Why does MAGI suck so much recently?
And what shounen manga should I better waste time on?
I would probably still read Magi but it has a really severe case of sameface
most of the main cast is alright but all the fuckers of not-China all look the same.
then there was the Soloman flashback arc where I had no idea what the fuck was going on.
>>142807673
I'm enjoying the corporate battle between Kou and Sindria.
>>142807673
Alma Torran killed the series.
Ali's fight with Zuko and the war against Kou put the nails in the coffin.
This arc is where the series finally gets buried.
They should have kept the series about political shennanigans and dungeon raiding. I honestly can't see why anyone would follow this series unless it's for shipper faggotry or unfathomable boredom.
>>142808174 Prime example here. He says he's in it for the corporate battle but we all know he's a fishfag.
>>142807821
> most of the main cast is alright but all the fuckers of not-China all look the same.
Well they are literally related.
Magi has been pretty great recently but I guess thats just cause I love Arba and Hakuryuu reappeared.
>>142808234
Don't fucking tell me why I enjoy something.
>>142807673
That is what happens when you suddenly do two related series at once.
>>142808302
Would you really care as much if it was Kouha and not Kougyoku?
Do you think think you'd be as invested as you are now if the mangaka wasn't baiting AliKou?
>>142808363
Why should Kouha or Kougyoku matter? It's not like those two are playing that big of a role in rebuilding Kou's economy, Alibaba is doing all the work.
>>142807673
Magi is the best battle shonen in circulation. It might be boring to some, but I find it special and different from the rest of generic shonen.
>>142808684
Are you serious? NNT is shit. Magi is considerably higher.
I been watching the sinbad prequel and I gotta say, I am loving it more than regular Magi.
>>142808779
>>142808322
pretty sure Sinbad was made because of fan complaints about the main series.
>>142808779
That's not a very good endorsement considering the current quality of the series.
>>142807673
Depends on what you originally liked about it.
>>142808779
Because Magi is different from generic shonen so it may annoy people. I appreciate most Magi because I am tired of generic shonen.
>>142807673
I really like Magi. The only other shonen that I liked so much was FMA.
>>142808853
It annoys people because it's poorly written, not because it's 'different'. Actually I like it at the moment, but the rest of the series has been pretty fucking generic.
Magi chapter 310 Spoilers : http://eleore.tumblr.com/post/145848899823/magi-310-spoilers
>>142808983
This is completely false. Magi is one of the best shonen manga written. People are bored because they did not want to read much dialogue and is not interested in the part of political and economic.

Name a better side character in NnT than Sinbad or Ali Baba?
Also Alladin>Meliodas as a protagonist.
>>142808684
>>142809161
Why is everyone comparing Magi to NnT specifically? They don't run in the same magazine and don't have much in common beyond being shounen.
>>142809161
You're joking, right? A woman? Do you know that FMA (one of the best shonen ever) is created by a woman? However, Magi is objectively superior to NNT in all aspects, except maybe art.
>>142809259
>>142809203
>Alladin>Meliodas
Bullshit. And Alibaba is not a side character. Magi has the better cast but NNT is better.
>>142807673
There's plenty to enjoy. The corporate battle, the gay, Arba, the edge, Sinbad, the gay, Alibaba bullying, the edge, etc.
I'm sorry you can't be entertained by that. Maybe it's time you move away from shonen altogether, or try picking up a shitty shonen like Toriko.
>>142809306
If you're gonna go that way, I could argue men wrote Psyren and Toriko.
>>142809198
Are you serious? Are you saying that Magi is misspelled? Tell me a shonen that you think are well-written. I would understand if I have to consider your criticism and respond.
Magi was never very good.
Stop comparing Magi and NNT. Magi is objectively better.
>>142809470
this magi always good
GOD DAMNIT, THIS MANGA NEED TO GO BACK TO ALIBABA AND FISH ARC AGAIN
THOSE TWO CLEARLY SAVE THIS MANGA STORYLINE
WHERE IS MY ALIBABA MUH BLACK SAHARA FRIEND STORY???????
>>142809429
The market has always been harsher to women. They only starting being hired by magazines in the 70s, because there was a shortage of shojo writers (magazines were trying to compete with TV by releasing more series but at the same time male mangakas were all writing shonen and gekiga). Moreover as a matter of fact women aren't as interested in shonen as men are, so there's also that.
>Name five woman who wrote good shounen
Okay.
Keiko Takemiya.
Hiromu Arakawa
Katsura Hoshino
Ohtaka
Kazue Kato
And I'm tempted to include Haruichi Furudate, but that still wasn't confirmed.
>>142807673 (OP)
What do you mean?
All the shounen series out there, Magi is the only series i still look forward to every week
I still read WT if it come out tho, and sometime Fairy Tail for the laugh.
I already lost my interest in series like OP, HxH, NnT year ago
And to me Magi>>>NnT all the way, NnT suck so much after the 1st arc. Atleast Magi ha
>>142808234
Alma Toran suck in weekly basic but rereading in one sitting is fine.
Baba vs Haku literally the best 1on1 fight in Magi, Kou war end in a anti-climatic way but still the war part still good on weekly basic.
It just not your taste then, to me Magi way better than other shounen can offer
>>142809562
Forget to delete the name when i was making the thread the day before
Magi is really the first battle shonen with a choral narration? I think so. It's the first time I see more protagonists in the true sense of the term, not like in HxH or FMA.
Magi is the best ongoing shonen manga without question. Ambitious and engaging storyline, well developed characters, amazing dynamic battles and fancy magic spells, vast world and great sense of humour. There are a few faults here and there like pacing or uneven art quality, but no one has a whole package as solid.
>>142809203
>side character
>Alibaba
Are you serious?
How do you take into account the opinions of people who do not understand even what they read?
>>142809845
It can't be the best when HxH exists.
>>142807673
Just read Seinen instead
>>142809929
Never had a boring moment on Ohtaka's wild ride.
>>142809937
HiatusxAsspull
>>142809937
Hunter x Hunter is okay but hardly makes use of the medium having to much told rather than shown. Also, the author is easily bored so the focus changes are pretty abrupt.
>>142809992
A disagreeable opinion! It must be an enemy lie!
>>142809937
HxH is good but not for the quality of the screenplay (full of asspull and forced, and is not ambitious, it's just very simple). The story of Magi is much more ambitious and much better written. If you prefer the fighting read HxH, if you prefer the story read Magi.
>>142809999
Except Togashi is easily one of the best at panelling and composition in battle shounen. A lot of dialogue doesn't mean a LACK of visual storytelling, which it has in spades. The last page of the most recent chapter alone is more impactful than anything I can recall seeing in Magi.
Magi is not boring. Boredom depends on the person who reads it. If Magi talk about politics or economics and the person is bored it is not the fault of Magi, because the goal of Magi is to offer just that.
I prefer reading 10~20 chapters in 1 sitting than reading a new chapter each week
>>142810056
You have terrible judgement and no self awareness. The last thing anyone could call HxH is unambitious, just look at the CA arc and the current arc.
>>142807673
trying to make mainchar a joke
if you want to make a main char, don't make him a butt in monkey
magi is not really a battle shounen
>>142809161
>>142809289
These days you can't even go on a manga thread without mentioning that the author is a woman if the manga is written by a woman.
Like i get that it probably got your hormone's all excited just thinking about it, but it has no relevance to the discussion at hand. I can't even get into FMA, Magi or KnJ threads without someone mentioning it at least once. Because then the threads goes into other direction.
>>142810225
>magi is not really a battle shounen
True.
Magi is a shonen story driven
>>142809439
>Tell me other shonen that you think are well-written so i can attack you
>>142809929
It's boring to dimwitted retards who can't into economics.
>>142810101
He can do good panelling but doesn't do as often as he should. And dead phone boy is okay, but nothing special.
I just realized that the Dark Continent exists with the same name in Magi and HxH. Which manga was the first to introduce it?
>>142809429
You'll also find 100 men who wrote shitty LN in return, too. What's your point?
>>142810381
HxH
>>142807673
I blame that flash back arc nobody wants.
>>142810481
Magi introduced it in like chapter 7 so i think Magi 1st
>>142809161
>written by a woman
>the character Arba
>Alibaba suffering
>glorious nipples and gore out in open
Ohtaka is better than fat fucks who get boners drawing half naked cartoons anyday
>>142810481
What? Magi introduced the Dark Continent at the beginning of the story. If I remember correctly, in chapter 10.
>>142810566
>>142810632
yeah sorry i was wrong also gook chapter when
>>142808234
>Alma Torran killed the series.
It reallly did. How long was that arc, six months? Half a fucking year without the actual plot taking even one step of progression and even worse, without seeing any of the characters we all grew to know and love by this point. What the fuck was the author thinking?
1.The pacing, it is very slow. Thus, making many people very bored quickly. If you extend things too long, like a lot of long-running shounen, the quality begins to suffer.
2.Adding fanservice as well as comedy ruins the serious tone of the story. Lacks the uniformity of the series.
3. One dimensional villains add little depth and just makes the victimizing card more convenient.
4. The typical shounen value of reviving someone. That loses the value of death after they revive. It does not matter even if it is used once. You have a major character die, he is supposed to stay dead.
5. Aladdin, many things are too revolved around him while he has the greatest plot armor and even there are times when people should realize that he is not considered the true protagonist of the story.
6. Problems being resolved with just magic as a plot convenience as well as there being no knowledge to the limitations of magic that can be abused.
>>142810677
>Alma Torran killed the series
Right after which we got Edgebros.
Personally my most favorite arc, not including the civil war. I honestly don't mind that I had to suffer through flashback arc given what I got after that.
>>142810677
>It reallly did. How long was that arc, six months? Half a fucking year without the actual plot taking even one step of progression and even worse, without seeing any of the characters we all grew to know and love by this point. What the fuck was the author thinking?
But it essential to te story tho, Ohtaka have to tell it either way, at least she have the guts to tell it instead of Naruto with Kaguya come out of nowhere with no back story to back it up because Kishi to scare to add more back story to the story
>>142810680
>The typical shounen value of reviving someone. That loses the value of death after they revive. It does not matter even if it is used once. You have a major character die, he is supposed to stay dead.
Alibaba has never died. His soul was separated from his body, that's all.
And the concept of death in Magi is not normal. Even if a person dies, still exists in the large flow of Rukh.
>>142810728
Yeah, but for the long term, how damaging was the AT arc? How many people dropped the series because they got sick of waiting for their favourite characters to return?
>>142810821
It makes it more convenient to bring them back or in such a way to defend it without a good depth to such a way. No payoff. The author at this point is too scared to kill off a character when appropriate.
>>142807673
>Why does MAGI suck so much recently?
Retard.
>>142810839
Not by much. The sales quickly picked up once the arc ended iirc.
>>142810742
Six months is too long. A three weeks long flashback without any of the SoL shojo protag Sheba fat would have been enough. I can understand Ohtaka really wanted to use Sheba as a character and tell her story, but she could have done that after Magi ends. Leaving Sheba and the rest as one dimensional vaguely mythological beings would have been enough for the amount of useful information we're getting out of this.
>>142810884
I still cant get over how cute she became when she thought Solomon was there.
Fucking retard. He should've just waifued her and saved the kids all this trouble.
>>142810680
1. No, actually, the pacing is a mess, slow at the beginning but fast as fuck at the end of the arc
2. Magi have little fan service compare to other series, mostly fan serivce is for comedy only. To me Ohtaka do great comedy and at a nice time for it too, so i didn't really feel out of place
3. You mean Kouen is one dimensional, some of the arc villains from the beginning is kind of like that but when the confilice between all the major character like Kouen and Sinbad, i can't feel that way anymore
4. There like only 1 major character that got revive and that is Alibaba, and we all know he won't be dead anyway because he too importance to the series, there a lot of plot point for him to solve.
5. But he still is the main protagonists
6. The problems often not getting solve at the end of the arc, they just left it there and accept it is like that
>>142810677
I really appreciate this story arc. Not only was it essential to the story of the Magi, but also demonstrates the courage of the author.
>>142808234
>Alma Torran killed the series.
alma torran was important but it was too long
>>142810918
There's nothing particularly wrong with AT arc. On the other hand, there's many wrongs with the MAGI fanbase.
>>142810905
>implying she'd stop getting wet for Ill Illah if Solomon gave her kids and Ill Illah murdered them
Contrary to popular belief, the dick can't cure everything.
>>142810918
It does, but I also think the author was naive in taking such a risk. I think the best course to take with that arc would have been to make it a seperate serialization ala Sinbad.
>>142810946
Waifuing =/= Dicking
I'm talking about a full-on SoL attack anon.
>>142809971
>calling anything in hxh a asspull
>forgetting how baba came back alive
>forgetting how Judar never died in space and conveniently found that no rukh place
>>142810968
This. Stopping a storyline for 6 months to go on a tangent is already a huge risk, but stopping a storyline for 6 months to go on a tangent that doesn't star any of the characters previously introduced in the story? That's fucking suicidal.
>>142810742
>>142810918
She should have done a spin off series regarding it in sll honesty, then it wouldn't have been rushed either.
even if the anime was shit but the OST was goat

>>142811008
Alibaba has not come back to life! His soul was in another dimension! He is never dead! Although his body was torn to pieces he might return the same, would not change anything.
Judar was never released by the atmosphere of the planet! Ugo helped him and took him in the Dark Continent.
>>142810911
Next time, proofread. I can barely read your mess.
1. We had terrible pacing with flashbacks. Slow as hell.
2. Adding such things to a grimdark setting (slavery, suggested rape, political conflict) ruins the atmosphere. And you just made a subjective opinion on the comedy. The moment you said, "me," you sounded just like any other fan that have rose-tinted glasses.
3. You "feel"? No, you don't do that. You see it from the objective view, not subjective view. Even early in the story, there were too many one-dimensional villains in the series to even care a little about. Self-indulgence. If you even think about getting past that, you are surely mistaken.
4. Then why create such drama in the first place if it was going to be resolved anyways? This is the exact same problem with Dragon ball. Losing tension with the idea of death in many shounen or they are too afraid to lose any character.
5. Him being the main protagonist is the problem.
6. Did you even read #6 correctly?
>>142810475
>>142810625
Holy shit what do you have against men you fucking nu-male?
>>142811021
What are you saying??? AT served to know the universe of Magi, how did the world and the living beings of the current Magi world! It is not true that did not send the story forward.
>>142811141

This is a Magi-fag, /a/!

You tell me, retard.
>>142811119
Talk shit about my waifu Ohtaka again and I'll vote for Trump.
>>142811086
Yes all to convenient.
Hisoka situation has a clear explanation and shouldn't come of suprising but since you fags act like shiposters I'm down too.
This series hasn't even had a significant character from the current verse actually dead yet.
>>142811141
But from a narrative standpoint, the story that is taking place in the current world, at the current time, is far more important than a story that already ended thousands of years prior. Yes, it was good world-building and yes, it helped us get to know the nature of the Magi verse better; but it was all at the cost of the actual plot and characters that are driving it in the here and now.
>>142811186
Go ahead, vote for him. We don't care. Suits the decision of an idiot.
>>142811218

>>142811103
>5. Him being the main protagonist is the problem.
Are you retarded? Aladdin is not the main protagonist because the Magi has a choral story! Actually Alibaba originated before as we know, in fact, Aladdin would have to be a female and only at the last Ohtaka changed his sex making it what it is.
>>142811141
The only informations we needed to propel the story forward was:
David, Arba, Solomon and Sheba's conflict. Who they are, what they did, what they want.
Djiins are former magicians from Alma Torran.
Current human beings are a mix of former beasts and magicians.
The current world was built by Solomon with the intent to get free from Ill Illah and David's grasp on people's destiny.
There, that's it. Did we need to know about Sheba's struggle to ask Solomon out? Did we need to see her bonding with giant cats? Did we need to see barbecue babies? Did we need to see Ugo with glasses? The answer to all these, is of course no. It was interesting and fun, but it certainly wasn't essential to the plot.
>>142811171
You have repeatedly said that men are shitty writers as the main point of your main argument. It's like you have a chip on your shoulder for them
>Psyren and Toriko are shitty mangas because they're made by men
>hundreds of men wrote shitty LN
>men are fat fucks who get boners drawing half naked cartoons anyday
You really have something against them don't you?
>>142811186
Is that a threat or something?
>>142811236
> Aladdin is not the main protagonist
Yes he is. He is the mc and trying to say that Magi has a choral story is another way of hiding the actual bullshit.
>Actually Alibaba originated before as we know, in fact, Aladdin would have to be a female and only at the last Ohtaka changed his sex making it what it is.
And this is relevant? Are you talking out of your ass by adding irrelevant information that has nothing to do with the quality of the story? I should be the one to ask if YOU are retarded. Enough. You clearly shown how underaged you really are. Come back when you are 18.
>>142811330
>you have repeatedly said that men are shitty writers as the main point of your main argument
No I did not. I only wrote the post about Psyren but you still managed to misinterpret all 3 of these posts you quoted. It's amazing somehow.
>>142811330
Dont know about the first 2 but I wrote the 3rd one. You also misquoted me.
>>142811231
No one is willing to care about the actions of an idiot supporting an idiot. Which is why I said "we".
>>142811411

>#TheStruggleContinues
>>142811382
So you're saying that Aladdin is a most important character in the story of Alibaba? Are you serious? They are at the same level because Magi is a choral story .
>>142811383
>>142811401
Whatever it is, you guys act like Magi's author being a female is the only solid reason to defend it on the internet. Please don't get all your panties in a bunch over this little gender thing.
>>142811431
I told you that he IS the mc. Argue all you want, it is his point of view whether regardless you consider him to not be the protagonist. You are literally arguing the idea that every single character is the mc, when in reality, Aladdin is the true main character. He suffers from a great plot armor. And he is a bad protagonist that does not have a uniformity in the series with him and boobs fetish, deformity moments (bad), and barely of a personality other than the usual shounen tropes of being nice.
>>142811492
What?
Claiming that magi is shit because it was written by a woman is the kind of insecure faggotry that's ruins the whole thread.
>>142811194
The case of Hisoka is a real asspull. In the case of Alibaba's no and it does not go against the rules of the universe of Magi. However, I do not know if you understand, but if the Alibaba Body Had Been completely destroyed he would still come back as a soul, and if he Wished he could take the body of someone else. Again to be clear, Alibaba never died. Alibaba has just returned to his size, the explanation of how did you get back we will certainly.
>>142811492
>Whatever it is, you guys act like Magi's author being a female is the only solid reason to defend it on the internet
You need to get your head out of your own anus. You might be able to clear up not only your reading comprehension, but also your persecutory delusions when it comes to men.
I don't know why some of the anons decided to be sexist when bringing women into this. It does not matter based on what gender you are and should solely be based on the quality and character.
>>142811582
Claiming it is great just because it's by a woman isn't right either.
>>142811638
Probably a mix of bait, bad reading comprehension, being underage and bad faith.
>>142811580
The story of Magi is viewed from multiple points of view. It depends on the character at that time. Almost always, the story is seen from the Alibaba point of view. You do not believe me? Try to reread chapters.
>>142811654
And oh surprise, nobody did.
>>142811654
And nobody said that. Stop letting the feminists get to you. We're all the same shade of shitters here.
>>142811689
Oh I know, it is the fact that Aladdin is still the mc. Regardless of how you argue, he is still considered the mc. You are trying to defend a series that is badly written apart from the worldbuilding. You are now saying that he is not the main character. He IS the main character and was put in there because it was supposedly necessary. There are too many bad traits about Aladdin and you keep arguing that he is part of the whole entire cast. Fine, we go by your logic then. Then how will you excuse the amount of bullshit plot armor that Aladdin still has as well as the unnecessary influence he has in the story?
>>142811813
Magi is not misspelled. The story is well written. Why it is poorly written? You are able to argue? You did not understand Magi. Magi from the start was very chorale as story, no one is saying who is the MC. Ohtaka treats his characters equally. Aladdin is important in the story of Magi because it is one of the rare MAGI and is in possession of the Wisdom of Solomon.
>>142812053
I had the list as to why it was not well written, I told you. I understand Magi. But Aladdin as one of the main characters does not fit with his personality and overall character with the story. I told you before, it is not well written. And this,
>Aladdin is important in the story of Magi because it is one of the rare MAGI and is in possession of the Wisdom of Solomon.
That has nothing to do with the story quality. You could have another MAGI with an overall character that can fit with the uniformity of the setting. You are defending this series with rose-tinted glasses and given pathetic and subjective excuses just from saying, "to me" and "feel". That was not objective.
>>142809002
>"Without one you're nothing special"

>>142812253
Says who? It, too, does nothing but say subjective things. If you say that story is written badly let me see the contradictions and errors that are there in the story. I have not found errors in story, everything is consistent. Is there really a shonen underway with a better story? I do not see.

Goddammit Ohtaka. Every Magi thread for the next week is going to be full of shipfags posting that panel isn't it?
>>142812345
That's not contradictions and plot errors I have ever said to be a problem. I told you exactly what makes the series bad. Were all these subjective?>>142810680
No, they were true. It has nothing to do with consistency, it is the quality of the story, setting, and presentation that it suffers. Magi is not good. It lack uniformity (able to fit in with its setting and atmosphere), uses one dimensional villains to create a victim card as more convenient to give characters a reason to fight and limits (magic that can be abused if there are no known limits). It is bad, stop shilling the series.

>>Hakuryuu catches her
He gives her a slight little push. Please don't egg the shippers on. You probably already summoned them, along with the rollfags.
>>142812584
Honestly, the way Hakuryuu wore his black dragon outfit before was better. Now it looks like he's got a bathrobe on,
Hakuryuu will always be cooler and had more entertaining arcs than fagba
>>142812584
So, a fucking Magi can't handle Arba but two teenagers can. Buuuuuuuuullshit.

Are you retarded? Yunan lost because it was defeated by the magical and physical point of view. Hakuryuu and Morgiana have stumped Arba from the physical point of view, not magical.
Holy fuck Arba getting absolutely rekt by Mor. Those fucking legs man. Baba is a lucky man.
I lost my fucking sides at first panel, finally she is getting rekt
>>142812849
Ohtaka seems to be getting a lot flexible with the 'black eyes' thing.
Before it only appeared when Arba and Hakuryuu were making weird faces.

Action: NnT
Characters: On par
Character design: Magi
World building: Magi(we don't know all about NnT)
Plot: Is complicated, NnT has a much simpler plot and doesn't commit as many mistakes. Magi has a complex "grey" story but fails often.

The djinn equip designs are too tier though.

Arba is getting a beating, but it's in a 2vs1, to be fair. And only Hakuryuu has used offensive magic so far.

>>142812996
Does silicone exist in Magi?
So it's clear now, when Toto said "Hakuryuu and Morgiana" she meant "are in fightan combo gg"
>>142812907
Are you serious? The NNT characters are shit. The story often fails? Are you serious? Where and what would be the problems of story? Stop with this comparison. Magi is objectively superior, end.

Why would that mean Alibaba can't go out with her anymore?

Any shipper needs to stop self-inserting as their husbandos. Especially the fujos.
Sinbad's slave arc is such a masterpiece. I never tire of reading it.
In your opinion what kind of manga will be the next manga by Shinobu Ohtaka after the end of Magi?
>>142816496
I honestly don't know. I can't imagine her art style with any other story. For some reason it works with Magi though.
>>142816496
AllI know there will be supevillain milfs.
In your opinion how much could last the final arc of Magi? How many chapters?
Read Medaka Box for shits and giggles.
The thread is dead so have some fresh Fishbaba.
I wish Shinobu Ohtaka would begin to create seinen after the end of Magi. Do you agree?
>>142816899
but magi is pretty much seinen
>>142816819
Up to hundred. Maybe more. It has been 30 chapters, and we already got lots of good things, and not everyone was reintroduced yet.
>>142812905
I just love how you can easily tell that Ohtaka has so much fun drawing Arba.

In your opinion Ohtaka will do a flashback to explain where Alibaba lived as a spirit for 100 years and explain how he returned to his world?
>>142817457
No.
>>142812843
Fucking Morg trying to hurt Arba.
As if she couldn't be worst already.
>>142817457
Maybe something more about meeting the old mage spirit dudes, but we have seen how they returned with Judar, what else is there?
>>142813465
There are only acceptable Hakuryuu pairings are HakuJudar and HakuArba.
Anything else is degenerate.
>>142817564
I mean how did he return to his dimension, not the journey with Judar.
>>142817649
You're a man of culture.
>>142817658
But Alma Torran is where Hakuryuu's magic warped his soul. He met mages, then met Judar, then met mother dragon, and they travelled back to the real world.
>>142817649
Sounds logical.
But what about Hakubaba?
>>142817765
But we saw a picture of Alibaba where there were Wahid and Tess, who had become part of the Dark Rukh after death. How is it that Alibaba has met them?

He only did that when he was already going to those places because Kougyoku asked him to.
>>142819264
He had no idea where to look for them, so he figured it would be better to stay put and try to draw attention to himself by working for the Kou empire.
And he was right: Aladdin contacted him out of his own accord and if not for the Arba interruption they would be still on the way to meet him.

>>142812666
The story is shit point blank. It has alibaba always being shit. He has made some of the most autistic ass decision I've seen a deuteragonist ever make. Such as helping his friend despite knowing he was being used . Him turning down his kingdom and then getting butthurt when it's not being ran how he expected. Expecting help from sinbad then getting butthurt when sinbad turns his words on him. The list can go on with his bad decisions, he'll he couldn't even take out hakuryuu. Then there's a unneeded love story which even increases the shit of the story and isn't needed in any way just to show alibaba suffering which isn't funny but quit annoying. They have the same gay level of forgiveness in this story as every typical shonen which also isn't realistic in anyway. Nobody just forgives the person who killed or comatose your Bestfriend but apparently that's not important. Basically every character besides really aliddin and sinbad was wrote shit. Fish princess reverted back to the weak princess peach type who needs a male help in saving her, morg will more then likely do the same thing. Hakuryuu he has never been a good character ever. But if you like this shit then be my guess like you said what maybe shit to the masses might be great for another person. Hell if that wasn't true FT, toriko, nisekoi and more series would have been cancelled
>>142825816
Thanks for the bump

Is morg a household vassel of hakuryuu now?
>>142825816
>Nobody just forgives the person who killed or comatose your Bestfriend but apparently that's not important.
This one in particular left me scratching my head. Aladdin I could see, because he's a pure shota. But the rest of his household not holding any sort of grudge? Come on, especially Morgiana. She claimed she loved him, yet she had no problem forgiving and becoming friends/partners with the guy who killed her loved one. That's why Fish is a million times better than her. Morgiana can become Hakuryuu's cumdumpster if she hasn't already for all I care.
>>142826817
Morgiana is canonically incapable of hatred. Ohtaka said she doesn't even hate the asshole that owned her back back when she first appeared. If she doesn't hate him, she won't hate anyone.
>>142826496
Fifty bucks she will be. The necklace will be her new weapon.
>>142826974
So, she's autistic?
>>142826817
>That's why Fish is a million times better than her.
Not that I disagree but Fish wasn't exactly mad at Hakuryuu for killing her only friend/fiance either.
>>142826974
>Morgiana is canonically incapable of hatred.
Not true. She said in a character interview she hates all slave owners.
>>142827004
The necklace was given to her by Alibaba. But since he's been "dead" I doubt it was working. Unless I'm wrong. Did they explain how that works?
If she did join Hakuryuu's household, then I agree with this >>142826817 anon. Even if she can't feel hatred and forgave him, thats some next level ntr shit.
>>142827049
more like PTSD, after all she was a slave since she was a kid and is was pointed that she was raped and beaten when she was little, but we will never know if that true.
>>142827095
What bothers me is that absolutely no one was mad. But it doesn't matter I guess. Knowing Alibaba he will welcome everyone with open arms again. Hell Hakuryuu could have spent the time skip fucking Morgiana and Alibaba would still just laugh it off and be his friend again.
>>142827216
>What bothers me is that absolutely no one was mad
His household and particularly Olba was mad as I recall, but Aladdin gave him some moralfag speech and the whole thing was dropped.
>>142827134
The necklace was never a household vessel. Alibaba gave it to her as backup in case the shackles broke but Amon's bird thing never resided in it. It's fair game for another djinn.
And keep in mind Alibaba only gave it to her as a weapon, not a sentimental gift. His intention was for her to use it to stay alive, and her not using it when she can't use Amon's bird in her shackles defeats the purpose of it entirely. The only ones attaching romantic significance to it are the fans.
What happen to a metal vessel after the user "dies"?
Is Alibaba going to get back Amon or he needs conquer again Amon's dungeon?
>>142827216
>Hakuryuu could have spent the time skip fucking Morgiana and Alibaba would still just laugh it off and be his friend again.
He probably would, considering he seemed to have completely forgotten about her when he died.
>>142827585
Stuff like this really makes me wonder where Ohtaka is going with the romance in the series. Is this stuff hinting that AliMor will not happen or is it just bad writing?
>>142828666
The only "real" romantic development between characters is between Alibaba and Morgiana. He's shown interest in her even though it was extremely shallow, and she straight up says she loves him. But that's all debatable depending on who you ask. The rest of the "ships" are just in peoples mind.
>>142828856
Well, Haku had feelings for Mor last time we checked, too. The current status is unclear, however.
>>142828666
Who cares? Alimor a shit.
>>142828900
Thats why I said it was debatable. With Haku though, it was one sided and we haven't seen it again since he got rejected by her. Even after the time-skip with people saying she got romantically involved with him, there has been absolutely zero evidence of that so I don't know where thats coming from.
But at the end of the day it's up to Ohtaka.
>>142807673
Magi's current arc is not that bad, HxH and BnHA.
>>142829003
I think we will only know for sure once Baba meets Mor and Haku. Unless Ohtaka gets creative and finds a way to continue trolling and keep the audience guessing.
>>142828666
AliMor IS the bad writing. Everything about it is totally forced and unrealistic. The writing for this manga has been in the crapper for years but Ohtaka shoving these two together will be the final nail in the coffin.
>>142829003
>there has been absolutely zero evidence of that
Well, there is some evidence if other characters are saying Morgiana can't be Alibaba's girlfriend because she's 'with Hakuryuu.'
>>142829208
Oh right I forgot about That comment. I took it to mean that they were together in the literal sense, but in that case why didn't she mention Aladdin? Ohtaka sure loves trolling her fanbase and Alibaba.
I guess we will see in a couple of week when they all inevitably meet again.
>>142829208
True but it's not conclusive yet, due to a) Ohtaka's history of ship trolling and b) currently it is easy to turn it into some sort of misunderstanding/assumption on Toto's part.
So far nothing has been shown onscreen that proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Haku and Mor are together now. Even him helping her in battle like that is ultimately more clever ship baiting - it could be an indicator of romance but it could just as easily be Haku helping her as a friend/ally and being over her.
>>142829127
AliMor is literally the only relationship in the series that even hints at romance. Any other ship are simply delusional.
>>142829421
The autism in this post is suffocating.
>>142827585
It's called comedy retard. When things are serious Alibaba has shown what he feels.
Can't you see that is LITERALLY a comedy moment where Judar mocks Alibaba?

>>142829773

Like what? HakuMor that got shot down the second Mor said she loved Alibaba? FishBaba that has only ever been portrayed as a friendship? Maybe some of the fujo ships that Tumblrinas obsess over?

Talk shit about Fish and Mor all you want. But don't you dare attack best girl Elizabeth.
Who says that Magi is poorly written is delayed and do not discuss more of this because it is useless. Mention the Alibaba choices as if they were a failure of writing is to be delayed since those scenes were done deliberately by the author for specific reasons. Among all shonen being published there is nothing better than Magi from the point view of writing.

Enei is pretty "blink and you'll miss it". I mean, one of their most romantic scenes is a volume extra page (that talk about Kouen not showing his feelings) rather than part of the main story.
It doesn't help that Kouen hasn't really thought about her or worried in forever.

NnT only gets better after it's first arc. Do you not appreciate more world building, character development/characterization, a less straight forward plot/story?
>>142809508
It WAS. Until the arc with the old man Magician (forgot his name) ended. After that, Magi has been constantly disappointed and just all over the place. People only hyped it after that point because it was "different".
There's a reason it's not getting a season 3 and it's not selling much anymore. It went downhill.
>>142810056
>and is not ambitious, it's just very simple
Kek
HxH and Magi shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. It's on a completely different level of storytelling to every other shonenshit.
>>142813102
NnT characters are more interesting, by a LONG shot and have better designs. You're so butthurt, bro. I will say, Magi at the beginning was better. But NnT is superior now and has been for a while.
I know for a fact that you don't even read NnT. I 've stuck with Magi for so long and finally dropped it when the bullshit futuristic stuff came and so did many others.
>>142835020
That's not the problem. People loved Magi because of the political shenanigans and that it didn't rely heavy on fights. But the story simply got messy, along with the art and characters.
>>142835209
>HxH and Magi shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence
Fucking this, HxH is a fucking disgrace. I would say lets not ruin the thread by posting shit from that series but since the thread is currently about shipping shit right now, what the hell.
>>142835078
>Until the arc with the old man Magician (forgot his name) ended.
If you can't even remember his name, how can you say Magi's goodness ended there?
>After that, Magi has been constantly disappointed and just all over the place.
The arc you just describe was basically all over the place. It ended with a clusterfuck of everyone arriving to the final battle, even though it was simply a war between two opposing kingdoms. All thanks to Arba/Gyokuen's generic antagonistic fuckery. The 2 arcs ahead of it were much more engaging.
>>142809508
>>142835078
>>142835235
Why are Magi and NNT being compared? Magi is a political manga. NNT is a fantasy manga. They have nothing in common aside from both revolving around kingdoms.
>>142835441
I forgot his name because it was so fucking long. That arc was well organized and easy to follow.
But you're right about them being different and shouldn't be compared. I just wanted to confront the anon who was claiming Magi is objectively better, when it isn't.
I love both Magi and NNT but lets be real here Magi is superior in almost every way except maybe fights and that's debatable.
>>142835209
Aside from the complexity of Gon's character, there's nothing special about HxH's story telling.
>>142835570
Magi is superior when it comes to the cool politics and battle/magic system. It WAS also better when it came to complexity, but that complexity has turned to convoluted mess a long time ago.
>>142835586
Gon is possibly one of the worst things about the manga. I love HxH, but he's just not cool.
Hang on a sec. Is Ohtaka setting up a parallel situation with Alibaba and Fishprincess that went right to Sinbad's and Celendine's fuckup?
>>142835729
>but that complexity has turned to convoluted mess
Do tell
>>142835570
>except maybe fights and that's debatable.
Almost every fight in Magi is bland and obvious, aside from the fights that involve Aladdin and Ugo. NNT does a good job of adding a plot-twist to almost every fight.
To back it up, the latest fights from both series are perfect examples of what im talking about.
The latest Magi just Yunan spamming lightning against Arba before ultimately losing as ultimately expected. There was not much expectations from the fight, since it was basically just those two just happened to encounter each other.
NNT had Meliodas take on the ten. It was blatantly told before that he couldn't take them all at once once his power was restored, so the reader was simply watching his heroic end. Although, it was unexpected he was actually planning to win and had a plan all along when he pulled Revenge Counter out.
Sinbad going from a morally gray political Savant to a God complex villain is what killed Magi for me. I like this character I wasn't okay with everything he did but at least he was interesting in doing it but now he's just straight-up the villain and he's infinitely more boring because of it
>>142835880
That scene was the very definition of asspull. But if you dare bring it up in the HxH threads you get automatically accused of being a salty Chrollofag.
Hisoka is one of my favorite characters, but come on. You can't read that chapter with a straight face and say it was good writing.
>>142835773
What's to tell you? It's in front of your face. Ohtaka made the same mistake as D. Gray Man's mangaka, trying to make your story complex and grey, but ended up turning it into a confusing mess. The "all over the place" art doesn't help.
Magi at the start was just about 3 travelers going around exploring dungeons, the amazing world and kingdoms where intriguing politics were going on.
The manga has changed since then and not for the better.

>Almost every fight in Magi is bland and obvious

Yeah pic related says otherwise

Not really and I'd take interesting character conflicts over a plot-twist for "every fight" any day
>NNT had Meliodas take on the ten.
Again lies most of them just stood and watched, everyone knew Meliodas would lose and everyone knows hes coming back sooner or later great "plot-twist"

>>142836228
I literally told you why. Of course, not in big ass paragraphs because that's unneeded. You can just look at the start of Magi and look at it now. It's visually explainable. It's become a mess.
It's like you only read that one line.

No no you didn't, you just said it changed and not how it's a convoluted mess.
>>142835209
HxH is the prime example of using a lot of words to tell nothing. It's verbosity is useless fluff which doesn't develop or enrich anything. There is nothing ambitious about it.
>>142836173
>Buzzwords and lies
Out of the 50 something fights Magi had, only 3-4 were actually engaging.
>Yeah pic related says otherwise
She immediately came back 2-3 pages later. At least they gave a sigh of relief when Majin Buu immediately came back after Vegeta's sacrifice.
>Not really and I'd take interesting character conflicts over a plot-twist for "every fight" any day
When I meant plot-twists, I meant proper plot-twists. Every shonen fight contains plot-twists fyi. If we knew the outcome from the start, it'll usually just be off-screened.
Once again, Yunan vs Arba was out of the blue and it was obvious Yunan was going to lose. Meliodas vs the 10 had the reader think Meliodas was stalling for his friends, but it was actually him planning to win.
>everyone knows hes coming back sooner or later great "plot-twist"
It's not really a "plot-twist". Name one title protagonist from ANY media that has died and stayed dead the whole series.
>>142836172
Dungeon were the focus of the first two volumes. By volume four we were introduced to the world and players up to Alma Torran foreshadow. By volume twelve the current plot was already set in stone. Only an illiterate baby can find it convoluted.
>>142836172
Man, the dungeons were so good.
>>142836172
>Magi at the start was just about 3 travelers going around exploring
What the fuck? It was 3 of them for like one arc.
>>142836010
>>142836010
Agreed. I can tolerate it because or was so obviously foreshadowed (Ohtaka's pretty blatant there), but I can't say I like it.
>>142834744
Wew magifag, I already said that the series is shit,
. If you're baiting for (you) then here
>>142811613
Hisoka is an asspull but so is Judar getting redirected back to earth after getting punched on a single unending vector.
Both have flimsy explanations that have existed prior in the story with better buildup. And both are equally stupid because they didn't need to happen to get the result they ended up at. (Judar needed to get punted from the fight into the dark continent and Hisoka needed an out from a fight he clearly lost)
They're both badly written
>>142837268
>Judar getting redirected back to earth after getting punched on a single unending vector.
Trying to drag Magi down to HxH's level huh?
Sorry but Judar getting saved was Ugo's doing so not an asspull nice try.
>>142837377
How is Ugo, a character that is established to not be able to manifest in the world of Solomon since the seal on the flute was destroyed, and yet somehow he saves a guy from an unyielding trajectory away from earth. Not an asspull?
>>142837451
Because he's fucking God.
>>142837495
Did you miss the point where he can't directly interfere with Solomon's world? Hence why he resorted to recycling Yunan and Reim's Magi's consciousnesses for hundreds of years in preparation for all this war.
It's ok anon, you can admit that Magi has moments of bad writing.
>>142837575
>Did you miss the point where he can't directly interfere with Solomon's world?
Did you miss the part were he summoned Aladdin to the Room of fortitude and tried to do the same for Judar?
Reread the series
What the fuck is even going on in this thread anymore? The last time I was here, the shipping bullshit started so I GTFO'd.
Well at least it's an actual discussion again and not tumblr-lite.
>>142837691
So going to the room on the original world is the same as manifesting in solomon's world right?
Please tell me you're joking? Please tell me how what Ugo did was anything near the same as getting people's Rukh into the room of solitude?
>>142837782
It's not like Ugo personally fetched Judar. He willed for him to fly back just like the god he is.
>>142834786

>>142837451

you do know Judar got BTFO of Solomon's world right?
>>142838033
That doesn't change the fact that he cannot manifest outside of Alma Torran without a metal vessel. He's still effectively the administer of Solomon's world but he has rules to obey.
>>142838211
top kek
>he cannot manifest outside of Alma Torran without a metal vessel.
Source?
>>142807673
Read MHA its without a doubt the best on going manga right now
>>142838299
>Source?
The manga. He doesn't leave the room of solitude at any time except when his flute has the seal.
But since you're resorting to saying that I'm moving goalposts I accept that you can't explain why Judar getting saved from space by a character who physically can't be there isn't an asspull.
>>142838398
>The manga.
I meant chapter number dude

But..you are

>magifag
Ah so you're shitposting afterall. I knew there was a massive logical fallacy about your entire argument. Thank you for clearing up you were merely flinging shit without actually having anything of substance to contribute.
>>142838489
Reread chapter 237.
He's never seen outside the room of solitude without the flute anyways anon. Why are you arguing this?
>Can't directly interfere with solomon's world
>Can't manifest in the world of solomon
He's the administrator for Solomon's world and currently a djinn. We know that Djinn cannot exist outside of Al Torann without the use of a metal vessel and a magi. At best they can lend their power through djinn equip but their ego doesn't appear as a result. His vessel is destroyed so the extent of his influence is regulating the rukh of the Magi as he has been doing for centuries. Nothing I said contradicts itself, The reason he created the magi system in the first place was to have a force on Solomon's world that could directly act on Solomon's world.
So once again. How did Ugo, a being restricted to Al Torann now that his metal vessel is destroyed, intervene on Judar's behalf? Answer? It's an asspull.
>>142838580
Try has hard as you want anon your bait isn't going to work. You clearly see that this series is now shit and can't prove it wrong so you try to call what I say as bait. So you're without a doubt a magifag. So keep enjoying your "great series"
>>142838830
>He's never seen outside the room of solitude without the flute anyways anon.
So it wasn't stated out right?
>>142838999
Can you not read? Can you explain how Ugo who is now a Djinn would be able to appear on Solomon's world?
Not that it matters you're trolling hard now and I took the bait.
>>142839115
Why are you dodging the question?
>>142838322
I would've slaughtered you, but the MHA fanbase has been a lot less cancerous this week. So I'll let you slide with that.
>>142839199
You have dodged every question I've asked. It is directly stated if you follow the logic of how Djinn work. Ugo is no exception to this rule.
>>142839270
>Dodging again
Going to take that as it wasn't stated out right and that was just your assumption.
>Ugo is no exception to this rule.
Yeah he is, being God an all.
>>142836476
>Out of the 50 something fights Magi had, only 3-4 were actually engaging.
First off Magi doesn't have that many fights and second pretty much all of them are more engaging than the boring generic good vs. evil shit from NNT.
Hell NNT isn't even that most of the times, since two of the major villains were being brainwashed or blackmail and we weren't even told so until right after the fact, so no interesting character moments came from them being forced to fight their allies against their will. Plus both instances, felt hand wavy as fuck.
Unlike Magi which is filled to the brim with interesting character conflicts during fights even between two secondary characters pic related
Not to mention also every fight in NNT is a one sided stomp Meliodas vs. Dolor & Gloxinia, Meliodas vs Galan, Galan first fight with the sins, Escanor vs. Galan & Merascylla, all the Vampires of Edinburgh fight etc. One sided fights aren't necessarily bad but NNT has way too many.
>She immediately came back 2-3 pages later.
So? Doesn't change the fact that your previous statement was bullshit claim. Damaging your credible. Until that moment we have never seen her or anyone in the series do something of that nature, so don’t try and claim it wasn't surprising because that’s bull and its also just plain awesome moment.
>I meant proper plot-twists.
What are these plot twists because all I remember is new power up after new power up like Ban random "remove is presence" power that for some reason he didn't use until now, Escanor's bullshit? during night-time sun mode etc
>If we knew the outcome from the start, it'll usually just be off-screened.
Most fights in NNT that we know the outcome of aren't off screened.
>Meliodas vs the 10 had the reader think Meliodas was stalling for his friends
Really? No you didn’t unless you're stupid. The whole reason they left in the first place was because they were out outmatched who fuck thought they were all going to go rushing to their deaths? God you're reaching. Yunan vs Arba was way more up in the air that fight and you know it
The only thing NNT has over Magi fights is the choreography that's it and even that hasn’t been on point in NNT recently.
>>142837764
i know right. Anyway time to ROOOOOOOOOOLL

Did you not see Meliodas' scuffle with Zledris? Which was only a few chapters ago.
>>142840870
Meh nothing compared to pic related
Also it doesn't make sense that Zledris was able to unsheathe his sword and cut Meliodas faster than the latter who already had his sword out and then get immediately out sped, knocked into the air like a rag doll.
>>142841163
and this
>>142841163
>>142841197
You forgot that he doing the entire thing while trying to reattach his arm and Zeldris stopping him after words. Those pages look boring compared it.
>>142841332
>Those pages look boring compared it.
Meh I disagree >>142841163
>>142841197 these pages flow way better.
when did it become an NnT thread
>>142841440
Either way, they are both awesome and the Zeldris scuffle was only a few chapters ago. So the choreography never went away, which is all I was saying.
>>142841453
When us NnTfags came into the thread comparing it to Magi. We had a pretty slow chapter today, so it's not like we had anything better to do.
Anyways, I'm out.
>>142836476
>Out of the 50 something fights Magi had, only 3-4 were actually engaging.
disagree but again magi doesn't really focus on battles that much unlike other battle shounen
>>142807673
1 the civil war ended too abruptly which essentially erased the kou empire and rendered everything that happened previously meaningless
1b the subsequent dialog with hakuryuu and kouen ruined both characters, it stopped being morally gray and kouen stopped being the stoic self righteous machine which led to Sinbad being outright a cunt
2 the dark continent arc with Aladdin morg Hak and Alibaba space adventures which would explain the power up probably were axed to hurry with the main plot
3 theres literally nothing going on in the global scheme of things, before there was war everywhere, alibaba and aladdin were there to participate in the king contest thing
3b to hurry and end the series the author isnt working and didn't work on expanding how the new world is or the new problems everyone faces and what ideological change all leaders had beyond alibaba visiting them and them spouting a phrase that doesnt reflect the changes just their posture
3c no one outside of the main group is doing anything.
4 the world became small, all that exist now is sinbads company adn the kou empire
Essentially theres no mistery, stakes or anything to look forward to that you don't know and the scale of things shrinked to nonexistence

Who says that Ugo helped Judar is a asspull never read the manga or misread. In chapter 66 Ugo says he can no longer protect Aladdin, so Ugo can not manifest physically in the world. This does not mean you can not make it through the Rukh, in fact we know that he himself created the Magi, Ugo can interact with the world through Rukh.

This
Until Ohtaka gives up a straight up romantic couple, Magi threads will always be full of shipperfags. I'm not taking about teases or hints, I mean two characters confess their love and visibly start a relationship.
Although it probably won't happen until the very end since a big portion of Magi's fanbase are shippers for some reason. Don't know what it is about this particular series that attracts them.
>>142807673
50 chapters of planet Namek with not Allah was full of shit. Felt like a completely different story
Thread is fucking dead without shipper wars.
>>142852573
>Thread is fucking dead without shipper wars
Good.
This Magi thread was surprisingly lacking with shipperfags. They came in and autistically argued about their ships, then GTFO'd when no one bothered replying to them. Hopefully future Magi threads follow the same pattern.
>>142827049
Africans lack the mental capacity to show emotions.
The story was supposed to be about adventure and it was for a short while.Then it all took a terrible turn being only about economic systems diversifying in culture and timeskips. That's all neat and shit but, I don't want to learn any of that I god awful complicated crap to understand a manga. The economy topic comes back at every chance possible. At first it was fine but then it started getting too big and removing other fun shit that could have been put there instead. Where it got out of hand was Sinbad's manga where 90% revolved around economy because of theTradershit. Now alibaba has to do a similar action wearing clothes that Sinbad wore in his manga.
How many fight scenes do you suppose are left until the end of magi?
>>142852573
This is the most clean thread i've been to in the last 5 months.
>>142854214
Why do people think all Shounen series should be nothing but simple generic plots and battles?
>>142835570
this. For the manga mentioned in this thread it looks like this:
HxH > Magi > NNT
>>142855145
I'm not saying remove all of the economy shit or make it a simple battle after battle but to lessen it for the sake of every other golden aspect they have.
There could be a few more lines of detail here and there that expand to other topics other than economy.
>>142852387
It honestly made me want to drop the series.
>>142855221
No, because Magi has a better story than HxH. But HxH has the best fights. So Magi = HxH (NNT does not even take into account).
>>142855341
I get that the original premise of the series was adventuring and dungeon diving, which I do miss because that was and is a very fun aspect of the series.
But f9r me personally, I'm glad Ohtaka went this route with Magi. Almost every other Shounen out there right now os primarily focused on adventure and battles. Very few attempt to tie economy so heavily into the story. That's why I appreciate the effort that Ohtaka is putting into it. Also, count me as someone who loves the Babanomics arc.
>>142856236
Goddamn typos.
>>142855989
I have appreciated AT, not because I liked it so much but because it shows how the author takes us to the story created and tries to improve it, even to cost to create completely anti commercial things.

This is the highest form for suffering Alibaba would have yet to suffer.
There is no greater suffering.
He's lost so much in his life.
To lose just this would kill the last glimmering lights of hope in himself.
>>142856868
But this means he can have Fish, which is infinitely better than the alternative.
>>142856928
He can have fish even without HakuMor happening. Alibaba is just retarded.

Yeah no
Magi fights>>>HxH fights
>>142855995
Nanatsu no Taizai plays itself a lot safer and because of that, it has a lot less problems than Magi and even HxH (where there's currently controversy going on). That's why people prefer it. NnT has a nice middle ground between brain dead and complex. It simply doesn't try too hard like Magi and DGM.
There's a reason Magi went down in sales and popularity. While NnT still maintains it's popularity even after the anime ending.
>>142857562
Nah. I like Magi a bit more than HxH, but the thought that Togashi puts into his fights is outright autistic. Just look at the recent Chrollo vs Hisoka one. That being said, Magi fights are more hype.

It's all very simple actually, Alibaba is a virgin faggot, Ohtaka wrote him to act as such, he's a retard babbling retarded stuff about love and girl because he has no experience with either.
Long story short, just watch Alibaba suffer for being a virgin faggot, don't be one yourself expecting grandiose shit out of it.
>>142857785
What, not enough punching, kicking and screaming for you? That fight was a pure battle of wits and it was planned out beautifully. Togashi is better at fights than Ohtaka.
And you want to talk about asspulls? Judar vs Aladdin ended with Ugo literally appearing out of thin air and throwing Judar to where Baba was.

>Judar vs Aladdin ended with Ugo literally appearing out of thin air and throwing Judar to where Baba was.
That's not an asspull, nice try
Sorry but Togashi's fights are overrated if you want wits go read JoJo or Part 1 Naruto those are way better in that regard.
Magi fights>>>HxH fights
>>142857887
Are you retarded? That's not a asspull. Does not violate any rule of Magi narrative universe.
>>142858064
And Hisoka's revival doesn't violate any rule of the HxH verse. Saying otherwise is completely retarded.
>>142857887
I think HxH has some more reasoned fighting. Magi instead of the much more direct combat and made better by drawing and directing point of view.
>>142857936
>don't give a single fuck about Mor
>keep calling her who
>morfag
Now I feel offended.
>>142858103
True, but it is very forced. We see everything that has been built to revive Hisoka. Too many coincidences in those chapters.
Obviously it's a manga with a world with its own rules, so I do not criticize things like the lack of oxygen to the brain of Hisoka (although from HxH I would have expected an explanation).
>>142858103
>Hisoka's revival doesn't violate any rule of the HxH verse

Yorknew City on its own is better than everything in Magi. Without mentioning Chimera Ant which shits on every other shounen.

No. Stop. Say that HxH has a better screenplay of Magi is retarded. I would really like to know who the fuck you read HxH for story. HxH not have a wire that connects the arcs, they are all unrelated, to the maximum the author tries to connect them after the end of the single-arch.
>>142858457
What?? Hisoka has always been able to "tell" his nen when to contract or stretch, which is exactly what it did to his heart/lungs.
>>142809937
This. I dropped Magi because it was pretty shallow and generic.

Yeah and he had to be alive to so
>>142858038
>Chrollo stands around in the background while sending lot of minions after Hisoka like a shitty video game boss
Yeah, let's just forget about the fact that Chrollo deliberately gave Hisoka an information overload so that he's keep re-assessing and second guessing himself about Chrollo's strategy. Let's also forget how Hisoka was ripping off heads and using them as maces with his Bungee Gum. Let's also forget about how those minions Chrollo sent to Hisoka could fucking explode.
>That's not an asspull, nice try
Neither is the outcome of the Chrollo vs Hisoka fight
>Sorry but Togashi's fights are overrated if you want wits go read JoJo or Part 1 Naruto those are way better in that regard.
>Is a Narutard
That explains it. Sorry, but saying something is "overrated" just because you don't like it doesn't make it true.

Really? Butthurt HxHfag?

How so?
>>142858457
>>142858682
You goddamn idiot. Hisoka's Bungee Gum was able to perform CPR specifically because he was dead. His abilities didn't change at all, they just became enhanced through his death, meaning they had more useful applications; the revival being one of them.
Everyone butt hurt about magi and none answers op's question, what to spend time on god damnit
>>142858839
HxH is the only good ongoing shounen.
>All these retards sucking HxH's cock in a Magi thread
Fuck off to your own containment thread.
>>142858820
>His abilities didn't change at all,
It activated and controlled itself without Hisoka.
Asspull
Fuck off retard
>>142858875
already read it and need more.

>Doesn't like something

Kill yourself.

Taizai, Hero Academy
>>142858678
This is false. So HxH, a shonen manga that follows the classical narrative structure of shonen battle is better than Magi who abandoned the classical structure of shonen battle? Magi who was the first to introduce arguments such as politics and the economy in the battle shonen manga is generic? Are you retarded?

>>142858875
HxH is crap with chicken scratch for art
All you fucking HxHfags get the fuck out >>142849336
Go back to your shitty series
One Piece the best mango ever lol
>>142858964
Nice argument retard
>>142858930
>>142858682
Learn to read retards, nen after death exists
>>142856843
Magi is comfortably in the top 2% of the industry.
>>142857620
Since the end of the anime Magi sales decreased by 250k in 2 years.
Since the end of the anime Seven Deadly Sins sales decreased by 150k in 1 year.
>>142859054
It's better than yours, actually.
Like I said, do the gene pool a favour and end your pathetic existence. Give your parents something to be happy about for once.
>>142858970
Generic shit.
>>142859094
Learn to read yourself, you failed abortion >>142858457
>>142859137
Whatever you say retard
>>142859023
Bump
>>142859170
But the ability doesn't change because the ability is literally just aura that can stretch and contract like rubber
>>142859094
But what he did Hisoka is very forced. Hisoka has commanded its nen deliberately. No character has ever done before. In those extreme cases the nen after death acts with its own will. It can not be commanded. No character has ever done anything like this before.
>>142859167
Muh MUH DEEP SHOUNEN MANGO.
Still incredibly entertaining.
>>142859170
The ability didn't fucking change, you braindead moron.
>>142858989
>HxH, a shonen manga that follows the classical narrative structure of shonen battle
You literally didn't fucking read it. Jesus christ.
HxH is the least conventional shounen out there. Every arc is a different genre, the series is constantly subverting shounen tropes (like the "Super Saiyan transformation" shit), fights are rarely ever the focus with politics and character drama taking the forefront, and when they do fight it's tactical instead of typical punching and kicking shit (see >>142858717)
Are you HxHfags retarded?>>142859023
>>142849336
Fuck off
>>142859023
>chicken scratch for art
Try reading it you brainless shonenshitter.
>>142858989
> first to introduce arguments such as politics and the economy in the battle shonen manga
Yeah okay.
Hisoka thing was a fucking asspull pls explain how did he survied so long without oxygen
>>142859216
>>142859244
>>142858930
Read the thread retards
>>142859231
I think it was more of a wish than a command. It probably wasn't guaranteed to happen.
>>142859371
How does that help your argument?
Today I learned that we magifags are baited easily.
And that Hunter x Hunter is nothing special.

Top kek

While defending a shouen, retard confirmed
>>142859552
I made a thread where we will settle this like men.
>>142859579
Good job, shitposter.
>>142859502
Christ, that's terrible.
>>142859716
No it isn't, the layout is great. It's just lacking in detail. If you think art quality is gauged by how detailed it is you're a retard who should lurk >>>/ic/ for a few months
>>142859766
>No it isn't
Yes, it is. That page isn't just lacking detail. It's literally just scribbles. That's just plain lazy. Sorry, but get Togashi's dick out of your mouth.
Yeah Berserk is much better
Both are fine.
>>142859828
Why would I get his dick out of my mouth? He wrote the best shounen of all time and one of the best comedies of all time. He's a god.
>>142859913
>being this delusional
>>142859872
shut the fuck up beans
>>142859766
The layout is fine but this seriously looks like it's in a draft stage. It's messy, the characters look stiff and dead eyed, there's no variation in line weights, the screentone usage is amateurish, and the characters are disappearing into the speed lines.
>>142859861
But that's HxH
>>142859872
This.
>>142859502
>>142859996
Oh and the character designs are hideous.
>>142859128
NnT has anime for September
>>142860641
Yeah, 4 episodes.
>>142860671
Hence "for September"
>>142860641
You assume it will increase the sales again?
>>142860818
Because anime is commercial for souce material
>homoxhomo shitting up my Magi thread
Shut the fuck up all of you.
I love Magi. I dropped HxH after like 3 chapters. That's all the evidence anyone needs--Magi is superior.
>>142860641
Dropped NnT after 2 episodes. Couldn't even make it to 3. Pervert shota is kinda cute but one cute does not a series carry.
BACK TO TOPIC
Arba broke Sheba's staff. Meaning? I feel like this is a deathflag.
>>142835331
>People loved Magi because of the political shenanigans and that it didn't rely heavy on fights.
Except it's still like that. And aside from Alma Torran, the story is perfectly cohesive.
>>142861330
What are you saying? AT is cohesive.
>>142861595
I mean it broke up the flow of the plot by halting it for months.
>>142861615
>flow of the plot by halting it for months.
Not really
>>142861244
Sorry man but HxH has the Chimera Ant arc. I don't think any is better than the other, they're too different at what they're good, but try to give it a little more credit.
Just watch the anime, you'll have the good story without the preschool drawings.
>>142861661
>but HxH has the Chimera Ant arc
Sorry anon but that arc is not that good.
>>142861708
Yorknew is the best HxH arc, hands down.
>>142861888
Trips confirm
