Monegold, Desscaras and Shirabedonna are having a meeting and discussing about Ichi. Shirabedonna wants to announce Ichi's existence to the world. A new character, Togeice, appeared and she's against it. She uses ice magic and her design is cool. Ichi got to compete with Togeice now.

Yea, makes sense that officially announcing the existence of a male witch wouldn't go that smoothly.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

@nanashi79 your 4 is my 7 because I choose to look for the positives and upsides of any type of work that I consume. Scoring system just represents and reflects our minds and how our perspectives are.


And your score reflects that you seem to lose interest or favorabilty in most of the things you consume. That's all.

Yeah, i dropped this

This shit just so fucking ass, 11 chapters in, nothing has been achieved in a tangible way. let's not talk about character development.

And I swear that if it weren't for the fact that it was written and drawn by a famous veterans, it would definitely have been canceled before chapter 30.

Wish this was more of a battle shonen and less of a gag manga. The stupidity of all the jokes just makes it feel like it’s made for young children.

The more this manga tries to make interesting dialogue, the easier it is to see that the author can’t write conversation convincingly. I’m tempted to lower my score again but I’ll see how the next few chapters go.

@TheDefCrypt no a 4 just means that i liked an anime less than one i gave a 5 and more than one i gave a 3, i have like 200 1s and 2s thats why my mean score is low, when i started in 2014-2015 i watched like 30 new seasonals each season, now there are seasons where i watch at max 4-5 new anime, i lowered all the scores as i watched more and more anime and found better stuff than the one i gave 10.

Phrases like "g.o.a.t" and "importing aura" make me think this is the tick tok animes crunchyroll was talking about wanting to implement. Ngl, yah, they are kind of funny, but if it feels like that's all its trying to do at times. also, ichi is getting everything for free, acceptance, friends, and power. all he has to do more of is what he's good at already, that is, hunting magiks. he's barely challenged at all, it feels like. We are getting somewhere with this conflict, but it doesn't really feel like it. it's making me root against ichi, which doesn't make sense for the author to write as he's mc

Honestly it make sense, for now authors are still establishing the world, we had "regular magiks hunt" with a fox and more "abstract hunt" with a shark showing you can't just fight your way to victory, and you can see he had a lot of scars on his body so all that knowledge he has wasn't acquire without struggles.
His true (story) challenge will be now with that mushroom, especially with mushroom saying about "not bothering anyone" which maybe will not trigger Ichi's hunting instinct.
Manga recommendation:
- Spy x Family (Ch.107/? - biweekly) | Sakamoto Days (Ch.190/? - weekly)
- MARRIAGETOXIN (Ch.108/? - weekly) | Machi and Oboro (Ch.15/? - biweekly)
- Make the Exorcist Fall in Love (Ch.78/? - biweekly)
- You and I Are Polar Opposites (Ch.64/? - biweekly)
Anime recommendation:
- Deca-Dence (Finished) | Wave, Listen to Me! (Finished)
- If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die (Finished)

That's a fair way to look at it. I do want to respect the pacing the author wants for their story. However, all that is set up without anything really happening, you can have rules set up while at the same time building the characters and overall main story out. The character interactions do not have any substance to them other than playing into their comedic stereotypes it just feels kind of bland imo. We do get some backstory, which is good, but from what I remember, there are not really any meaningful character interactions between the trio. Also, in regard to the overall plot just hunting magiks, the entire series run time is kind of boring no matter how qirky they all are. I feel like we need some impending doom, like ichi being expelled or cast out rather than just being forced into a classroom (or just some villain). like him being instantly accepted by the public and all but one person in the witch oligarchy is such a missed opportunity. Also that one person just wants to teach ichi how to read, theres no overall suspicion or concern about the anomoly that just landed on their lap. I'm not saying the manga is bad, but nothing really good has happened either other than the artwork. I don't want to seem too critical. These are just early thoughts.

the colour page of kumugi was so cute, and god I'm actually so obsessed with the character designs of this manga- I already fell in love with Desscaras and Shirabedonna the moment they were introduced, and now there's Monigold and Togeice?!?! They're all so gorgeous, and I really can't wait for the next chapter but honestly I'm not sure who I'm rooting for yet

I must be losing my mind because I don’t understand all the hate for this series. Y’all don’t know how to turn your brains off and just enjoy some goofy shit every once in a while. This is why ratings for Dandadan are so mixed, y’all hate anything fun😂

@rinnmakesmusic why not say something in defense of the series instead of calling out others for their opinions? What was so fun and appealing about this chapter?

Please point out who specifically I called out, and also point out where it says I owe you any explanation for my thoughts? You’re gonna be in this series’ forum every week hating on it when you shoulda just dropped it after last chapter lol

I hate to break it to you, but you’re not the genius critic you think you are. You’re just opinionated, as am I. Time to hop off my dick friend.

We had a very similar conversation in the forum for last chapter, I think we both made it clear that we have different opinions on this series, and let’s be real for a sec. You did nothing but trash it. So why are you still here exactly? Do you enjoy reading things that you convey to be adjacent to abject garbage? I’m not gonna reiterate my same points from least week on this forum to appease you. The horse is dead my guy, and you’re beating it like a drum.

@rinnmakesmusic no one in particular you just asked why we can't turn our brains off and enjoy the goofiness. It seems you didn't actually read what I actually wrote last chapter because I did talk about what I liked and why I expect more from the series. Others did the same as well in last chapters forum thread. I hadn't posted anything about this chapter so to say I'm just going to bash it every week is lame. I didn't bash it and I'm curious to hear what made this chapter interesting.

My advise is this, stop taking it so personal. Talk about what you enjoyed instead of going to war in the comment section and forums. I'm actually curious to see why others think it's so good (including you). But rather than say what's good about this chapter your get defensive and argumentative. Maybe you could open my eyes to something I'm missing but instead you'd rather be a keyboard warrior.

Have a good one, wishing you the best.

My bad Logic, I forgot you were the God of the Ichi forums.

Btw, you had nothing good to say about last chapter. My advice to you, stop grandstanding. If it’s really that much of a “letdown” (your words) then maybe just move on instead? You didn’t come to this forum to say anything of merit either, the only thing you did was respond to me and try to lord over me😂

I’ll say this as well. Not only do we have clearly different opinions, but our prerogative for enjoying manga seems to be entirely different as well. This manga is a purist gag shonen fan’s wet dream, yet you all are trying to critique it as if it were a Urasawa series. Your complaints are all valid, but your complaints are also a result of taking this shit too seriously.
There were plenty of people agreeing with that (^) sentiment in the last forum too. Y’all are trying to treat this like something other than what it purely is. It’s goofy and lighthearted, its plot is paper-thin sure but it’s also easy to follow, regardless of what you say I find the characters to be very well put together with unique and interesting qualities about each of them, the art is gorgeous, the character interactions are pure and funny, the way that each individual majik mission is set-up is also well done, the joint character progression is being established very early on in an agreeable way… how’s that for talking about what I liked about the chapter and the series as a whole? You have an unfortunate illness, the illness of taking shit too seriously, and that affects nobody but yourself. My comment could’ve just as easily been a wake up call to you, but instead you likely took it as a personal insult and decided to clap back. I’m in no way a keyboard warrior, and I damn sure won’t be able to open your eyes to anything because you’re clearly a very stubborn individual. You shook all of my points off in the last forum post, so why would you be open to listening now?😂 I’d be remiss to try and change your mind, but I stand by my points wholeheartedly. Turn your brain off and enjoy, or don’t. If you refuse to, stop reading, because you’re likely gonna come back to these forums every week disappointed.
