Leaving and coming back is easy mode, Try staying active every day for years. That is hard mode.

this final arc is great, much better than naruto's for sure. kubo keeps delivering cute girls so i can't hate him.

Cute girls make everything better.

More or less, what Bleach does right is actually decent, and what it does wrong, well not so much.

Bleach is dragged out, but still a nice anime. I may not agree with all of it, and dislike some characters, but it has more good points than poor ones.

gotta say i'm still surprised at how long kubo can stretch out bleach. there's still like a 100 more chapters before it will prob end.

Yeah, I'm actually considering dropping it for a while since the chapter seem to last for few pages of the battle itself and it wasn't even halfway through each time. Even Toriyama didn't drag his story arcs that badly when he did the Frieza saga which you know is pretty infamous even before Toei stuffed it with fillers that made Frieza incapable of telling time.

The early part of Bleach was fun and the final arc started out promising but then...

Taking a break is a great way to deal with the dragged parts. You can actually enjoy it more after a vacation.

I know every manga can have a similar character designs but Lynn Okamoto may have been one of the biggest offenders since it's hard to tell if it was supposed to be intentional or he was just lazy.

In Elfen Lied, Nana has a identical character design to that of Kurama's wife and considering her relationship with him, I always wonder if that happens to play a role on why he cared about her. But then you have #28 and Nozomi...also when comparing Okamoto's other works, in Nononono, the protagonist resembles Yuka. Then you have a genderflipped version in Ryouta in Kiwaguro.

Granted in Nononono, it was likely intentional considering you have a journalist and his assistant resembling Kurama and his assistant.

But then in Kiwaguro, without the color panels the only way to tell apart Hatsuna and Kazumi is that the former has her hair tied to one side, otherwise they'd be impossible to tell apart.

Could have at least put in more effort on Hatsuna's character design.

Parasyte really isn't as bad as I expected. However, I hate the opening theme song. The first half of the lyrics are incoherent because they've been too heavily modulated. The second half of the lyrics are also incoherent because the vocalist screams instead of singing. Whatever the words are, I'm sure it's typical death-metal bullshit.

I agree that the opening song is bad. Why did you enjoy the show?

I guess they were trying to make the show appeal more to a modern audience, considering the series (manga adaptation) is 27 years old. Personally, I think the dubstep music is a nice change from the orchestral-type music that you often find in other anime.

I think the music has been discussed enough, why do you think Parasyte is worth watching?

Toonami isn't like how it used to be before shows like Naruto killed it back in 2008

Maybe a bit old but I knew they'd choose Light Yagami's VA to voice Sweet Mask in One Punch Man. Even before the anime is announced he's the kind of character Miyano would voice, also he even looks like Light and is as big of a douche bag as well (okay, maybe not as bad as Light was but still). Probably the most obvious casting choice of the series.

That was the common trend of that thread several years ago, how times have changed by slowing down.

No, Doc has a hateon for Parasyte and I got a laugh seeing him go bad cop on people just now over it.

Is has seem to go down in quality, plus ending earlier is never a good sign.

they weren't getting ratings, plus they brought back stuff no one wanted, like inuyasha since that was in repeat hell since 2003

I understand why it happened, but would be nice if they could slowly make it longer. Maybe thirty minutes every season?
They could give Tom a 15 min cartoon. Everybody loves Tom.

You should of bet your friends, You could of made some money on your prediction.

Started watching Love Live!
After playing the game in my cellphone, I decided to watch it. Episode 3 almost made me cry...
You guys should watch it, it's very good.

After finishing the Love Live! First season, I noticed that I cried like a faggot for 10 episodes. Watching this anime is an extrasensorial experience. Watching the satisfaction of the School Idols group µ's and the way they put effort, from this anime series I learned that if you don't succeed at the attempt number 1, don't worry because the numbers are infinite and you can always try again.

Of all the anime series I've seen this is the most impacting for me.
Extremely recommended, very good.

Probably not. Don't actively visit NG anymore. Kinda grew out of the NG scene sadly.
But to all the new kids on the block coming into the anime scene, give the older shows a shot. Learn your roots, the older ones still are some of the best animes you can possibly find. And not just the obvious ones like DBZ and the like.
Try ones like:
Clannad
Trigun
Gun X Sword
Hellsing (both of them)
Black Blood Brothers
Etc.
There's a whole bunch out there, just can't think of them off the top of my head.

We are different people. I didn't cried with Clannad, and almost everybody did. But anyway, glad you liked it.
