I have to agree with Koby. It seemed to lack the heart of the first series. It did so much less with more ultimately. Had it come first, maybe I would be singing a different tune, but I just couldn't even get into it the same way I got into the first one.

The comics are great. Really well done and worth a read. You will literally find yourself starting one and then realize you are 20 later and still reading because you keep wanting to know what happens next. Kirkman does a great job with it and the book is still going strong.

Trying to get opinions on it. I've heard some good reviews, but it is almost impossible to find and thus hard to find other people to play with. Last thing I want is to get stuck with a bunch of stuff that I have no one to share the experience with. I suppose I could just buy enough for two people and play that way.

]I would love to see a new season of GITS, BUT this is a fake. I saw this exact same picture preview last year for the spring season of 2010 of that preview. Someone just updated this to make look like a 2011 preview.

I am sure with the success of FMA Brotherhood, that at some point Berserk will get completely redone from start to finish. With Kentaro taking his sweet time to put out chapters, it wouldn't make much sense to start something with no end in sight. I honestly assume Kentaro will die well before he gets close to a real ending.
At least the golden age arc is covered in the movie and it is one of the stronger arcs, before it got more silly and a bit campy.

Anyone seen it yet? Is it any good?

I know at one time I found a list of the filler episodes for various shows, anyone seen anything like that for bleach? Maybe on a wiki somewhere? I'd love to actually pull all of the fillers out of my collection. I feel behind some point and am on 2xx something, but would love to skip all the fillers to 300+
PS. So many episodes
Daunting at best. -
I find, with any anime actually, that if I start watching it in Japanese to begin with then I usually find the dub cringe worthy. Whichever I associate with the character first is usually how I expect the character to sound.
I prefer the dubs overall, only so that I can take in the full essence of the picture and what is going on without missing so much by reading.
I do really think more times than not that the the japanese voices match the true intent.
The things that drive me nuts is when they try to simulate the differences between different japanese dialects and so in the english dub they use different english dialects (usually a southern country dialect or sometimes a california surfer type one). I get they are trying to make it like the source, but there has to be a better way to get that across.

I don't get how so many people say this. It was one of the shorter filler arcs, and much better placed. It was in-between two arcs rather than stuck in the middle of one arc like all the rest that butted into the canon story. Not only that, but the Bount arc was the only one actually worth watching. Heck it was better than pretty much the last one hundred episodes.
Valid points I suppose. I just felt that a lot of the episodes were very slow and yes it was not in the middle of an arc, but it happened at what I felt was such a pivotal point in the show and after a huge high. To that degree I felt entirely deflated by it. I also felt like it didn't add much of anything (though I suppose that is why they are called fillers) You are right though, in retrospect the ones in the middle of arcs are way worse!!!

A few come to mind most of them finished with endings alternate to the mangas that were not finished and generally things were left open or sucked.
Berserk, could had been so much more if it stuck to the manga, though I hear they are attempting to fix that.
GTO, sad it didn't continue on with the rest of what the manga covered.
12 Kingdoms just cause I wanted more.
I can think of a million others, but I'd rather not. It hurts too much.

How could you not love Armstrong, he is so ridiculously awesome.
-
I usually don't complain much about filler episodes, but I find the bleach ones (as much as I love the show) to be extremely bad. They are so often it feels like too. The bounto was the by far the worst I feel partially due to its length and when it happens in the main story.
-
Either Urahara or Kenpachi for sure. I couldn't get over how badass Kenpachi was the first time they showed him and loved the episode they devoted to his past when he first joined soul society.
-
That was the impression I was under, though it was just me taking a stab in the dark as to why that might be. I do think it is a part of the story I wish they would develop a tad more and give some hints to. I am interested to know.

Hello everyone,
I am glad to have found this place. Have heard good things about it. I've been an anime fan for over 20 years now and at one time was collecting almost any series that was released in the US on dvd. That hobby got expensive and hard to keep up with once anime in the US got really popular and series were coming out left and right from all of the different studios. I was really active at animeondvd for a long time until they soldout to Mania (which I can't stand).
I've now begun the process of collecting my series over again on bluray, as well as, catching some of the new stuff that is coming out. There was a couple of years there, after my son was born, that I didn't have much time or money and I sort of fell out of following what was up and coming and must have. So I do feel a bit like I have a gap to fill.
I like all genres really and have everything from berserk to kaliedo star to love hina, GTO, and azumanga daioh.
GTO is probably one of my favorites overall though, if I had to pick.
Now I am just trying to add all of my titles to my media server slowly so that my two boys can grow up loving anime as much as I did. I look forward to watching them all over again with them.

I'm glad I found this thread. I enjoy the dub cause I watch it with my kids and I thought for sure I would never see any more of it. Glad to know that funimation has been working on it. Pretty excited!
