Yea I get this.
(frieren manga spoilers)
I think we might end up getting more time travel shenanigans. The demons seem to have a complicated plan going on with some of them. And with some of them dying off screen. And that one that knows the future.
I will admit I was very mid on where things were going until the last few chapters

Time travel also isn't out of left field considering we've had two different characters who could explicitly see the future and act upon it. Both the Hero of the South and Schlacht the Omniscient could do it and they both ended up killing each other as a result, with the Hero of the South taking out a couple other of the Demon Sages of Destruction in the process. Just because they knew the future doesn't mean they could avert what they saw.
is no longer suffering. Hasn't been for the past couple chapters. I think the series is just about over. It's currently on chapter 105 and I suspect it'll end up being 108 for... reasons. (Buddhist reasons.)
Though, idk if it was for creative or production reasons but so far s5 has been firing on all cylinders. Shit has gotten real. And they are wasting no time

I kind of like the roughness of it, especially for a flashback like this. It’s not how Oda would normally do things, but it works as a memory that, vivid as it is, still has that haze of memory around it. I could almost see it in animation where the sketches are rough, the movements are “low frame rate” in such a way that they linger and feel like a dream in motion, every sound and voice with a slight echo of remembrance than active presence.
Poly representation, go!
Also "so we need to beat up the sun" is just fantastic.

4 is the weakest by far, then 5 hits the ground running.
It's both the most serious and the silliest(though it's a toss up between S, sometimes).
Which pisses me off, as Oda has nothing to apologize for.
The Shueisha editors need to get their rectocranial inversion fixed (especially after one of their own had a fucking stroke) and realize that their weekly model is a fucking death march that needs to end.
Edit: And Weekly Shonen Jump can stay weekly - all they'd need to do is go to a "blue/gold" model where alternating weeks have alternating lineups. Which would also give more series a chance to fucking breathe and develop.
The question is whether Oda would want to be that removed from the art. There was a good point in the interview for The Mysteries where Bill Watterson pointed out that the model of a lead artist leading a creative team didn't really interest hi, which is why he worked to create a true collaboration for the book.
The racing's good too, I guess.
Its ending does a great job of balancing the potential for a new season (There's certainly plot threads to tug on) against it being just a good, solid end to all the characters of the show.
Also dumb shitposty/semi spoiler:
On the other hand it really is just 8 episodes about how British blood makes you an eldritch demon who demolishes everything and doesn't die.
Ch 129
Also, she has decided she wants to be a floating little spirit creature with a turtle for a head now
I'd like to think that is what it stands for.
Can confirm. Do not sleep on this show. Heads up though, it does contain bloodshed/gore, nudity, sex and drug use. So it's very much meant for adults. Have a clip (NSFW - bloodshed)
That was f*ng sexual assault you just almost did
Chap 64: Oh, good, he's remorseful.
Ch 65: Maomao definitely has avoidant traits, which makes it hard to determine whether she's avoiding her budding romantic feelings towards Jinshi or if she's ace-aro. I think, if the latter, she'd flinch less when thinking about him.
It's a very good series.
I went out and got a bookmate sub so I could read the novels. It's ongoing with 9 novels. I'm currently reading book 7.
Just FYI, the squeenix manga app hosts it (for a high price), but doesn't have all the chapters released so far.
I'm going further and completely refusing to accept any other meanings
As much as I love their stories there’s a strong argument to be made that Ishinomori and Tezuka set a horrific precedent with how many pages they were pumping out of their studios on the regular.
And even they were basically abusing the hell out of their bodies to make that happen, something that Shigeru Mizuki (GeGeGe no Kitaro, Akuma Kun*) once wrote about in a short comic about a meeting with them during a publisher-hosted party:
*which now has an anime adaptation on Netflix
Yeah, this.
You'd need to make some adjustments to the story telling approaches, but fuck, that's not a bad thing.
Honestly at this point I'm of the opinion that manga benefits a ton from the monthly approach (more room to breathe, less need to pull dramatic cliff hangers), and western comics do a lot better when they're on some kind of every 3 months cadence (whatever shape that takes)

It's cool when the guys get big, or when things combine with other things.
