I grew up watching Naruto and really enjoyed both the original series and Naruto Shippuden. I have a lot of nostalgia for that story and its characters.

As for Boruto, I don't think it's bad at all, but I feel like it could have been handled better, especially in the anime adaptation.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts: if you could create your own continuation of Naruto Shippuden, what would you do differently? Would you keep Boruto's general idea and change certain aspects, or would you take the story in a completely different direction?

Overall, I really liked the ending of Vinland Saga and I think it stayed true to the themes of the series.

However, I couldn't help feeling that some storylines were left open. There are several characters whose fates we never really learn about, and I was hoping for at least a brief update on what happened to them after the final events.

For example, we don't get much closure regarding characters like Thorkell, Snake, Garm, or even some of the people from Ketil's farm.

I understand that not every character needs a complete ending, but I still would have loved to know what paths they eventually took.

Did anyone else feel this way, or do you think leaving some of these stories untold was the right choice?

I recently finished watching Fermat no Ryōri, and I absolutely loved it. Even though I don't know much about cooking, I found the story, characters, and the mix of mathematics and cuisine really engaging.

Since it's a work by the same creator as Ao Ashi, I was wondering what everyone thinks about its future.

Do you think the anime will get a second season? Is there enough source material for a continuation, and how popular has the series been in Japan?

Also, if you've read the manga, without major spoilers, do you think the story gets even better after the anime?

I know this is the Ao Ashi subreddit, but I'm asking here because there doesn't seem to be an active subreddit dedicated to Fermat no Ryōri.

One of the things I'm most curious about in Berserk is Skull Knight's past.

We already know that he seems to have experienced a tragedy similar to Guts', and there are many hints about his connection to Void and the God Hand. Because of that, I can't help but wonder if we'll ever get a chapter—or even a short arc—focused entirely on his backstory.

Seeing Skull Knight's past could also show us what Void was like before becoming the leader of the God Hand and help us better understand the parallels between Skull Knight and Guts.

Do you think the manga will eventually explore this in detail, or is it better to keep Skull Knight's past a mystery?

After finishing Ao Ashi, I started noticing a pattern in many popular sports manga and anime.

Series like Slam Dunk, Days, and Ao Ashi often focus on only one school year—or just a little more—before ending, even though the characters still have plenty of time left in high school.

Why do you think this happens so often in sports manga?

Is it because authors want to avoid repeating the same tournament structure? Is it related to editorial pressure, sales, or simply storytelling choices?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and examples of sports manga that either follow or break this pattern.
