Also HnS is considered Seinen.
>>84679647

>HURR AM I FITTING IT YET!

From its debut (Issue 14, 1998) to present day (Issue 16, 2012), Hunter x Hunter has been absent from Weekly Shonen Jump 332 times.
The Chimera Ant arc lasted 134 chapters over 402 issues of Jump; that averages out to one-third of a chapter per week.
The longest hiatus remains 79 straight missed issues (2006-2007).
The series’ record for absences in a calendar year is still 2009, when it missed 46 of 48 issues.
There have been 671 issues of Weekly Shonen Jump since HxH began; Togashi has missed over 49% of them.
Given 48 issues of Jump in one calendar year, that’s 6.92 publishing years missed.

>>84679790
>HnS is considered seinen
Huh, really?
Well, you guys should read it, it's amazing.

Fujoshi detected. I'm surprised you didn't list Reborn.

>>84679756
I like Chihayafuru, fuck you.

>>84679172 (OP)
That more or less works.

>>84679756
True enough, that's why I only read seinen.

I think Kenichi is good and enjoyable

>>84679844

Yes, it ran in a seinen magazine.

It's definitely shonen material, though.

I hate the way Magi has gone in the last few months. I think this is no surprise because I've been calling it garbage for a while now. Why is this the case though? What went wrong? I think the fact is that the manga has lost its way and is trying to pander to an audience it doesn't need to, and is hence rapidly losing its unique identity.

It wasn't about characters fighting each other, but rather about journeying together to discover more about the world together. The author created three solid perspectives for this - Aladdin the Magi whose mysterious origins are a window to the nature of this world, Alibaba the begger prince whose life experiences and ambitions form the foundation of a potential world leader who could be a force of good, and Mor the slave warrior of a scattered tribe who seeks to discover her heritage and change the world as the world changed her.

This was all great stuff. But somehow, after tons of build-up and using all 3 characters to expand the scope of the world by going their separate ways, the manga completely drops the ball by abandoning all that in favor for the worst sort of "world event" possible. The laziest and most uninteresting sort. A shounen "war" arc which isn't really a war but rather a few named characters beam spamming everything to show how powerful they are. Not just for 5 chapters, not just for 10 chapters, it just goes on and on.

Characters posing, random explosions, large number of unnamed "soldiers" looking in horror and going "OMG THEY ARE SO STRONG!". This is stupid. It's not why I started reading Magi, and it's not why I continued reading Magi. It's the complete opposite. To make things worse, it completely abandoned the potential for having an actual interesting war arc where 3 characters represent 3 different perspectives, and actually show the progression of a war and valid opinions and strategies, instead of being Hero units just shattering the battlefield.

>>84679647
In the too new to judge list.

>>84679919
- We haven't seen Mor in almost 40 chapters. That's about 10 months.

- Alibaba's training and experiences in the Colosseum amount to nothing because he's just some Super Saiyan armored dude now. Plus he had nothing to contribute at all to the Relm perspective, and basically just hopped on the boat to get back into Aladdin's pants.

- All the characters they have introduced along the way serve no purpose other than to be flashy new armored dudes shouting special attacks and creating explosions while posing. It's stupid and boring. There is no story progression either because they're just fighting some intangible force created for the excuse of action. There are no longer any narrative objectives or interesting story elements to look forward to in this arc.

- The manga has completely lost the plot and thrown away all the interesting things about itself in favor of becoming the generic competition which it tried to set itself apart from at the start. Wasteful, tragic, and pathetic honestly.

I disagree
some are quite good.

I've read a lot of Battle Manga, and I have to say, HxH doesn't deserve anywhere near the praise it gets on /a/. As far as currently running stuff goes, it's high tier when it isn't on hiatus (not that it has much competition anyway), but as a whole, it's really not that great.

>>84680245
When you've seen and read as many anime and manga like me, you realize that the perceived 'differences' between shounen are nothing compared to that of the seinen. Sure you can read Naruto and One Piece and see the minor setting differences, but realizing that the plot is identical is impossible for shounenfags limited intelligence. Hence why they are aimed at 'shounen' (which means male child in japanese)

Not the guy you're arguing with, but I read it once when I watched the TV series, then once again within the last year.

If you want to say the CB and 3 Kings sagas were bad, I agree. But the first half, the characters throughout and the close we got at the end were fantastic. They even gave us a nice OVA years later.

The understated but still present and relevant romance in YYH is leagues better than the shit romance we see in most genres now.

/pol/ here. And i can vouch for that. I mean, with how Al Sarmen is clearly based around the Jewish Illuminati conspiracy theories, and how the Balbadd arc was one huge Libertarian preaching circlejerk it's kind of hard not for us to get into the series. And don't even get me started on Dumblejew.

Bleach, despite all its flaws and shortcomings is perfectly consistent and retcons simply do not exist.

HnK in general holds the title of king. The first part just further cements it as holding that title.

why is never beelzebub in one of those top something lists

>>84679172 (OP)

Fairy Tail is actually really good. It isn't the best series in terms of depth of characters/plot etc, but it's fun to watch. Good music, great fight scenes, decent fillers (except Daphne) + mildly funny. Wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but I definitely enjoy it.

AgK is good but it's not god tier (not yet at least). Not to mention it's only 36 chapters in.

Beelzebub isn't a battle manga. I love the fuck out of Beelzebub but it's a gag manga.

>>84682166
He's in the Toriko level.

>>84682177
Holy shit my sides just erupted like never before.

>>84682073
It isn't a retcon, or an asspull because it does not contradict anything that has been said, or done in the past.
More to the point, some of it is hinted throughout the series.
From the very beginning of Bleach we've known that his mother had powers, we even thought that was where his shinigami potential came from.
Now we finally know what kind of power user she was.

>>84682136
HxH never struck me as wordy.

>>84682073
>Quincy, Vizard, Fullbringer, Shinigami, Hollow AND Human
Most of these overlap in some way. A Vizard is a Shinigami/Hollow hybrid, and a Fullbringer is a human who has powers derived from Hollows.

Hell, Fullbringers and Quincies are required to be humans by nature, and he doesn't even have Fullbringer powers anymore. Since he doesn't use his mask, we can assume he doesn't have that aspect anymore either.

>>84682177
Is Fairy Tail the only series you've ever read? It's just an incredibly poorly written One Piece ripoff that is filled with fanservice. Hell, even most of it's fanbase recognizes that it's objective shit nowadays with all the ridiculous asspulls and it's repetitive nature.

182 chapters, went on a 4 week brake on a major fucking cliffhanger though.....even oda wasnt that mean when he went on time skip. But its been really well written so far. So i have to allow her.

What about ZKC?

>>84682628
This is by the same mangaka of Hoshi no Samidare right?

>>84682478
Fair enough.

He's still just Shinigami, Quincy, and Hollow at his core though. All his abilities are just different applications of those three.

why is bleach shit

because aside form the ichigo vs that dude that makes his sword petals and some of the kempachis fights, all of its battles are boring and in most of the,m you cant eve tell wats happening

>>84682562
Having occasional battles does not make it a battle manga. See>>84680185

>>84682442

>>84682319

Never said it was well written, I just mentioned that I enjoy it (for reasons listed). Yeah, the plot - if you can call it that - have been done a million times before. Not every series has to be a suspense filled masterpiece. It's not serious in the slightest, which is partly what makes it enjoyable.

>>84682660
No enough battle shonen manga, or not like Mikami.

>>84682665
Yes. It's Sengoku Youko

>>84682565
It's the same level of shit as naruto, darkness everywhere, takes itself way to fucking serious

>>84682562
I guess you consider AssClass and Spirit Circle battle manga as well right?

>>84680342

I say the same thing and everyone calls me a troll. It's honestly not any better than early Naruto.

And imo stuff like FMA is way better than it.

>>84682596

>>84682690

Really? I thought most of the fights between Ichigo and the Mexican Hollow niggers were pretty cool. The Aizen fight was kind of a let down though. The faggot comes out with god powers and doesn't really do anything except use a long black line of death attack. I was expecting an even fight but that was just one sided slaughter.

Ruroni Kenshin is shit
Hellsing is shit
Trigun is shit
Any anime/manga with High School in the title is shit
Clannad is sitting in shit
I like Psyren and the world god only knows though

>>84682783
>FMA is way better than it
Yeah no. FMA is good, but nowhere near HxH level. Especially since FMA really dropped in quality and became incredibly generic towards the end.

>>84680031
You're actually reading Jumbor and Kingdom? Are they any good?

>>84682689
>>Poor direction (Le back attack xD)
Valid strategy, better than rushing head first while yelling like a moron.
>>Poor story telling (You're an X Ichigo, and a thumpin good one!)
Ichigo's dominance in the battlefield is justified, deal with it.
>>No backgrounds
Fair
>>Bad artwork that makes Naruto look good in comparison
Ahaha, no.
>>Dull cast of characters
Opinions. Personally I find Aizen, Grimmjow, Gin and Tousen to be very interesting characters.
>>84682690
>only lists fights
You're just dumb as a brick.

>>84682711
Erza is literally the authors waifu. She wins every fight by being down and out, then one shotting with nakama power. Every arc is the same "fight-lose-powerup-win" formula and every character fighst a similar enemy. Natsu gets some bullshit powerup every 20 minutes to kill everything. Every time someone wipes there own ass Mavis gives a speech about how pround she is of Fairy Tails friendship power.

>>84682776

>>84682898
>I like Psyren
Still shit.

>>84682776
Wait, hold on. Assassination Classroom is a comedy based on the interactions and quirks of students and teachers (including Koro-sensei), Beelzebub is a comedy based on the interactions and fights between students and demons.

>Legitimate criticism is now a buzzword
Well, buzzword is a buzzword too anyway.

>>84682927
Jumbor is okay so far, there are only 6 chapters out (Mankin Trad JUST picked it back up) so I can't really judge it.

Kingdom is great and we get about 4 chapters released a week. I'd definitely pick it up.

>>84682933

Nope, it's objective. Asspulled power levels from left and right. Awful writing.

Yes but both series focus on humor and the characters more than fights. Just because both series have fights don't make them battle manga.

name one good and interesting fight in bleach aside the ones that i mentioned

there are not..even the fight that involved the soul society boss were boring and not worth remembering

bleach has like three good fights

2- kempachi vs the black dude
3- the two science dudes

You've missed the point. When you keep having the same thing happen over and over again to move the plot, it's called bad direction, and makes things boring. No one reads something like Bleach for "more logical" action scenes, they read it for entertaining action.

>>84679172 (OP)
HxH isn't bad but the shitty art just ruined it for me. It felt like the artist didn't care at all there for a while. Not to mention the hiatuses.

Magi isn't particularly good in my opinion, but it is better than the top row.

Nanatsu no Taizai may only be 20 or so chapters in, but its first 20 chapters are by far better than the first 20 chapters of any of the rest of these. Save possibly Naruto.

>>84683204
JoJo is no longer shonen.
Currently running JoJo is seinen.

>>84683250
The first 6(?) parts aren't, and this thread is about currently running stuff. Not that Jojo is worth reading after part 4 anyway.

>>84683079
There's a lot more fights in Beelzebub, though.
The entire plot revolves around fighting to get to places and meet people.

I'll give you that they're similar, and that AssClass might become more fighting-related, like Beelzebub, but so far it's not even close. There's been what, 3 fights so far, plus the upcoming new teacher/student bout. It's not even close to Beelzebub's ratio.

>>84682073
I haven't read it since he got full bring powers and killed his predecessor but is he actually a quincy now too? That is just fucking silly.

I thought something like this would happen ever since that time Aizen claimed that he "created" Ichigo and planned every single fight he had and been observing him. But I didn't think they would actually go through with something so silly.

Where is Shingeki no Kyojin?

>>84683287

Jojo is so fucking overrated it hurts, anyway.
