Shangri-La Frontier is the new one piece start catching up
The manga is adapting straight from the webnovel which has over **900 CHAPTERS** and counting(story is about60-70% finshed). The manga also normally adapts 1:1, 1 chaoter per chapter so if the manga is to catch up it's going to have similar amount of chapters and they hopefully don't cut tons of stuff out.
The next manga chapter is going to start a new saga "Dragon Upon Dragon" that takes **200 GOD*RNN CHAPTERS** in the novel this one piece level stuff truly.
And the kicker? It doesn't take 10,000 episodes to get good, the anime already has 50 episodes out with season 3 coming in January while the manga just finshed with the content all of season 4 will cover.
The anime is about a trash game hunter who decides to take on a god tier game in futuristic Japan. Many people complain it doesn't have life and death stakes so it's boring or smth like life and death stakes aren't everything(most series that even have it don't capitalize on it like SAO), it has good character writng amd dynamics, great world building and lore on the game(literally one piece) and it actually feels like a gamer made wrote this, because yes the author is an actual gamer. Once more he even plays more games outside SLF which trumps the main games of most gaming anime it's definitely one of the best of it's genre. And of course it got slick animation insane and hype boss fights, it really scratches the itch for me of having long drawn out fights that aren't boring cause most modern anime biggest fight would take at most 1 episode. The character interactions are fun too especially the main trio which is the classic 2 girls 1 c- I mean 2 boys 1 girl but the girl is actually evil and sells out her friends(lol nothing too serious) and that villainy is exactly how she is when she's playing games. The next arcof the anime in season 3 is going to adapt one of her best moments were she plays her villain role to the fullest and it's sooo peak, the other 2 boys are just bros being bros finding out bugs in different trash games kicking each others asses and keeping scores but nothing obnoxious like typical rivals.Even with that all 3 are ride or die for one another even though they won't admit it.
So yeah there's no life or death stakes but it has other stakes beyond that and it's pure fun, the MC's shenanigans are so fun to watch, he's very unconventional and unpredictable also switches playstyles with each game and even brings some of those experiences to the main game SLF, speedruns, using mechanics to his advantage, devs screwing him up venting out on other games when the main game ragebaits him all that normal gaming stuff. You'll relate to him so much if you're a gaymer so 100% must watch for all gaymers. All in all pretty good series, pure fun, doesn't get the attention it deserves
Now I'm not trying to bash other series just writing this in a joking tone so if it felt like I prolly insulted one piece or any other series in some way I didn't mean it.
Himeno from Chainsaw Man
Himeno is a great example of two of Akatsuki Fujimoto's strengths as a writer: 1) making, rich multilayered characters who also happen to be 2) insanely attractive waifus. Reze, Makima, Power, and Asa are all brilliant, but my #1 of the lot is Himeno - the fiercely carefree eyepatched Devil Hunter we first meet in Part 1.
As a character, Himeno is a personification of the intense desire to make the most of what little time you have left. She's seen so many of her fellow Devil Hunters die in the line of duty (five partners before Aki), and she knows she could easily be next. This is why she's so bluntly demanding of new recruits ("Are you gonna be useless?") and so ruthlessly efficient as a Devil Hunter (attacking Devils on sight, restraining Kobeni immediately when she freaks out), but it's also why she takes such a relaxed attitude towards humor, cigarettes, alcohol, and intimacy. She's long since determined that if she's gonna burn, she might as well burn bright. She's driven, experienced, intelligent, and slightly insane.
This all just serves to make her even more attractive, though. Himeno is a shameless, forward flirt who latches on to people quickly, since she never knows how long they'll be around. She's quick to offer intimate favors to Denji to motivate him and seems to enjoy the reaction she gets for it from others. She's open, honest, passionate, fearless, and very, very sexy. It's easy to imagine yourself in her company, either to help her live a bit more happily or else just enjoy the time along with her.
I really enjoy Himeno, and I would have liked to have gotten to see more of her in the series. Whatever you might think about Chainsaw Man, you can't say it didn't offer some wild times.
