You know they are gonna bring this to anime. They have a gently caress ton of chapters. Didn't they pause the anime right after the aizen fight/the winter war? They have quincy returning, ichigo getting new powers, this "war" on the ground in soul society, ichigo travels, going to super heaven. I haven't followed the anime in years but it ended after the xcution? so chapter 480. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Mar 10, 2016 |

The anime got canned due to low ratings didn't it? And I don't think Bleach's position in the rankings or its sales have increased too much since the Fullbring arc so I don't see it coming back.

The anime's problem wasn't with the episodes based on the manga, though, but with the poo poo fillers they needed. Once the story's finished, if it ever is, they can probably pack the last five years of Bleach into one season.

Which is mindblowing when you consider the amount of filler and lovely story that Naruto is constructing a fecal bridge with to get all the way to launching the burrito anime. I think Fairy Tail managed to come back from a break or something though? Maybe there's a precedent for pulling it off.

Fairy tail, I think, is working off the "new model" of making shows in seasons rather than a constant stream of poo poo peppered with gold nuggets that is the normal shounen anime adaptation.

You'd think, given how difficult it is to write a popular manga that then gets turned into an anime, that they've have a supply of ambitious authors who want to show off their chops. Instead filler arcs are just bland poo poo.

Yeah, the anime had a crushingly bad filler problem. The manga is so slow that even using every padding technique known to anime studios, they still ended up cramming easily a month's worth of chapters into a single episode so they caught up ridiculously quickly and needed to go into filler.

The full metal alchemist brotherhood was done crazy well. That's after they had another series before have to go into filler like a 3rd of the way in the story. How close brotherhood is to the manga is crazy but the manga was basically almost done at the time. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Mar 11, 2016 |

Well the big issue with FMA as I recall was that the artist had to take an extended hiatus for an illness. Things were staged out reasonably well for the first show and then they were suddenly forced to come up with a new ending that involved nazi germany (for some reason). Brotherhood by comparison started airing during the last three or four (monthly) issues. They mostly skipped over the material that had been covered in the original FMA anime, picked up where the plotline diverged and finished it true to form in a way that didn't need filler, which is why it was so damned good. AoT and Assassination Classroom are both doing fantastic with the "Make a season, take half a year off" model, and it honestly benefits the qualities of those shows immensely compared to the warmed over garbage that was Bleach or the stop motion craziness of One Piece or the whatever the gently caress this was from Naruto:

It was fine in Naruto vs Sasuke at the Valley of the End, but every time they went back to that style it got progressively worse and more exaggerated.

So, from what I got, his power is kind of like Bucharelli(?)'s from JoJo:Vento Aureo. Zippers and separations form a touch. But regarding range, "her" power is to "restructure anything she touches", so could it be possible that it has an effective range without needing to touch, and if you are touched, it's over? Alternatively, as long as an object is within range, it can restructure the entire form any way it likes?

Makes sense. The Chaos Emeralds are kinda like the Bullshit Eye Powers (tm), because they do whatever the plot demands.And did Sonic Unleashed came before or after Naruto got his furry mode? Now we just need to hope that the Adventures of Bort will involve a dark and brooding anti-Naruto with guns. Doresh fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Mar 11, 2016 |

Yeah, it still ranks pretty consistently in the "would get any other series cancelled" ratings in WSJ and has done for years. It apparently still sells enough in volumes that the editorial staff just say "gently caress it, let him finish" but I highly doubt it'll get an anime again.

I know I am contributing to a derail but I really don't like the first FMA anime. It got way too dark, the worst being what happened to Rose after the Liore riots compared to the manga, where she is completely fine rather than severely traumatized.

Likewise some of the early one off stuff that isn't relevant to later plots was removed. Nothing drastic at all, but they do get to spend a little more time on things like Nina and Edward's becoming a state alchemist that brotherhood glosses over. It'd be like removing a bunch of Ichigo's early hollow fights. You don't really miss much since normal hollows stop being an issue the moment soul society folks show up.

I am not familiar with Sho Aikawa's work but I'll take your word for it. Oh and I am not disparaging anyone who liked the 2003 FMA anime, I don't think it's badly written or anything, maybe a little too much filler, it just got the wrong tone. I liked to think FMA 2003 is alternate timeline where the Xingese characters never made it to Ametris and thus everything turned to poo poo.

I like that it makes the villains more human than the manga does, and gives some of them a more interesting origin. In general, it fits into shonen tropes less than the manga, and is more willing to admit that things are magic instead of technobabbling. 2003 does have a few weak points, though, like Archer coming back as a cyborg after losing a large chunk of his head, just to give Hawkeye something to do and the movie villain, Eckhart, who didn't pose much of a threat and had a contrived (though thematically appropriate) motivation.
