| These are the minor things that goes on in the series that you actually have to pay attention to the show to understand it. Why it's there and what is the story behind it? Code Geass (for example) I have yet to see or hear about who is Suzaku's mom. They don't even mention her and give a short flashback. Did she die, went missing, or is alive somewhere? Where Suzaku live when he comes home from school and military duties? Does he room with Lloyd or someone else? Before C.C was given the geass, how did the nun gain geass? They don't even mention on who are some of the mothers of the other princes and princess in the Britannian Imperial Family. Would anyone consider Lelouch bi-racial (half French/half Britannia)? I mean come on his mother's last name is legit French and then the father's is well Britannian. Marianne has possibly named him Lelouch. I mean you don't get anymore unique than that. Why did Charles have so many wives and children when he doesn't even care? Has he ever consider about tending to his family than his duties as the emperor. Gintama (another example) Did they mention in the manga at least who Gintoki's parents was? I pretty sure they didn't in the series. Gintoki was found surrounded by bodies and all he had was one sword with him. Something had must happen before all of that but what? I wish we knew about more about his past when he went to school and on his teacher. These are just some of the examples that I've thought of. I became really curious with these and you'll become curious with the ones you listed. |

| Gintoki. Geass. Can't be bothered to go through the rest of the Geass stuff, it's a piece of anime, not a piece of Shakespearian literature, expect plot holes and loose ends. |
fuck everything and rumble |

I just wish they at least mention a little something on geass other than that is it the "power of the kings". If it's like that for the nun then....yeah my curiosity just reached it's peak. I love Gintama with a passion but that is just one of those anime shows that beat-around-the-bush. During it's serious moments, it's not straightforward. |

miereneronaile said: Nothing about Angel Beats! really bothered/did not make sense to me, and its my favorite anime so.. Didn't you notice how the NPCs were never elaborated on? It isn't even given the explanation on whether they used to be human or not, for example. |

miereneronaile said: Loose ends are not necessarily something you want filled anyway. If they spent time on most of those things it would just take away from something else. Nothing about Angel Beats! really bothered/did not make sense to me, and its my favorite anime so.. Yeah...I just gotten really curious about who the hell Suzaku's mother might be. That annoyed me though how she isn't mention even a little. A friend told me that his mother is mention in some part of the manga (Lelouch of the Rebellion). |

They did have flashback for some of the characters though, if I recall. I assume they are not, though they could be. Like I said before, I do not really want everything explained. Especially in a show like Angel Beats! which really did have no spare time. You don't have to know every detail in a way. Just let me watch the show is what you're saying in a sense. I tend to notice the small and large of an anime series. I did do one of your numbers though when it to a certain show. I'm too lazy to mention it. |

| There's always something, if you honestly can't find anything to pick at in your favourites, then you're a fanboy. The Terraists always annoyed me in LoGH, how they were responsible for all these huge, terrible happenings, but hardly got any screentime and were thus relegated to serve as some sketchy one dimensional plot device badguys. If it had been any other anime it wouldn't matter so much, but in something as exquisite as LoGH where everything is morally ambiguous and explored from different sides, it's a pretty annoying thing. Some of the other loose threads though, like whether or not a certain someone poisoned a certain someone else, or what happened with a certain snotty brat that apparently didn't die after all, were just fine being left open, it would have felt silly to force an explanation of everything when, after all, die Sage ist vorüber and die Historie beginnt. |
miereneronaile said: Well, if you're critical minded enough you'd probably spot them right away. If not, you obviously don't have to, unless you want to prove that you're not a fanboy for some reason. I've heard plenty of complaints about Angel Beats though, so I'm sure there's enough to choose from.Why would I actively go and try to find problems with my favorite anime. I am sure I could if I wanted to, but... why? If I do not notice anything major on my first watch then ye.. not gonna look for more. |

miereneronaile said: Well, plot holes and flawed writing aren't personal issues though, they exist even if people are willing to ignore them. Of course, I dropped it too early so I can't really state any particular examples.Those complaints are all personal issues /shrug. I can point out a lot of things in Angel Beats! people COULD take issue with. Those things just dont matter to me. As for being critical minded, I just need a LOT to impact my suspension of disbelief. Otherwise, I stay totally engrossed in things I am enjoying. |

I often find people calling things plot holes when I felt they were sufficiently explained. Flawed writing is quite a bit harder to disagree with, but sometimes I feel that less advanced writing suits a story better than some high literature level would, so.. Shinobu-Donuts said: Madoka Magica Well, true. But it still bugs me that she'd just show up in the city without any real reason or motivation, too. I guess that's a fair enough argument, though. |
| Dont touch me I'm in despair. |
| Also this looks like it's turning into another plothole thread. |
| I'll just keep my mouth shut...because One Piece is full of things that don't make sense XD |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

rukif said: Not necessarily my favourite, but still bugs me from time to time Bleach That is the same thing most people are confused on. Its true though because they just went poof. Something bleach fans use to talk about and I'm not sure as if they still do, but would we ever get to know who the Spirit King is and his family. |
| And Zero said "Let there be rebellion for the power of the geass is hidden within all of you". |
| NGE. they never explained the true motive why Angels attacked the earth or who sent them, who made them, they don't even have a personality, why did they attack one after another, why there were only small number of them... boring anime overall. it's not my fav anime but I just wanted to say that. |

| In some anime the have characters that are supposed to be actually half human half animal girls but they have both animal and human ears, in other words they four ears.If its a human pretending to be a cat girl then it would make sense. But if she is actually a cat girl, dog girl, fox girl or some other half animal half human girl then it makes no sense why she would have have four ears on her head.They should only have one set of ears.Those ears should look completely human, completely animal or something that is a looks like a cross between human and animal ears. The tails on Lala,Nana and Momo from To Love-Ru.Instead of the tail coming out where the tailbone is on the pelvis it comes out in the lumbar area of the spinal column. Does the the tail come out on the lumbar area of the spinal column of any other animal?As far as I know it doesn't. |

And L did actually say that the person who would test the 13 day rule is a person who was scheduled to be executed. So they were going to carry through with that plan, until something tragic happened of course. |
| Yes, one thing in Now and Then, Here and There. For the most part it didn't have many loose ends and maybe this was shown and I just missed it. But what the fuck happened to Tabool at the end? Seriously, he gets into the shootout with Shu and after that I never saw him again? Did he drown or something? |

So they were going to carry through with that plan, until something tragic happened of course. Actually, they were in a ICPO meeting, but L asked specifically for the help of the Japanese Police, so technically they agreed with it. But, anyway, yes, L was going to test the 13 days rule, but why didn't the team continue with plan even without L? If it was because they didn't want to "waste" someone's life(someone who already was going to be executed), then it doesn't make sense. |
