NEWSFLASH!

The series started to suck long before the fillers began.

Kind of like your mom?

And no it didn't. Also Bleach is a good series. But too each his own...as long as you like Slayers I don't mind.

Oh, hey, how does I "opinion" here?

Also Bleach is a good series.

Soul Society arc and recent episodes = very yes
Everything else = shitfucking fail

Damn straight.

Ugh, I'm sick as a dog today, must find something to do to occupy my time.

Can't wait for tomorrow afternoon, for my order will arrive, and I can finally stop re-reading stuff for a day or two.

Right-o.

Can't wait for my JJBA/Kashimashi fix, need moar manga....

I need moar Studio Ghibli movies.

MOAR.

I will be seeing Mibugishiden sometime this week or next week. It's about Hajime Saitou. I don't know if it's a true story about him or a fiction involving him like Rurouni Kenshin.

Specifically, it started to suck after the only (and I mean only) battle which tilts closest to 'epic' ended (The First Konoha Invasion).

...
Wait, what was that? Did someone whisper that I am implying that Naruto started to suck after the Akatsuki was introduced? Well, what a coincidence!

(What? The series did go downhill in terms of writing after that. <_<)

At least in Bleach, even if the writing didn't change, the Espada were a great addition. Ichigo's has had his ass kicked by those guys 4 times already....and Rukia got it even worse...

At 4/23/07 09:14 PM, Dr-HyakuNinGiri wrote: At least in Bleach, even if the writing didn't change

One apparent problem in Naruto; a severe absence of quality characters and an abundance of 'filler' characters.

I am not asking for epic level writing like the Count of Monte Cristo, but the addition of antagonist after antagonist which 'seems' to show some backstory only to die or vanish a few episodes/chapters later gives the name of "Flashback no Jutsu" powers which give them more superficial character depth at the cost of potentially valuable screentime. <_<

Strange how bankai is supposed to be there most powerfull form yet they have trouble with mere arrancar(the lower rank one's) I don't see how they can get anymore powerfull after getting bankai(I hope it doesn't end up like super sayains,you know like Bankai 2,bankai 3)

That's where the Vizard come in. I don't know if the Captains have a plan to become stronger, but that's why the series is still interesting...cus you want to know how anyone besides the Vizards can compete against the Espada. I think Ichigo will go back to using that "blue" power he used in the Soul Society Arc. Who even knows what Aizen's true motives are? Or the Vizards...cus barely anything is known about them...

Yeah, it's just a resort where all the girls in the anime go in their string bikinis to get a tan...except for Yoruichi...she's just there for the hell of it.

See?

And trust me, some are not worth seeing.

In fact, the only good non Miyazaki directed one is Whisper of the Heart.

Good amounts of action and a good enough plot,combined with a rather colorful cast of character's. Just avoid the filler's of course.

Alright thanks, I'll start watching Naruto (I still can't believe I havn't bothered to watch it yet).

And thanks for pointing out to avoid fillers. ^_^

I made it to episode 12 before I had to stop due to bootcamp. One day I will watch it, but for right now, I'm not watching any anime.

I was wondering, just how many manga series has Rumiko Takahashi done? I know of and have seen Inuyasha, Ranma 1/2, and Urusei Yatsura, but I hunger for more.

One-Pound Gospel looks interesting. The English version was published by Viz, just like Ranma 1/2. It's a four-part series, so buying the whole thing won't set me back too much. Apparently, the main character can't stop eating, so he reminds me of myself. This is definitely going into my manga library if and when I find it in bookstores.

Did you guys watch the special Digimon thing yesterday? It was on Jetix (or however the hell you spell it). I don't usually watch it but since it was Digimon I made an exception. Now are they fillers or do we consider them movies? The first was 50 minutes, the second was like 1 hour, the third was around 1 hour and 15 minutes, and the final one was about 1 hour as well. I guess the last three have never been shown in English before. Do you know if there will be any more?

It depends; were they trying to 'force' it into (but not replacing) the canon choronology in the form of a separate airing (i.e. not among the 'normal' sagas)?

Goddammit, you beat me to it.....

Well, I'm convinced I'll never learn my goddamn lesson, because my order isn't here yet....typical Coles never delivering shit on time/at all.

I think it still pertained to the storyline. Revenge of Diaboramon kept with the canon chronology of the Digimon Movie. The second one seemed to pertain to it. There wasn't anything weird besides the fact that Omnimon was on the net and could not come out. And that the main bad guy Digimon in the second one they had shown I guess was a part of an old main bad guy Digimon. He was the one that was one half on top of a prism-like metal thing. Then the third one probably weirded me out the most. The three main characters (Rika, Henry, and Takato) already had their Biomerge forms, Impmon had his digivolved form, and the one guy who was the champion of the card game also had his. And he came from the Digital World. The final one was pretty on track too. Just nothing big. Do they have to include things from the normal saga to not be called fillers?

*MILD SPOILERS!*
Worse still, I made the mistake of reading a spoiler guide, and I now officially hate Viz for choosing to only publish part three of JJBA, because now Dio won't even have a full on-screen appearance until the last two volumes.
*END SPOILERS!*

Which means that'll be yet another series I need to buy a million volumes of....

So what's new.

No, Viz has shortened the series to 16 volumes (they're only covering part three), but only 7 have been released and Dio only makes minor cameoes until volume 14.
*END SPOILERS!*

On top of that, I want to prioritize and buy older series (especially out-of-print stuff like Urusei Yatsura) first, so chances are I won't finish JJBA until around late 2008 (and that's assuming Viz finishes publishing it this year).

Are they going to do Steel Ball Run as a separate translation process, or are they taking into account that it is part of the Jojo chronology Canon?
