Nothing makes for an exciting Jump series than talking why you can't do something
Earthchild Ch.8 or Sitting Around In A Room And Making Excuses for Bad Writing
It's weird how little I can give a shit about a man in turmoil over his lost wife.
>A fucking BUG
Did...did this chapter just reveal that the MC had a kid with an underage girl?
He really whiny, like I get it, but he keep going around the point that it come back to be annoying.
>Haha look how cool I am
>Actually this is incredibly difficult
do you even lift brah
WastE director getting pissed over trust of all things. Absolutely amazing
>Just fly into space with your psychic baby
AHahaha what the fuck I think I predicted this
Is this "back pedal" the manga?
Like the author keep go back on ideas he established in the previous chapter(s)? Why? For shock value? Or he just read feedback and change shit without any personal stand?
>Use PsyShock, Mamoru!
The baby is a fucking tool
He's clearly been winging it ever since chapter 4
this went from a heavy backstory to a manzai routine really fast, it's almost like the author is taking the piss
I think the implication here is that Rock Mom get powers as a baby and then they forced her to age up. But she only realized she had powers on a random walk to save a puppy? It's a bit confusing.
Is this AXE SOON hint?
It implied that she got age up from 1 to 10, then got raise from when she was 10 until now by the govt. So her real age is around teenager
But didn't they say in the first fucking chapter that there were a bunch of earthchildren with similar capabilities at the same time and she was nothing special? He's just writing stuff in the moment
What the absolute fuck, what is shinkai even trying to do, what the fuck is this. And why is the "we can't use another spaceship because... WE JUST CAN'T OK?" still used as an excuse when it doesn't make any fucking sense
lmfao this shit is getting axed 100%
is this treated as teenage mom?
woop, mean for
This dude is bullshitting this story week by week and I'm all for it.
So, this shit is legit an oneshot somehow force to serializing, right?
Just like his great mentor Hirohiko Araki Sensei and his the legendary Akira Toriyama!!!
Man they must really want this to end in a few chapters
Great chapter, sad to see that so much discussion is talking about the axe instead of the actual story. Anyways, how do you guys feel about Mamoru being aged up 10 years instead of going about it naturally? I was hoping we could have some SoL moments as he gets older and hones his power, but I guess it's being skipped. With Mamoru having more agency as an older boy, will it be more interesting?
Nobody forced him. He just accepted to serialize his oneshot with obviously no idea on what to do after
He just wrote the oneshot and when they told him it was gonna be serialized without previous advice he had no fucking idea what to do and now is writing whatever comes to his mind every week, right?
Here the thing, he not a rookie, he got 2 series already. He suppose to know what to do when you get an offer for serialization
Raphtalia!
I thought we learned in the first chapter that there are multiple earthchildren so not sure why the mc is surprised there’s more than one??
This entiry chapter is screaming "Axed".
>I thought we learned in the first chapter that there are multiple earthchildren
Either the first chapter mistranslated something in good faith or a certain idiot wasn't doing his job.
This is fucking hilarious. If there's something I have to give the author is that it managed to get me emotionally invested, because I really hate this character.
The folks on the ISS gonna think it's the start of a horror movie if somebody knocks on the Cupola or Quest airlock.
That's the worst thing about all this, he's got almost 20 years of experience, how can someone like that write such a shit trainwreck not even rookies make in their first attempt?
Maybe he was just desperate to get another series before getting too old so he accepted to be serialized without even think about what to do next.
>This one is really good and could you do a serialization?
>Sure, it'll be easy.
It's not actually easy
I seriouslly think he has some kind of mental disorder
If anything, his experience is what's keeping this bullshitting endeavor together.
after reading this shit i don't believe he has any experience writing manga at all
Is he really just not going to address at all that chapter 1 said there were thousands of earthchildren
>what if I skip to the part where Osamu borrows Chika's trion
>aw shit, the votes will be rolling in now
>btw keep up the good work with the normaldad wank, it's the best way to force the audience to like your character
>how do you guys feel about Mamoru being aged up 10 years instead of going about it naturally?
I think it's stupid, I never really had the problems with the tech level some other people had of expecting them to be able to retrieve a rock but if they can make people grow 10 years in a fucking month I actually start to agree with that people questioning the tech level
If the author was a better writer then I'd be willing to chalk it up to a translation boo-boo
He's already just a pokemon, don't know why the father is talking like he didn't order him to stop crying and he did it just one chapter ago
I think the tech consistently has always been questionable but there was room to give it a benefit of a doubt. Not all science develops at the same rate and maybe the introduction of Earthchild in the world meant a more rapid advancement of cerebral related technology over practical spaceships and space debris retrieval. This chapter is literately just "Fuck it who cares".
If there were two things the axebait chapters of WT did right, they were making the MC with the cool powers interesting to watch and letting the MC who's way over his head get constantly shit on for his decisions. We are 8 chapters in and the cast is STILL treating the dad who has barely done anything like the fucking messiah.
What will the next arc be after the mom is saved?
It could easily become a legit battle shounen like KHR.
Nobodyknows right now even the mangaka
>Flash forward to the REAL Crisis.
>Mamoru smirks as alien spaceships descend
>Heh, looks like my real battle has just begun...
>Father... mother... thank you...
>LOOK FORWARD TO HIDEO SHINKAI'S NEXT WORK
SoL where best dad and psychic baby cart a stuck-in-a-rock waifu to all kinds of family fun activities
another case of editors not tard wrangling "experienced" authors, a la samurai 8
maybe she meant a few thousand regular people, but obviously that turned out not to be true anyway
Thanks for reminding me of how shitty TPGW MC was.
He would've been better off as some psychopathic villain who deluded himself that what he's doing is actually for the goodness.
Maybe the series should have just been that from the start, we're a bit full up on gags at the moment but roboco has had a good run it could end to make room for a new one
I can only imaging something along those lines is what she meant
People would probably call it a cheap Saiki Kusuo prequel but damn would I rather have that then what we ended up getting
that's when the aforementioned thousands of Earthchildren will appear and they'll have Earthchildren Rank Wars
