I dunno, when me and many other people first saw Bleach, and the training consisted of an episode or two, or just a single flashback, compared to other series like DBZ or Yu Yu Hakusho that whole training ARCS, it was like a revelation!

Yep non-canon to the manga and many of them are "what-if" stories almost like long movies that interrupt the middle of arcs. Well Kubo also uses large drawings and panels, and is sparse on dialogue, so that doesn't help either. And yeah, the seasonal model would have done wonders for Bleach!

Yeah. There are some parts in the manga that get rushed and some things are just plain not even shown, that I hope the anime can also be a "director's cut as Kubo intended" sort of thing, as well.

There were parts where they completed each other's thoughts. Not words, BUT THOUGHTS. Go back to the Substitute Arc. Also the fact that Rukia snaps Ichigo out of one of his emo funks with a single motivational speech and nothing Orihime did works, and she gets jealous over this. I believe he said something like if we saw romantic chemistry between any of the characters, can't remember if he was talking about Ichigo and Rukia or not, that it was just in the reader's head. He also said that Bleach wouldn't have romance and that he felt he could do better and more interesting things with the characters. But then, in the final arc, and ending -

If Demarco co-funds the final Bleach season, all sins will be forgiven. Bleach: Bankai, has a nice ring to it. It will a make sense for plot and other reasons, trust me, and well, Bankai means "final release," heh.

I thought no one was able to do anything because if they did, Kayaba would fry the brains of the players. Remember, he said if anyone tried to remove the devices, the signal would be automatically sent and kill that person. I can't remember if it was ever said if anyone tried to hack into SAO, but I had assumed it was isolated from the rest of the internet and its own thing, and thus not physically hackable. At least, something to that effect. So, basically you are saying the protagonist of War Games is a Mary Sue and that movie violates suspension of disbelief? I dunno I loved Yui so I was glad she didn't die. Obviously not everyone agrees with me there lol.

I haven't seen Ordinal Scale yet. Is it even canon? I know Reki wrote the story for it, but that doesn't mean anything. And didn't you say a week before? Can't even get your story straight. Ignoring Ordinal Scale, he was able to beat that guy up due to adrenaline and survival instinct, plus Oberon was fucked up by what Kirito did to him in the game, turning the pain sensors all the way up on him. In any case, we've seen multiple occasions where Kirito was over-powered in real life fights, and in-game, as well. To say that Kirito "never loses" is a lie. James Bond is a male power fantasy, too. Is he a Mary Sue? And what's so wrong with that anyway? Are we not allowed to have male power fantasies anymore? And either way, I don't care. I enjoy the story and characters for what they are. Yes, Aincrad Arc has flaws with the wonky time skips, issues with pacing and character development because of this. Reki knew it had problems which is why he remade it. And I thought you said you liked SAO?

Well, I don't even really consider most of the users in Babbling actual people. They've made fun of people because their parents were sick or had died. They mock disabled people and tell people to kill themselves. I meant, as far users who act like actual human beings, like the ones in the Toonami and Anime sections, you're being more of an asshole than you need to be. Besides, I've dealt with Babblings' types all my life. Theirs are no more than grade school level insults. And that's not what many other people tell me. Friends, family members, co-workers, even some mere acquaintances, people I barely know, people that have no reason to lie, have complimented on me on my intelligence and how I operate on a higher level than most people. Of course, it's not uncommon for those of lesser intellect to believe they are in fact the intelligent one, and the intelligent person is the stupid one, or just plain be jealous that they don't do as well as them in school, aren't as smart, have a harder time acquiring skills, doing well at their job, etc. I've dealt with these kinds of people all my life. You could be any or all of these, and all it means is I misjudged you and was mistaken to hold you in as high regard as I did, because it seems you indeed do not understand me at all, and all it took was a few disagreements over Star wars and a few animes and "LOLOLOL YOU'RE A LUNATIC YOUR BRAIN DON'T WORK GOOD." You obviously do not take disagreement or criticism well, if this is the behavior you resort to when confronted. And somehow I'm not sure you would have said the same things if you didn't know about my conditions, either. So yeah, you can call me whatever you want, it doesn't make it true, and it just means I file you in the same category as the rest who did the same thing. So you aren't actually going to argue how I was wrong with any of those examples and will instead just criticize me for my disability. I've seen a few videos by this guy. Can't say I'm a fan. And it's hard for me take him seriously when he says things like "everyone over the age of 12 knows SAO is bad." But SAO is not universally hated. It wouldn't have this degree of success if it was. It's a polarizing show. So hated yes, but also loved just as much. Don't remember the thing about Kirito and Asuna being the only ones to find happiness and love. Either way, it's not true. Other people seemed pretty content with their lives in SAO, this was shown in multiple episodes, like with the old fisherman. It's definitely not true that Kirito doesn't have a defined personality. He's kind and considerate, cares for the people around him. And what's that you call it? He's a character? A little shit? Why does he assume turning off the no log out thing would be harder than just copying and pasting lines of code??? Hell I am sure Kayaba would have plenty of fail-safes and redundancies to prevent that exact thing from happening. I doubt he gives too much of a shit if Yui breaks loose. Propriety, new tech, yes, but it's still written with computer code. From what we can tell it still works on that basic level. That's like saying people "can't" write viruses for Macs, as Apple fanboys used to say. No, hackers simply didn't give a shit about Macs so they didn't write viruses for them in near the numbers they did for PC. If Kirito is a Mary Sue, then so is the protagonist of War Games, apparently, and that movie isn't believable either, according to you, and this guy. But its ratings, which you are so fond of, say otherwise. =3

It was revealed he put computers together and did some programming. Which people also made a big deal out of for no reason. Hacking is a form of programming.

You obviously didn't pay attention to the show. He sucks at kendo. Remember his sparring session with Sugaha? It's come up multiple times that Kirito is a wimpy nerd in real life and his skills in games don't help him there. He even reaches for a sword out of habit that isn't there. So yeah he sucks at actual fighting, and his swordfighting skills in the games don't translate to the real world, or vise versa, this has been shown repeatedly. Not sure what you are on about here.

At least this means if this ends up sucking, Cowboy Bebop won't be defiled by a Demarco funded Toonami original sequel first, should he not know to leave well enough alone there. This should also be alternate canon/continuity, so no harm done there. At least they won't be white-washing this, since the characters aren't Japanese. Not sure about Ed's ethnicity though. She's like a ginger Ishvalen, lol. We've said this before about previous shows, but this should translate really well to an American adaptation since it is not particularly Japanese-centric. When I was a newbie back in the day I didn't even think it was an anime! Generally realistic world and character designs, no wacky art shifts or anime "comedy," just the general feel and tone and themes of the show, do not scream anime. Part of its appeal and what makes it so good, I imagine. In fact, isn't Bebop and Watanabe stuff in general not even popular in Japan?

Kirito has been hacking and playing with computers and videogames his whole life. This was repeatedly established in the show that he was a shut-in gamer tech junkie nerd. There are also child prodigies in the world like the kid who has a nuclear lab in his garage. ...And then I disqualified all of those examples, because they had explanations for their power, talent, and skill. I set them up to knock them down, to prove the fallacy of the Mary Sue concept and how the term is so overused and abused. So you obviously didn't actually listen to or understand what I said. The only ones I can think of that truly fit the bill are Alice from the Resident Evil movies and the main character of Prince of Tennis. I do sound "off" to people, sure. It's obvious I'm not a "normal" personality. But that doesn't mean I'm wrong, and you don't have to be such a jerk about it.

Loved the first Wreck-it Ralph. Haven't really felt well enough to feel like going to see Wreck-it Ralph Breaks the Internet yet.

Clover Clips? And preview? Gordon my magic is becoming friends with anyone LOL. Did you steal that from Asta?

Umm aren't your allies human, Vetto? LOL Gray acting like the plant girl on FLCL. Nice more to add to the combo. Finally landed a good blow!

Why CAN'T he just destroy things by warping them into oblivion like his brother? Seriously just because he doesn't to hurt anyone or get hurt himself?

Forest of Witches? And why is she locked up? Ok she can clearly get through the gap in those bars. So Finraal was a noble who used his magic poorly just like Noelle. God damn this makes Finaal even fucking sadder.

The anti-magic sword actually cut through his self healing magic. Nice. This is a pretty good combination, but Vetto is still ticking. He was biding his time to read their moves! Crap! You should have said something sooner if you could, Yami!

So Vetto can read ki/chi too? Said Asta's aura gave him away.

I meant to say Vic Mignonga instead of JYB, and I mistook Luci Christian for Cherami Leigh tonight. x_x

TMI and that's disgusting! Don't need you in my manga. Being an artist he's probably still asleep. Memories being fucked with more? No way he's meeting up with some girl lmao.

Wow... Wonder if this is where Kubo got the inspiration for Tsukishima. Not sure how this proves what @Jman said about Fullbring Arc ripping off JoJo though.

Opening up like pages of a manga. Creepy as fuck.

LOL probably true. Well, once you realize that you don't necessarily have to look up nudes of someone that may never come out, or wait for someone else to draw something... I did a nude of 18 but I can find it now! D:

Japan is technologically advanced in many ways but archaic in others! They're obsessed with fax machines and refuse to get rid of them! http://www.cracked.com/article_20118_5-things-nobody-tells-you-about-living-in-japan.html
