OMG Dat Hair!
!
It's also pretty impressive how much awesome there is in every single episode. Gotta love this show.
The only criticism I have is that it seems the main character will be the one to beat all the villains in the end.
Joseph is awesome and stuff but, I don't know, I'm not that okay with this idea.
Can't wait for the new season, but I'm kinda foggy about what happened in the last few eps of season 5. Don't remember much. Need to go back and check them! XD
Also, just had to say that the season 3 finale was one of the best season finales of anything ever.
And, you guys remember that kid who was a neighbor of the Drapers early on? He kinda developped a "relation" with Betty and stuff.
I never figured him out, or his character in general. And I must say he scares me quite a bit. He's a Hannibal Lector in the making the way I see it.
Anyone really got what the writers were trying to do with him? Cause I sure haven't.
! Tommy is the most awesomely disgusting person ever. God I love him.
And that last page was glorious.
Oh.
Didn't know that.
Guess I'll research this "manzai" thing a bit…thx for the info.
The one thing I am pretty sick of in manga/anime, particularely in shonen manga, is how everyone has to explain every single thing that happens.
They can't just leave things for the viewer to figure out, or simply use visual language or whatever.
One example would be the latest chapter of the Rock Lee spin-off of Naruto.

I just want to murder the bloody turtle, or simply yell at it "Yeah, I've got eyes, I can see that. Just shut up."
One Piece itself is quite guilty of this as well.
I only noticed it recently, but a big percentage of OP's "humour" is someone doing something, and someone else explaining the joke with a yell and an angry face.
Now I only used examples of humour in mangas to illustrate my point, but the idea of how things are overexplained can be generalized to everything else.
Shonen mangakas have absolutely no idea what "show don't tell" even means.
Or maybe they're so scared that people won't get what they're getting at, they just have to explain it.
That's pretty insulting to the audience in a way, when you think about it.
However, the biggest criminal in this departement is hunter x hunter. And this is one reason why I can't stand that manga.
But everyone seems to love it here so I'll just say nothing. Don't wanna end up sounding like an ass.
Now this is a tough one.
After a bit of thinking, I think it'd go something like this for me:
(btw, I make very little difference between best and fav in my mind. "Little", not "none at all" XD)
1. Apocalypse Now
2. Godfather 1 or 2 (can't decide between De Niro and Brando, sorry!)
3. Mulholland Drive
4. Drive
5. Pulp Fiction
6. Full Metal Jacket
7. Beauty and the Beast (Disney movie)
8. Casino Royale
9. Pirate of the Carribean 1
10. Ocean's 11
@The:
IX adds drama, epicness, and an amazing world to that. If only the game wasn't so fucking easy it would be perfect…I can't remember any boss that gave me trouble, save Ozma
I personally always thought Kraken was quite tricky.
I never found any weak point, "trick", or any such thing with him.
He just counters everything you throw at him, and you can consider yourself lucky if he doesn't hit you with wateraga at every turn.
But otherwise I agree, outside one or two moments (like the fire dragons in the mine thing kinda place), the player just cruises through the game.
Speaking of FF soundtracks, as much as I don't care about FF 8, one has to admit this track is quite sweet:
what is so bad about part 1? I never understood this.
Me neither.
I never read the manga, but I greatly enjoyed episodes 1 through 9.
Episode 3 in particular was a huge amount of fun, and Dio was a fantastic/incredibly fun villain/character.
Anyway, up to episode 19: Joseph is an ass to kittens, while Cars saves puppies from being run over by drunk drivers…who was the villain again? XP
I know it's the "in" thing to call shitty things "Twilight-like" these days, and it's too easy an attack in this day and age towards anything, but I have no other words to describe current Bleach but calling it Twilight in manga form.
All these rubbish, pseudo-deep, pseudo-symbolic pieces of dialogue Kubo's been doing since somewhere in the last couple of hundred chapters are really cring-worthy.
Not even angsty/emo teenagers would find any interest in reading them. Completely laughable.
The worst part is that I can totally picture Kubo thinking he's a "mature shonen" writer, not realizing what a joke the stuff he makes is.
As for Naruto: screw you guys. I don't care what you say, this chapter was quite entertaining.
Hashirama is a pretty great character, and I enjoyed his and Madara's facial expressions when they were fighting.
