That was a nice first episode. If this show can hit on the wonder of space travel as well as something like Planetes then I think we've got something special on our hands.
I stopped counting. Probably for the best.
I don't know if it was 500 titles, but I have seen quite a few things.
I've only completed about a quarter of them though.
One Piece Marineford Arc (400whatever - way too long)
Well that was... awful. No real stand out moments except for one short section when Luffy throws like, a mast or something at the admirals. Though I guess that one scene near the end was worth watching, certainly really good with some voice acting and music.
Oh and every scene with Kizaru talking in it was amazing just because he has the best voice.
Mine was Cheese TV in Australia. It aired at 7 in the morning so I'd wake up and watch a marathon of DBZ/Pokemon/Sailor Moon/Beyblade/Crush Gear. Those were the days. ooh, NOSTALGIA MAX.
I'd definitely love to see it remade since it's probably my most favourite arc. But even looking on I don't see it getting much better. They really need to do some full on filler arcs after Fishman Island.
Well it was nice to rewatch. Takuma and Mahiro were funnier the second time around, both my favorite, and I guess this time I actually noticed how well the music was done. I like the setting and atmosphere. The ED is pretty nice and smooth, mellow yet fitting.
I recommend against letting people talk you into adding 100+ episode shows to your backlog if you ever want to climb out of that hole you're digging. :[

What moments would even be chosen, seemed many moments were vital. A movie would be as fast paced and clustered as the manga, which was not really ideal for me. The way the anime did it really made it feel focused and enjoyable.
There's only so many hours in the day. And to be honest while I want to watch everything I also need time to sleep, study Japanese, draw, write, play games, post on GAF, catch up on the 10 pages of AnimeGAF I've missed while sleeping, etc.

I had to cut back on post about games, can easily spend more talking about games than playing them.
My anime backlog is usually just limited to whatever is coming out on disc soon, though I still do have Star Driver and FLCL blu rays sitting unwatched, oh and Redline, never saw them yet.
For me, having a lack of anime standards means I want to see almost everything, so my backlog keeps growing exponentially. It's probably impossible to see everything I want to see. Even working through the stuff I haven't completely seen on my shelf could take years.
Because it means not having to pick & choose between different cartoons you find really interesting but don't necessarily have the time for?
I mean, as many times as this has come up, with the same response from you every single time, it seems probable that at least once you'd think about it instead of resorting to thoughtless quippy contrarianism.
I find it great to have lots of interesting unwatched cartoons; there is nothing good about having no new cartoons at all to watch. Right now, other than new stuff coming out and older unsubbed shows getting subbed, there is absolutely nothing I want to watch that I haven't watched already.

And when you watch all of them, what are you going to do?
Well, it's just that I would personally find it better to have lots of unwatched cartoons rather than have no new cartoons at all to watch. Right now, other than new stuff coming out and older unsubbed shows getting subbed, there is absolutely nothing I want to watch that I haven't watched already.
More of the same, this time there was a flashback for how Luffy got his straw hat (it's because he was being a stupid little brat). I would care more about these emotional scenes if there was actually a reason for me to like Luffy beyond "he's the protagonist".

Give them a three episode test and drop everything you don't like from the backlog. A backlog is fine if tidy and organized, but it can get out of hand pretty quickly if shows you haven't completed are added to it. Over the years you're probably going to forget what you have seen of a show, so you'll have to start over again from the beginning.
I didn't mean to imply I cared about watching my backlog for the sake of reducing it. I watch shows pretty much at whim, and how long they've been in my backlog doesn't really concern me. That's how Monster languished for years and years.

Perhaps the secret best show of the year. It really does have something for everyone! Moralizing for the little girls (if you confess, people will still love you!) and trolls for the fanboys:
Of course, of course, of course they had to also insert the moment of self-awareness during the whole confession scene:
Man. I guess it's the simple morality and simple characters tinged with hints of self-aware comedy that sells this show for me. It's both somehow nostalgic and fresh at the same time.
Good start for this. It more or less keeps up with my expectations for the adaption. They really nailed Mutta too, at least so far, with his half laid back attitude and I actually can't wait to see certain events animated.
