Now that One Piece is back from filler crap I watched the last few episodes, and episode 13 of Robotics;Note, JoJo's and HunterXHunter. Feels good to be all caught up with the weeklies.

That annoys me with alot of his work. One Peice, Bleach. Massive filler between story arcs, and even during them.

All Shonen Jump animes seem to have this problem because Shonen Jump wants to capitalize on them while the manga is still ongoing. There's a need for filler, but no one wants filler. There's a number of ways to do filler and none of them are particularly good. Weather it's DBZ's nothing's happening filler, Naruto's 3 years of pointless filler, or Bleach's interrupting the middle of a fight for 20 episodes filler, no one is happy with it.

I'm just happy Bleach seems to be going the Inuyasha route where the show ends before the manga and leaving open for a finale anime (with little/no filler) once the manga is done.

Honestly, I just hope Bleach and Naruto have Kai versions already planned for after the mangas are over. DBZ Kai made DBZ watchable again.

Speaking of, since I have access to Crunchyroll between classes this semester, I've picked Bleach back up once I realized I only had 70ish episodes left (some of which is filler I'll be skipping).

Finished Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid. After 2 disappointing seasons, it was great to see everything come together for the third. Great development of the old characters, great new characters, great plot and sharper visuals. The only thing letting it down was how many loose ends there were.

Since Blade Raider told me it was great, he has permission to say "I told you so" :lol

Weekly-wise I'm still keeping up with Robotics;Notes (which is fantastic), and Tamako Market is off to a good start. No idea why I'm watching Vividred Operation though, because the first two episodes were abysmal.

I know it's needed, but I don't have to like it. That's why I have Naruto, Bleach, One Peice, all on DVD. I skip the filler. And no on the Kai idea. I don't want my anime butchered and censored thanks.

DBZ Kai was only censored for tv wasn't it? The dvd/blu-ray releases were uncensored.

They 4kids.tv'd it for television. But the DVD's weren't Kai. They were a straight-up release of every episode.

Eh? Kai was definitely released on DVD as a separate entity to the original DBZ boxsets.

They were? Meh. No thank you, I bought the originals because I hate when people censor my stuff.

I told you so :p

Don't feel bad, my brother got to do the same to me.

The DVDs have no censors on them. They are exactly what Japan got plus dub. Any changes made are mostly for the better. It's closer to the manga and cuts a ton of the BS out. Also, it corrected some errors like Vegata's colors.
