I was sort of hoping they would have fun with them like they did with the closed-captioning on Toonami. The captions just kinda rolled with it when the show did one of its over-the-top flavor fantasy moments, with sound effects like <crispy-fried moans> or <foodgasming continues>
I've seen a decent amount of people saying Jujutsu Kaisen is worth reading, but I read the first chapter and it seemed very similar to something like Bleach or Chainsaw Man, but with less interesting characters. I might give it another shot, I'm not sure.

Eh. I gave it 12 chapters or so and did not care for it
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
something in the shonen fights genre has to really stand out to earn any attention to me, like chainsaw man
Demon King Academy is standing out to me for how utterly ludicrous it is.
The protagonist starts as a baby who immediately names himself before his parents do, ages himself into a child form because being a baby is inconvenient, receives an invitation to magic school and ages himself to teenage form to attend, kills his opponent in the entry exams by enhancing the sound of his own heartbeat, resurrects his opponent, kills him again, resurrects him again, and does this several more times in a row before the fight ends. He is the epitome of power fantasy played straight as an arrow
I just randomly watched the first episode of Zombieland Saga. I remember hearing that the rest of the show doesn't live up to the first episode. Is that about right? Any other opinions?
It lessens the comedy over time but it still keeps it.

I tried to finish Cross Ange before it was taken away, but only got as far as episode 20, which mostly involved a dream sequence of assorted characters being abused in pointlessly cruel fashion.

I bounced off, gave it another try and am caught up but am falling off the wagon.
It's the other Bleach successor, getting the rest of the good stuff Black Clover didn't. It's got some serious style. It's just hard as hell to tell what's going on half the time, and constantly feels like you're missing half-chapters.
I'm hoping if it makes the jump to anime it'll be easier to follow.

It's getting an anime I think next year? It's why I picked it up again after bouncing off it the first time.

LasbrookIt takes a lot to make a stewWhen it comes to me and youRegistered Userregular
Oh hey is this where everyone is talking about how good Chainsaw Man is?
So back a couple years ago two of the players in my then-current D&D game recommended the anime The Seven Deadly Sins to me (one later even asked if he could straight-up play as a certain character from the show named Escanor in my game). I ended up watching all of it because it was basically Dungeons & Dragons meets Dragon Ball Z.
However, I was continuously put off by the treatment of the primary female character, Elizabeth, by the show's protagonist, Meliodas.
As a a running "gag" Meliodas frequently openly gropes Elizabeth and looks up her skirt.They eventually "justify" this by establishing that Elizabeth was originally a goddess who fell in love with Meliodas, a powerful demon, in time immemorial. She took mortal form to be with Meliodas, and she's since reincarnated over and over to fall in love with the immortal Meliodas all over again throughout countless lifetimes.
That's neat and all, but Meliodas just seems to take it as a given the "first" time Elizabeth "meets" him that the relationship boundaries he and Elizabeth set during all her past lives still apply, despite the current Elizabeth not knowing who the fuck this guy is. I got the implication later that Elizabeth was okay with everything because subconsciously she "knew" Meliodas, specifically when during a later groping session she transitions from a startled, flustered expression to playful laughter. Still, though, I would have greatly appreciated this not having been a thing at all.
It also concerns me that of the other two major relationships, one is between an ancient fairy who looks like a boy and a giantess who is now an adult but first met the fairy when she was a young child (and at one point was briefly taken care of by the fairy), and the other is between an adult man and the male fairy's sister, who herself looks like a young girl.
I ended up accidentally falling down a Youtube hole last night of watching clips from the various kickass fight scenes in the series, like the time Meliodas has an ally teleport him hundreds of miles away to where the bad guys are hanging out just to wreck a recurring villain's shit for the ten minutes it takes for him to be teleported back.
So it's definitely a problematic fave of mine, but problematic to the point that I fear I may have made a mistake getting into it at all.
Sword Art Online: What if a tryhard edgelord expertly abused every intricacy of an online game to get cool gear and become incredibly powerful, and everyone thought he was a dick?
Bofuri: What if an adorable idiot accidentally the whole dungeon and stumbled into broken skills and gear, and everyone thought it was just precious?

There's one sequence in 7DS that was worth it, the rest was problematic, like you wrote, plus the writing went off the rails in later arcs and lacked consistency.
Escanor vs Estarossa in the manga was AMAZING. I never watched the anime at all, but I caught that fight on youtube, and they did not do that fight justice.
So mitama and home collector are probably axed. M+ has a...not a bug, but a way to tell.
Mangaplus has IDs for chapters in the URL. Usually they put up the IDs for the next 3-4 issues of Weekly Shounen Jump at a time. For example this week, the One Piece chapter has the ID 7479 at the end of the URL. The next 3 IDs 7480-7482 will be filled with the next three chapters of One Piece. The ID 7483 is the current chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen.
However if a manga has less than 4 IDs, it means it will be absent in at least one of the next 4 issues. So it will either go on break or it will end in less than 4 chapters. Since new manga pretty much never go on break, it's usually always cancellation.
Here's the Mangaplus IDs for the next month:
7310-7312 MHA (still using old IDs because of unexpected breaks, current chapter is 7311)
7479-7482 One Piece
7483-7486 Jujutsu Kaisen
7487-7488 (either MHA or new series replacing Mitama)
7489-7492 Black Clover
7493-7494 (either MHA or new series replacing Mitama)
7495-7498 We Never Learn
7499-7502 Dr. Stone
7503-7506 Act-Age
7507-7510 Chainsaw Man
7511-7514 Mission Yozakura Family
7515-7516 Mitama Security (only 2 IDs)
7517-7520 Agravity Boys
7521-7524 Undead Unluck
7525-7528 Mashle
7529-7532 Moriking
7533-7535 Bone Collection (only 3 IDs)
7536-7539 Time Paradox Ghostwriter
7540-7543 Ayakashi Triangle
7544-7547 Magu-chan
7548 (probably a new series replacing Bone Collection)
7549-7552 Hardboiled Cop and Dolphin
7553-7556 Me & Roboco
As you can see, every single manga has enough ID spots for 4 chapters in total (this weeks chapters included), except for Mitama Security and Bone Collection. So this means, Mitama Security only has one chapter left next week and Bone Collection has two chapters left after the one that released today.

Interesting. Bone Collector had a little promise, but it squandered it basically right away.
Chainsawman seems like the king of Jump right now. I wonder if it gets animated if manga readers will have the advantage for certain scenes/episodes.
Yeah, I liked Bone Collector, but it seems to be doing a hard pivot and it's falling flat.
It's Time Paradox Ghostwriter which is making me sad. I'm really intrigued, but it's doing poorly in rankings.
Chainsaw Man is the stand-out of the recently started stuff, but it's not like it's ranking first or anything. It's just getting a lot of attention this side of the ocean.

It bounces around the middle, and has been towards the upper end of late, but the real anchors at the moment are One Piece (of course), MHA (unsurprisingly), and Dr. Stone.
Like, once the Gun Demon chapters are ranked it wouldn't surprise me for it to be briefly in the top 3/top slot. But it lacks the consistency you see of other series.

1. Did they just have a battle with dickbag the traitor offscreen?
2. Did they just fucking kill Dickbag?
3. What the hell happened that they were just suddenly on Kaido and pushing him off the stage
