I don't think he's going to be OP. I'm not even sure if Game & Watch is coming back; Pac looked kind of similar to him in comparison to Smash attacks.

well i am a HUGE fan of the franchise and tbh there will always be stringer characters than others in it (i am looking at you kirby).
sucks i can't afford a wii u and tnh, i am not interested in any games for it at the moment. such a let down.

EDIT:
By the waaay, still any HxH fans around who watch the anime and read the manga?
since it won't be a discussion per se thought about asking about your thoughts on the way (will put that in spoiler just in case)

Have you played other games in the Tales of series? I played just a few minutes of Symphonia and really liked it. Been meaning to pick up a copy if I find the time or money haha I'm also pretty stoked for the new Blazblue coming out. I don't play the one I have religiously but it's a nice game to have on my 3DS

Did the Hunter X Hunter manga end? Or did it go on hiatus and start up again? I'm not too sure what's going on with that series. My impression of it was that it seemed kind of like Yu Yu Hakusho.

I've played quite few. So far I've played Phantasia, Destiny, Eternia, Symphonia, Symphonia:DotNW, Legendia, Abyss, Innocence, Graces f and Xillia. Of those, I believe the only ones I didn't finish were Eternia and Legendia.

hunter x hunter was on a loooong hiatus, it started again but who knows for how long. imo it should end with the next arc or so

btw, any of you recommend watching Shaman King? aching to watch a good anime after a long time away from anime in general and i was told to pick up Shaman King. if you have any other recommendations i would be pleased to hear them

Shaman King was...interesting. Depending which rendition of the manga you read, it may not have an actual ending. It was interesting enough when I was younger, but I don't know if I'd recommend it or not. I enjoyed it, but I would probably never reread it except for a few years down the road.

@ Shademan
Out of those which would you recommend? I'll probably end up getting Symphonia due to actually getting interested in that specific game and wanting to finish it. My initial reaction to the series is that it's similar, gameplay wise, to Phantasy Star. Is that true?

Yes, it's somewhat similar, but the gameplay is quite different in certain games, like Graces for example. It'd recommend either Symphonia or Abyss as they're my favorite ones. Xillia is pretty good so far aswell. Graces' story is cheesetastic, but the characters are fun, and the gameplay is the best out of any Tales game imo.

I've always wanted to try one of the Tales games, but never had a chance to. There is also the fact, that I'm not really a big fan of rpgs. So, if I wanted to try one, is Graces the first one to try?

Shaman King anime ended differently than its manga counterpart.

SK Anime = BS

At least it got an ending. The original SK manga didn't haha it finally got a new series and an ending like...4 or 5 years after the fact.

@shademan
I'll probably start with Symphonia then. Xillia looked rather promising too, but outside of those two and the Symphonia sequel I don't hear much about the series. SMT is also on my to do list. I'm trying to expand my RPG library and those are two big series I haven't really touched. Currently playing MGS4 and I'm regretting my decision to play the last game first. I didn't think I'd get so hooked on the series.

Hmmm, it's not a bad choice, but don't expect the others to play the same way, as the combat gameplay is really different. Like I said before, I'd recommend either Symphonia or Abyss as a first outing to the series.

I'm not exactly sure when was the SK manga finished (released its final chapter), but I'm sure it was finished already.

I didn't like how both manga and anime storylines turned out.

What new manga are you talking about? the one about the new generation?
this? http://www.mangahere.co/manga/shaman_king_flowers/

wait, never seen this before
http://www.mangahere.co/manga/shaman_king_kang_zeng_bang/

I might try to reread this thing again now that this was brought up. got me curious about it again.

edit: now I remember rereading this (original SK manga) around last year or late 2012 for research on Hao's attack for coding my Hao mugen char back then.

Pretty much Shonen Jump no longer wanted to run Shaman King or it wasn't selling. Something like that. Either way, it couldn't wrap itself up in time so it ended on just a collage drawing saying the end. Then a release was started and that's the Kang Zeng Bang you noted which is essentially the actual ending. That's why the anime ending was so different was because the manga didn't have an actual ending.

The original ending to Shaman King: http://z.mhcdn.net/store/manga/65/32-284.0/compressed/m_t_sk284pg19.jpg?v=11208656687

It ended right before the conclusion, they didn't fight the big bad, no closure, nothing like that.

I just personally confirmed (though I long ago thought of this already) that saying "Monday sucks" and "can't wait for friday" or anything negative related to work doesn't necessarily mean that your job sucks. It (job) just "sucks" because the employee doesn't like the job he's doing. But the same job might not "suck" for other people enjoying the same job.

So yeah, I'm going to "try to last" for a year in this job because it pays good and save as much money as I can, unless something ridiculously better (both work itself and pay-wise) than this comes along within this upcoming year. Also, it's cheesy as F but money really can't buy happiness/satisfaction/fulfillment (at least not yet..... for me). Work environment sucks overall. Also can't find a colleague I can relate to and talk to like you know, as a buddy. Bosses are ok though (not bad, but not great either).

The following line applies to me at the moment:

"The struggle is real."

@wezh
ok thanks. I'll read it again sometime.
I think Beelzebub was also forced to end its story by Shonen Jump (I was actually enjoying that series more over OP/FT for a moment because of its regular comedy scenes).
