Bleach 292-302: So over the past like week I've been trying to finish the arrancar arc but my god the filler is destroying any enthusiasm I have.:? Like seriously, there's this huge battle going on for the fate of man kind and they keep stopping it for bloody pointless filler episodes, it's like 2 of the story then 2 filler, then back to the story and so on.
I think the episode where they were all monsters was the straw that broke the camels back for me, but it is by no means the worst, there was a episode that was basically an ad for one of the movies lol it's a shame as I do enjoy the arrancar stuff, but ffs just stop with the filler every 2 episodes. /rant.

I can see why to be honest. Thing is I don't hate all filler (I actually quite enjoyed the filler arc where all the zanpakuto took their physical forms, or at least the first half of it), it's the fact that they are placed every couple of episodes in series 14, killing any momentum the final battle has. I shall persevere none the less.animefreak17 said:

I agree the one episode fillers were the worst, especially those ones about Kon and his Karakuraizer adventures. Saying that i quite enjoyed the filler season long arcs i've seen, Bount arc, Captain Shūsuke Amagai arc & Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc.
When i go back to watching Bleach i think i'll just check this site and cut out all the filler: http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Episodes

Tantei Team KZ Jiken Note Episode 3.
Mystery solved! Sort of. As it turns out, what happened was something that I had suspected might be the case given the information in the previous episode but I decided it was unlikely because I couldn't think of a good way for it to not sound a bit silly. I suppose what happened is kind of possible but it still sounds silly and the details of how it happened don't really help that.
It's going to be interesting to see how this turns out, I have to wonder if the police will have solved the case before Team KZ get there. Given that the armed robber was apparently driving with Wakatake's bike stuck on the front of their car for the entire journey home, it's hard to imagine that no one noticed them. Team KZ also have something of a disadvantage, with their investigations being delayed by the need to get home before it gets too late (due to them being kids and all). Since Wakatake decides it'd be better to solve the crime themselves rather than tell the police what they've discovered, the police don't have quite the same information to work with but they should still have a decent shot at solving the crime. I'm hoping the show can at least avoid the need to make the police look incompetent in order to have the team solve the crime.
At least the possibility of going to the police is often brought up, with Wakatake using his motivation/manipulation skill to overrule more sensible suggestions. While the case does involve a bit of coincidence to get the team investigating something bigger, it does also feel plausible that they'd get carried away with the idea of solving the case. It does sometimes feel like some thought has gone into the stories but at the same time there are elements that seem a bit silly. I've mentioned it before but it does keep making me wonder just how much of the show is self-aware.
I don't think I'm really watching the show for the mysteries so much as curiousity about what the writers will do next. I wouldn't say it's really a bad show either so that maybe helps to make it watchable.
Anime De Training! Ex Episode 2.
There's a different character taking us through the exercises in this episode, which I would have known about had I read the show description before watching it. The description says there'll be five girls and that they're trying to become Idols, though nothing in the show seems to relate to the Idol aspect. I suppose they might be trying to become fitness Idols (I'd probably be more surprised if that's not a thing at this point) or maybe I just haven't been paying enough attention. There's not a lot of time per episode and story doesn't seem to be a major concern anyway.
This episode's main character is the Tsundere type, although she's fairly mild and non-violent so even people that don't like Tsundere characters aren't too likely to have a problem with her. She mostly tries to put on a front of arrogance that's fairly easy to see through. The characters seeming "manufactured" still applies, although I suppose it would be difficult to do a lot in around four minutes.
Having a Tsundere and all, this one seemed to be aiming a little more specifically towards certain groups. Still, it was mostly mild so it seems like it could be a reasonable balance to draw in the desired groups while not necessarily putting people off.
I thought it was interesting that the swimsuit fantasy the character had also included her having a slightly different appearance, from a fanservice point of view it would seem to undermine the particular appeals of the character's design. On the other hand, I suppose it gives a bit more variety to the fanservice despite just having the one character. There could also be a case for it being aimed at inspiring those who may be interested in the exercise aspect of the show (by suggesting possible results from the exercise), though I did feel that the show wasn't taking the idea entirely seriously.
I wonder if there'll turn out to be an actual character that we see things from the perspective of, that could be interesting. I think it would be expecting too much to believe an actual story might develop but I do kind of like the idea.
The blurring issue from last time didn't seem to appear in this episode, so that's something. It's a reasonably well constructed show with some educational value. I'm not sure it would rate highly as entertainment but to be fair it may be better than some other short shows.
I wonder if it's kind of strange that I'm spending more time writing about these odd short anime than watching them (maybe it's strange enough that I'm watching them in the first place).

I guess it's a case of "science did it", I think someone even says "It's probably best not to think about it too much". The whole thing is really just an excuse for a (fairly cool) special forces operation episode.IncendiaryLemon said:

I think GTO will be the next show I marathon. These last two episodes were fun to watch.
Was going to watch M&H but I was busy with the whole MCM News write-ups etc.
Tomorrow I'll get through more episodes of M&H and hopefully play a game that's not Rock Band 3. :lol:

Sounds like the story is getting close to the final act, especially since there's only 3 episodes left.

I didn't understand why this show got so big, and I still don't understand the mass appeal 10 episodes in.
All I can say is that I just really enjoy watching it. I've even pre-ordered the JP BD release of the movie too...
