Given how the current discussion goes, I think this is fitting. Japanese fans ranked the best Parent/Child duos in anime.
Goku and Gohan came in at #3.

I also scrolled and somebody commented that they liked Goku, but how the hell was he in the poll?! Lol!
I'm not surprised by #1 or #2 from what I can remember. Though it has been a while since I watch the show at #1.

I fully agree with every sentiment in that scene.
Ging has only one scene where he's not being a piece of shit dad.

Dammit, that character assassination thread on game-gaf reminded me of Bionic Commando, the 2008 game.
Words can't describe how full stupid that game goes at the end and how serious it takes itself.
I know what you're thinking, "Hellwarden, it's already a pretty dumb..."
You know nothing.

Isshin is actually probably the legit best "shonen dad." This is going to be one of the rare times I saw Bleach should've ranked higher.
THE SECRET OF THE ARM.
Also, even Capcom at one point joked about the character/arm design, as they photoshopped a bunch of hot dogs over it to celebrate 4th of July.

I know nothing about Bleach, I got my long running Shonen when I watched Naruto, not touching Bleach...ever probably.

I always found this hilarious. If it wasn't for Mito being so good and Killua's Geordi Leforge cosplaying mother being so batshit Killua would straight have the best family out of the whole cast.
I dunno about that. Best dad maybe, but his family (
out side Alluka
At least they all love Killua in their own twisted, and fucked up way.

His grandad Zeno is pretty chill.

Miluki is nuts, but he's more or less harmless to Killua, Kalluto isn't like her mom, Illumi, well he's fucking BFF with Hisoka of all fucking people so...yeah...but at the same time he ain't letting anybody harm Killua. Both Zeno and Silva are chill as fuck so...yeah the family is fucked up, but at the very least they all love Killua in some fashion. Not to mention Killua's butlers.
Even
Netero likes and trusts him
I am still saddened that never got an anime when the Azumanga Daioh one turned out rather good, not to mention it was one of ADV's better dubs.

Those Saturday nights must be very awkward for Spencer.
That Tatsu was on point.

Sometimes I swear Madhouse got the bare minimum to work with art assets wise from the manga.

:O I can't believe Fairy Tail is ending! How else am I going to cope?!

Pft! I never really got into the series and read a bit of the start. Never really got my interest later. Heard stories of where the series goes and oh boy, does it sound like it went down into the dumps!
These "last arcs" don't mean anything to me. Bleach was in its last arc for like 5 years.

Kalluto's actually a boy
Like with ONE, Togashi does have a very particular style of line-work that could be real hard to replicate.
Nothing to say about some of the nonexistent backgrounds other than I have heard complaints of them being very plain to some viewers of MADHOUSE's anime, but there's no helping that. And it IS a character-driven story after all, so even I never thought the backgrounds mattered too much
It is all fairly stylized in the end
Edit: and yeah what B-Dubs said - that was probably one of the magazine scanlations (before it may have been redrawn in the volume format)
Naruto's final arc lasted for like a decade. This shit can drag on forever.
That might be the magazine release, if so he'll have cleaned it up for the volume release.
For whatever reason, the author thinks Yotsuba wouldn't really work as an anime.

Royal Guard get drawn very poorly in the magazine as well?
"This place..." Togashi makes sure the food is on point.
Rumor is he's been letting his wife help him out lately, you can see the influence here and there.

Just so I don't come off as completely in defense of whatever Togashi does, he probably did just
Even then, it is kinda fascinating that he'd put so much detail (for the end result of that magazine scan) of that one panel featuring...a shot of food.

Comedy wise, I agree with him. It relies so much on the fact that it's a manga that you couldn't really replicate it in animation without changing it into something that doesn't really 'fit'.
JadedWriter

If he did that why wouldn't he do that for Gon? If you're making sure random food is better drawn than your protag you might be trolling at that point. HxH really does just have a weird art style to me. The most recent stuff isn't bad looking at all though.
Shocker.

I heard that the anime of Rave deviated heavily from the art style of the manga
and we all preferred it to look that way
WITH A CARROT-NOSED DOG!
Started my Samurai Jack marathon with the first three episodes.
This is how you do visual storytelling, what animation was made for. You can parse everything that's happening perfectly. Hell, there's so little dialogue, it takes 17 minutes before Jack says a word.
Honestly I never saw the first three episodes, just ones that came after. Interesting that Jack is a nickname he picked up from the first people he met in the future and we never learn his real name.
The next 49 episodes will be a treat.
Anything I miss? *sees Fairy Tail is ending* Oh noooo however will I cope? PFfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Reel Big Fish! Interesting choice for an anime dub opening and I have always liked the band since I really like ska bands (these guys, Less Than Jake, Streetlight Manifesto, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones) But yeah, Rune Master > Fairy Tail from what I've seen of both.
Rave Master had the benefit of a solid plot. It knew where it was going and what the endgame generally looked like from the very start of the series. Plus not every arc looked like every other arc.
About done with my marathon. Currently a few episodes into the last season. I'm constantly surprised by how well the show holds up. I definitely couldn't appreciate some of the beautiful cinematography and animation when I watched it as a kid. I can't think of any bad episodes either. There's a few that are just kinda ok, but none that are straight up bad.
....holy crap, Yotsuba& is still going? I can't remember the last volume I read, but I know I borrowed about 6 volumes from my library. Plus I own the Azumanga omnibus combining all 4 volumes into one.
It's been a long time since I've read it, but remind me why it works better as a manga than anime.
Also, I found out they did a TV spin-off of that Danbo character from Yotsuba called "Nyanbo" where it's a bunch of 5-minute shorts involving CGI of the figurines in the real world.
Oh yeah, a lot of kids could have gotten bored of this. I'm surprised it even managed to last four seasons beforehand.
Now as an adult, it's brilliant.
I'm at the beginning of Season 3 atm.
I'm amazed that the show managed to take the premise "Jack gets turned into a chicken" and make it interesting
And yeah, Yotsuba& is still going. And it's still great!
