They are. Why do you think readers through a fit and gave the Fullbring Arc low marks? Because Kubo took the Soul Reapers out of the picture to focus on the original "main cast." I like them, but the sad fact remains that people ended up liking the Soul Reapers more than the main cast. Yes, I know Rukia and Renji are Soul Reapers, but you know what I'm talking about. You know I quit watching Hiatus months ago, right?

What makes a good story and good writing is subjective. I could say the same to you calling that trainwreck Unicorn "fantastic." For whatever you want to say against Kubo, Bleach is at least enjoyable. Entertaining, interesting, engaging. Hiatus is just a big ball of nothing. In fact, when Kishimoto, heh, "adapted" his material from it, he made it actually entertaining! :-D I'll take Naruto before the time skip over Hiatus any day.

Yeah, it's kind of silly, that whatever those motives were, Kaneki thought they weren't ill-willed, even after what he did to him and to Toka. And wasn't Jason part of his organization? If they aren't "bad ghouls," why would they have him around? I suppose you could make the argument that he's their Mado, to show how there is bad on both sides, but Aogiri isn't some official government group. They don't have to keep him around because he's "useful." Which, he isn't. All he does is torture people. I thought they were supposed to be some giant evil ghoul faction bent on... taking over territory? Not sure what happens after they do that since no humans will be sticking around for them to eat, and we saw how fast the Doves responded. So yeah I guess it's not clear. And yeah very abrupt given we don't really have a full understanding of Aogiri Tree. Come to think of it, we still don't even know why they wanted Kaneki. And yet they've just let him join after he killed Jason, and don't seem to be "using" him for anything special compared to what other members are doing. *sigh*

The show wasn't very subtle about it. The way she reacted to hearing Kaneki's name was immediately suspicious. Still silly that we're supposed to care about a "shocking reveal" of this author lady who was only talked about until now being a prominent ghoul in Aogiri Tree.

It was just a job! We were just following orders!

So no one thought it was suspicious that Rize just happened to have the same blood type as Kaneki, allowing the organ transfer to happen? Uhh, Kaneki didn't go missing right after the surgery. Doctor I can see.

So why the hell are they imprisoning ghouls? Wouldn't it be safer to kill them? Thought that's what the Doves were all about. And how are they feeding them?!

I think it's supposed to be that author the characters were talking about before. And apparently she's a crazy cat lady type.

Yeah, I feel like that's been hinted at before. Wasn't he watching something with binoculars in an earlier episode?

So are you going to overlook how her father was also complete fucking psycho? Yeah they're both workaholics and geniuses solving cases. She's just like her dad! I swewr, it's like the other Doves don't even notice Mado's craziness. "He likes books!" ...You know you have to try harder than that to give people character traits, show. Ok, does anyone remember Kaneki doing the chin before now?

LOL

Another new character?! And he's an annoying basketcase too. Great. So, is there going to be any explanation for why Kaneki joined the enemy? No? And don't tell me the transformation changed his personality and morality. He saved his friends and killed Jason with this power. No, no he doesn't, Hinami. Toka is barely bigger than a child, lol. Koma the Devil Ape. Thought you were introduced to help in the big battle, but nope! Mega-versity. No, just no.

Dat animation. Dat bgm. Historia has gone into full badass mode! So it looks like you can't transform if you're not fully healed. Ah hell. Now the drunk guy is dead. Why the hell did you turn away from the kiss, Eren! Eren can command Titans now? Deus es Machina much? Coordinate? The hell. Connie's mom is ugly haha. Well, the Titans are people. But I don't think ALL humans can turn into Titans. Oh great, Hohenheim is working for the Titans.

Also Namekians have to be conscious and have enough energy left to regenerate. Piccolo didn't die in the movie as far as I recall. Super really fucked up the Frieza part.

This new Kai theme for Buu is great. Buu just turned The Devil into a cookie and ate him! You do not fuck with him! Piccolo can regenerate from being in that many pieces?! Now Vegeta is entering the fray.

It was a looooooong time ago when Supreme Kai felt mysterious and menacing at the tournament. Gohan and Kai, both down and out. Didn't Goku and Krillin do that blurry leg running when they were kids? TRUNKS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! Dabura is right, but Babidi won't listen to reason. The song in this Coke commercial is fucking annoying.

Beerus and Whis with some 4th Wall breaking criticism. > Pride prevents team work! At least the fighting is decent in this episode. Hahaha Goku bites his tail. Frieza - You bastard! Pretty sure Frieza was supposed to go back to his final form here. Frieza with some criticism Goku too. Stop being merciful and overconfident! Frieza is too dangerous to be left alive! You know this already!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. And you can't have epic character returns and reveals of new abilities, etc if they aren't out of the picture for a while. Besides, those other characters are actually good, interesting and entertaining to watch. Going from Kurapika to Gon and Killua feels like punishment.

It's basically like if you had spin-offs all in one show, with casts taking turns. It's not a very conventional or appreciated way to tell a story. And it's a bit of a problem when characters are annoying and/or you don't give a shit about them. Nobody wants to be watching The Next Generation and then all of a sudden it's like NOPE TIME TO WATCH ENTERPRISE NOW.

That's not what all the fanboys said. The people that were up-selling this show and telling everyone to "keep watching it gets better" said this was the definitive version and the superior to 99 version in practically every way.

Good to hear. I'm still done with the show, though. Way too frustrated and exasperated with it. As I've said before, it's telling that this show managed to force me to break my years-long self-imposed completionist rule. Hahahahaha oh god. It's like the episode where they went hunting for a retro console. >

I've leveled plenty of other criticisms against Hiatus. Don't act like you haven't seen them. And I don't think what I've just said isn't damning, either. But, even if it didn't drop supposed main characters for hundred plus episodes, the show is just too good at generating viewer apathy.

In the 30-something episodes Hiatus was treading water waiting to "get good," someone could have watched Cowboy Bebop and FLCL. Think about that. It's inexcusable. Oh, I heard over and over how HxH was a "slow burn" and "totally gets good later we promise!" Well, I watched for a good long while, putting up with the show when lots of people would've dropped it, and not only did it not get better, it managed to make me not care about any of the characters anymore, the few that I did like a bit, at least. The episodes of Gon and Killua chopping people in the back were the last straw for me. I don't think I've ever seen a show more dull and tedious.

No, but the middle picture is from the time skip at the end of DBZ, so yeah, she will start to look like that when she gets older. Still not sure how this time skip figures in with Super though.

I dunno, I like his character designs. And there's only so many faces you can draw in general. That's the whole reason anime characters have unusual hairstyles and hair colors. It was done to set them apart from each other more. Either way, not sure why you care what Mai looks like, since she's barely in the show. It's also conceivable she looked like this when she was a child. The one I get a kick out of is Marron, who looks like Krillin as a small child, but at some point starts to look like 18 as she gets older.
