    I think JJK has some great characters, but the author is too interested in a mystery box approach("what's their ability!? don't worry, I'll figure it out at some point...", by his own admission in liner notes, not to mention random new faces popping up all the time with no explanation), though it's easy to gloss it over with high octane fights like that.

    Just makes me sad that the talent isn't applied in other areas of the story, and worse, that amazingly talented studios are throwing bodies into the furnace to make adaptations out of them.

    I actually just started it earlier today and i've nearly finished ep 3. It's pretty fun! It's not anything like special or unioque, but it's nice to have a VR MMO... that's actually about gaming, and just... a well made game. It's fun!

    Yeah! That's been my takeaway from it too.

    I like it quite a lot but it's not been anything revamping the genre. It's almost like a slice-of-life anime, just with the video game being the bulk of the "life" if that makes sense.

    My brother summed up our feelings on it with, “I know what playing an MMO feels like.” We were both wondering, "what's the hook?" I watched all of Bofuri with my sister, and we liked it as a low-stakes slice of life comedy because we could always look forward to seeing what/how Maple was going to break the game in the next episode. I just don't see what the hook is in Shangri-la. Geoff Thew seems to like it though. I could watch a few more episodes and see where it goes but something else has come up...

    Ryoga is more than happy to seek directions from people. He's just so untethered from reality that you tell him to turn right at a corner and he ends up on the other side of the planet.

    It doesn't help that old people keep teaching him secret mining-tricks that make him immune to all physical barriers that are supposed to limit his possible paths.

    Okay, let's talk about Undead Unluck, which I love dearly. There will be some spoilers, but I think it is impossible to talk about why this series is worth checking out without spoiling some early things first, so I recommend checking out spoiler sections, I am not going to spoil any major edevelopments or plot twists anyway.

    How the story begins:

    18-years old Fuuko, cursed by terrible power of bringing misfortune to anyone she touches, is ready to commit suicide to avoid bringing suffering to anyone else in her life. At that point she meets Andy, half-crazy immortal man that wants to die, but is unable to. Seeing destructive potential in her power, he at first abducts her, then forms partnership with, in order for her to gain more control over her power to finally kill him for good.

    They also start getting chased by The Union, mysterious organization that both hunts ability users like them, while also employing them. To make them stop chasing after them, Andy decides to just kill 2 of their main agents, so he and Fuuko can take their place in the organization.

    Why is beginning of this story, in my opinion, terrible:


    1. First few episodes have a lot of cringeworthy humour based on Fuuko being straight up molested by Andy, which is pretty goddamn off-putting, considering that they are the main pairing of this story. Fortunately, as if by touch of a magic wand, after few episodes this element of the story disappears completely, and never returns. The change in tone is so abrupt, that I have no other choice but to suspect that focus on fanservice and perchy jokes was caused by some editor and not the author himself.
    2. First few episodes, while introducing main characters, and some major plot concepts, like abilities (called Rules here) and their users, does not really show what this story is REALLY about - we need to wait for Episode 5 in order to learn, what will become the main goal of the characters.
    3. Plot development of those first episodes is rather inconsistent with what we learn later in the story.
    What I mean here is the fact that The Union, sinister at first, is ultimately a force for good, and is made mostly of characters that are all about Power of Friendship, being NAKAMA, etc., which makes it really jarring that Fuuko and Nady murder two of their companions... and no one, besides one person, has any problem with it. Author himself is aware that it does not really play well, and tries later to justify it some more, but YMMV on if he suceeds on that front or not.

    Now, that we have ugly parts summarized, let's move to why I fucking love this manga.

    The Setting and Main Plot:

    Spoiler for things that we learn only 5 episodes in:
    Main concept of the story is that there is A God. God is the worst piece of shit in the history of storytelling, that not only grants powers to people at the exact worst possible moments, so they can cause the most suffering, but also sends to the Earth UMA-s, supernatural beings representing Rules themselves, or some other concepts.

    The Union, justifably pissed about it, wants to murder God. To do that, they work on Quests given by malevolent talking book Apocalypse, that are mostly focused on killing / capturing UMA-s, and rewards given for that vary from artifacts, to knowledge about locations of other ability users, to opportunities to make The Union bigger, as only limited number of people can take part in quests.

    The setting is shamelessly video-game-y, and I love it, it is basically a roguelike game, in which Union leader choses quests that give the best rewards, while trying to improve their home base in order to challenge even more difficult quests.

    What is more, UMA-s themselves are pretty interesting, because they REALLY are the rules they are representing. If UMA arrives on Earth, its concept gets introduded to the world immediately, and no one is aware of any change outside of the ability users themselves. In the same way, killing UMA deletes concept it represents from existence. If UMA Ice Cream gets killed - no more eating ice cream for any of you.

    The Fights:

    Once I wrote that I learnt to despise Jujutsu Kaisen, because while I consider the point of fights in the shonens to show character development of main heroes, or to allow them to show some previously unknown part of themselves, JJK author takes the opposite approach, and considers characters themselves to be a necessary, but unwanted requirement in order to show the fights, because fights are the only thing he truly cares about.

    Undead Unluck, meanwhile, perfectly embodies what I expect from the fights in the shonen stories, as every single fight here is focused on showing what characters can do, and what characters can do is based on who the characters truly are, and how do they see themselves and the Rules that they are using.

    What is more, do you remember that one One Piece fight, in which all Strawhats fight together against a giant enemy, and need to cooperate to bring it down? A fight that is very well liked by everyone that saw it, and yet we never see a teamwork of this kind in OP ever again? Well, Undead Unluck, on the other hand, has almost only fights of this type, as straightforward 1 vs 1 duels can be counted on the fingers of one hand - instead, we are constantly seeing group combat, and the fun comes from seeing what kind of crazy synergies can be found when using supposedly underhwelming powers. It never gets boring.

    The characters, the beating heart of this manga:

    As I wrote above, while JJK author treats his characters in disposable way, UU author, meanwhile, seems to truly love all of them, and it really shines through when reading the manga. Outside of exceptions, about which I talked about earlier, every single character so far gets a lot of focus, even if sometimes we really need to wait a long time for their turn to arrive. Characters are not very deep, but they are interesting, they are larger than life, and they are ultimately very easy to root for.

    The main star is, which may be surprising, Fuuko.

    Fuuko at the start of the story is a damsel in distress, whose role is to panick around and get angry and Andy. We do not need to wait for a long time though for her character development to begin, and I am sorry for overhyping, but it is truly glorious. Fuuko is, in my opinion, the absolute best female heroine ever seen in the Shonen Jump manga, thanks to the way she is being written, and thanks to her relationships with other characters.

    It is pretty difficult to write a good "good" main hero. It is easy to make them boring. All-loving type of main character, when done wrong, can be too bland to truly like (Deku from MHA, I am looking at you), and even if author succeeds, there is often still something missing (Tanjirou from Demon Slayer is much better than Deku, but he is still not the most fascinating protagonist ot read about).

    Fuuko, meanwhile, is probably the first character of this type that I truly love, understand, and want to root for. When Fuuko declares that she is going to use Power of Friendship on some enemy I am not considering it childlish - instead, I am all "fuck yeah, befriend the shit out of them!", which is not something that I ever expected to be writing about before reading this story. There is no denying that empathy is the main selling point of her character, and she is spectaculat at being empathetic towards others.

    She also grows to be a true crazy awesome Gigachad, but elaborating further would be a spoiler too far.

    The pacing, the genre jumping:

    UU is one of those mangas that to not waste time of its readers. There are only 2 arcs that are longer than 25 chapters, and vast majority of them can be more often considered to be mini-arcs, as they rarely take up more than 8 chapters or so. Plot moves forward with the speed of sound, which is also sometimes something that is easy to mess up, but in this particular case, it words very well, even if some plot points deserve some more elaboration.

    Thanks to very random nature of the setting, it is also very easy for the author to write different kind of challenges for main heroes, so it would be a disservice to call UU a "boring" shonen manga, in which characters only punch each other and do nothing else. We get a little something out of a vast majority of genres, so we are never really sure what to expect when starting a new arc.



    I would like to write even more, but that would require serious spoilers, so this is where I am stopping. I can only hope that I managed to convince at least a one person to give this series a chance, because I would really love others to also enjoy it as much as I did.

    Fantastic pitch on Undead Unluck and completely agreed about it

    Also seconding the sense that the gropey lechy shit from the start was being pushed by whatever editor was assigned because it really does just disappear fast, like around the time the Spoil arc starts if memory serves.

    Dandadan at it's core is just a guy and a girl that are pretty heavily crushing on each other at this point dealing with supernatural and sci-fi shit that they get caught up in as a result of their meet-cute where they each dared the other to investigate the topic they didn't believe existed.

    it's a stylistic mash up, because she kicks someone clothed at one point and in her underwear later on.

    Season 2 of Arknights (Perish in Frost) ended over the weekend. It's better but still suffering from some of the same issues from season 1. I'll compare and contrast.

    Season 1: The main plot is easier to understand (much less wordy), but cut down in places. Stuff the game horribly fails to properly establish to new players is put front and center with stuff like establishing shots (imagine!).
    Season 2: Same, but the censorship became pretty heinous this time, as the darker elements are key to understanding what is actually occurring in the story, but their restrictions or timeslot or whatever it is makes this resemble a 4 Kids translation at times. More on this in the third section.

    Season 1: The combat is truncated or missing.
    Season 2: Still a present issue, but improved.
    Length spoilers, not really plot spoilers in this block.
    There's an exciting battle right at the start that's wildly more exciting than anything from the game's VN storytelling. It speaks to the promise of realizing the game's levels as coherent animation and not just tower defense gameplay. Later, there's a sequence that was basically *impact sound effect, character says a sound effect, repeat 4 times* in the game turned into a visceral and scary monster attack (literally, lol) in the animation, probably the single most improved scene in the series so far. However, what should have been a pre-finale standout sequence (fighting through an entire building of zombie troops) got chopped into a single brief skirmish on a rooftop. Likewise, that cool fight I mentioned at the start of this section actually should have been the climax of being hunted by increasingly large groups of enemies with dangerous and annoying abilities. Generally speaking, the game's story includes a lot of "you skirmish with this group for a time, then that situation comes to a climax", because it is a game about running short lived battles. To its detriment, sometimes the battle doesn't even make sense in the context of the story, it is occasionally fair to ask "Who is fighting who right now??" VS in the show, they've pulled back too far on combat occurring to the point where show viewers have no understanding or expectation that one of the main characters is a genius battle tactician because they trimmed the 12-15 battles per story chapter that confirmed this attribute. The game player also comes to have a relationship with the bosses from having to battle them several times, learning to respect or fear their special powers and enjoying the pre and post battle promo cutting both sides do. In the next arc, the sneaky enemy lancer boss, W, becomes a completely different character, with a TON more depth. She appeared one time in this entire season, and not to do anything important, I feel like that's going to be a huge loss of impact vs having to deal with her in combat several times and in the story A LOT.

    Season 1: Instead of battles to the death, there's a whole lot of punching and kicking and shooting guns and swords out of hands. On the upside, this approach does make certain things make more sense (when is a kill on a boss a KILL and not a defeat they scurry away from? See also, when a good guy Operator is beaten, but not killed outright vs when they ARE actually killed.) On the downside, this is usually very silly looking and doesn't represent the world of the game very honestly.
    Season 2: Have to jump into spoilers for this as its the whole plot of the season.
    So this arc takes a turn for the very dark, as the government of the city the battle takes place in uses the military invasion of a minority group (that they knew was coming and were fully prepared to deal with) to commit a full genocide of the afflicted slums of civilian members of that same infected group of people. They use the cover of battle to commit a massacre and then dump the bodies in the sewers. In the end, the good guys discover the cover up and all cut ties with the government responsible. Except in the show, they make it clear people are being killed, but not the scale of it and the precise reason and scheme of the killings and the results. It's innuendo and becomes very confusing if you don't know what lines to read between. One character warns not to look in the sewer, then another character looks and is upset by something, then the principal character arrives, looks, and is very upset (by something stinky). They confront their boss while using no proper nouns, "I can't believe you've done this, that you went so far!" Likewise, the big battle that starts off the season is joined because the attacking army captures everyone in a city block, slaughters them, piles up the bodies, and lights them all on fire. In the show... they burn the symbol of an X into battle damaged buildings? Maybe they're occupied? The audience is deliberately not shown, but again, an upsetting smell is said to be present and one character reacts in over the top horror which is a bit much for what we're seeing, which implies more is going on.
    The content restriction is so harsh, you kind of should read the Crunchyroll user comments under the episode to even understand what just happened, which is CRAZY.

    More notes from being a fan of the game first:
    They put all the Penguin Logistics people on a bus off the show in the first returning episode, which was personally very disappointing as Texas and Exia are some of my favorite Operators and they didn't do much but appear in the background in the first season. But the purpose is clear, the idea is to focus on a whole new group of Operators. But did that work out in practice? Eh... The Scout team of Jessica, Meteorite, and Frostleaf gets focus for their big scene (but none of the build up) and then they don't do anything else after that. Blaze and GreyThroat have their moment and both get to do some cool things, but the way things are paced, Blaze doesn't get a proper showcase until the FINAL episode. I was all ready to complain that they wasted her completely, but I'll hand it to them, the last episode was super cool. All this pulled focus is put into the LGD characters, but more specifically Ch'en and Swire (Hoshiguma fades into the background midway through the season, despite being the coolest of the three). Ch'en is an extremely important character and worth all this focus, but I will literally never be made to care about the comings and goings of Swire. Based on how the story goes for this part, it's pretty necessary to focus heavily on Ch'en's arc, however I am disappointed that a show based on an ensemble cast of appealing characters is relegating 90% of them to cameo roles that by and large could be swapped out with any other character.

    Tl;dr, it's entertaining as a show and better than experiencing the game's story in many ways, but it is being chipped away at by the extremely bad judgment of what kind of rating or timeslot was appropriate for this story. I hope they at least get a part 3 for grand finale of this part of the story.

    Been reading a ton of the Shangri-La Frontier manga and this is actually... Really good! It's just plain fun, it has a sense of stakes and scale, but it's also chill because it's just about friends enjoying a game. It's also got a great sense of why MMOs can be cool, and the sort of scale of game.


    Also it's blissfully free of fan service or otherwise being creepy, which is really nice, if depressing that that's not the standard.

    The other reason it's fun is it goes into why people like the different games they do

    Like this fighting game is so buggy it's got a tiny, tiny playerbase.... Who love it because it's so buggy the bugs have become part of the meta

    Or this game is really good quality, but has an immense learning cliff due to its controls, which keeps it's playerbase low, etc.

    It's good stuff!

    I also appreciate that our protagonist is not some generic good at games guy - he's one of the best players, but his skills are all earned and come from his background of playing nonsense trash games. Just a really nice chill read so far

    I could use something with a lot more chill vibes to offset that

    I recommend Akane Banashi, Frieren, or Delicious in Dungeon

    All three of these are very good, but I'm not sure about chill

    Yeah, some parts of Frieren are downright tense.

    Chill mangas to read:
    Skip & Loafer, Laid-Back Camp, Spy x Family (for the most part).

    Though even in its tense parts it does feel oddly languid.

    Yeah, I'd definitely watch the Scott Pilgrim movie before watching the anime.

    I'm pretty sure Spy X Family S2 has a higher body count than Chainsaw Man.

    On second thought, spoilers
    There's a single scene in the Chainsaw Man manga that has a higher body count than 30 seasons of SpyFam would have so...
