>>78837245
Yeah, I dunno, I think I'm just bound to never be fully satisfied. I believe Kubo went on the record of saying something like "Well if you can do it better, show me" in regards to criticisms about Bleach's plot direction.

It started off pretty neat, though. I don't know where I expected it to go, but I'm tired of main protags having a secret forbidden mixed bloodline of ancient power.

Ichigo was a weird kid with an odd ability that got sucked into something larger-than-life (or larger-than-death) and through his sheer bullheadedness found himself becoming better at adapting to the bizarre circumstances than anyone expected.

Okay, this works.

Now he's essentially just another Naruto with super special blood or some shit.

japan has a blood line culture though. not as prominent as it was before ww2 but its still there for pretty much anything important. (western culture still has it too but to a lesser extreme).

>>78837519
That is sadly the case with Jump style Manga. They either get canceled and have shitty rushed endings over half a dozen chapters or live long enough to become unrecognizable trash. You can't really blame them because they spend all this time making a really great story good enough to get them published but eventually what they planned comes to an end and they have to keep coming up with endless content until it becomes so unpopular it gets canceled, all while still doing 16+ pages a week.

I didn't even know stories could end until I started reading books 8 years ago. I grew up on endless manga with shitty endings and comics that were just tiny arcs over and over again.

This is why i'm surprised One Piece has lasted. Even at its lowest points I dont think any part of One Piece could be considered bad, except maybe Fishman Island. Everyone but Hody and Vander Decken were completely forgettable with shit designs
>>
>>78837873
Admittedly, some manga do the long game well. JoJo manages to keep things fresh, though that's probably because they change characters for every part, so far I'm loving the hell out of Berserk, which stays good by never updating.
I think the big problem with Shonen Manga is that the longer it goes on the more powerful the characters become, to the point where anybody that doesn't start revealing secret demon heritage becomes irrelevant.
You see a similar thing happen with some Western long running comics like TWD and Invincible, though they suffer more from a problem where a lack of status quo becomes a status quo.
>>
>>78837986
Jojo doesnt count. Each part is a completely different story. Berserk is still good but I miss the grounded dark feudal fantasy feel that slowly went away after the Lost Children arc

S5 had background references to planes, trains and automobiles, 'lucy's' psychiatry booth with a bunch of peanuts looking characters walking past and a not so subtle namedrop of 'winter is coming'
Also a character parodying lady gaga with digital music and autotune and everything if that counts as a homage

This is why Rurouni Kenshin is the best Shonen Jump manga. Power levels are kept to suspension of disbelief-level normal, good fight scenes that actually have lasting impacts on the health and emotions of the characters, and the series lasts only 28 volumes. Enough for all the main characters to get fully developed and for all the loose ends in the story to be tied up, but not padded past its usefulness. It was written with a clear end in mind, so it's able to keep a good pace all the way through.

I think the only other SJ maga that has not completely fallen apart over its length has been One Piece. Mostly because it set up a world Oda could fill in later.
Naruto and Bleach have fucked up because they started with limited premises they then threw out because the author could not expand beyond what he had set up, which was not much.
Compare the clumsy escalation of power level in Naruto and compare that to how One Piece completely circumnavigates that issue by making characters almost impossible to compare for the most part.
Not to mention the rise of the Strawhat Pirates from provincial nobodies to minor players on the world stage over years with an ever-expanding network of interlinked pirate crews and their fates, marine command, the revolutionary army, world government and many more.

Yeah it's a shame that it's non-existant in US but that's because he shot himself in the foot by naming 90% of the characters after western bands and songs.

Also because it's whacky as shit. I love JoJo.

They were always more like really athletic wizards from the first episode on.

It;s just depressing how even if the series is brought more to the states, it has to be heavily altered just to make a bunch of musician's lawyer's happy, like the name of their fucking band or song is going to steal money away from them. It's so frustrating that America will never have Jojo in it's complete form, if at all.

All for the sake of a shitty and forgettable "boss fight".
I liked a lot of things in that last arc, but in general it just felt very disappointing.

Nope, although a lot of episodes were done by Japanese studios, and there were later, Japanese exclusive seasons. The original cartoon was an american production, albeit one based on Japanese toys(with character designs largely done by a Filipino).

I don't think Araki cares; one of the most frequently needed to be changed references are those to Prince, since he's very sue-happy. Yet Araki continues to name things after his music, including the Stand of the protagonist of part 8.

That's what the internet is for anon; the US may not have it in paper but at least it's available online. ASB had that workaround though, in that the subtitles had silly names but they kept the dialog unchanged. Sure the subs say "Zipperman" but Bruno says "Sticky Fingers" regardless.

I can understand if they are forced to change Stand names, I mean I think it's fucking stupid to begin with that copyright law is so assbackwards that even the names can never be used, but changing character names, like fucking Polnareff, I mean yeah it's a reference to the musician, but his whole name isn't the musican's name. You can't fucking copyright a last name.

As far as I know...

Theres no denying DIO is fun, but Kira is just a better villain. DIO will always be a great villain and character, but he is pretty white bread in terms of Jojo villains, and the only person probably lower than him is Diavalo, and only because a villain you have to take a jackhammer to to understand is kind of a shitty villain.
>>
>>78844293
>>78844320
Honestly, I can't think of a single Jojo villain that isn't solid gold.
Diavolo's probably the weakest just because of translation, but even he's great.
My favourite is still America Man though.
