I'm not. I'm mad that this series (and especially Ufotable's Bollywood-tier movies) was treated with a level of prestige, hype, and cultural seriousness that it doesn't deserve and doesn't reflect to its writing, though. You might see this as 'kino', I see it as generic pulp trying to cosplay as serious cinema with the idiots behind the anime pushing for Oscars/BAFTA recognition, getting marketed like a blockbuster event (only to drop off by -75.5% after just one weekend), and being hyped by Japanese media as something profound.

This series to me, is like Marvel movies to Scorsese. Y'know, when he compared them to theme parks? Well-made, entertaining, but lacking revelation, mystery, genuine emotional risk, or the human psychological depth he values in real cinema. They're designed to satisfy a specific set of demands and are variations on finite themes, but they're not true artistic expressions. Ford said the same thing and called them despicable for being formulaic, repetitive, and lacking artistic value.

Does that sound familiar to you? Because shounen anime are just like that. The anime industry is so risk-averse, focusing on safe adaptations of established manga (roughly 90% of projects) rather than original stories.

I really like this series and it is definitely sad to see it end, especially when Ohkubo isn't really working on anything anymore.
It was great seeing the ending with anons again after reading it with everyone here years ago.
I will definitely miss it, I love this world and characters.

Chapter 66

It's been a while but it's time for another volume. Previously, Shima and Hatsushiba were having to deal with a partnership with Chufa that seemed to be a little two-faced as they had to deal with some false advertising Chufa was putting out while at the same time, politicians and Japanese business leaders were debating what the launch of the Shenzhou 5 space mission meant more broadly for China's emerging global role.

However, the main story development was the return of Noriko which was brought about by the passing of another member of the Hatsushiba old guard when Oizumi died following a bad fall. With Oizumi gone, Noriko decided to move to Beijing to take over the snack bar Oniyama and after arriving, immediately caught the eye of Chufa's CEO Sun Rui. The two entered into a relationship with Sun at first trying to hide his status but eventually revealed it after learning the Noriko's ex-lover was Shima. Trying to compete with Shima, he held a large party to introduce Noriko as the woman he loved but Noriko would leave in huff... a ploy on her part to show Sun who was really in control in their relationship.

>>287208925
The arc should be following a few POVs with only occasionally switching to an event like Gilbert taking out two guys. It should just be following Koga and Ryuki, Ohma, Raian, and Shen while every other character gets fed to them. I know it sounds awful but that's the only way to not have this arc drone on forever. I'd rather just have Waka take his shot at Shen instead of watching him fight Himuro pointlessly.

>Hatsumi can't keep flaking till the last minute because there's a good chance he'll be fighting a version of their opponent that doesn't exist anymore because they already improved
>Rei still needs to work on turning his inherited lethal techniques into something workable but non-lethal

And then you have guys like Gaolang who just broke his hand or Waka who simply ate shit to the main character. These are all cream of the crop Fighters save a few clowns and guys who are a bit unpolished. There isn't a whole lot of avenues you can take these guys beyond polishing them up a bit

You didn't even disprove any of what that anon said. He said Gohan doesn't crave battle, then you listed examples where Gohan fought out of duty to protect others. Those aren't the same as Goku waku wakuing over the idea of fighting a strong guy.

You're missing the point. Characters can be good in ways that don't involve exploring their space empires and their politics for dozens of chapters. Freeza isn't some kind of in-depth psychological exploration of the mind of a tyrant or something, not because Toriyama wasn't good enough to write that but because he didn't have to be that. It would make him worse, not better. Freeza had to be this big antagonist figure and a lesser writer would've just made him generic sadistic evil but Toriyama made him more than this and delivered with fantastic presentation and an endearing personality. Freeza is one of the most iconic villains in manga (only slightly overshadowed by Vegeta stealing his spotlight as the MC rival) because he was very well executed and part of one of the greatest arcs in manga.

>generic sadistic evil but Toriyama made him more than this and delivered with fantastic presentation and an endearing personality
So instead he's generic sadistic evil but talks funni.

>>287229264
That post you linked is moronic. "Aura farming" is peak zoomer irony poisoning where characters are attacked for the great crime of looking cool. The rest of your post is nonsense too. I think Frieza murdering Goku's race and father does matter. I think his evil empire that's genociding Namek does matter. Please actually read Dragon Ball for once.
