Invading Army arc is 25 episodes I believe. Bount was 45 spanning two seasons while the manga got further ahead.

And still the anime needed to insert filler arcs randomly during canon arcs. Really is too bad they couldn't have done seasons the way they're adapting Magi and AoT

Kubo kind of screwed the anime team with his arc set up. From the moment ichigo and co go to hueco mundo to the final defeat of aizen there is no great place to put a filler arc, so the anime team just inserted then whole sale wherever they felt like. Really seems to ruin the pacing of the anime when randomly in the middle of major story we jump to something completely irrelevant.
After watching basically every major shonen's approach to when they catch up to the manga I've come up with a list of my personal preferences.
1. Ideal Solution: Seasons. Just take some damn time off every year. Since you want the product to remain hot I guess you could hire someone else to do an awesome Rock Lee style show...or you can just make sure you end on high notes to keep people coming back. This...never happens.
2. The DBZ five minutes on Namek for half a year. Recaps....the same flashback over and over. DBZ mastered it, One Piece inherited the mantle though even then they still have filler to promote a movie or just a really short stop over between arcs.
3. Short small bursts of filler. I like these a lot especially when they go full on comedy with them. They don't all have to be one offs either. Just make they don't turn into...
4. Long ass filler arcs. I hate these. Even good ones tend to drag on too long and feel hollow compared to the real deal.
5. Don't be bleach. Bleach is the worst combination of 2 through 4.

i really don't understand the aversion to the season approach. it works fine for live-action shows in the US.

The Bleach anime has 165 episodes of filler, that's nearly 50% of the series.
Awwwww yeah.
Also I'm really tempted to say something like mah nigga, but he might take it the wrong way.

Speaking of which, how have you been handling Arachne on SE, GMN?

Seasons plus stand alone OVAs to keep people interested seems like the way to go.

But of course. No one can compare to Medusa. Best villain.
It's only two episodes, and I'm not sure what to make of Space Dandy. Most of it isn't all that 'humorous' to me, but I enjoy it nonetheless. I just enjoy the presentation and hijinks, even if things are non-believable or absurd.
I made gifs.
.
also Dandy had a face in his mouth, lol
Dandy isn't very nice to Meow
"Damn cat! You're nothing but a useless, pathetic, free-loading, feline, ..." (something else I can't decipher)
"You're a mangy, mooching, flee-ridden stray!"
"You stupid, useless, ball of fuuuur!"
...
Do we know why the Gogol fleet is after Dandy?

Apparently he holds the secret to winning the intergalactic war going on between the Gogol Empire and the Jaicro Empire.
She is one of the best I've ever seen, especially when we get into female villains.
Yeah, Meow is pretty mistreated. Meow will have his time to shine though. SOON!

I never really attached to the Arachnophobia arc, even when it was still canon. I really enjoyed the show up to when they failed to prevent the kishin's release, but much of the stuff after I didn't enjoy as much. There were a couple of individual episodes that were good though, like the one with Kid in the desert.
That said, I think Medusa is a really strong villain. She's competent, motivated, has clearly thought her goals and plans through, and is simply fiendish at times. How the show introduced and grew Crona as a character was especially well utilized to this effect.

So looking at the japanese opening for dandy it looks like he's crying, we might get some serious moments and feels in the near future.

Reading HxH at Bass' behest. Is Gon supposed to be so damn perfect? Dude is apparently amazing at everything.

gon is far from perfect.

I see. Good. Can't wait to see what juicy character flaws Gon has.
You should watch the new anime if you haven't already.

i think this arc was still pretty good initially, though i do agree it's definitely a step down.

It's more like everyone else is just a thousand times better at certain things. Once the HxH world really gets explored, you realize how insignificant the kid is, at least at first.

today i learned the protagonist of the SAO writer's other series, Accel World, is Cartman.
As long as it's used as a term of endearment and not in a derogative manner. At least that's what I'm assuming and seeing in the search history lol.
Don't worry, the entire series is about deconstructing the standard tropes of the genre and/or using them in new and inventive ways. You'll see.
Dandy with that stormtrooper aim.
As the series goes on Gon's stubbornness really begins to rear its head as he fights stronger and stronger opponents. If it wasn't for his friends Gon would have been dead long LONG ago. You really start to see this in GI and the CA arcs.
Wishing it was Tuesday already.
