Finally up to date! The dream world chapters were really fun, the art was stellar there and the powers, very interesting. The dream eaters were really cool.
Actually, the author is really good at creating a constant stream of big ass effects and explosions, come to think of it. Every fight is pretty spectacular in their own way.
I don't think we've got much left of this arc, and I'm really curious to see where we're headed next.
Nice!! Looking forward to those impressions (gotta ask you to include your favorite fight of this arc so far), as well as MHA impressions eventually in that thread. And if you want to discuss Blue Exorcist, just feel free to tag me anywhere lol. Love that manga (but yes monthly is hard lol).
I really liked Julius vs. Patolli! It wasn't the longest fight, but the sheer power of both of these characters and that backdrop made it really cool. The stakes were really high and the result is basically going to change the country now. I'm also partial to Noelle's Valkyrie form, as I really like the design, the character as a whole and the fight was meaningful (the sibling and all) and inventive.
What I hate the most is that my memory is shit and has been for a while even though I'm still very young :( So I only truly remember the broadest of strokes when it comes to manga (curiously enough, OP, as massive as it is, I remember better than shorter series like this one or MHA). But that's also kinda nice as I get to enjoy rereads more lol. I'll try to juggle between MHA, BE and a BC reread.
And yeah, it really turns me off, even when it's manga I really love (Vinland Saga, OPM, AoT...) and then I have a hard time going back if a few months have gone by. I remember putting Blue Exorcist on hold a little bit after the Impure King arc wrapped up. Don't know why I didn't continue, I love everything about it tbh.
no need to rush since we've been in backstory arc for like 1.5 volumes worth of content, but its nearly over ^_^.
Haha, I'm taking my time then! I'm on the Impure King arc climax as of now. I think I know what backstory arc you're talking about, as I decided to return to the manga after reading impressions of the current chapters in the manga thread.
