Kindness is a virtue that only the strong can wield

Kindness is a virtue that only the strong can wield.

Kindness is a mortal sin and so is mercy

That's right

Yes if you have a problem with kindness you are an edgy retard.

I wish Mob Psycho understood this simple concept instead of being up its own ass

My king and his human battery are so cool.

I liked the series before the Faudo thing. I noticed that he decided to kind of blend Mamodo World with the real world in Gash 2, unfortunately gash 2 is garbage

I know it's a kids' show but Kiyomaro gets the shit beaten out of him way too much. No man, not alone a teenager, could take all of those attacks and walk out of it alive.

No.

I wish you understood Mob Psycho

I like how this is a manga where you actually see the main characters inspiring other people to be better. Like Kiyomaro inspiring Momon to stop being a shitsmear, or Gash inspiring Rein to not be an edgelord, and he in turn, tries to make Kyle not be a pathetic coward. It's not like "wOaaW Luffy is such funny a retard he's gonna punch the guy opressing me I'm brave now I guess". In general, putting people in pairs gave tons of opportunities for human partners to have a positive impact on the demon children or viceversa. Simple stuff but really good.

This is probably the worst anime i've ever seen, is the manga any better?

It's the best battle shounen I've read by a wide margin.

Zatch bell is such ass.

It's a pretty good bubblegum shonen. Some pretty well made and creative action scenes and emotional moments. Neat creature designs sometimes too. If you hate power of friendship shit and dramatic tears stay far far away from it though.

This guy singlehandedly cured my racism towards Italians.

Thanks, i dropped the anime around episode 120 because it was too repetitive and i didn't find it fun anymore, i'll try giving it another shot with the manga

Mob Psycho is about being a little bitch, a doormat who only ever stands up to people when they threaten to tread on the Public Order.
Basically its a guide to be a government stooge

Bubblegum Shonen

That's the first time I've seen that used, how do you define it?

Good quote.

There's something about Gash's funny look compared with his actions that I find really enjoyable. The contrast of his childish, cutesy appearence and his heroic actions and just anger. Gash is best boy.

120 episodes

Gee that's a lot anon, you should have dropped it way before. I'm not gonna pretend it's the best thing ever, temper your expectations because, while the anime looks worse and drags shit down a lot, the heart and soul of the series is the same. Down to the point, lots of "filler" episodes are from the manga, Raiku loved that shit. Just try to get into it when you really feel like reading some shonen with big action panels, lots of tears and dumb comedy.

I mean a fighty shonen with big drama and a "becoming the strongest" premise in the vein of Dragon Ball, One Piece and other Shonen Jump stuff. Even moreso because of the Pokemon paralels. Iunno I'm just using it in the same way people call pandery 2000s pop music "Bubblegum pop", maybe it's a confusing false equivalence lmao

The only anime original filler eps were the girl with the cat demon, right?

The boy with the wind powers was also anime original.

The contrast of his childish, cutesy appearence and his heroic actions and just anger

This happens a lot in Gash Bell. Kinda easy to forget these guys are 1st grade of elementary school children sometimes. But when they act like retards, it's way less pathetic than when say, Luffy or Naruto do it. They're kids.

The skateboard guy was also filler, there was also that Maestro guy, and terrible, TERRIBLE sneaky shit like when Zofis gets stalled by Kiyomaro and company which ends up undermining the manga in some ways. But stuff like, when they eat that awful curry and make those monstrous comedy faces, or the Mantis Joe story, or those earnest manga stereotypes like the old japanese babushka Gash helps out, the kid with the buzzcut Suzume comforts, or that one with Kiyomaro's jealous teacher making him fail for retarded reasons? That's in the manga lmao.

I'm also gonna say the Barry vs Ted episode is a rare case of good filler, that's a neat ep.

BAOU ZAKERUGA

For what it was, Gash was really good at drawing my emotions. Sadness, chills, tears of impression even. I love that series.

for what it was

I get what you mean. It's very simple and itt can come off as hackneyed, but if it connects with you, this manga's emotional moments can get under your skin like very few shonen of this kind. It feels really genuine and intimate.

Praying Barry doesn't job against Libra next chapter

It's probably among the best battle shounen I've ever read. It takes all the shounen tropes and plays them all completely straight though so don't expect anything groundbreakingly new.

I think he might job a little, put everyone in danger cuz of his pride and then Gustav will arrive all like "I can't believe you're still this reckless, boy... DIOGA ZONISUDON!!!" Any more jobbing than that would be kind of pathetic.

lol. Barry is going to continue effortlessly annihilating him or anyone else that shows up.

Well put, anon

When's the next chapter? im waiting to see Zeon again since they set up a peak ENTER moment back at the start

I think Gash is the only shounen to perfectly weave its power system with character growth. It eliminates the need for training arcs to obtain new powers, and it perfectly handwaves how every character in the story gets random new powerups because they establish it early on that people get new spells when it either serves the story or when a character goes through some development. It's the difference to how people find Deku's o my seven quirks to be complete ass but when Gash gets several new spells in Faudo it's seen as cool as fuck

Oh and the new Gash Café is out, featuring Libra and Rolling Witch

In it we learn that Libra is actually a demon working with the bad guys. He's just a demon with extra special powers like Gorm

They did fix the "Deku problem" of MHA in Vigilantes where Koichi's quirk kept growing organically throughout the story. The worst part about Deku was that half of the quirks he got could've been replaced with gear which he was already experimenting with.

If they really wanted to power up OFA thrn do it at the final fight like Gash unlocking the golden book at the very last fight. Let Deku use his friends quirks which he would know how they work because of all the fighting they did together. That's what made the golden book scene so great. But instead he gets all his quirks all at once in a random sparring training and that's that.

Gash Bell's treatment of the "epic stare of righteous anger" is so much better than what One Piece ended up doing with it. And much more impressive because it ends up terrifying much stronger opponets, and quickstarting some character arcs even.

Today actually

Any time Gorm gets name dropped, I get sad that's he's stuck on portal duty for the sequel. Cool ass void bug deserves some spotlight too.
