I can't really comment on Dragonball as it has been years since i saw any, I do just remember the guy screaming for 5 minutes and of course what the scouter said that one time.

Bleach's main storyline is hit and miss really. They shouldn't have had 2 big "save the princess" arcs, the first one was good but do people really want to see Orihime getting saved?, probably not.

Naruto is a bit of a funny one for me, i could never stand it before but it's really grown on me. I'd probably say that after the "we're gonna save Sasuke and live happily ever after" phase started to dull the plot actually got pretty interesting. Pain V Naruto has to be my favourite shonen anime/manga fight ever (Although the Bleach boss fight is in a couple of weeks, if it's well animated it may be that)

What owuld you say is the best Dragonball fight, i've talked myself into being interested. ^_^

There's too many to count.

In no particular order:

Goku V Purple
Goku V Vegeta
Super Saiyan 2 Goku V Majin Vegeta
Vegeta V no. 18
Goku V King Piccolo
Goku V Piccolo
Vegeta V Recoome
Nappa V Tien, Yamcha, Gohan, Krillen and Piccolo
Super Saiyan Goku V Frieza Final Form
SS Goku V Cell Final Form
Goku V Black
Goku V Tien
Goku V Drum
Vegito V Super Buu
Goku & Piccolo V Raditz
Goku V Nappa
Goku V Tao Pai Pai
Goku V Oolong

And that's just what's on the top of my head. :U

The number one would be Goku V Vegeta.

Epic beyond epic.

Not to say this show was all fighting, it had quite a bit of plot and the characters definitely changed and developed over the series. n_n

I checked out a couple and remembered why I stopped watching. Superficial reasons of art, character design and the painful English dub. I think if i was going to try this again it would be a manga venture, i finally got up to date with the Naruto today so i'll probably pick up another "battle manga" before long (Probably go for OP mind).

Tbh i don't think i'll see a better fight than Naruto V Pain (all 6 of him) in a long while.

Anyway, i think that's probably enough of this topic as next to no other people on this thread watch these shows. :L

So, you also think that Akira Toriyama's character design is hideous? That's probably the only thing we have in common, then.

Not liking Dragonball art is something you have in common with a lot of people, definitely including me. As for not a lot else, who knows. Anime wise "27 Shared Anime 78.3% compatibility"...but you seem to voice opinions louder than i do, you're probably right.

I don't think that anything under 40 shared series should be used as an indication of compatibility. What's in those 27? Probably the same shows everyone has already seen. On western Television. Someone who watches and finishes new and old series regularly probably wouldn't be very compatible with someone who finishes series sparsely and rewatches the same series over and over. Or maybe it's just me.

Chances are I have some anime on my MAL that nobody else has seen... partly because I actively search for those short, obscure romance shows xD

I checked out a couple and remembered why I stopped watching. Superficial reasons of art, character design and the painful English dub.
Same reason why I can't bear to watch the show.

Fractale has to be the strangest anime i've seen in ages, I'm still not sure if i'm enjoying it yet. Away from Fractale i really liked episode 4 of the loli Sherlock Holmes, the characters really are the selling point to this show. If the mysteries pick it could end up being pretty special.

Tantei Opera?

How's that? How worth watching is it?

Also, I think I've found my new watch-it-quickly upper anime.

Here's what I'm watching:

Watch-by-Night Creepy Anime: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai
"Normal" Anime: Madoka Magica
Watch It Slowly and Enjoy It Anime:
Angel Beats!

Actually i never even checked out that one, the Loli detective is Victorica de Blois of this seasons Bones anime Gosick.



And i'm surprised to see someone that doesn't know about Higurashi, It's probably the most well known horror anime about :o.

ANd outside of the airing anime my slowly watching series is Hidamari Sketch x 365. I'm thinking about going Higurashi Kai, Darker Than Black, Ergo Proxy or Aoi Hana thisevening.

Madoka is a G.I. Joe.

No, really, she is. Just check the opening.

Also...

Dangit, stop getting me interested in other shows. I can't watch so many at the same time.

*Crosses Higurashi off the list*

I'll watch that this summer, finish AB! when I finish it, let Madoka fill in the cracks, catch up on Gosick, and let Tantei Opera be my focus after AB!?

Or... umm...

Gah, not enough time >_<

Honestly, I think that Disappearance redeemed KyoAni in a really, really big way.

Also, this latest episode of Madoka just...


Shtuff just got real.

But the next episode title just threw up a huge death flag for Madoka. If she wasn't the main character, I would've already written her off based on the title.

The trippy part he latest Madoka episode was great. and yes my thoughts literally were **** just got real ^_^

How come you mostly watch dubs? I don't think i'm being weeaboo in saying dubs just don't feel right. There are a couple that have been ok though (Death Note and Black Lagoon were watchable) but meh. :/
