Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

@Mickeymac: It's true that the filler is one of the worst parts of Bleach, but the canon material isn't much better. Unless you enjoy long, pointless fights, plot holes, loads of throwaway characters and villains who love pulling out the deus ex machina card every time they seem to be bested. It's mildly amusing, but mostly frustrating to watch...

^ This perfectly sums up the whole series imo.

Edit: Kinda spoilerish at the bottom I suppose?

Aizen topped my list of most annoying antagonists ever. Even Naraku wasn't as bad as him.

Kind've upset Nelliel just... disappeared from the story entirely. But it was fun seeing Kenny tearing Nnoitora apart.

@TwilightV: I completely agree...

I find it hard to believe that anything can be more annoying than...well, anything from Inuyasha.

You've yet to experience Aizen, Mickeymac...

Aizen is sort of awesome in how awful he is, Inuyasha is just the first few episodes of an ok anime that never went anywhere except for a black hole of sameness and boredom.

I keep hearing good things about Ghost in Shell so i'm going to have to put that next on my "Anime To Watch" list. Right after i finish paranoia agent.

I loved Paranoia Agent, though I remember so little from it since I was always zonked when I watched it. Same with pretty much any show on Adult Swim.

Mmm it's a pretty interesting series. I've also have heard good things about Darker Than Black. Is that any good?

I started watching Deadman Wonderland. I have a feeling that the show is going to be one of those 13-episode shows where a few more episodes would have made the show better than it is (or in this case going to be).

And very sexy, too.

Has anyone seen Beelzebub? If so, I'd be interested to hear what you make of it.

Bleach just won the all-time award for Saying Exactly The Same Thing In The Most Ways Possible In A Single Scene.

"Problem is, it's not your choice [whether you join our group or not]"
"You're not the one who makes the decision."
"It means the power to choose is entirely our choice."
"The bottom line is, the decision of letting you join is completely up to us."
"After we determine your strength, we decide whether we want you... or not."
"So stop coming in here and making empty threats. You don't have any choice in the matter. Do you understand?"
"If you're powerful, we'll let you join us. But if it turns out you're weak then you can forget it."
"You still don't understand, do you? As I told you, it's not your choice!"

For the love of all that is holy, please just stop.

I honestly didn't remove much dialogue from that either. And Ichigo wins Most Retarded Response To Hearing The Same Thing Repeated Several Times Over by replying to that lot with "I'm not going to do it."
There are tumours that are more fun to have than watching this anime.

@Sushi
I'm looking forward to the review

Getting to completely rip it to pieces in the review almost makes it worth putting the time into watching it. ...Almost.

I have become addicted to Death Note.

I got it last week along with Code Geass. I decided to watch Code Geass first though, so definitely no Death Note spoilers please!!

Totally stunned by Code Geass though. Superb quality of animation and an excellent dub IMO.

I've just seen the first episode of "Baccano!"
It's both gory and confusing.

Bleach at first was a really good anime and had some awesome arcs and episodes, but now I think its the worst anime I've seen. You have to get through so much crap to get to the really good episodes now. I wonder if there are any other anime that handle fillers as badly as Bleach. Some fillers are even longer than some of the most important arcs which is ridiculous. Sureley, they would have better episodes ready before the end of some of the needlessley long filler arcs. It might not be so bad if those filler arcs weren't as bad as they are because Bleach has some really bad filler arcs and some of the characters seem out of character too. EDIT: Actually Bleach isn't the worst anime I've seen, One piece is, I can't stand that anime. There are so many annoying characters in that, especially the main character.
