" stuff they refused and had to be stopped by force.
None of that came through in the final arc.
Didn’t the soul society also deal with the situation with some serious scumbag tactics as well?
Stuff like “oh, no, we got to the site of that massive Hollow attack far to late to keep them from overwhelming and eating that family of Quincies that called for our help! If only we’d been faster.”
Or “What? No, I don’t know where Captain Mad Scientist was yesterday. I’m sure he wasn’t out kidnapping Quincies to experiment on; that would be wrong.”
Granted, it was Uryu telling the story, but to hear him tell it, the Quincies were the ones who offered to work with the soul reapers, who in turn refused and adopted a zero-tolerance attitude to the Quincies fighting any hollows at all, even in a cooperative effort with the reapers.
Considering Soul Society had Aizen and the Mad Scientist and so on active at the time, it would have been excessively easy to muddy the waters and make both sides wrong for the final arc. The final villain should have been someone the age of Ichigo's dad who witnessed the massacre when he was Ichigo's age. Do a backstory arc on THAT and delete the confusing and terrible one about Ichigo's TRUE PARENTS (dun dun dun) instead. And stop making your shonen hero God's son, it should not have to be explained how that ruins their arc.

Self isolating is giving me a chance (forcing me?) to watch a lot more stuff. I want to recommend the Madoka spinoff, Magia Record, from this season. It's based on a mobile gacha game but I'm astounded by it. What should be some kind of cheap cash-in comes off more like a full budget reprisal of the series. The animation retains the jaw dropping weirdness of the original show and there's tons of unexpected animation flourishes and creativity going on all over the place. The new character designs are fun and the monster designs (I'm not saying witch designs for a reason) also pop quite a bit. The one thing it lacks compared to the original so far is a determination to psychically scar the viewer, BUT there is some legit weird and sad stuff in there, so the tone isn't off point. So yeah, check it out if the idea of gacha spinoff sounded bad. It's really entertaining so far.
The manga really hit a slow point during the desert arc. "Are they EVER going to get off... er out of the desert??"
yeah one piece really drags at some points I agree
No it doesn’t
Everyone loves spending 750 chapters fucking around with gladiator fights on Dressrosa
The gladiator fights were legit dope though. It's more like all of Big Mom stuff that was boring.
Every one piece arc is slow when read week to week, and blazing fast when read all at once.
The final panel of this week's is goddamn priceless, though.
Samurai 8 is getting its final chapter this week. No news about new series. Next week has a one-shot by the Promised Neverland guy, which kinda irks me because I feel like his working on something new might factor in the pacing issues? Of course, I'm not sure if it's the author or artist.
I don't think there's an azur lane anime out yet? I guess they're making one. Year of the big budget "we have all your money" gacha anime victory laps I guess.

There is, but it's not focused on story so much as pure fanservice

this is such a specific type of late 80s early 90s j-pop that this is emulating.

I mean, most of the old testament is ripe for battle anime.
David and Goliath is as shonen as it gets.

The Jesus Buddha apartment thing was, as I recall, pretty charming.

These kids are alright.
I have never read it but now I am curious.
There was a one shot called Let’s Bible I saw about ten years ago that was basically this.
Wasn't that the one where Jesus was a hot chick?

It suffers greatly from not being able to just go every other season.

There’s already an overarcing plot that could be adapted.
