I've really been enjoying My Hero Academia. I was worried about the current arc (it's a 1 on 1 fighting tournament) but it's actually really good. The character interactions are great, and the first two fights have only totaled to a few chapters so far, so it doesn't seem like Horikoshi is dragging the thing out. The character of Endeavor especially has me interested. He's the number two hero in the world, but at the same time he's a conniving asshole who resorted to some scumbag stuff to get a son that he wants to surpass All-Might. Todoroki's backstory is pretty messed up.

This thing going on with One For All, is great too. The visions of its past owners are pretty ominous.

I knew that aspect, but its a bit odd with all these games and rituals they have specifically for romance stuff in the high school setting, it seems more like something you'd see in grade school in the west.


Genshiken is about a college anime club.

I read JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 1, and nothing really made me go "How bizarre!" up until Dio shot lasers from his eyes.

Been reading Ana Satsujin. Its a really good horror/romance manga. Its about a suicidal shut in named Kurosa and his neighbor a girl named Miyaichi.
I REAAAAAALLY recommend it but be warned it has mature content.

Decided to read the Vinland Saga again, I'm glad I did. It's a very good story and seems very accurate on Vikings.

Also, watching Cowboy Bebop. Just watched the second episode and the Corgi is my favourite character so far.

It gets more bizarre later on. Aztec Rock people, manifestations of your soul named after tarot cards/bands and songs, ghosts and serial killers, fabulous mafiosi, female prison break, wild west horse races and some guy in a sailor costume for some reason with 4 balls. Also posing at every opportunity.

Note that I have not been spoiled about this before hand, but it is just so freaking obvious that LisaLisa is JoJo's mom. If the repetitive name didn't give it away, then the fact JoJo's dad never had ripple should have been enough.

God if only I could remember what game it was and find a gif saying "YOU MADE IT THROUGH STAGE 2" to announce I made it through part 2 of JoJo. So yeah I was right about my spoiler, and oh my god every time JoJo tried seeing her naked or taking her panties I kept thinking he'd have some kinda freakout moments later, but no, he's told in what amounts to offscreen.
What was it in part 2 that actually made me go "how bizarre!"? I can't remember now, I think I might have done that when ACDC latched his heart onto JoJo's back. Nazi cyborgs, unfortunately, was not bizarre at all. I kinda saw it coming with the little hints they gave.
Now to start part 3! The part where stands and all the popular JoJo memes come from.

Stands are cool but in part 3 they're not as creative yet as in later parts. The term "Punchghosts" got made to make fun of the fact that most of the stands were just straight up battle powers whereas later parts have some really weird shit that has to be used in weird ways to make it useful in battles.

The most bizarre part of part 3 would probably be Alessi IMO.

The stands in part 3 are way better than the other shit.

Not really, most of them are cool but the lack the inventiveness, uniqueness and bizarreness of a lot of Stands in later parts imo.

Part 4 and 5 had the best stand shenanigans.
The cell tower in 4 is worth mentioning as well as Golden Experience in 5.

Best part is still 3. Only because of Dio and Za Warudo.
