I am busy with school and work.  But one of my hobby is writing.  Though lately I have a writer's block so have not wrote for like 1 and a half month plus was too busy with school work.  Aside from mangas, I watch tv shows and stuff like that.  But honestly lately just busy with school work.

Well Boku no Hero Academia is not even in top 30 so I don't expect it to be in the top 10 for the first half of 2015.  I actually saw Ao no Exorcist doing really well, just don't know if it will make it in the top 10.  But I noticed that.  I expect  Nanatsu to go up definitely since its a new manga and more and more people are learning about it plus the current arc did not drop a beat.  Its still as interesting so definitely I see it increase in sales and could go up in ranking.  Assassination classroom, I don't follow it becasue not really interested in that manga but in terms of sales it did about the same as 2013 with slightly increase in sales but lower in ranking so I expect Assassination classroom to do about the same and may actually go down in ranking but increase in sales.  But expect it to be around the same ranking as last year.  Tokyo Ghoul is a interesting case in the fact that people really learned about the manga last year and in a way 2nd half of 2014 Tokyo Ghoul was the manga and was the one that had the most hype and everything and I expect it to do very well but not sure if it can go up in rankings.  Its simply because of the 3 mangas in the top.  I see OP and AOT being #1 and 2 so that leaves whether it can go to #3 and I don't see it because Tokyo Ghoul is actually to me in a low point.  Tokyo Ghoul Re is not as interesting as Tokyo Ghoul and to me its a low point of the manga, plus Haikyuu is actually in a high point and a superb sport manga and with Kuroko ending, it is the face of the sports manga so I see Tokyo Ghoul either in #4 or go below if Magi or Nanatsu goes up in ranking and maybe one of them would beat Tokyo Ghoul or both.

To Yan, the ranking is for only Japan sales but Japan sells more manga then rest of the World combined and SNK is the same as Attack on Titan.  Its the same manga.  SNK is the Japanese name and Attack on Titan is the english name.

Also viewers post some predictions of what you think will be top 10 in the first half of 2015.

I'm watching Once Upon A Time (Season 2 Ep. 9 currently) atm and I love it so much!

 

Any other OUAT Fans here? :3

Yeah I am a fan of Once upon a time.  I started watching this show from the beginning when it aired, and I love it.  I love magic and fantasy type of things and this is one of my favorite shows.

The thread is simple what do you watch in TV and what are your favorite shows:

Mine is

1. Game of Thrones-  Its my favorite.  It has great story with awesome twists and also great fantasy.  I like fantasy type of shows with good action and plot and GOT has everything that I can ask for in a show.

2.  Justified-  To me the most underrated tv show.  Its a great story with awesome characters and dialogue.  The characters and dialog is what makes these show so great to me.

3.  Once Upon a Time-  Its a fantasy show with magics and pretty good stories.  And as I stated before I like fantasies and that is why its one of my favorites

4.  The Walking Dead-  Great horror show with good characters and just love the conflicts within the show

5.  The Blacklist-  Its a new show.  Not really anything special but since I started watching it from the beginning, I am following it but the story is pretty good and the last few episodes are very interesting.

Anyway these are the 5 tv shows that I follow.  I also watch other tv shows but I don't follow them.  I just watch them if I am bored or something and have nothing better to do.

My biggest plot twist surprisingly came from Bleach.
 

And also Tower of God has several plot twists.  There are at times I have no idea who is doing what.  Very intricate plot.  This is the biggest plot twist.

And also this was a huge plot twist from a tv show.  The show is once upon a time.

I'm now reading more toons than manga's I think. It all started with Tower of God; everything started with Tower of God..

I actually started with Noblesse and then later on I found out about Tower of God.  Either way I am surprised that people don't like the art.  I would of suspected that people would like webtoons art more seeing as its with color instead of black and white.  And honestly if you don't read webtoons just because of the art, that is really bad.  Art really shouldn't stop you from great stories.

I read lot of mangas/manhwas and webtoons.  Right now I just started reading Kingdom.  Pretty good.  As for currently reading there is just too many to list.  

thanks for saying so, but I do have to say that "judging" people is something that is imperative in not just society but to every individual as well............not being willing to accept that responsibility is the first step in turning a blind eye to, and essentially condoning behavior that is detrimental to everyone else. 

I agree that you have to judge people, you can't just turn a blind eye.  But just saying its very hard.  I mean we always judge people.  Every interactions and thoughts are about judging something.  Its normal but to judge people is very difficult.  I think its the hardest thing in the World to really know a person.  Because if you can understand people you can do anything in the World.

Don't judge people from the outside. Like any rose has thorns, the more the person appears nice on the outside, the more you should doubt the inside. - Haibara Ai (Detective Conan)

That is wrong.  There are people that are just nice.  It takes effort to be nice.  You should appreciate it.  Just don't trust the person blindly because everyone has secrets but if the person is nice in the front most likely he is a nice person overall.  Detective Conan deals with psychopaths, rest of us society deal with more normal humans.  That quote is so wrong, it might work well for him but for a normal person no way in hell would that work and if you believe like that you are just going to alienate people.

Lot's of mangas are like that, those that you keep reading only out of habit. For me there would Toriko, The Breaker: NW, and maybe even One Piece! (though you'd have to threaten me with an axe to say anything bad about it!) But sometimes they do get better. Like Naruto, which sometimes gets really interesting... until they start fighting again. Not that this would happen to FT. Maybe in a million years...

FT I gave up on expecting more from it.  Each time I do the author trolls me.  So I am like forget it.  Up until I see one great arc where its awesome from beginning to end, I am not expecting anything from FT.  With OP for example, I could predict most things there but each arc is awesome from the beginning to end.  Some arcs are not as good as others but its not like the arc starts out good and then go haywire.  If the beginning feels really great you expect the last part of the arc to be great too, which always pans out in OP, not the case in FT.

Naruto its just too crazy.  The author sucks in detail and is doing things too quickly.  He doesn't build up or has any light moments and I think that is the biggest weakness of Naruto.  You have to slow down sometimes and do light things, Naruto its like every chapter is something very serious.

And to me Naruto and OP are extremely similar but only reason why I see OP is better is because the author is master at details and pacing and he enjoys writing the story and the arcs.  I feel like Kishi just wants to finish Naruto as quickly as possible.

Don't mean to be cynical, but do you honestly believe that even if you point out the flaws in the system, there will be a great enough political will to change things? =/

I am not saying I am joining the politics dude.  My plan is to start from the entry level and so on.  You can't think about being president or something right off the bat.  Just try to make things better even if its a small thing and always try to improve yourself.  There are lot of things I can make a difference in health fields.  And this is a field that is fast growing and will always be needed.  I didn't even start a job yet relating to the field.  Let me get on the field and then I would see what I can do to improve it.

Same here. i guess I still read it because I saw it begin so I am attached to it.

Same here. i guess I still read it because I saw it begin so I am attached to it.

Well I think with Fairy Tail lot of us just got attached to it and it has funny scenes and good lovable characters.  Fairy Tail is very weird.  Its like one moment you feel like this manga is going to go to great heights be one of the best, and then the author trolls us with something stupid and you are like meh.  I think Fairy Tail author lacks detail and planning.  He has great ideas and great awesome characters but he somehow messes things up.  One thing I would say make Fairy Tail lot better is that if he stops keep on making Natsu the hero in every arc.  Make Natsu lose some more and focus on other characters and don't over hype characters and then make them look like garbage as was the case with Sting and Rogue.  Mashima I feel like keeps on trolling the readers in the manga.  Its like Fairy Tail is becoming great awesome one of the best and then next moment you are like what the hell is this crap?

As our info bureau, they will launch ICBM , LCAC, heli etc.  very near future. 

we cannot sleep well  cuz Nk's treat.

i wanna kill'em all 

Well they are not going to send them at least against US.  Like I said its tantamount to suicide.  Only one that North Korea can bully a little is South Korea, other nations if they try they are screwed.  And mostly other nations are too far away, they can only attack people in close range and China and Japan are lot more powerful and won't take shit.  South Korea seems to be the only option for them because militarily not much difference between the two nations.  And actually I could see your point of view, you seem to be from South Korea.  I really hope nothing bad happens where you guys are forced to get into war.  Personally I think South Korea should get other nations to intervene directly in North Korea or something so as to make sure that they have no chance of attacking but at the same time remember most of the people in the country are just like innocent civilians that has no idea about the outside World, so extremely delicate situation.

@Dragon

Health economics? Sounds pretty cool. Do you look at things like the interactions between insurance companies, hospitals, private practices, and so on? My dad is a doctor, so this piques my interest.

Actually yes.  I look at the interactions between all these things and the whole point is to make the health system more efficient and better.  I live in US and our health system sucks.  We spend the most money by a large margin, yet our health quality is ranked #16 in the World.  The whole system has lot of faults.  And also my sister is a doctor, and she also tells me about how bad the management and the system is here.  Very interested in the field.  Hoping to get a good job where I can make a difference.

Angel Densetsu recently, funny manga as hell.  The author is the same as Claymore.
