[ranger]

well if you want us to recommend a show other than a 100+ episode monstrosity like the big 3, you could say what shows you like and we could recommend things of of that.

Jeez Akonyl, you should know me enough so that you don't even have to ask

pssh, as if I'd know/remember/care.

you deserve no less.

-_- nani, why do I deserve such cruelty?

Crap! I typed something wrong. I meant day!! I thought you were way over at your thread. Don't come here and pick on me!

Sorry Kleene!!!!

Haha Don't worry! I also made a typo once and with that I said that Abs. is bald XD (wrote baldy instead of badly)


@ranger: So, can you tell me now? ;p

And since you like Hellsing, maybe you'd find a liking to Devil May Cry anime? It's not perfect but it's still fun to watch.

Sure I might as well since you asked so nicely Ichigoo Kurosakiiii

Hmm I'm not a big fan of Devil May Cry (played some of the video games) so I might skip out on it, but thanks
actually one of my good friends recommended a bunch of animes like, Phantom Requiem and Rainbow, plus I feel like I should startup FMA Brotherhood and give it one more chance.

about Rainbow, it's a decent show but it seems to think too much of itself. Basically, whenever something dramatic happens, they make sure to do a dramatic freeze-frame and then have the narrator basically specifically tell you why it's dramatic.

is that part of the elitist Noitamina stuff? I tried watching one of those shows, it was like a horrible indy film or something.

kinda like "ill take a potato chip...AND EAT IT" throughout the show?

I'm unfamiliar with Noitamina stuff, so I can't really be sure, but it very well may be.

kinda like "ill take a potato chip...AND EAT IT" throughout the show?

nah, it's worse than that. If that scene was in Rainbow, it would go something like this:

Light: I take a potato chip... AND EAT IT!
*screen flashes, freeze frames on Light biting the chip, with various effects used to make the screen look pretty*
Narrator: As Light bit the potato chip, he celebrated his plan, the plan that would help him in his fight against the snake, L. With this chip, he was one step closer to realizing his dream of a better world.

edit: also, just as an example of what I mean:

So basically there's quite no room for imagination and self interpretation... I was actually considering watching Rainbow...

I wouldn't say that alone makes it a bad show. It's just hard to get attached to the characters, because the show effectively tells you how to feel.

Question: Bleach filler arcs - worth watching?  The Bount Arc doesn't seem too interesting...if I skipped it would I be really confused..it seems like a rather long anime original arc, like 40 hyping episodes..

I skipped the whole Capt. Amagai Arc... I watched the Bount Arc when it was aired via local TV programming... I didn't bother rewatching it though when I was rewatching Bleach in Eng Subs.. I also watched the 1st Zanpakutou Filler Arc then dropped the second Zanpakutou Filler Arc..

To be honest, you'll be more confused if you would watch these fillers. It kinda destroyed the momentum on my part... I don't think you would miss a lot if you'll skip the filler arcs...

Can someone recommend me a short but sweet anime that I can finish in 14 days?  lol

Regarding genre, it can really be anything, just don't give me some ecchi or some super girly romantic BS.

Shows I have already watched are Monster, YYH, DN, Bleach, Hellsing Ultimate, DC(duh) - not a whole lot but yeah..
