No really, I'm sick of this shit.
I expected better.

I was thinking while reading : "I know this style, idk why" Check the mangaka "Oh, that it, I'm dumb"

I understand that Bleach was a major show in the 2000-2010 decade, but is that really enough to justify making an anime for the mangaka's next series when it only has 4 chapters??? Did Crunchyroll decide to back this project after hearing it was by the creator of Bleach without reading a single page of it? Releasing a new manga one month then releasing a new anime show or movie one or two months later seems absurdly fast to me.

Crunchyroll had nothing to do with the anime, this was all Shueisha. This manga was something that Kubo did in his personal time and was completed before it was even decided to be published and the editor-in-chief of Jump asked him to let them publish it, for context the current editor-in-chief of Jump used to be Kubo's editor and seemingly friend. It basically looks like the editor-in-chief of Jump liked it so much that he decided to move foward with the movie and season 2 of the manga.

Why are so many people assuming it's yuri? Like I remember why some people though the oneshot was gonna be yuri, but I don't see what would imply yuri for this one (Keeping my eye on Ninny though).

If you've never had a concussion, the last chapter of this is a very accurate simulation of the experience.

The male sub-MC is obviously going the ichigo route again, being the son of a hero, dragonclad, what's next? Wizard and a Half dragon?

@Seppuku_San Exactly. Panties obsession is such an overdone character trait, and that's just a sub-type of general perversion being too common among male leads. Wanting to see panties is not a personality, it's some bullshit the readers have to put up with while we hope an actual likeable character develops. And this is too hamfisted. I feel bad for all the assistants who had to help draw this nonsense.

It seems like most male shounen leads are either obsessed with some fetish, or basically aesexual unless boobs literally land on his face. If the MC of this manga existed in real life, he'd probably get suspended from school or arrested for sexual assault on a train or something. Why can't more writers have male leads with an average and healthy amount of energy? Or are Otakus in Japan this desperate 24/7 that this loser appeals?

You know what would have been good? More witches and cool dragons. Because we want to see magic sh*t go down and dragon asses kicked. Unfortunately the moron screaming screaming about panties took up too many panels.

Oh sh*t, I just noticed Kubo Tite, wrote this garbage? Wow. Kubo's ability to craft a plot quickly dropped to 0 after the flaming bird guillotine thing, but most of his Bleach characters were decent. This is what happens when a successful author lets power get to his head. Editors become too afraid to tell a popular person they wrote a load of hot cr*p and it needs major overhauls.

I smell Cancellation/Rushed Finish in the near future.

The state of Shounen manga is terrible right now between sexually-desperate losers as MCs and videogame power fantasy isekai copy pastes. Radiant is the gourmet stuff, Colorless is going strong, Shoukoku no Altair provides, and the demon academy one is okayish, Detective Conan's author apparently got sick or something and vanished for a long time, and One-Piece continues to do its own thing, but I got off that boat long ago. What else is good these days?

Luckily Seinen is doing okay with Mieruko, Houseki, Dungeon Meshi, and Golden Kamui.
