Fuck, what a blow to my God-like omnipotence..

Aside from one of my friends who likes that sort of anime, all of my friends are pretty apathetic or leaning towards dislike of anime.

A good deal of people I know are hardcore otakus, a few even more over-the-top than I am.

I only have one friend who is vocal about his dislike of anime, but he's one of those "IT'S ALL FAGGOTSHIT" types.

I have thus far convinced him to watch Black Lagoon, he seems to have an interest in the premise and characters.

Yes, but I don't welch on them.

He made the foolish statement, then backs out on it halfway through after realizing he had no clue what he was talking about.

At least my ego won't allow me to realize I'm wrong, not to mention the fact people take far too much of what I say seriously.

If I was on NG to post seriously, then I certainly would not have this many posts.

Anime haters just yelll at you until you give up, passive people often have no clue what I'm on about and the hardcores tend to repeat themselves (IF I HAVE TO ENDURE ONE MORE FUCKING CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW AWESOE DIO BRANDO IS, I WILL LOSE MY GODDANED MIND!).

When I realise I'm wrong about something halfway through arguing, I tend to either keep going with my argument until the other person gives up, or change my argument randomly.

Urda: The Third Reich, Lupin III, Fullmetal Alchemist, Hellsing, Urusei Yatsura, FLCL, Tell Adolf (a manga, but nonetheless significant for blatantly involving the Nazi party as central characters), etc.

It just consisted of a bunch of nazis being slaughtered.

I consider myself an amateur scientist, and I enjoy the vast majority of Gundam series. I like how they try to make sci-fi things work in a logical quasi-scientific way (i.e., putting colonies only at Lagrange points - stable places between Earth and Luna).

Anyone remember the Gundam series where the Earth was at war with a bunch of guys in space?

There weren't a lot of REAL Gundam battles, just guys in Gundams fucking up little shitty mechs.

I'd love to see Nietzsche as a villain in an anime.

On the topic of Nietzsche in anime, the Xenosaga TV show is lacking a fair deal of the series' allusions to his work.

That saddens me.

Indeed, it's like they don't even know how to actually look up the term and learn that this show is intended to be enjoyed by your 12 year old brother, not you.

One needn't even research it.

Most shonen animes are obviously targeted to younger audiences, merely watching them should give it away.

Every gundam conversation requires at least one Ramba Ral quote.

I agree.

If i knew him, i would point a gun at him and force him to finish Hellsing. NO FOOD UNTILL YOU FINISH THIS CHAPTER.

It takes like a million years for each chapter.

Dutch was at his peak of badassery in that arc. It was a refreshing change to see him do something other than sit around talking to Benny.

It must have taken ages to come up with all the new characters created for the Greenback Jane arc.

I think he shot a revolver a few times in the Roberta arc, but missed and got pulled out of the car by his arm.

Well kevlar restricts movement, and the citizens of Roanapur need their flexibility to do ridiculously over the top stunts.

Intelligent? He got himself shot while making an entrance. That's comparable to that giant Nazi.

Threatening? The guy can't even drink alcohol.

Either way; he's still one of the more interesting characters of the show, despite only appearing for about 1-2 minutes in total.

There's a reasonable amount of characters like that in Black Lagoon, though.

Sawyer the Cleaner, Leigharch (sorta)...

And the rest of the minor characters I can think of had a bit more of a part in their episodes.

So yeah, I, a very patient man, am now quitting bleach...the only reason I was watching it before was because a friend was obsessed with it...I got passed him, and torwards the end where it started to suck...I dislike it now, but hey, only one a week to figure out what's going to happen (yeah yeah, Aizen's gonna get pwnt, but I wanna know how...I'm just crazy like that.) but now I figure out of a new season of fillers....ONE HUNDRED AND FUCKING FIFTY EPISODES INTO THE FUCKING SERIES AND YOU'RE MAKING THE NEXT SEASON ALL FILLERS FOR THE FUCKING MANGA ARTIST. Why can't you take an example from FMA and, God forbid, SPLIT OFF?! I mean, you're already making your own story, so why not just make a continuation of the story already going on?

Sorry if that seemed like a rant, you guys know that I type a lot...but I just had to say that somewhere. This series used to be slightly decent, and enough to keep me watching just to see what happens...now I'm fucking pissed, and I'm not even going to finish this arc, because I know it's just leading into another filler arc.

If there isn't going to be that forest of menos arc, and it was all false (no citation on wiki) then mmkay, I'll still keep up with it just to see what happens. But Jeesh. That's just...stupidity. Milking a cow, if I ever saw it. Sucks it's a children's cartoon in Japan, or it'd already be rushed to end, I'm sure of it.

In other news, I still don't know what new anime I should watch. Just throw me a bone, something that I probably haven't seen (from seeing my posts, y'know, not saying you guys really know me personally XD) and I'll watch it. Preferably something horrific, or horror related....in anticipation of going to a Halloween event, everything I'm reading/listening/watching is horror related, to kinda get me in the mood...oh and "hardcore" stuff counts too XD.

Applogizing about the rant.

How do you know its gonna be filler though? Also they just entered huceo mundeo in the anime(Haven't watched the latest episode yet though, 143) unless they have like a hundred fights with filler arrancar before they get to los noches I don't see how they can pull it off.

Rant again.

Based after all the information i've gathered and my personal perdictions I have a feeling ichigo, chad and the others are going to be leaving huceo mundeo with orihime, orihime thinks she destroys the orb of distortain when she really accidently restored it to its orignal state. They escape huceo mundeo, Aizens newly made perfect arrancar armies attack karakura town, forest of menos, etc karakura town ends up destroyed and the kings key made. Aizen goes into the Kings dimeson with Gin, Tousen and mabye one or two espadas. Ichigo and the others go after them, Aizens past is revealed through FBs and we understand why he wants to kill the king, ichigo and the others fight againest Aizen and lose then ichigo comes back up super charged like kenshin did in his fight with shishio in rurouni kenshin, ichgo barely kills/defeats(No one ever dies in bleach. -_-) Aizen and it is revealed the king was really evil and shit and was plotting to use Aizens plot into the kings dimesnon to escape and go to hell or something where he will raise a demon army or something. The arrancar armies are conquered by the shinigami and orihime uses her power to restore karakura town and revive all the residents. After that I cannot perdict really.
