haha.... i suppose that works.

I voted for every Clannad character, except Nagisa :p...

Konata and Kanzaki, and any other character I knew....

then I just noticed Kotomi was put together with Ushio. :nervous: Time just stopped for a moment in my life..... Nah I picked Ushio, she's too adorable.
 
Naratou is one of the most annoying characters in all of anime. The only reason anyone watches that show is for Sakura and the other chicks.
 
I keep watching Naruto because it's a habit and doesn't take much time (although getting caught up initially was a huge investment...)

As it goes on (and on and on...) I feel like we don't get enough of a balance of screen time for all the different characters, so the relationships are becoming rather shallow and overly dependent on events now in the distant past. I guess that's natural since they've introduced so many characters over the years. And the pacing has never been great, too many episodes where almost nothing happens, or single battles stretched out over multiple episodes.

But overall Naruto has been pretty good, and still has some great moments. It's one of the dangers of starting an anime based on an ongoing manga, but I wish the whole series to date could have been compressed into 100-150 episodes.

Oh, and I definitely don't watch Naruto just for Sakura and the other female characters. I was always happy to see the dynamics between Shikamaru and Choji, the dog-guy Kiba and the bug-guy Shino, the pervy-sage Jiraya checking out the ladies at the hot springs, Kakashi staying cool but obsessing over Jiraya's dirty books, Guy-sensei and fuzzy eyebrows, etc., etc. There were a whole cast of characters that were fun to watch. Hardly ever see most of them any more...

And anyone else think that all the female characters have some essential weakness written into them? What's up with that?

I was when I first watched it years ago on TV (oh cool! NINJAs that's So badass!). but it got boring and the pacing was SOOOO slow... so I stopped.
 
Anyone up to date with Bleach? I'm going to drop it if tomorrows episode is a filler, as the series as a whole is just poor now anyway tbh.
 
Bleach is moving very slowly. They need hour long episodes instead of half an hour. I mean, the battle between Nell and #5 has been going for an hour and a half now. It should be ending next episode though. However, the next season is a prequel season. That's another thing that drives me nuts about Bleach. They have a season for the main story, stop it to do another story, start again for a season, then take a brake for another story...DUDES, just tell us the main story! You can get to the other crap later.

After the back-story season, there's more main story, then there's the "Alternate" season...yeah, it's kinda annoying.
 
Pretty sure it's going to be fillers for a while. That's another series which has lost the balance of character appearances and relationships. Also another anime following an ongoing manga which requires frequent breaks from the main storyline.
 
mainstream animes will forever be fillers... All this filler action talk just reminds me of dragon ball z where goku spends one and a half episodes shouting, then 3 episodes later his hair grows longer, his facial structure mutates and suddenly he magically levels up to SS3
 
Got to admit though, it was pretty ****ing epic when he finally transformed and it jumped to every character to see their facial expressions.

She has a weakness...its Chuck Norris or Tachikoma

Except she uses the Tachikomas as tools and shields. It was only in Solid State Society that she thought of them as members of the team.

And...Chuck Norris vs. a virtually indestructible cyborg woman. Yeah. I think the Major would kick Mr. Karate into next week.

I gots to :rolleyes: at that. Sorry. But seeing isn't always believing.

Queen's Blade does have some great art, but that's about it. I finished off the first episode on Netflix and it was pretty freakin' awful. The dubbed voices are worse than the original Japanese, which is impressive 'cause the Japanese wasn't all that great. The story is a little thin, too. But, watching Queen's Blade for the story or acting is like watching Baywatch for the story. But...I have to admit, La Blue Girl had a better story.
