You like text on GIF memes? Cool, we do also.
No idea what the fuck we mean? Look at the other posts and you'll get the gist.
Join in and have fun lads.
P.S. It might be easiest to upload your GIFs to Imgur/Giphy and put a direct link as your post (thus embedding) as Lemmy often doesn't play nicely with them natively.

Ah, the Juggernaut scene? I literally dropped it then and there.
The best part is that according to the author that character wasn't originally in the story, publishers pressured him to put in some fanservice, and he crated that character out of spite.
This isn't the first time the author has done this. An earlier show of his, Soul Eater, has a character that is a cat with the ability to turn into a woman. She doesn't have any clothes on when in her human form, and she loves to prank the human characters by transforming at the worst times. Fortunately, she is only the protagonists roommate, so you can go episodes at a time without seeing her, since the gang leaves her at home when they go out on missions.
I wonder if that was spite fanservice too?
I get the feeling that the worst tropes of manga are often there at the publisher's demand.
