things you hate with a passion

anime or not, that chick is smokin' hot.

 

[waif]

I find that hot tbh. Moar?

The fillers in Bleach take the cake of suckage. All those new characters, it's like reading the bible and then all of a sudden Moses starts shooting lasers with his eyes or something. I haven't continued to watch after the fillers either, they're just milking this stuff as much as they can. It's like first Ichigo sucked, then he got better and better until he beat Buyakuya, and now all of a sudden there's a bunch of new people who are all better than him again, it's so uncreative.

That's why I've stopped watching series that never end. I usually wait until they are completed before I take them up nowdays, and usually not series that are 150+ episodes, because there are very likely to be lots of filler in there. 25-50 episodes are perfect imo.

I dunno, sometimes if something is good it's nice to have a lot of it. Sometimes watching decent filler is just really fun, but it has to be a series that's well written and where you like the characters. Buffy the Vampire Slayer could get away with 6-8 episodes of monster of the week per season like that; Battlestar Galactica's filler was painful and stupid. Much like the rest of the show, actually.

funnily

wat

 

[Eligos]

I think it's even more annoying when a budget runs out and they don't finish the series, tbh. Or endings that aren't really endings, as if they're leaving room for a sequel/OVA/whatever.

 

[Xorv]

I just got to say DBZ was the only anime I ever enjoyed, and when I finally saw the ending 10 years later (you tube didn't exist back then) I couldn't believe how messed up and incomplete the ending was. It was as if the writer was like, AH FUCK IT! I'M DONE! (but in Japanese of course)

ITS OVER 9000

That was seriously the entire plot of that show - keep introducing new characters with higher and higher "power levels" and bigger energy blasts, and have Goku inevitably overtake them over the span of a single 50-episode battle. I don't know what kind of "grand finale" you were expecting, Xorv.

 

[Xorv]

did you even see the last episode?

Just pre-empting how dissapointed I'm going to be with Bleach

 

[Blind Guardian]

And there's never any logic to it either, it's always some guy who beats the shit out of him, but in the end he slowly gets up from the ground and beats him, seemingly with only willpower.

No. I'm not sure how that renders my point irrelevant though.

Yes. Clearly the same cliffhanger device used over and over again provides all the suspense you'd ever need to hold up the entire series.

Like quite a few animes tbh

 

[Vimana]

How entertaining is it if he goes in there unphased whatsoever and beats the enemy quickly with absolutely no trouble?

 

[zabu of nΩd]

The real question is: how much entertainment value does it have to begin with?

 

[SentinelSlain]

it's a load of gay faggot shit.

Tbh DBZ is/was awful awful awful. Just bigger and bigger hair. Once they could destroy the world the stakes kept getting higher but it was meaningless because the consequence was simply that the world would get destroyed. I only ever saw the occasional episode back when I watched Toonami.

Btw, once I saw this anime on Toonami that I haven't been able to identify or find since. I think the name was "Deep Blue" or something and the plot involved submarine warfare between humans and some sort of merpeople and it was semi-post-apocalyptic and stuff. I don't think it was a series but a full-length movie or a miniseries or something, but I can't be sure. I only got to see part of it and I always wanted to see the rest. Anyone know what it is/can help?

I think you're talking about Blue Submarine NO. 6. I used to watch it when I was like 12, same with DBZ.(very appealing to a childs imagination LOL)

 

[waif]

THAT'S IT.
Thanks, dude. I take it that's a series? I guess I just saw a marathon or something. Cool. Thanks, I'll see if netflix has it.

EDIT: they do. Nice. And there is a movie.
Sweet.
