Also isnt the Western gag dub considered by most to be the superior of the versions of Shin-Chan. Even though its hacked together episodes? Sort of how Dead Leaves English dub is way more funny then the Japanese version and even the creators considered it better? (If your talking Shin chan manga I didnt know there was one /shrug)
But yeah a case of death can really ruin a series if the author dies before at least outlining the major plot points to someone else. Kind of like how JRR Martin of Game of Thrones will probably kick the bucket before finishing the series and has strictly said he doesnt want anyone to finish his series. But he sort of backtracked on that and gave HBO the rights to finish the series if he can't write it.
It's ecchi, but grotesque. Its a really weird mix. Its almost a basic Western Zombie story set in Japan, but the awkwardness of the characters becuase japanese students really dont break the rules but are kind of forced to because Zombie outbreak. Its different, and i feel it has good character development. The characters are pretty fun. I would probably put it on par with The Walking Dead graphic novels, but with anime/ecchi infusion. I think the author is able to show how depraved people can be when they are threatened too.
Naruto: Epic 4 hokage super seal, minato already had 9 tails chackra mode (Since he does have half the kubis power sealed inside him. I guess you can train Chakra in death ) Sasuke wants to be Hokage so he can change the Leaf, Naruto understand where hes coming from and knows it probably wont happen. But I dont think, they will repeat the First/Madara Path, maybe. Sakura may be useful, maybe.
Bleach:<Insert Eye of the tiger Rocky training montage>

My reaction to both chapters: So that's it? Just like that? Ichigo just shows up and wins, and Sasuke just shows up and all is well? I hope Komamura and Falkor's story is at least interesting.

Bleach:I think whats happened is its showing that Ichigo accepts all aspects of himself, His heritage his parentage and his power. Ichigo always feared his hollw side, always. But after listening to his father he realized its always been part of him and is part of him since birth. Its like denying your right arm becuase its deformed or has a nasty birthmark. I dont think the test was to beat the zanpactos into obeying to make a new one, but to be able to recognize and accept your zanpactos power for what it is. Which ichigo always feared and didnt know about. I guess
Naruto: I know your like Sasuke showed up and your kinda like thats it. But this is Naruto, from the time Sasuke left hes believed he would come back. (believe it!) Everyone else was all pissd off, and still is. But notice when the Third said Ochimaru brought them back. Not one person questioned him. No one was like "What?!, didnt he try to destroy the village before" I mean partly because when your faced with 4 of the most powerful people to exist you just dont ask questions.
Sasuke may have been "Bad" and his peers dont like his choices. But Naruto always believed in him, and Naruto is probably close to Hokage levels or higher. He also had the flashback remembering, Its not the Hokage that gets acknowledged because they are hokage(Which is what Sasuke thinks is going to happen), Its the people that are acknowledged for their deeds that become hokage. And sees how Sasukes thinking is being Naive like he used to be.
Probably whats going to happen here. Minato is going to get eaten/absorbed powering up the Juubi with 9 tails chakra. Naruto is going to be placed in position that makes the rest of his peers acknowledge Sasukes power and determination , and while I dont think he will change everyone mind right away it will be that first step to redemption in their eyes. BUT Naruto isnt giving up on the position himself and declares that to Sasuke.
Probably whats going to happen is Naruo gets picked for Hokage, turns it down to make Sasuke Hokage, or says only if Sasuke is co hokage with me. IDK well see. The meaning behind the last flashback, Naruto knows hes te only one that can get through to Sasuke by believing in him

After reading this I'm a lot less annoyed at the chapter and sudden drastic difference in the asauchi and therefore the way he was thinking. Zanpakuto are nothing more than a physical embodiment of your inner power. His almost raw asauchi definitely had a hollow-esque feeling to it. And it was shown that inner hollow Ichigo is the same being/thing as Zangetsu. Yet Ichigo was afraid of the hollow side to that power, he didn't want to accept it. If it's that he now accepts that as a part of himself and doesn't disdain it, then I'm satisfied.
It making sense doesn't make it feel less annoying. It spent the first quarter aggressively and violently trying to take over and then now it just kneels because he simply accepts it? They could have at least traded punches.
Fairy Tail: I had the same reaction as Laxus did, except I was laughing. Saw the beginning, nice, if a little contrived, twist ending.

Maybe it was due to Ichigo finally accepting his role as "The King". Remember the whole "King/Horse" spiel during that part? Aizen does.

Fairy Tail: The heck? That whole thing with "This...sensation..." and the two page spread of Igneel and Atlas Flame... is this dragon **** or something? >_>

I was thinking that too, especially since Atlus was upset when Natsu said "Old Guy". My guess is that Atlus is really female, and the dragon equivalent of the childhood friend/romantic interest in dating games.

Manga steams translators are usually better at noticing the qurks in the language therefore its more natural. and makes more sense. Unfortunately they are no longer the fastest kids on the block after the C&D they got
They usually take their time somewhat for Fairy Tail (which wasn't hit with the C&D), but Mangastream's text editing quality has gotten a little sloppy at times lately. Although not in the last 3 weeks.
Thus why I corrected him. He probably called him "ojisan" in the raw. And with the context of the manga, "Uncle" is what I would have translated it as, since it makes more sense. Not to mention it's only middle aged, not old. (It's more likely for panda/here to incorrectly translate ojisan to old guy than it is for stream to incorrectly translate ojiisan to uncle.)

At least Falcor is getting ready to kick some ***. Also "Goodbye Zangetsu! Hello again Zangetsu!" Also also damn it give us more Kenpachi. Only damn reason I've been reading up to this point. I want his damn Bankai.
Naruto: 630+ chapters and Sakura finally does something useful. Also "errybody hokage."
