And I did like the Chimera Ant arc very much. I don't love EVERY SINGLE aspect about it, but it is definitely very good.

I watched Hunter x Hunter 2011, then read up to the Chrollo vs Hisoka fight. A bit after that, I dropped off because I wasn't into the hiatuses and the current arc having so many new characters to get invested in, along with the typical Togashi wordiness. I respect it, but I'm probably going to wait until this arc is over. Which will be in a decade lol.

I've been alright. Spring break just started for me. I'm trying to figure out how to spend my time.

And not really. I sort of know the basic premise, but there's no way in hell I'm reading this arc in manga format with all of these hiatuses, an onslaught of new supporting characters I could hardly care about, and pages like this:

Spoiler:

I feel really bad for anybody who translates this manga.

The link doesn't work either lol.

Yeah, the fights in Part 5 are cool. Although the ice armor guy was annoying. He just wouldn't stay down lol. Reminded me of how long it took for everybody to defeat Vegeta in the Saiyan Saga of Dragon Ball Z. I don't really care for Giorno though. He's pretty bland to me, with his only defining trait being "MY DREAM". You hear more about his supposed personality from the other characters commenting on his actions than from Giorno's own words, actions, thoughts, and expressions. The last of which always looked boring blank. The supporting cast is great though. Some of the best in the series. I do like the Italy setting too though. And I don't like Araki's first art-style either. It just felt painfully stiff and generic. He really found his voice at some point in Part 4, and just kept rolling with it. Although nowadays in Parts 7 and 8, I think he could vary up his facial features more.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been talking a lot with another forum member through visitor messages so much that it sort of swamped over everything else.

Yup, I hate how that feeling of emotional paralysis comes and goes. But at least I'm about to finish this semester by Wednesday. And I can relate to procrastination lol. In fact, I typed up the last half of a ten page research paper at school on Tuesday before class and wrote a whole thirty-page script in less than twelve hours that counts for 50% of my screenwriting course grade right before taking the final on Thursday. I'm insane, or maybe even a masochist lol. I hope you have dealt with your work well.

It was alright. I got depressed for the last bit of it because I sort of had to accept that a couple of my very few close friends won't talk to me much anymore, but the break from school has been nice. I'm glad you had a nice time seeing your family again. I would prefer enjoying holidays with friends, but none of friends of my friends live near me so that's a pipe dream lol.

What do you think of GioGio?

Jojo gets better in each part both art and story-wise up to Part 4. Which starts off like a slice of life series about loligagging high school students that happen to run into Stand users before eventually focusing into mainline murderer goose hunt. It's my favorite Part.

How many episodes of Naruto did you watch. It takes several episodes to get through the motions, but it gets plenty interesting at some point. And the art-style is great.

Dr. Stone is not a battle shonen. Think of it more like a lighthearted RPG sidequest science education manga in a future where the world is reverted to the stone ages. It's quite unique and has nice flair. It starts off mild, but it gets more and more interesting. And the main character scientist is freaking great as a cackling arrogant jerk with a heart of gold.

So... nah, not interested in Black Clover. Although it is more tolerable than Fairy Tail, but that is hardly something to praise.

Man, I always find that medieval action-adventure shonen series disappoint me. And I say this as a Lord of the Rings fan lol.
