Welcome, my fellow Anime Planetarian'! I am an avid reader of many different storytelling forms. In my opinion, the art of storytelling may traverse through any style the author wishes to use. Be it literature, or illustrated pieces, as long as the story is "good," I will support it.
Now, what makes a story "good?" A personal opinion? Perhaps. But for me, the key ingredient in making a good story is consistency. If a story is consistent, the author may write about whatever they please. What does it mean for a stroy to be consistent? The art of storytelling comprises of several technical aspects: Character scheme, character development and interaction, plot progression, and world building. There are other aspects one may account for in writing a good story, but these are the most important to me. A story, no matter how ridiculous, must be consistent in all of these aspects. If a story has, for example, developed a character to a specific degree, then decides to contradict that character's development, the story is faulty. The author must ALWAYS take mind in what they are writing. All of my ratings will be guided by strict analyzation of the title. If I happen to give a title a low rating, it does not mean I didn't enjoy it. A low rating simply means it is technically inconsistent. However, I often have trouble enjoying titles that give me such a displeasure.
Lastly, feel free to greet me with any topic you would enjoy discussing. And remember, the theme of a story is not to be judged, for the judgment is only your personal opinion. If one is going to critique a story, do so by the consistency and skill of the author.

I know whose in your dp... :D
Was in Canada for a week and just got around to reading new SJ chapters. Not sure if we have them this week. I swear i heard there was no SJ one week, but the schedule in which we(English) readers get SJ is like a week ahead. But i don't know, the OP chapter filled me up enough.
OP-you pretty much said everything. Very excited for what is happening and how much happened this chapter. We saw sooo much. The alliance, Law's Houdini escape and now everyone is back together. Though kid has changed massively. Looks more vicious than ever with that scarred face and sweet metal claw arm. They all look awesome. There bounties are massive as well. Franky and his fireball LOL. "That's no problem for me bro". Shit cracks me up. And it's funny how kinemon was talking about how silly they are running. How does Oda know just what to say? Sanji's boob grab power up LOL. God dude this is getting really really really good. Such a magnificent chapter. Side NOte: I also like mangastream, beast scans.
Naruto- I understand where you come from. This chapter was eh, but in the same regards we really know what the fuck is up with Tobi now. Still, not muh going on. Also, Naruto has a new hokage esque power-up suit? LOL. I have to say, might be my fav, Sage outfit is just too awesome though. Naruto just looks hoss in a long jacket.
Bleach- Good to see kenpachi rape shit up. Seriously, he killed 3 quincies with such ease. Awesome. Though knowing he's going up against the boss, i just have a bad feeling about it. That's Ichigo's fight, or so the story dictates. Retarded indeed.
Few things here. Hunger Games is shit melodrama romance garbage. I Read the first bore of a book and regretfully bought the others b4 i knew not to read the rest. Hate 1st person so that may be a big reason. But the romance is ugh. The second book is the first as the same, which is Bullshit. Don't give into the hype like i did. Read Game of Thrones. I'm on book 3/5 (on going) now, and the shit is sooo fucking interesting. I don't know the words to describe how detailed and compact and beautifully told it is. You said you like a complicated plot? Dude, forget the list of books and read this. It's almost a medieval type era with a touch of magic. Just enough where you wish there was more. A touch is all it takes.
As for BR, ehh not everything can be interesting at all times (except OP and few others). Also since you say it's good, and i'm willing to watch movies more than series, ill get to it soon enough. As for Genius Party, hated it. Just so awful IMO. Slow and uninteresting. Not my cup of tea. Well i was once in your shoes, trying to catch up on all my manga, buttfuck it i said. I only read the same dozen each time and wait for the rest to either complete or get way ahead, but mainly finish. No use catching up when a new chapter comes out soon enough. Thus i get plenty of time to read new manga that looks good and do other shit.
Ok, so i read the latest chapter of Tower of God and you should check it out. Now, i know you dilemma with your lists and all but believe me, webcomics FLY by. You can consume them so fucking fast. I read a lot of webcomics and i can't get enough of them. A different read than manga. Not nearly as much text but the plot moves a lil slower. Then you have the long scroll instead of several pages. Just saying, if you want a quick bu awesome read, ToG is a must. You can read most webcomics on Batato.com if you don't know.
FT- Natsu at the end, fucking awesome. Such fucking awesomeness. And i thought Dragon Force was tough, that shit is nothing compared to 1st gen slayers. I'm all giddy with happiness after that chapter.
So SJ is on break this week? Nooooo! Just when shit is getting good, another break in OP comes along. This chapter was pretty cool. No clue how they are going to break out of that cage, what a wait this'll be. As for Vegapunk's refuge, i find it hard to see a futuristic city scape in the OP world but maybe it'll be futuristic in OP standards and not mine. It's hard to tell when we have hardly any info on Vegapunk. Maybe he's with the gov't locked away for all we know. So much we don't know yet and OP has been going on for 676 chapters. Amazing. As for Law, I won't form any theories. I like yours though. Maybe he had no choice but why would his crew go missing? who has the power to take his crew? Maybe they were destroyed by a Yonko and he wants revenge? To many routes this can go in.
Alright Naruto chapter again. Finally able to inflict damage on Tobi. Now that they know the secret, i wonder if it'll be any easier of a fight. Doubt it.
No bleach lol. Not much of a loss if you ask me.
Well i'm glad you know what i'm talking about with realism and what not. I can handle FT friendship and Bleach bs and most shounen but it's nice to get away from that and read something where friendship means nothing and shit gets real. It's hard to pick which i like more; they both compliment one another. Your writing sounds pretty cool. That is the type of story that I want to be engrossed in. Sword of the Truth is pretty good. If i had to describe it, it's LOTR and HP combined. A lot of journeying with magic. Also reading A Game of Thrones. The Series is actually called A Song of Ice and Fire and that shit is awesome. Trust me, the new Lupin III's animation will not disappoint. So smooth and stunning. An easy 13 eps to power through. Since the woman in Lupin III is like that of the girl in BR, i'll have to check it soon. As for Cat Soup, never seen it and it does not look like my up of tea. But who knows.
OP- Like you said, set up chapter. The brokers look freaking powerful. Makes me wonder if, in fact, they're really are extremely powerful people underground we don't know about. I'd like to know more about that world. Can't believe Law would make such a deal, man what a fool. Nice to know why why he was so weak in front of Vergo though. Also, speaking of wanting to know more, when will we ever find out about the great genius Vegapunk. Dieing to see his introduction. Lastly, it will be interesting to see what comes about with this whole perfect weapon. Seems unstoppable. Oh and never thought about chopper busting them out of the cage; you might be onto something. This arc is becoming pretty suspenseful indeed.
Naruto- I personally prefer Naruto's sage mode look. He looked so badass when it was first introduced back when he fought Pain. Don't care much for this new look but w/e. As for the chapter, lot of fighting happening that made it hard to follow what exactly was going on. Shit, i bet Kishimoto could of done that whole chapter without any words if he felt like it. Ha, Guy is awesome. One of my favorites. He just flows like water and makes fighting look easy. But isn't there some hitch if he were to open the 8th gate? I know they take a toll on his body but the 8th is deadly isn't it?
Bleach- Great chapter. I hope his death remains forever because if it does not, shit will look weak. A great character like that needs to remain dead. I'm pretty indifferent towards Ice Captain. Wish his Bankai didn't have a 3 time use though. Other than that he is alright in my book. Kenpachi going against the boss? Only Ichigo is capable of pulling that off. Good to see him nonetheless. Overall nice chapter. This war ends when Ichigo and friends get to SS lol.
FT- Finally we see the dragons. About time. Can't wait to see what part they play for the dragon king. This upcoming fight is going to be pretty spectacular.
Do you plan on making a career in writing somehow?
I saw TDKR in the afternoon and since then I've seen it again, freaking loved Bain and his voice. Epic as fuck. Also watched Kemonozume and loved the animation. The whole story was pretty cool with the romance and the monsters and the boobs. Idk how to say this without looking like a perverted ecchi fanatic but shows like (seinen) that, that show boobs and such but retain the seriousness and realism are something else. Like Berserk. That's just an example (the boobs) but i like when the situation feels real. I mean, what relationship, where you risk you life for the girl, doesn't have those rewards? Another example: Sword of Truth books. Not sure if you read em but there epic fantasy. They have torture, rape, sex, death, and gore. All of that makes the story seem so real to me because in that time(where book takes place) that shit happens. Love that about anime/manga/anything really. Not that I don't like shounen etc. but i really enjoy things that have that aspect to em'. Thus, i really enjoyed that anime. Also watched the new Lupin III series which was pretty nice to. Again, it seemed more realistic. A woman uses her body to get into men's lives then steal there shit. Sex sells. We see her body quite a bit. Ahh, i hope you understand what i mean lol.
Konnichiwa!
I figured out your dp from like last week when I started watching Workaholics and I was like omg, isn't that like Blake! :D
How many seasons does Workaholics have?
