Comment below, good to hear Legend of Galactic Heroes animation gets better. Was looking up a rec about a dog and stumbled upon LotGH and it's now on my list. Anidb has it as like the highest rated anime of all time. It must be a stellar watch. Lot of eps though. That era of anime hailed some of the best there is. Wish they could make some anime like they used to. We need another Bebop-esque, but not quite as good because, well, that's an unreachable feat. Or something along those lines.

Didn't realize Gintama had a plot. Interesting. But aliens in edo era? Idk, it almost reminds me of the ludicrous movie: Cowboys and Aliens. Still Gintama has a pretty huge fanbase so it must be doing something right. Magi sounds pretty fun. The concept has yet to be done surprisingly. Not sure why they started an anime on it though. With only like 160 chaps, they'll catch up fast and ruin it somehow. Why can't they animate other manga that have finished? It baffles me how they can fuck up some great serious. I could pick a handful of manga i've completed that would make awesome animations. Then again, i wouldn't want them to fuck up the integrity of the manga but making a shitty adaption.

Wow, i caught up on Toriko and that last chapter was the most bullshit filler garbage. I couldn't give a shit about half of those guys. Naming 25-11 was so pointless, and to take up 6 pages doing it was beyond enough. The thing I dislike about Toriko, when compared to OP, is Toriko just, fuck idk how to say this, explains too much with words. Useless babble like that last chapter was filled with. The 39 billion people and how everyone is at home watching it and the shit about cds selling 4 million and all that shit gets on my nerves. Who cares? I know the author is trying to scope it for us but it's just hard to read sometimes. 

You need not worry about the crew for there in lies Guts, protector. If he is not around, they then make a pretty formidable group, which is nice because Guts can then do his thing.  Shit planned in advance? I have about 200 manga on my wish list (90 in reading list that i'm about 20-30 chaps behind), the hardest part is deciding which one to start.  The problem with that is that i hate starting a lot of series if it has the chance of being dropped/slow releases/hiatus or something or rather. Thus i like to wait until they are complete or the story actually gets rolling. That and right now i don't feel like reading anything. Nothing looks really eye catching either. Been watching anime though. Watched Recollections of a Certain Air Pilot, which was quite good. Then the Fate/zero series. Also unexpectedly good.

Re: Berserk and Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

It's true it's partly an issue of age, but I'm also judging those anime by the standards of their contemporaries - Neon Genesis Evangelion was made during LOGH's run, and Cowboy Bebop was a contemporary of Berserk.

LOGH's animation did get progressively better over the years,however.

I liked the fact that Migi is dormant but still a part of the kid. I also enjoyed the fact that he had nothing else to learn so he went dormant. In the end, they really had a friendly bond. Who woulda figured?

Gah, magi is on my list, as i once said, but nowhere near a priority. Gintama is nothing but slapstick comedy as well (shudders*), but hey, to each their own.  Surprised you decided to tackle 4 long ass series though. Quick the time consumption between them. Plus Magi has an anime out. Plan on watching that?

Quite empty. Zero squads designs are pretty badass but i almost feel like they should look a little more war hardened.  But i read somewhere....zero squad members: "a housewife, a yankee, a monk, a nadeshiko and american?" ahahaha. How's that for originality. Though i'm not complaining, I rather like the design. For the record, i also like Kubo's character design. They have that sharpness to em, really makes the females female.  Though, I doesn't top OP.  As for Naruto, can't wait for shit to go down either.

Well i have not read Toriko/FT in like 3 weeks. Will now because that's one hell of a break. Month and a half? Damn. Have not really read much besides the big 3 in past month. In one them ruts. I have plenty on my plate though, just nothing seems interesting.

Looked at the feed by chance and saw you finished Parasyte? Well, how was it? Pretty steller if i may say so myself. You've been read though shit. Don't know how you read so many different things each day though.

WOuld comment on Bleach/Naruto but there is not shit to say. Zero squad looks pretty cool. Ten tails fight should be good.

Damn, thought you would be further in Berserk.  Either way, let me put it to you this way. If you catch up, we can talk about it and you'll be caught up. Shits awesome now. Downside is the wait. Back in march, like 3-4 chapters came out that had minimal impact on the story. In June, there was a 3 chapter through back on Gut's childhood.  Within a month, we just got 2 chapters, one advanced the story with guts, and the latest had nothing to do with Guts.  At the end of the chapter, we got the "til' next time", so the next chapter might be in March.  It's a hard wait but you have to catch up sometime.  The story is definitely worth the wait.

Also, a volume of Dorohedoro came out, which comes out once a year.  The art and story are pretty unique so that's something you could read.
