Anime

Saw your Sig, as a matter of fact i was just watching the latest episode of Shakugan no Shana just a few hours ago on YouTube (need to do a reality check). I found the first season started off great but tended to drag on with senseless fighting, neglecting character development. Season two became exactly the opposite in the beginning, but things seem like their picking up around episode 12.

Not a big fan of DBZ lol. After it started taking them a full episode just to power-up, I gave up

**Jdeadevil** · 12-25-2007 12:54 AM

Same with me and Naruto. I gave up because all they did was talk, and the battles were slow. They kept explaining what they did after they did it. Now that's not a true battle, when you clearly state to your enemy what you just did to them.

I'm not into anime/manga as much as you all as I only follow these three:

- Keroro Gunso (But manga is way much better than anime)
- Evangelion
- Hellsing

**bradysimpson** · 03-13-2008 10:51 AM

**slayer** · 03-20-2008 07:58 AM

Evangelion was good. I was very surprised about Rei though.

Not dragonball z, just the original Dragonball without z added. Now that's awesome show. I'm not an avid fan of animes myself, but I like full metal alchemist and Berserk.

**The Cusp** · 04-24-2008 03:16 AM

Last episode of Ghost Hound just came out!

**Pastro** · 04-24-2008 04:54 AM

I'm caught up in Bleach finally, which isn't that big a pain because I was only watching one or two episodes a week anyways, I also just finished Death Note. I really enjoyed it however a the death of a "certain" character kind of ruined it for me, I'm also not sure if I like how it ended.

**hyperangel13** · 04-24-2008 05:30 AM

Anyone watching Shugo Chara at the moment? It may be girly and corny, but it's still awesome. :3

Inuyasha = Naruto = Bleach = One Piece = SAME NEVERENDING STUFF.

Especially Inuyasha and Bleach. I stood through 24 volumes of Inuyasha and stopped, then quit Bleach when I saw "oh crap, 230+ episodes??"

I agree with you, Pastro. Death Note should have ended much awesomer.

lol Bleach is only up to 168 episodes so far, i like it to be honest. Someone else (i think on a different thread) compared it to DBZ, which i think is kind of an insult. I mean DBZ would drag on one fight for like 30 episodes, with bleach it's like a fight takes 1-2 episodes 3 at the max.

Sometimes the fight scenes in Bleach take a little while, but there's almost always multiple actions taking place at the same time. There are about 50 or so episodes of fillers, though, so you could just skip those. (Just take the characters that seem out of place with a grain of salt.)

I didn't ever watch anime until I started dating my current girlfriend. Since then, I've gotten into Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Bleach. Can't believe I never liked it before. WTF??

your girlfriend is cool

*Edit*
Also if anyone hasn't checked out Claymore yet, it's a pretty decent anime.

I wouldn't compare it to the 'epicness' of DBZ, but still, 1-2 episodes for a fight is too much. Not that I don't enjoy shonen or fighting, but dragging on WAY too long like that is annoying. FMA's fight scenes were barely 10 minutes at the longest (Lab 5 arc) and then they went back to story.

Story >> giant fight scenes. Also, it has to have some sort of goal in the end that it's going towards. I didn't see one in Bleach. At least Naruto finally got one after a while. DBZ had none. One Piece didn't seem to have one, either, though correct me if I'm wrong. To be honest, Host Club didn't have one at the start but it became evident after a while, especially in the manga.

What can I say? I like something well-written over bloody and blech.

ah bleach rocks!(and is by far the best) eureka 7 was nice to watch, full metal alchemst and wolf's rain were kinda sad but were totally awesome, hellsing, samurai champlo, and afro samurai all seemed to like killing, samuai 7 was cool, but one i think everyone should see is, "tek Janson" by the colbert report!

Bleach
Nauto
Psalms of planets: Eureka7
Full metal alchemist
Wolf's Rain
Hellsing
Samurai champlo
Afro samurai
Samurai 7
TEK JANSON
