>>150928617
That's not unpopular. The chunin exam with all that strategic stealth battle in the forest was the most ninja thing ever.

>>150928617
Soul Society is the best Bleach arc and Bleach ended in the most shit way possible.

>unpopular opinion
Almost everyone liked early naruto because it they actually used formations and strategies. Remember how Naruto and Sasuke thought of a strategy and managed to surprise Zabusa which allowed Kakashi to escape from his Water Prison? Now it's just a battle of who has the stronger jutsus and who has the superior eyes.

Soul Society arc is the best arc in Shonen Jump's history.

>>150928617
Not unpopular at all. Naruto peaked at the chuunin exam, which featured some of the most engaging and well thought-out fights I've read in shounen manga, plus some legit feels and character progression.

Welcome to the NHK was really bad (I'm referring to the manga, I didn't watch the anime). The only good part was the story about the suicide pact. The girl completely ruined the whole manga.

>>150931115
Hard to say, I don't remember shit about final arc despite reading weekly, that's how forgettable it was. Bleach's final arc I do remember clearly, because every time I thought it can't get worse Kubo just kept digging

>>150931273
The problem with that dub is it's heavily outdated.

Also, people who like Ping Pong, LoGH, Mushishi and Rakugo are the cancer killing /a/.

>>150928617
Thats not unpopular. Part 1 Naruto was the fucking shit.


If you said something like "Sakura was the most develop character in the series" then we got something

>>150931885
While she isn't the most developed, she clearly is the best girl though.

>>150931831
Apparently the the team considered regularly redubbing this series to update the jokes but then realized how expensive that'd be.

>>150932191
This.
Maybe not Best Girl, but she's probably naruto's best friend if we're being completely honest with ourselves. Also girls with super strength are hot.

People hated the Naruto then because Naruto was specifically going against the tactical nature of it.

Naruto the manga just conformed the world around Naruto the character

>>150928617
That's not unpopular. Most people on /a/ recognize that the first arc and the Chuunin Exam were pretty good. It just got bad after that.

Same thing with Bleach. The first arc (about him fighting hollows) and the Soul Society arc were good, then they went to shit.

My unpopular opinion: Parasyte is overrated.

my "unpopular" opinions that everyone on /a/ shares: early Naruto was decently fun, Miyazaki is overrated, "I hate anime BUT" types are annoying

actual unpopular opinion that no one will agree with: a lot of universally-hated campy 80s and 90s OVAs & films like Sword for Truth are actually unironically fun and many pretend to like them "ironically" because they're afraid to just admit they have fun watching simple yet well-delivered violence & sexualization

>>150931831

Have to agree with this. Soul Society takes a boy and believably makes him a man in the space of a single self-contained arc. Also hype as fuck.

>>150937062
Genocyber and MD Geist are genuinely thrilling.

the initial d anime needed more filler episodes

SOL anime is the best genre out there

>>150940058

It was fucking stupid how he caught up to captains/lieutenants who have trained for 100s of years in a month

There is literally nothing wrong with isekai stories, even the ones with OP characters, as long as they manage to stay interesting and have fun/cute interactions between the MC and the rest of the cast.

>>150940120
I didn't like Geist but I thought it was boring, not BAD just boring.

I still think the people that initially decided to call it the worst thing ever because the CEO of Manga Ent. said it was "deep" or w/e were faggots for caring what the guy thought enough to begin with. And the modern anime kids parroting what those guys say to look cool and in on some joke they don't understand are worse.

I've not seen Genocyber yet but I wanna, seems a big improvement in terms of visual execution for that director.

>>150940329
This.
People talk about the SS arc as the greatest thing ever but even then Ichigo got retarded power-ups in a matter of days that made no fucking sense.

>>150928617
That's not unpopular. But early Naruto did have problems.

>"We need to use actual teamwork. Now excuse me while I go personally train Sasuke. Naruto, you can go train with a literal who and I don't have any training lined up for Sakura at all."

>>150940736

Well he was correct in doing so. Sasuke was the most like him, naruto needed to fix his fundamentals, and sakura was a useless fuck up that only was relevant because of muh trio

>>150940894
If Sakura's useless, then she should be trained so that she's not useless or at least replaced on the team roster.

Naruto is as shonen as they come so it makes sense that people on this 18+ Christian image board wouldn't like it. If you were lucky enough to read Naruto as it was coming out, in it's intended age range, it wasn'tvbad. If you don't grow out of it by around age 16 you may be autistic.

>>150929542
A decade ago? Not even 2 years ago any Naruto thread would get shitposted to death with dubsposting and other shit like that.
Later on people seem more chill abour Naruto threads, though don't ask me why things changed like that.

People here are more mature. It's probably the tedious of nowadays anime that made us understand that it's pointless to fight others people's opinions. Now we understand that having fun is more important.

>>150941701

Because it is the worst kind of gateway...

Before naruto threads got spammed with pasta they were some of the worst type of posters imaginable. On release day they used to flood /a/ with hundreds of similar threads at the same time. This happened without fail every release day or even when spoilers were leaked. It wasn't so much the series, but the type of people the series brought.

Okay, getting back to the topic on hand, Part 1 is my favorite part

And that's the cancer. Also by "rest of the cast" you of course meant, "harem"

The problem with Naruto is that it follows the typical shounen pattern.
The characters HAVE to get more powerful as time passes on. Instead of something like horizontal scaling, where enemies use different tactics and techniques of same power, the show just kept raising the level of foes.
'Naruto' still kept things under control, though. No one had the power to cause mass scale destruction. Shippuden made things too crazy.

80's character designs fucking suck

Satoshi Kon is decent, but his movies tend to be too pretentious. Tokyo Godfathers is his best movie by far.

As time goes on, I'm starting to care less and less about dramatic, serious shows in sci-fi or general action-orientated settings like war.

Tamayura is a better anime than Aria.

I don't see the appeal in YKK. I enjoyed it, but I don't get how people can see it as some sort of masterpiece.

The side characters in TTGL were the only good parts of the show.

Haifuri > GuP

>>150943344
Keeping the story interesting isn't that hard as long as you focus on the MC interacting with the world and not in shitty battles that you know he is going to win anyway.
And no, I didn't meant just his harem.
Overlord is a good example of what I'm talking about. Ainz and his minions are OP as shit so instead of wasting time having him go around kicking ass the author focused on developing the world and its inhabitants and showing Ainz interacting with them.
Meanwhile, Re:Monster is an example of the kind of isekai story that I hate, where the MC does nothing but sit around accumulating skills till someone shows up to challenge him and he kicks his ass in 2 seconds. Not to mention that anyone who isn't the MC barely has something resembling a personality.

None of these boards you people have said that are dying for years haven't died. In fact they just change. Maybe you should just stop browsing.

>>150943531
Shippuden also fails into the same shitty cliche as 90% of fiction: having the MC start as some random dude that has nothing to do with the villains or the events taking place aside from being the son of some important dude or having some weird power and then turning him into the choosen one of ultimate destinity that was fated to save the universe since the very beginning.
I hate that shit, not only because it casts doubts on wether MC's achievements are truly his or just the work of fate, but also because it seems to imply that unless you are the grand-grand-grandson of some powerful dude or the focus of some prophecy, you will never achieve shit.
It's funny because Neji brought that up in the first part and ended up being 100% right.

I seriously believe Fate was better than Unlimited Blade Works.

Shirou and Saber had a very well established romantic relationship, battles actually had you at the edge of your seat, and the ending was much more touching and emotional.

Sure there was infodumping, but I felt much more satisfied at the end of Fate than Unlimited Blade Works.

That's not an unpopular opinion. Here's an unpopular opinion.

I think Bleach remained good throughout the majority of its lifespan despite suffering from pacing issues.

I don't think it ever got bad, and it only got lackluster towards the end of the final arc.

I remember I read number up to like volume 22 years ago. Is it worth finishing it or even reading some shippundem?

Girls und Panzer is unironically amazing.

I enjoy Naruto, think it has gotten better since the beginning, and am watching it since it came out.

May be autism, but I don't see everyone's problem with it. I think they took it the right way.

Probably my favourite anime, with Gurenn Lagann a close second.

>>150945091
Never watched either, what turns me off of Naruto is the sheer length. Is it worth it?

>>150945202
You'll get several dozens of replies saying no. If youre into Shounen and le constant rising power levels, yes.

I started and finished it in 5 months, I'd say about 6-700 episodes in that time.

TSR>FMP>Fumoffu

Vandread is better than most battle harem titles, since i discovered boobs thanks to that show.

Blue gender had the best girl ever.

Everyone should have dropped Druaga when best girl died.

>>150945281
>>150945202

Gurren Lagann will give you a feel for what Naruto is like, and only has 25 episodes. Watch that first, if you enjoy it, take the plunge and try Naruto.

>>150945281
Le constant rising power levels, you say?

>>150945419

>>150945452
Yeah but you don't know other shit that happens, just that one bit.

also only 2 last naruto movies are good

>>150945202

It peaks in the 2nd arc and tosses all of the interesting potential for world building and side characters into the trash in part 2. It also has a bunch of shitty filler. The Manga is tolerable but the anime is a waste of time outside of a few fights

Pic related is far from worst boy. Memes aside, I actually like him, though he's not my favorite. I don't get all the Armin hate. The same people who say he's a Gary Stu say he's a weak cowardly shit (did they even read the past 10 chapters?), which completely negates calling him a Gary Stu.

The massive asspull he suffered from was bullshit, yeah, but ultimately he himself isn't bullshit in my opinion.

Plus he's really cute with Mikasa. There's another unpopular opinion. Armin x Mikasa > any other EMA ship.

"Unpopular" opinion: Despite all of the shit that has happened in Naruto, I still love all of it.

>>150943332
it seems to have great visual direction from the Youtube skimming I did (I'll download & properly watch it eventually), color choices are a lot more distinct & atmospheric than Geist for example

>>150941701
Considering the series went from a cool well articulate cool series about ninja to teen drama post time skip; it did get kind of annoying as if the series had an identity crisis as to trying to comprehend and figure itself out before concluding itself. Though I'm sure most of it over time had to do with editorial changes and stuff like that.

I can definitely see how that happened post zabuza and time skip. I can see how editorial did that post akatsuki, pain, and all that stupid shit after. I couldn't read anymore cuz kishimoto wasn't very creative or seemed to have a good handle on storytelling models.

His work got Milked and should have ended way earlier before time skip and just went on with killing akatsuki before adding things that didn't make complete sense and was just asspulls after asspulls when it just became rescue sasuke when he should've just been with them the whole entire time instead of making him a stupid fucking antihero the entire majority of the series.

Basically most of the series was post time skip anyways; so 2/3 of it was trash when the 1/3 beginning was good. Sucks but shit like this happens. Kishimoto had a good editor till he got screwed over with a new stupider one.

>>150947866

The difference is One Piece changes scenery and more than 4 characters are relevant at a time, where Ippo is just 2 antagonists in a ring and a bunch of wash on wash off training and some character building side stories.

also what kind of elitist thinks YYH is generic?

>>150947866
>They'll be like "they're all shit other than HxH".
for anime they basically are, long running action adventure shounen get butchered in anime from fillers and bad animation

I'm saying there was more regard given to the principles of animation, whether succeeding or not (though mostly succeeding even if you can post a cherry picked gif where it didn't) than the average manga trace episode and that takes more effort

One Punch Man is good, I like the conundrum Saitama is going through. But side characters is definitely what you can't imagine it without.

Water 7/Enies Lobby are the most overrated One Piece arcs. Not bad, but I don't get why they're seen as the peak of the series. Alabasta, Skypeia, Sabondy/Impel Down/Marineford were all better. Hell, despite being heavily influenced by it, I might end up liking the current manga arc more as long as Oda fuck up the climax.

>Bad Animation
So do a lot of shows in general. Gundam, TTGL, xxxHollic, Persona 4 The Animation, and a lot of shows suffer from bad animation. It's not just a long running shonen thing.

>Filler
True. But when a series ends, It's easy to just skip the filler. Plus some of the best episodes can sometimes be filler. (That one episode in DBZ where Goku gets his driver's license comes to mind).

I enjoyed Dangan Ronpa 3 a lot, and thought other than the Hope arc which was awful fan service drivel, that it was pretty good. The end twist with how everyone died was thoroughly foreshadowed and made sense in context, and I thought the 'main' new characters which wearn't canon fodder (Chisa, Juzo, Munakata) were really cool.

People had absurd expectations for the scope of a 12 episode series, and they were comparing it to how the games did it with limitless time to tell its story, they were obviously going to be disappointed.

Laputa: Castle in the Sky was the best Miyazaki film. Princess Mononoke, while not bad, was overrated considering most people call it the best one.

Naruto, while not perfect, actually had some pretty great moments in character development and story. It was not a bad anime. The story's meaning got muddied a bit because originally Naruto was supposed to be an underdog who struggled to get to the top (in a lot of ways he still is), but it was simple enough and consistent with its message. He had conviction and stuck to it, and that may seem like a naive/simplistic/cliche character design but I really loved it myself.

The biggest problems were simply being too long and drawn out, mainly due to all of the constant backtracking/flashbacking to fill episode time, along with the annoying ass filler eps themselves (some of those were actually pretty OK though).


I actually like most english dubs and prefer watching them to the original tracks when I can. I'm always interested in seeing the differences in dialogue and I respect that the original dubs exist. However I just don't like reading words at the bottom of the screen, I much prefer to get immersed in what's going on and watch all of the art that was drawn/animated instead of just reading it. Plus a lot of English actors are really good and do an amazing job with their characters, even if their crying or grunting or screaming doesn't sound as impressive.

>>150940736

Naruto was fighting Neji and at most would have gotten a beat down and a trip to the hospital

Sasuke was going to fight Garra and had old snake face taking an interest in him


And really? Ebisu was considered trusted and skilled enough to train the thirds grandson, Kakashi himself said the guy normally only trains elites

As for sakura

yeah that was weird

Even if she wasn't in the tournament other stuff still was going down and she should have been training

>>150928617

Everyone who said Naruto was good early is wrong, the main three characters were all still bad and Kakashi was still the only decent part of the show. It just had two good villains to start it off.

>>150960146
>Xam'd was actually a decent show

It started out really neat and interesting, then just got weird and nonsensical at the end just for the sake of being weird and nonsensical, because that comes of "arty" or some shit. I have never regretted watching an anime all the way through as much as I did watching that one.

>>150940384

Of course there is nothing wrong with the genre, but the market is being absolutely drowned in mediocre isekai shows. It's just too much.

My unpopular opinion I guess:

I fucking hate how you can't have a discussion about any sports show without it turning into a gayfest. I will give the fruits Yuri on Ice, but every Haikyuu or KnB thread inevitably turns into a homo circlejerk.

>>150965261
No shit, those shows are tailor made for fujoshis, it's inherently sexual fanservice even if it has merits beyond that.

>>150958636
>I love GoHand's visual style

After watching K project, I kinda agree. Lensflare and bloom aside, everything was really nice to look at. Even the rotoscopy was used tastefully.

Tomino was actually once a genius and almost all of his shows are excellent, but then Victory Gundam happened and the last good thing he made was Turn A

King Gainer and G reconguista both had potential but they probably needed a full 52 ep set up

Dagashi Kashi put too much emphasis on Dagashi rather than just letting it be a side thing, the anime tries really hard to make every little thing relate to candy.

It's fucking Naruto. It's popular as fuck around the world so this alone is kind of proof for it being good to a certain extent. Also literally everyone you ask says pre shippuuden is good. You are just one of those special snowflakes that can't deal with popular stuff I guess

>>150969245
Yes they still had massive balls pre-shippuuden. I mean look at the mess that is the final war. literally over the half of the shinobi world died and the only character worth mentioning is fucking Neji. Hell even Guy didn't die. This anime was already pretty damn medicore before the last arc but it completely shit the bed in the war.

>>150950651
I agree with this, except I feel skypeia+fishman island are the lowest points in the series. Impel down is probably my favorite.

>>150969586
I think most agree that fishman island is the lowest point in the series. Other than that however it's up to ones own taste I guess. Skypeia was done really well but I can understand when people say they didn't like it as much as other arcs simply because it didn't really drive the main plot forward. I personally really liked it though, can't wait for Enel to return some time

>>150969578
Guy not dying is a massive disservice to the guy. If he had gone out as the man who beat MADARA FUCKING UCHIHA into the ground in a blaze of glory, it would have been perfect for him.
Instead he's left alive as a cripple, thanks to Ninja Christ. Couldn't heal his fucking leg too, Naruto?
And I didn't expect Neji to stay dead, I was waiting for another Pain Arc cop out

Soul Eater (manga) had a really shitty ending and it left a bad taste in my mouth after following it for so long.

BRS anime was significantly better than the OVA ( albeit mostly because of the aesthetics)
Gakkou Gurashi was adapted in a way that better fit the medium than a more faithful adaptation of the source material would have. Torumaru wasn't bad either and get far more hate then he deserves.

>>150969693
>Guy not dying is a massive disservice to the guy.
Pretty much this. For him not being able to jump around doing the crazy shit he just does seems like killing his fucking sould leaving only his shell. If you think about it it's way more dark than actually killing him, I seriously don't know what they thought. Only Neji dying was lame as fuck, there were many secondary characters around that could've gone with him. It makes the final war just so fucking cheap it hurts thinking about it

>>150970029
Naruto sure didn't do the poor fucker any favors by saving his life. He gave up everything to try to kill Madara, and damn near suceeded. Everything after that must have been agony for him, because he lived knowing how amazing he used to be, and that because of Naruto's "mercy", he was being forced to keep living, knowing that he could never do anything of note again

>>150948815

I don't think that people not dying is the tragedy you're making it out to be. I really don't think it's safe to assume that Guy would have been better off dead, he was always loved and admired by many and the fact that he beat Madara to within an inch of his life already proved how incredible he's always been. He lived to see his best friend/rival Kakashi be Hokage and probably to see Lee grow stronger, isn't that all worth living for?

JoJo has the worst fanbase out of all Anime/Manga.

>>150972789
I pretty much agree with this one. I was shipping her and MC as much as anyone else was, but realistically it's ridiculous to expect a little girl to wait indefinitely for her childhood friend to wake up from a coma (which he may never wake up from) instead of moving on. Especially considering that when he wakes up from the coma he would (from her POV) have the mind and experiences of a child whereas she was a grown woman.

Of course, on the other hand, anime isn't real and the author certainly didn't have to make it realistic. I'm still pretty sad they didn't end up together because I was enjoying the fuck out of their relationship.

>Implying Aizen-sama's keikaku fuckery wasn't the best part of the series
Aizen was a fun villain

>Kakashi being badass
He was jobbing to Kakuzu through the whole fight.

>>150985886
But Kishi wants to keep his Ino-Shika-Cho thing.

>>150985886
'Naruto' really avoids killing important/semi-important characters.
I was pretty surprised they actually killed Jiraiya

>>150985886
If there had been deaths in the Retrieval arc outside of the Sound 4, it would have been pretty good. Neji was shot through, and Choji was dying from his pills. The others were rescued by the Sand Siblings, so it makes sense that they didn't die. Kiba was about to die to Sakon/Ukon, Kimimaro was about to put a new hole in Lee, and Shika was about to be molested by Tayuya

>>150985995
It's been a long while since I watched that fight but I remember Kakashi doing really well, especially for someone who's better at 'close and personal' type of fights than mass destruction.

>>150986011
Jiraiya and Neji were the only really important deaths, outside of the Akatsuki. Asuma was a secondary, there was no way Obito was going to live, and the Ino-Shika parents were barely blips on the radar before the war

>>150985957
>Aizen was a fun villain
He was the complete opposite.
>Mastermind behind whatever the fuck Kubo wanted him to. You can tell Kubo thought up that shit on the spot.
>Spends most of time doing nothing.
>Overpowered in all the wrong ways.
>Shallow character in general. Barely any backstory and motive.

>>150986173
I bet you think Ywach was a better villain.

>>150986011

Not just Naruto. All mangas do this. I wish they would take more risks. You can't kill any of the 'core' characters, but killing side characters more often would improve so many manga.

Evangelion is not a masterpiece nor is too deep or complex

>>150986214
That's implying I took Yhwach seriously.

>>150986240
I dunno, Seo did it by offing the first Fuuka

>>150986011
Oda killing ace in one piece surprised me a lot. Didn't expect that to happen. I was hoping he'd be a more pivotal character in all honesty really. Instead of being used as a death plot device.

>>150986309

I was super impressed by one piece when they did this. Honestly it has my eternal respect. Ace was a great character with a lot of life. They could have milked him for whole arcs, but him dying left a masterpiece in its wake.

Well, since you're talking about Naruto, here's a really unpopular opinion : There are several fillers that i enjoyed, 10/10 masterpiece

Star Guard Mission/Gennou/Utakata/Power/Kakashi Anbu/Sanbi

And many others

The Stardust Crusaders OVA is better than its anime counterpart.

>>150986373
It's a shame his death is sort of cheapened when long lost brother Sabo turns up straight after.

>>150986433

You know if you're enjoying a show episodically from week to week... filler is honestly not that bad. If you're marathoning though its just a nuisance because nothing is ever 'carried on' on no real progression is made in the plot.

>>150986433
>Enjoying Naruto filler.
The only good filler was the one about Kakashi's mask and that was based on a oneshot.

>>150986309
>>150986373

The way he died was fucking stupid. Plot induced stupidity of the highest order. It would have had much more impact on the narrative of the story if the marines executed him on the gallows while fending off wb, showing that they are actually competent outside of the admirals

>>150951186
You what? Everything besides Madara was complete shit.

>>150929384
>strategic stealth battle
It was just a team death match and the only people actually using stealth were the ones who absolutely sucked at combat.

>>150986504

Well its still a shounen. Luffy had to "win" by rescuing him... but him sacrificing himself for his brother wasn't really that bad. When Luffy faces the admiral that killed him I think it will have more impact than if the executioners did it.

>>150986490
>filler
>good
chose one faggot

>>150986488
Yes, but even watching it weekly Bleach/AoD/Rurouni/One Piece (maan those were bad) don't even compare in quality with most of the Naruto ones.

Crucify me

>>150928617
K-on is really boring.

>>150986689
Agree. It can be cute occasionally but overall I feel like it was a waste of my time, and usually very, very boring.

>>150986683

Honestly I never watched any of the naruto filler. The few I did were so bad that I find out every episode that was filler just so I could skip it.

>>150940736
>We need to use actual teamwork.
The exam finals were one-on-one duels.

>Sasuke
Was going to fight a possessed serial killer and still needed to be guarded from Ninja Rasputin Mengele
>Naruto
Was going to fight an emo kid
>Sakura
Wasn't even in the finals.

Kakashi had his priorities in order.

>'Naruto' still kept things under control, though. No one had the power to cause mass scale destruction. Shippuden made things too crazy.

>>150986866
She's using a weapon.

The lumber industry must be stopped!

>>150949491
>What happened to Rock Lee's effort?
It failed to accomplish anything other than stalling for those born with power.
>What about Neji's struggle?
He's a C-List character, it doesn't matter.
>Hell, the only reason why Kakashi is a legend is the sharingan.
Well he's also the son of a kage level ninja and actually he set every Konoha record for competence before he got the sharingan; genin at 5, chunin at 6, jonin at 12-13.

That too.

Why did the show have 100 filler episodes anyway?

I liked the Beetle Filler with Hinata,Neiji and Naruto

You want an unpopular opinion?

Dragon Ball Super is good in my book. The main three issues it suffers is animation, art and pacing but even with these I enjoyed the Battle of Gods arc, knowing what was going to happen thanks to the movie made me feel like it was dragging but overall its a decent arc to kick the series off with.

The RoF is where this series goes low, it started out strong but dips into a spiral of disappointment. They could have done more with Goten and Trunks, they could have included Yamcha, they could have done more with Gohan they could have done more with Tagoma, they could have not had Piccolo died but it falls apart, RoF Super Cut is definitive.

The Champa arc is entertaining, my only criticisms toward it is Buu not fighting, Frost's fights and Botamo's fight not being as good as it was in the manga. Other than that I loved Vegeta and Cabba; Goku and Hit.

The Superhuman Water mini arc is decent, nothing to go crazy over but I liked its humor, I liked it showing the relationship between Vegeta and Trunks and I thought the battle between Goku and copy-Vegeta was nice enough and a bit humorous with Vegeta criticizing both. The super human water is a good concept.

The Future Trunks arc is Super's peak so far, amazing fights, amazing character interactions, the mystery surrounding who Black is made me want more and this arc, even with its flaws made me want more. It could have been handled better with the Mafuba, Trunk's transformation being explained and him defeating Zamasu but I can live with it looking at the arc as a whole.

Super is not Dragon Ball and it certainly isn't Z, its a combination of the two and I love that and I am willing to call it a good continuation. I have various medias to enjoy the first two arcs and I'm glad. I'm looking forward to this new Universal Survival arc. My favorite character is Whis and I'm glad he was created. I also like how Super expands on lore and has potential to explore universes. Filler is 10/10

Oh and the swapping faces one

>>150987219
They were dangerously close to the manga at the end of the Sasuke Retrieval arc. They had to buy more time.

>>150987280

Super is beyond trash. Lower than GT. Its like they turned it into a gag anime.

>Literally the perfect woman
8-man is such a fucking fag

>>150987396
Its almost like Akira Toriyama is a gag manga artist, Pedro

>>150987467
Not him, but saying that Tori is just a gag manga artist is really selling him short.

He is truly gifted when it comes to depicting action.I've read hundreds of battle and martial arts manga, and Toriyama is still one of the first artists that comes to mind every time someone mentions how depicting flow, weight and pace is supposed to look like in sequential art.

Also, considering how how graphically violent DB could get from the King Piccolo arc and onwards, I doubt it was supposed to be played for laughs (except for the intentional moments of levity placed here and there every arc).

berserk and ajin are a nice watch for non manga readers.

I think Monster Musume fans are more retarded and obnoxious than the most overzealous Jojo fan, at least they like something that can be agreed upon is DECENT.
