Resurecting dead threads ftw.

Started watching Death Note, dubbed but it's pure quality. Loveing every minute. So good I may actually rank it above the mighty Bebop.

That is all, but suddenly got an urge to watch some anime, so on the hunt I go. I could catch up on Naruto and Bleach I guess, but that is ALOT of catching up.

You speak in tongues! Better than Bebop, that is not possible.

Just finished watching death note. Still really really good, but meh the end parts were boring to watch except for the very last episode, which the manga did a little better. Also the second intro sequence has the worst music ever.

Bebop stays on top for being excellent throughout

there is also another version of death note made with real actors

The natural ballance is returned.


Never watched Death Note, the name doesn't grab me and make me interested, something like Cowboy Bebop you have to watch just to know what the name is about, Death Note just sounds like a book that someone writes in and another person dies. I'm sure there's more to it since it appears to be a popular anime and I've been tempted to see it because of that, but like I say the name has never drawn me in.

Thats is pretty much exactly what it is, a book that kills people. But it's the overly complicated plot that Light dreams up to change the world with the book that makes up the story, and his descent into what I suppose is madness or just the out and out evil that the notes power brings out in people. And it has L, and L is cool.

Just rewatched Perfect Blue, best anime movie ever imo. Love this film far too much. Fantastic psychlogical thriller type thing

I'm currently watching naruto shippuden...i got addicted because I love little emo ninjas (Sasuke forever! <3)

um other things i've watched are shugo chara, dragonball & dragonball z (can they really be called anime) fruits basket and ranma 1/2 (although the manga is better)

I have to say I'm really into naruto atm, it'll probably change though.

The problem with Naruto, Bleach and Dragonballz is that at some point they let the main character get way too powerful and all the more interesting side characters get dumbed and forgotten about, Tien, Rock Lee, Neji, nearly everyone in Bleach. When they've done that the story becomes linear and completely focused on that character.

I'm reading the Manga's now for Bleach and Naruto, I'm not that interested in them at the moment, Naruto is a bit boring at the moment though it should pick up soon and Bleach is ok but nothing is really happening.

well so far it isn't linear in naruto, perhaps that'll change...I just want Sasuke back </3 and DBZ was always linear. Vegeta forever <3 (I'm sad I know)

Vegeta is awesome, he should always have been the most powerful character Goku always gained massive boosts for doing nearly nothing. Vegeta trained his ass off, it doesn't really send a good message, hard work doesn't pay off, be a silly Monkey.

How far are you in Naruto?

Think I might rewatch Cowboy Bebop soon, been thinking about it the last few day and can't really remember much about it.

Oh the thing also with the Naruto manga at the moment is that it should be really cool, I won't give out any spoilers but yeah and it's just not, it's really just like a filler when it shouldn't be, it should be all out OH MY GOD, but it's more like blah blah blah.

aaargh, i ususally skip those episodes. I think i'm on around about episode 109 of shippuden or something.

My favourite episode of DBZ was when vegeta was wearing the pink "bad man" tshirt, just awesome ^^

Yeah that bit was one of my favourites as well, the good thing with Vegeta never being able to catch up to Goku is the way he handles it, his frustration at being weaker has created some of the best moments in the series, the Buu saga is one of his best.

tsk tsk you young whippersnappers always in a rush!
of course it's all about the main arc with animes but sometimes fillers can be good too.

I mean fillers are good once in a while but Naruto does have tonnes of it. its all filler no story sometimes, in fact naruto from around episode 100 to the end of it is almost complete filler (thats around 120 episodes of filler before it moves on to shippuden)

Don't get me wrong I like the character development bits but yeah sometimes it goes just too far.

If it's entertaining it's fine, but most of the time filler is really boring. Oh Bleach was a git for filler, in the middle of the main story it just throughs filler in, I had no idea what was going on everything just changed I was like "What the hell?!?! Did I miss a few episodes?" I think it was when the vampire thing started. I love the silly fillers episodes that pop up.

I have to say that I really hate the "Lets all help each other, sharing is fun, team work yeah!" crap thats filling anime, and their over the top love for food, not the Saiyan we're going to eat everything! love for food, the everytime looks so yummy, love for food. It's too much they need to cut that s**t out. I have only read Naruto and Bleach manga for quite a while now and not watched any anime for a long time but there was something else which was getting on my nerves.

I'm on episode 9 I think of Cowboy Bebop now, it's quite nice to watch it again it's been so long that I really don't remember much so I get a hint of oh I remember this but I don't know what happens in the episode so it's enjoyable to watch. Or I may kind of know what happens but am not completely sure.

Just finished the last episode of Cowboy Bebop, very sad last few episodes. Going to watch the movie sometime but not now.

season 6 of Naruto is amazing - all killer no filler sorta stuff! I can't wait to finish the rest of it. very Sasuke heavy <3

*Fenon's thoughts*

Should I tell her that Sasuke dies in what must be the next series? He's been dead for a while now in the Manga.

dude you should use a spoiler thing for that sorta thing. howdu do a spolier thing that u do anyway?

maybe i'll giv naruto another go. at the moment i'm watchin the blood+ series

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! He CAN'T die! I'll cry </3

Finally the boring stuff in the Naruto manga is coming to an end!

pfft...
