Fuck man I'm trying really hard to not start reading the comic. I just want more RIGHT NOW. I need to know what happens to Nolan, I don't want him to die and I want to see what his books are all about. Waiting a whole week for one episode is bad enough..

aaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE TO FUCKING WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR WHYY FUCK

I’ve done this watching animes before and in my opinion it’s never worth it to read ahead. You don’t get the best possible experience when learning important plot points and you let preconceptions affect your enjoyment when the new episodes come out.

Depends. Reading Attack on Titan a couple of years ago was the right decision since I spared me two years of hyping up the ending to end up being dogshit lol

Same with Boruto. The story is so mid (recently picking up) that watching the anime is a huge waste of time (and the animation sucks so bad)

The anime ending was better than the manga ending. This is actually a perfect example of why you shouldn’t read ahead. the ending worked so much better in the anime and they learned from the mangas mistakes. They fleshed it out more and changed a couple minor things for the better. Also The ending isn’t dog shit, if you didn’t like it you didn’t like it. Personally loved it. I read the manga ending after finishing the anime and it’s so much worse of an experience. It’s more rushed, and the lack of music, animation, and VA waters down the experience so much.

I know this is 9 days ago but thankfully the " Thank you for being a mass murderer" doesn't happen in the anime version.
