    Funny thing with the bath scene, one of my favorite scene happens in one of those: in the lead up to the final fight after the gang return from their 3 or so years of training in hell they are full of confidence they are stronger than ever and also acquire the elemental spirit, but then Yoh nonchalantly destroy all that by saying something like _yeah, but Hao also train in hell for 900 years_ ... like damn, that was brutal...

    Funny thing is that Project ARMS also had the main characters going on a road trip across the US later on, and Hayato ends up aggro some black harlem thugs at one point. Though it had this blind mystic named Mama Maria who plays a part in Hayato's and Violet's character arcs. Yet ARMS never really caught any attention here.

    There were like 3 small channels hyping it up but they very quickly turned on it when it turned out to be terrible.
    Also, I believe Takei just has a thing for feminine boys. Ultimo has 12 of those who wear no shirts and a villain who is an effeminate boy who is also the reincarnation of an ancient consort of the protagonist's previous reincarnation. Thus, the entire conflict comes from a spurned lover turned spurned homosexual for the author's fetish.
    Oh, and Stan Lee was involved in it for some reason.

      Oh.....that manga.
      I started out being so hyped when it first came out.
      But the problem as usual with the writer is that it gets convoluted and messy.....then he gets burnt out and the story gets cancelled.
      Making it a slog to read even if I at the time liked the art.
      And yet he made another manga which also went nowhere and cancelled.

    Shaman King, like Toriko, is a B-tier shonen that never achieved A-tier popularity.
    Kenshin + Shikamaru + Naruto= Yoh.
    People stopped caring about remake when they heard it was going to be 52eps. It was a rushed adaption of a series that was poorly adapted in the 00s.
    Lastly, you were way more positive than I expected, probably bc there isn't much hype behind it lol.

      Shaman King's authors like Oda were former assistants of Nobuhiro WATSUKI's Kenshin creator.
      One of Oda's contributions to Kenshin can be noticed in the last arc.

    The sequels are even worse since most of the characters that died get revived including the X-Laws despite getting their souls devoured by Hao’s spirit which was supposed to erase them from existence and the mariachi guy and Muslim who also get revived despite stating they couldn’t get revived since bodies got badly damaged. Also, the new series is basically Boruto for having new characters that are supposed to be the new generation but get eclipsed by the old characters who most of them are supposed to be dead but can get constantly revived to get a power up just like in DBZ.

    now that you are making overviews about certain titles again, can you make an overview of the .hack franchise ?

    At one point Yoh comes back from Hell and says he could have gotten even stronger than Hoh but if he beat Hoh all that would prove is that only power matters. The manga would have been better if Yoh tried to defeat Hoh using the power of friendship instead of brute strength, especially since Hoh tries to win using the latter and dislikes the former.

    I have watched the anime adaptation. I have similar experience with, I really like the beggining few episodes but find the rest dull. I dropped it so I never know the ending.
    My favorite character and only character I have great interest in is the blacksmith spirit that was fused into a notebook pc and was the spirit partner of the schoolmate dwarf, but he was not utilized much and becomes almost extraneous later on which contributes to my waning interest.

      @Stepup-og8tu Hmmm. While there is no anime/manga that I fanboy over I do enjoy many of them, at least for some time. Most of them just becomes dull after sometime. I have enjoyed Perfect Blue the most so I call that my favorite. Being a movie helps a lot with that.
      If you are asking for an anime/manga series instead of a film, then I'll go with my childhood favorite: Digimon. I really like the first seasons of the franchise but not really into their later output.

      Yeah the FB reboot was better than the previous FB,think it like FMAB and FMA stuff,the older FB was produced when the manga still being serialized,it just in this cases the FB reboot being way more better in most aspect (where as in FMAB or FMA both version has maybe 50/50 opinion on both version considering im fan of 03 due to better tones,more fleshed out cast like the Homunculus but there other prefer FMAB version) than the first adaptation,meanwhile the older Fruit Basket was leaning heavily to it comedy aspect compared to the newer one that give more priority to the drama and story due to the finished source materials.
