So after my October break I finally sat down and finished the third season to Dragon Ball. I hate to say it, but these episodes were quite bad. It wasn't bad enough that the first five were nothing but filler, but there is so much filler in the tournament arc that it isn't funny. Okay, the first few episodes of filler were somewhat enjoyable, especially the one where Goku had to go to the Demon World to save the princess, but the one after it with Tenshinhan, Chaozu and this purple pig is one of the worst DB episodes ever. At least, it was until I watched the last episode of the season, which turned this nobody fighter Goku beats in three hits into an entire episode of pointless filler. Not only that, but what kind of tournament does a match, ends for the night, does two more matches, then ends for another night? This is ridiculously dragged on to the point of boredom.

Watching Another right now. It's getting more and more interesting.

Isn't that the anime where a guy stabs himself in the throat in front of all his students as they just sit there, mental health damaged and pants insanely darkened?

Spoiler warning:
Class 3(the class you saw) has a curse where the students could die, at anytime, of an unconventional death (ala a Final Destination type death). Anyone related to these students (even the teachers or teacher's assistant) can die too but rarely with family (the chances of a family member dying go up if they find out about the secret of class 3. Also anyone related to the student that has three or more degrees of separation from them, like a distant relative, is safe.) The class also has a "charm" where someone is chosen to "not exist" (in this case, a girl in the class was chosen. But since no one told our main character about the whole thing, the class had to ignore him too because he acknowledged she existed, which added pressure to everyone. Especially the teacher)and when done the chances of any student dying go down (it has a 50%chance of working). The teacher who stabbed himself was under a lot of pressure because a few students (and two people who were related to the students) have died and also the pressure of taking care of his sick mother (which he murdered too). Thus all of this lead to him committing suicide in front of the students.

Unless the violent gore and death is being inflicted on creatures that are decidedly NOT human (like, say, all the gruesome vampire deaths in Shiki) I have no interest in watching it.

Torturing and killing sentient non-human creatures is justifiable because the audience is human and should sympathize with the human races in Elder Scrolls VI: The Bretons, Imperials and Nords All Decide to Kill the Non-Human Races Because Fantasy Creatures Shouldn't Exist.

Also, if that's the case, why isn't Class 3 abolished just to fuck with the curse and the gap between Class 2 and Class 4 is ignored like it is for Japanese/American buildings missing a 4th Floor/13th Floor? Because reasons?

Finished Another just now. All I'm going to say is that there's a lot of deaths and a whole lot of blood but the ending was nice.

I just watched a scene from Panty and Stockings. That is all.
