[LOLDSFAN]

We DBZ now.

 

[Regiruler]

And this is why it was really odd that the previous filler arc had that woman who could use multiple elements and wasn't human: Kakuzu has the same gimmick!

Spoiler

Doesn't Pain as well?

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Kakashi fucks shit up in his jammies

 

[Schadenfreude]

This guy is like an end game boss. Has all types of attacks and didn't die after one blow.

 

[Raxus]

Kakashi can be broken af at times.

Kakazu is the avatar.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

BUT WHAT ABOUT THAT ONE FILLER GIRL!?!?!

Pierrot's fillers were never original.

Kakashi is also the avatar.

Kakashi is really the best. Good to have him along. Everyone bow to his greatness. Time for One Piece.

 

[Seda]

False Darkness is a p cool attack name imo

 

[Raxus]

As far as action episodes in Naruto go.. it's definitely one of the best.

Uhh Bebop was very clearly a sci-fi show; space western, neo noir whatever sub genre you wanna define it under. Bebop also started with a more light hearted tone that enabled it to be more goofy at times and more serious in others its what made the show work. Also Hatchin's comically evil family didn't set up the wacky hi jinx action scenes like we see with the bull fighting or in this weeks car chase, it set up most people in Brazil are manipulative scum bags and that element has been consistent. M&H always had a more serious tone from the git go so when it trys to do more goofy action scenes or acid trip episodes it feels more out of place.

Bebop isn't Sci-Fi in the say way Dandy is Sci-Fi. Perhaps there is a better term to distinguish between them but Dandy is fantasy in the way Star Trek is (faster than light travel, intelligent life all over the place, the ability to move through dimensions with ease, etc.) whereas I could actually imagine the tech in Bebop existing in like 200 years.

As for tone, as Oni said, we get people driving through windows in episode 1 to say nothing of all sorts of crazy antics the the following episodes. M & H has serious elements but it was never a "gritty" show. It allowed for levity from the beginning with like car chases every other 2nd/3rd episode. Like I just don't see any problematic tonal whiplash in the show. You seem to REALLY dislike Michiko (I refuse to believe anyone hates Hatchin) and I think that has influenced your perception of all other parts of the show?

 

[Doctor Decimate]

oh this bump again

 

[Seda]

[Doctor Decimate]

Time to watch an actual good show

i can say with a huge amount of confidence that tonight's Shippuden episode is better than tonight's One Piece episode by a hell of a lot

 

[Raxus]

Okay, how much more Rainbow star and how much more Filler?

Dunno about Rainbow star but we have only one more episode of filler after this.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

No recaps huh?

Then again, it was filler.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Zoro's swords are huge

 

[grandjedi6]

NO RECAP

Usually that means we're in for a really well paced epic episode!
