It's not that I hate anime; it's just my mind and memory doesn't work well with some of it. Some would probably expect me to remember the storyline or the names of most characters, but I feel I can't even do that right. My mind is often complicated, Sorry to say. D:

You might prefer shorter stories, I'd guess.

There are a lot of good anime with just 25 episodes. Short but good, you see.

(Kid Icarus: Uprising is still epic for sure.)

Yeah, KIU is epic.

I think some anime are epic too. =P

And you can't tell me that you can remember KIU's story, but can't remember anime stories!!! (I'm partially joking... But you gotta admit that I have a point.)

Manga is still better, though. I prefer manga to anime overall, actually.

Quite the predicament we got here with the whole moon speak without the moon runes thing.

 

[Saikyoshi]

There's a reason anime filler exists. Not a fortunate reason, but a reason.

A regulation in Japanese media laws means that if a show doesn't have new episodes at the ready on demand, that show could lose its time slot.

At the same time, though, if they're adapting a manga that's still being written, there's a danger of overtaking it if they go too fast and running out of material to work with (which is why the Garlic Jr. and Otherworld Tournament arcs exist).

So, it's a reliable way to make sure the show can keep airing, but in exchange, it leaves an ugly scar.

Which is why I like what Attack on Titan did. They ended the show with a prospect for a second season.

The anime adaptation still has a bit of fillers here and there, but they don't detract too much from the main story.

Its even worse if your manga is done monthly instead of weekly, since shows not only slow down to a crawl story-wise, but also later on have to just make stuff up on the fly and become completely new stories, like how the original FMA and Hellsing shows just did theyr own thing after a while, so later on they have to make the same show over again, this time accurate to the manga. Admittedly, it was pretty funny watching Hellsing Ultimate and seeing the entirety of the first show in a single episode

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

DBZ MULTIVERSE IS THE BEST FANSERVICE @ Kenith
And yeah Frosty I feel the same way, I just happen to prefer manga because watching anime takes too much time. Most of the time the manga is a bit more fleshed out also, there are some cases where I have to watch the anime however, like Madoka or Gintama.

Pretty much. It's kind of a dumb law of sorts. If you want to get into Dragon Ball Z, you're better off watching DBZ Kai, it cuts nearly all of the filler making the show half as long. And the English voice actors are more experienced this time around, making their performances all the better. This is coming from a fan of the original, Kai is a better package.

Honestly, people kind of over-exaggerate the filler in Dragon Ball Z. Not to say it isn't an issue. There's actually worse offenders when it comes to this kind of thing, namely Naruto, Bleach and One Piece. Seriously, Naruto had like 200 episodes of filler between part 1 and part 2.

But in the end of the day, if you like something, that's cool, just don't be a jerk about it.

 

[ColietheGoalie]

I personally prefer a really strong 26 episode anime to a drawn-out one full of filler.
Same thing with TV series, 5 seasons of something I love beats 10 seasons of something that slowly becomes mediocre.

That probably is the case, but I can be real picky. Trying to process and comprehend all the stuff happening right away is something I can't do, especially if there's too much at once, Anxiety if you will.

Easily is. <3

It's complicated, but maybe there's a chance I might be able to remember much of KI:U for seeing it often as well as it interesting me. I can't describe much else though.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my cute little **** post, I actually was confused but yeah I can see it being review copies and triangles with eyeballs on them.
Have a good day.

This. Being a huge fan of the original series, I can honestly say the only thing I would retain from Funimation's initial dub is the great soundtrack. The story, script, and general flow of the episodes are so much better in Kai, it is *ahem* NOT EVEN COMPARABLE.

Of course, Dragon Ball Z Kai still has slow moments, but that comes down to taste.

 

[Knuckles the Knuckles]

Dont mind me, just supplying the daily dose of Knuckles.

Try reading/watching HxH. Hiatuses are destroying interest and continuity
One arc took like 2-3 years to finish, when it could've spanned six months.
Don't even get me started on D-Gray Man, I pretend it ended.
. Don't kill me @Sapphire Dragon pls.

Dont chuckle.

Don't forget to take your complimentary Knuckles via @ Knuckles the Knuckles or @CliffJumper on the way out!

 

[Knuckles the Knuckles]

Oh my God yea, the "Year of filler" between Naruto and Shippuuden when nothing happens. It was the wooorst.

 

[Space Stranger]

But really, ya'l mother****ers dont know crap about filler if you havent seen Inuyasha.

Hey, I'd be lying if I said I remember the plots of all anime and manga I've watched/read.

I usually only have the general gist of the stories and some more important or impactful moments memorized.

If you're following a series, it's good to sometimes re-watch or reread previous episodes/chapters. Or at least read a synopsis, so you don't forget some important plot details.

Of course, I remember the series I liked best. That goes for pretty much everyone, I'd say.

 

[Knight Dude]

It was like eating a bowl of nails. I mean ****, man, they couldn't even focus on a cool guy like Kakashi training Naruto or some **** like that.

Anyone else watched Yu Yu Hakusho? That's another one of my favorites. Come to think of it, it had a lot less filler than some of the other big series.

And outside of "animu", I'm still trying to find another good action series to get into. Ultimate Spider-Man only has a couple really good episodes, but it tries to hard to be funny if you ask me. Korra is a cool show though.

I don't remember any filler for Yu Yu Hakusho, but I suppose thats a good thing. I remember when I was younger I had the biggest crush on Botan XD
I miss Spectacular Spider-Man sooo much

It's the best if a series doesn't have rigidly structured story-line at all. Anyone who has watched a Slice-of-Life comedy can attest.

Maybe one day I'll find something I like. It certainly isn't generic OP'd characters though.

B-but I like series with deeper storylines...

And I'm actually following a slice-of-life series now: Shokugeki no Soma.

The other series I'm following:
- Attack on Titan
- Blue Exorcist
- Fairy Tail (considered dropping this one before, but I've gotten too far to do that )
- Magi
- Assassination Classroom

All of them are manga, by the way.

Good choices.
I dropped Fairy Tail, it's just a bit meh.
I would be catching up on Magi but DBZ Multiverse is 2 good
Have you tried Toriko?

Toriko... That sounds familiar, but no, I haven't tried it.

Might be doing some research on it to see if I get interested.

 

[FalKoopa]

I've stopped reading manga except for Pokémon Adventures. I just watch anime. Once I'm done with Higurashi, I'll move to completing Angel Beats and Little Busters.

I remember dropping Fairy Tail a few episodes in. It just didn't catch my imagination enough.

I like Attack on Titan too. Pretty good series and it hasn't gotten too much filler so far. But I can't get into Fairy Tail too much. None of the characters are likable to me.

I've only read PKMN Adventures and PMMM: The Different Story. I don't really watch Anime that often, and I normally only watch upon recommendation.

 

[Knight Dude]

So the guys who were behind the 90's Spider-Man series are making a new project. I think it's called the Rocket Men or something along those lines. Hopefully it'll be good.

How about making that final episode first

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

Just started watching Attack on Titan. The feels man.

 

[Frostwraith]

Yeah, it was pretty good. I liked it!

You're in for a ride. It only gets better as the story progresses.

Don't forget to check out the manga after you finish watching the anime if you want to keep up with the story.

 

[Knight Dude]

It kind of got resolved, kind of. Ever see the beginning of Spider-Man Unlimited? We see that Peter was living with Mary-Jane before he went into the second Earth. I'm pretty sure that Unlimited was a direct sequel, so he did find her.

Still if there's one series I'd stab a guy to get un-cancelled, it's Spectacular Spider-Man. Or even Young Justice.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Someone once recommended the Desert Punk anime to me. It's only 24 episodes so I assume it may still be deep but one that really gets straight down to it's points.

Has anyone else seen it?
