Partly. I also love her cause.. well, she's awesome!

That's fair enough. And I do occasionally watch anime, having watched Tiger and Bunny, and checking out Digimon Xros Wars, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, and Clannad, while also having gone back and re-watching GaoGaiGar (And FINAL).

But it was just disheartening. Seeing that not only is it common these days, but generally accepted as supplanting story, plot, and interest for mindless fanservice.
I didn't want to associate myself with being an anime fan if the general practice is "Shower scenes and beach episodes are more important than plot."
(I loathe fanservice)

*Raises hand* Bleach has little fanservice. Only that one beach episode was all fan service, everything else isn't. (And yes I'm ignoring Miss Big Boobs.. Both of them)

I don't shun that kind of fanservice, though it can be needless and excessive sometimes. I enjoy the referential type of fanservice more. For instance, in the most recent episode of Hayate no Gotoku, a fluffy green bird suit was used and it was labeled "TaJaDol Combo" and that was horribly amusing.

Fair enough.
I actually watched Bleach for some time. I think I stopped when Aizen kept bullshitting his way through.

The problem is just that. When "Fanservice" pretty much become commonly refers to the more sexual variety than general shout outs and fan nods, it's clear how I have an issue with it. I do try to tolerate it (I'm not just shutting off an anime because someone shows up in a bikini), but it just seems to occur at every turn in every episode to the point that I'm just not enjoying what I'm seeing.

So Valvrave episode 4…

The series isn't off to a bad start by any means, but they sure give a lot of focus on the bits involving the high school students that I sometimes forget that I'm watching a mecha anime.

The series isn't bad by any means, they've set up a lot of interesting ideas and plot elements and I'm eagerly awaiting to see what the payoff is…it's just that it seems to be incredibly slowly paced.

Eh it's not a terrible series, so I'm probably going to keep following it.

You know a while back when I said that you should never watch before going to bed? Well I was wrong... The show you should never watch before going to bed is Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni.

Yup. According to the bump tonight on Toonami they're starting One Piece... 200 episodes in.

Because CN hasn't pissed me off enough. (Canceled Green Lantern, and Young Justice. Show stupid kiddish Teen Titans Go! in it's place)

Honestly, starting One Piece over AGAIN would be the dumbest decision they could ever do. No one would want to tune in for the Buggy arc with different voices for a 4th time.
One Piece is turning into the biggest time sink for English anime these days...

Oh, and give Teen Titans Go a chance. It's rather enjoyable.

No. I hated it when it came on DC Shorts, I'm not sitting through it for a full half hour. The only DC Short I want made into a show is that anime Chinese Batman one. That was epic.

*Raises hand* I'd watch it from the start :lol
