it doesn't have the needed character development yet.
Lisa's role is still ambiguous and not established, which is concerning. Everything else is fantastic.
still think it is aots for me as of now.


I get that it. It just doesn't have enough hooks in me yet to get me to sing any praises. The show is so "wait and see" that it bugs me a bit.

This is more for semantics sake, but I can't let it go this time. Why is HxH OVA scored lower than the original HxH? York New is the most brilliant arc in the series and all of its highlights are captured in that OVA. I have a feeling justice has abandoned MAL and I am starting to lose faith in my superhero.

Because....It's OVA???

It's got the 8 spot in OVA ranking section.

Oni-chichi rebuild got 10, though.

Yeah, I dug the 99 versions handling of that arc a bit more then the remake's. I dig the dark/grainy/aged looking color filter. Hisoka also had one of my favorite scenes near the end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2cI60cA0eE#t=543

Also dark blue hair Machi> pink hair Machi

To me, it's actually one of the most entertaining show this season. The production is great and manage to create a amazing atmosphere, I also really like Sphinx riddle and I enjoy how they mix in some Greek mythology, the police part is more classic but with some nice execution so I'm OK with it. All that is enough to keep me interested in the mystery behind the protagonists.

Hisoka was beautiful in that scene, I felt for the poor guy. All he wanted was a date.



That is one random bit I noticed is that pink/blue haired characters tended to get flipped in the 2011 remake.

Also isn't Oni Chi Chi that incest/rape pseudo-loli hentai? I'm surprised it's not in the top 10 overall.

Even though I'm head over heels for Namikawa Daisuke's performance as Hisoka, I will miss that sweet, eerie voice of his. It's pretty cool that he's playing Pariston though, who is shaping up to be part of my favorite trio of trolls along with Pouf/Hisoka.

Bleach might be a bit overrated if you analyze the storyline, the inconsistencies, the cliches and things such as pacing and coherence. But we can't deny that this shit is good:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q2aM5btBLVU

Also, considering that a lot of people, while watching Bleach, care more about the powers and the cool characters and fights... Either way, after Aizen = bullcrap. But I honestly think until then everything was fine and enjoyable. A shame the author got lost in his own creation.

@Kolnikov
Considering MAL's love for battle shounen, I feel an 8.0 is appropriate for the series. It's not as good as One Piece, but a lot more solid than Naruto because of it's focus on the rule of cool and the cockfights.

While Kubo couldn't let go, the last arc from the manga atm isn't that bad, but it's still building up. I just hope it ends after this one, however the Aizen issue hasn't been solved, if it's left unsolved for doujins and holding interest after it's over.

@kera
To avoid future shitstorms like that just be like "I tried watching it, got bored and dropped it so my impressions from the series is pretty meh and I have no interest picking it up". With some more appropriate wording such things can be avoided, unless you want to pull a roricon and provoke everyone.

I'm kind of the same with Gintama when I tried starting it off with the first 2 episodes. It didn't grab me, but I know now that it becomes more amusing like 20 eps on.

And doesn't JoJo's overblown cheesy action drama not enthrall you? Because that's the entire point of the series. Also you're missing the 2nd Part Battle Tendency which is the best one from the anime imo.

Monster.

- Nonsensical scenarios.
- Repetitive.
- Out-dated and over-used thrill mechanics. No real suspense aside from playing the next episode.
- Easily telegraphed resulting in a rather poor mystery and thriller.
- Too many episodic and annoying moments. Unnecessarily and annoyingly slows down the pace for further unnecessary character development and theme emphasis.
- Too much emphasis in character appearance, ideals, and actions; so open book that it deteriorates in the mystery department because of the lack of ambiguity. Themes and motifs and also deteriorated due to the blatant nature of the characters and their actions/choice of words.

It's not bad. It's above average, obviously, but nowhere near as great as people claim it to be.

I thought you'd finally understood the error of your ways and attained enlightment when you acknowledged Ping Pong as the one true masterpiece. But it seems you still have long, long way to go on your path to redemption, Botato-kun.

Oh, and what tsud said : fabulousness out-of-control =/= troll.

@kera at the very least try going through the 2nd part; Phantom Blood is arguably the weakest part of the show and there still might be a good chance that Battle Tendency succeds in grabbing your interest. If after the first few episodes of BT you're still bored out of your mind, then you may drop it with no regrets.

Zeppeli*

That's interesting, beccause I think I'm pretty much of the opposite view. The OTT madness was intriguing, but everything became a storm once we got to that point.

By the way, did you watch it as it was airing?

Like Ckan, that's pretty much the contrary to me: Zeppeli's appearance and the introducton of Hamon (OBAA-MOTHERFUCKING-DRAIBU) pretty much multiplied my enjoyment tenfold. But then again, I was sold the very moment Dio dramatically knee'd Johnatan's dog in the muzzle.

Kars was a good villain, but doesn't hold the awesome despicableness of I DIO!

Kars has a certain respect for nature, a soft side to him. He simply wants to be God and live in his own eden that already exists.

DIO on the other hand is antagonistic as fuck, he's evil and he's enjoying it. He simply wants power,to rule and manipulate others, he wants everything because he has had nothing his entire life. He's the the kind of villain you love to hate, Kars is below him on that front.

Speaking of Jojo I think part 1 is underrated. It was my favourite part so far. Its the most tragic and has that dracula vibe. But most importantly the love-hate relationship between Dio and Jojo. I guess its just because my best friend is my twin brother but I could really relate to them. I dont think I ever cried as much as when watching episode 9.

This is also one of the reasons I dislike FMA:B so much. The two brothers just felt really "fake" to me. Together with the "comedy" in most inapropriate places.
