Bleach seems like exactly the kind of thing I'd love but I'm so late I don't think I'd ever be able to get through all of it.

Bleach is actually pretty solid right up until they actually enter the Soul Society, after which Tite Kubo spends the next several years circling the drain.

It'll make you want to just go rewatch YYH instead to see a show about ghost punchmans done right. If you're looking for a shonen, you like YYH, and you haven't watched Hunter x Hunter, do that instead.

The problem with Bleach is I don't remember enjoying any of it. Like, with DBZ I have fond memories of pretty much everything save mid way through Buu and early Android, Naruto I remember really liking the series before the Chunin Exam, and pretty much all of One Piece was fun except for maybe a little bit of Alabasta because I just got bored of looking at Crocodile's mug. I remember being bored of the first arc of Bleach and just hating Soul Society to the point that I gave up before they even got to the tower.

If you want a really, really shameless poor man's YYH clone/knockoff you should watch Flame of Recca.

I used VHS fansubs of Flame of Recca as a stand for my TV for a number of years is all I can really say about the quality of that show.

Ive been watching a ton of really really well animated anime films, so far Ive seen: the berserk movies the evangelion rebuild movies most of the ghibli movies redline sword of the stranger ghost in the shell akira is there anything else along these lines I might enjoy? Don't really care what its about, as long as it looks nice.

Including Berserk in that list is a really weird choice. If that's your baseline, uh, just pick out any feature-length anime film and you're good to go. Serious answer: watch Mind Game and Dead Leaves.

Garden of Words is probably the best animated anything that I've ever seen. If you want some actual good movies though, how about the last three Mamoru Hosoda films? I would not call them breathtakingly animated but they're better than the loving Berserk movies at least.

anything by mamoru hosoda looks really nice and is good makoto shinkai films look fantastic but have 0 depth outside of that madoka rebellion looks fantastic, but its the third part in a trilogy (or a follow up to a series, your choice) mind game everything by satoshi kon (rip)

The Berserk movies look pretty good when they don't look like horrid CGI crap.

Mentally replace him with Goku whenever he comes on screen and imagine everyone is just calling him Gon because they have speech impediments that make it difficult for them to say Goku.

In all seriousness though if your only hang up is Gon's design, watch it anyway. I began watching it on a lark and ended up burning through the whole thing in like a month. It's good. Better than Bleach ever was, and certainly a better use of your time with what it's become now.

So I've been hate watching The Twelve Kingdoms recently. Almost done with it. It's so loving good, I really enjoy the heck out of it, but holy poo poo the establishing arcs of most characters make them the literal worst or whiniest motherfuckers in the world and its painful to watch just how goddamned stupid and asinine and petty and misinformed they can be. But even that establishes character and growth and backstory and worldbuilding. It's so good, but I fuckin swear to god it pisses me off watching these utter shitscrapes exist. Sometimes they grow into decent human beings and it's wonderful, and sometimes they fall in with other lovely fuckers and they become even more horrible human beings. There's a depth to the world and the show itself that I find very appealing. It's fantastic.

Just finished Legend of the Galactic Heroes and must say "Thanks again, ADTRW" ...this comes years after having watched School Days to figure out what all the nega-hype was about.  You bastards. That series inspired me to invent the solo drinking game "Every time the episode sucks, get hammered (name subject to change)"A game where nobody wins.

What's a very sincere, probably-shonen series with good banter between the main characters and a simple premise? Basically I want more Ushio and Tora and I've already seen the old OVAs and as much of the new series as has currently aired, what's something similar to that?

He freaks out trying to explain that this teacher he saw her talking with might be possessed, imagining all these terrible scenarios where she's crushing on the teacher and disregards his warnings or tells him off, and then when it actually comes up in conversation she's like "no, I know, what are we going to do about it?" It strikes this perfect balance between being full of cliches and avoiding the ones that are actually bad. Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Jul 20, 2015 |

The last third or so isn't as good as the earlier stuff, but it was still solid (though I might be a bit biased since I was able to binge read the first three quarters or so of it).
